tegrity and for our own best devel-
opment Il is obligatory that we serve
the Lord our God and Him only.
Then, too, Il Is necessary that men
shall give God the prime position in
their lives In order to the glory OF
the Father-which is the chief end OF
man--and In order to the cultivation
of all that is noblest within them,
men muSt ally themselves with those
spiritual and godly elements and
ideals in life that make for the high
est and the best. No man Is so well
rounded a man as he who measures
his life-work by spiritual and eternal
standards. The opportunist has no
chance in Gods Kingdom. The ca
reer that is most a blessing to the in
dividual and to mankind Is the one
that Is grounded in godliness and
whose works of righteousness are
the result of the inward work.
ings Of holy love. The effort OF
the rightly balanced man is to be
most of use and to have the world
mark and remember him as worth
while The man who is most of ac-
count and whose memory Will be
longest cherished is that man whose
life is squared to the measure of god
illness revealed In Jesus Christ. Good
ness is necessary TO lasting success.
The man who is the best man and
whose achievement is permanent Is
the man who serves God in the unity
of love.
In the last place, the fruits of such
service are satisfactory. A man may
till the soil and reap many harvests
till his barns be full. but If he have
no communion with God he will go
hungry in the after life. What TO
you is your money when God calls
you to the heavenly places? The
amount of Christian character you
possess, not the coins that crowd your
purse, will be the measure of your
value then and there What are your
clothes when deaths shroud encloses
you? What are you--you who have
worshiped at the altar of your own
wisdom-when God puts you in the
! balance? All these things are ad-
mittedly unsubstantial But the
wealth of God endures. The Chris
tian who is clothed upon by Jesus
Christ shall ever be prepared to stand
within the presence OF Almighty God.
The wisdom of God is sufficient unto
the saving of the soul and lasts for
ever. II we would but reverse things
and make all the material elements
and all our intellectual abilities sub
( servient and subsidiary and subordi-
nate to the prime work of the spir-
ltual service of Jehovah life would be
more satisfactory. He who serves
I God gets money enough and eternal
life. The striver for eminence in
godliness and uprightness will be
we'll in the front of Heavens society
and will not want for recognition
among people whose approval is
worth anything-here. The deepest
knowledge and the hardest task the
mind of man can attack is to be found
In the appropriation of the eternal
wisdom of our God The fruits of
God-serving are peace, Joy, content
ment, purity, eternal life. The prizes
Of the world are fleeting. The serv-
ing of God is satisfactory. To him
who is faithful the reward Is sure.

NIlssissippl,s Main Outlet.

1t is announced that the titanic
public works in progress of construc-
tion by the United States Govern
ment at the Southwest Pass of the
Mississippi River are in a most fa-
vorable state of progress. This is
the main mouth or outlet of the great
river, and is being treated with jet
ties in the same way as was the
South Pass some thirty years ago.
1t was then proposed to open South
west Pass, but the Government would
not consent to it, and required that
the experiment be tried on South
Pass, the least important of three
The plan of operations was to narrow
the pass by jetty walls and thus force
the current to carry out the mud
and dig out the channel by its in
creased velocity and force. Complete
success crowned the work, which was
undertaken and carried out under
heavy forfeits by the great engineer.
James B. Eads The success with
South Pass, where a channel of thirty
feet was secured, has encouraged the
operations at Southwest Pass, where
from thirty-five to forty feet of wa
ter Is expected. 1t is reported that
all the submarine work has been
completed end the superstructure
only remains to be done. This Will
make New Orleans equal in depth OF

IS: 1880; / Pet. 5: s.
The Jewish Church had long been
trained for the victorious Messiah.
The teachings had been colored by
materidlism, and so the leaders look
ed for a temporal king. Jesus at the
start attempted to win and use this
splendid organization. Their Jealousy
opposition to his teaching. and as a
final occasion their bitterness at the
healing of the withered hand on the
Sabbath, led Jesus to recognize the
necessity of a new church. He then
selected the twelve disciples and gave
them the Sermon on the Mount as
the constitution of the new organiza-
tion. the basis for the kingdom over
which he was to rule. 1t dealt with
the character Matt. 3: 1-12) and in
nuence (Matt. 5: 13-16) of the citi-
zens, the new law Matt. 5: 17-4S)
and the new life (Matt. 6: 7-29) of the
kingdom. Luke's shorter account
Nuke g. 20-49) was either an alb
breviation, another discourse, the
points that impressed his mind. on the
subiect.matter he deemed necessary
for his purpose in presenting a brief
complete life Of Jesus.

lects or forgets his spiritual life. The

Treat All Alike.

Advertising space in a newspaper
is the principal source OF a newspa-
per's revenue. Without the money
derived from advertising but few pa
pers could exist and none of them at
the present prices of subscriptions.
In all communities there are those
who both think and act as though a
publisher should donate this advertis-
ing space for this and that most
worthy and commendable object"
There are some publishers who, for
the sake of obtaining a transient pop
ularity with this or that person. will
discriminate by giving away adyer-
tising
A bank could with the same con-
sistency give to this and that person
a special bonus for his business, or a
merchant charging more for an ar
ticle than 1t is worth in order to get
pay for articles he gives away to
special favorite customers.
A newspaper is bound to have some
set rates for advertising, and then
treat all patrons alike. ANY other
rule is unfair, unjust and dishonest

A mess of bran is always bene-
fetal to fowls. Bran contains more
phosphates and mineral matter
than ground grain, and also assists
in regulating the bowels. This is
true especially when quantity of
linseed meal is given with it, but in
the warm season a mess three times
q week is sufficient 1t may be fed
by scalding it and feeding it in a
trough, or by sprinkling it dry on a
clean board or over cooked potatoes
and turnips. No other grain should
be given if bran is allowed during
the summer season, especially If the
fowls have a large range. In fact,
no grain is necessary at all during a
warm season, but should such food
be given, let it be dry bran. Far

It is right to seek the goodwill
of all men, and to desire that they
speak well of us, but when we lie
down to die it will be an empty pill
low if this is all that we can rest
on. When we are through with life
and all its applause, and are await
ing the final call, we want some-
thing more substantial than a Chau-
tauqua salute When the faces we
love grow dim to our vision, and
we are lying in the twilight of two

much rather hear than the plaudits
and the acclaim of our countrymen.
and one of them is, We'll done, good
and faithful servant; enter thou in

Foreign Wool For America.

Word comes from Australia that
at the closing wool trade for the sea-
son in that country, active buying
was noticed for all grades OF wool
for this country The Australian
production during the season has
been the largest OH record, and all
round prices have ruled high, says
the London Live Stock Journal. Dur
ing the past ten years the sales in
Australia. apart from the wool ex-
ported for sale in England and the
continent, have increased from 775,-
900 to 1,2SS.000 bales. Apart from
the wool sold IN New Zealand, which
amounted to $4,000 bales, the Aus
tralian sales reached a total of
1,441,625 bales, an increase of 157,-
900 bales as compared with last
year.
This is one Indication of the de-
