BEFORE THE DAWN

Always, before the flush of breaking day, there is the time of blackest dark ness.
 The night has worn its weary way through interminable hours.
 It seems an age since the glow of sun set filled the sky. The stars are hidden; riftless clouds obscure the heavens, sil- ence sits upon the earth.
 The day-the bright, glorious sun filled day--to many weary heart it seems like some dream the other side of eternity. in that darkest hour just be- fore the dawn.
 Then is when human hope is weakest. It may be sorrow that has cast its heavy gloom over the soul. It may be care. It may be worry. It may be dis appointment. It may be besetting sin. It may be any one of the many causes of mortal anguish.
 When that hour, of all hours, comes in your life, do not give up! Fight on; cease not in your endeavor to overcome whatever foe to happiness confronts you. There is no sin so dark that man, "cre- ated in Gods image and likeness, v may not overcome, if he will but remem- Der that he is Man, and Man is Spirit, bound by no fetters that mortality can forge.
 There is no grief so great that God will not heal it when man turns to God for healing. There is no disappoint- msnt that does not carry its lesson of grace. There is no worry that has a right to exist, for worry is only self-in ficted suffering.
 Don't give upl When the darkest hour comes, when it seems as though the biackness and silence were to be eternal, know that the dawn is, and has been, since the world began, as inevitable as the night. It is coming for you, if you will only keep brave heart and await its coming with wide eyes that see God as the only power, and His goodness as the only real force in creation.
 The darkness shall pass, and the light shall follow. Be brave in the hour be- fore dawn

The thanks of the Paragraphers union are extended, we don't think, to George M. Bailey, of the Houston Post for inviting the members of the union to banquet down his way, and send. ing the cards out too late for any of the invitees to accept. It is entirely probable, however, that he was deter. mined none of them should have an op portunity to learn the real truth about Houston if he could help it.

We never know.

We never know.
 If We knew we would not envy and would be far gentler in our judgments.
 We do not know the sorrowing heart, or perhaps the silent endurance of physical pain, that lies back of the cold, repressed manner of our friend.
 We do not see the tragedy of disap- pointed hopes and ambitions in the face of the man who asks for a job.
 We do not comprehend the unspoken pleading for love and patience in the apparently incorrigible child whose at. titude defies us.
 We do not know the shame and de spajr of the drunkard nor the brave fight which he makes in his moments of free dom, when hope springs up anew in his breast.
 We never behold the secret sorrow or the girl who has given herself to shame, when the purity of her woman hood asesrts itself, and with buried face and bitter tears she sits in the presence of God.
 We seldom realize the heroism of the old man, who is forced to earn his bread in extreme age, facing in pain and wear mess daily toll, the passing of his strength and the grim presence of the Angel of Death.
 We never know until we, too have suffered; until sorrow, pain, mortifica- ton and defeat have claimed us for their own.
 And if in the battle we sometime reach that place of divine compassion and understanding of the hearts of oth. CTS, where we would never willingly cause another pain, and would gladly help fellow being in his hour of need, let us be thankful that it has been given us to belong to the great brotherhood of those who suffer.

cuRB1Na AN EMPEROR.

Chancellor von Buelow has perform cd the task of subduing his imperial master with tact and evident effect. Emperor William, for his part, display ed wise discretion. Yet when the net result of the barley is set down in cold type, as it is in the official com munications, 1t wears somewhat mega tive apeparance. It is a promise, and nothing more. An imperial promise, to be sure, but imperial promises have been wrested before from unwilling sovereigns that were writ in sand. Doubt seems to exist even in Germany as to the value of the concessions that the kaiser felt obliged to fling to his people. It is pointed out that reforma- tion of his conduct would overturn the habits of a lifetime, and the emperor is no longer young. It would reverse the deepssated conviction of an imperious intellect, bred to faith in the divinity that doth hedge a king. The imperial conduct, asseverates the chancellor, will faithfully follow the imperial word. We shall wait and see, reply his followers, and that is the policy the reichstag appears committed to for the present, at least. At all events, the chancellor's resignation has been pock- eted again.
 Thus Germany does not seem to be on the eve of important constitutional changes affecting the relations of the crown with the legislature, unless the self -immolating attitude = the kaiser may be rsckoned as sue snge. Should he withdraw from his activities in the realm of foreign affairs, and should his ministers assume their full constitutional responsibilities, as is promised, there would be a restoration of the normal balance of power between the ministry and the crown. Perhaps that is all that will happen, assuming that the emperor adheres to his part of the bargain. In this view the whole af- fair resolves itself into a question of curbing a too aggressive personality. The emperor, whatever his faults, is full of patriotic ardor for his empire and his people. Like our own strenu- ous president, he embodies the aspira- tions of a rapidly developing nation, and much has been forgiven him be- cause of the rectitude of his intentions. Even the interview which was the oc- casion of the present agitation was pub lished in the hope that it might make for comity between England and Ger many. But the empire, after all, is constitutional monarchy, and there are limits to imperial function. These him its the kaiser has continually ignored, and the painful duty set the chancellor by the reichstag was that of bringing the kaiser within bounds. If the kaiser were a good politician, he would speed fly set afoot some public diversion, and We doubt not that in few months he will command majority of the popu- lar vote once more.

A man was being driven by a friend through an avenue in a Cal ifornia city. As they were admir- ing the rich homes surrounded by palms and paper trees, luxuriant shrubbery and flowers, the friend turned to the man and said: ''Ev- cry house in that row has its trag- edy.' And then followed the recit- al of some of the saddest stories hu man lips have ever uttered.
