See yon heavy laden pilgrim,
 Through the wilderness of sin; Sec him lift his eyes to heaven,
 And this humble prayer begin: "Is there, Lord, no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? VIII He heal tho brolSen-hearted?
 Will he hear my humble prayer? .Is there not a home in heaven,
 Where the weary find a place? May a poor, repentant sinner
 Bow before a throne of grace? I have heard of balm in Gilead,
 And a great Physician there; I have heard that pitying heaven
 Will the chief of sinners spare." Pilgrim look Who comes from Edom.
 With His garments dyed in blood; He alone hath trod the wine-press,
 Great, incarnate, Son of God; He hath looked through Gods creation, Found that there was none to save; Ills own arm hath brought salvation Through the portals of tho grave. Now proclaim to all the weary
 They may find eternal rest; Tell the heavy-laden sinner
 He may be forever blest. Shout the news to all the nations,
 Let them all the blessing share, Tell them there is balm in Gilead,
 And a great Physician there.

the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowst not whether shall prosper, either this or that. or whether they both shall be alike good" Montgomery has beautifully paraphrased this thought, and expanded 1t into a hymn which should not only charm the taste. but nerve the arm of every Christian worker;
 Sow In the morn thy seed;
 At eve hold not thy hand:
 To doubt and fear give thou no heed;
 Broadcast it OCT the land: And duly shall appear
 In Verdure, beauty strength, The tender blade, the stalk, the ear,
 And the full corn at length. Thou canst not toll in vain;
 Cold, heat the moist and dry, Shall foster and mature the grain
 For gamers In the sky.
 Then, when the glorious end,
 The day of God shall come
 The angel-reapers shall descend,
 And heaven sing Harvest Homep' Few preachers, ancient or modern have ever contended with more or greater

PARIS "SWEATSHoP" FIGURES.
Women Whose Pay for a Lifetime
 Hardly Equals Cost of Gown.

From the Boston Herald.
 Here are some "sweatshop" figures for American tourists delectation. A cu- rous light has been thrown on the aver age earnings of more than half a mill lion working women in Paris by recent returns of the statistical office. Judging by the results published, the earnings of a whole lifetime of one of these unfor- tunate creatures would hardly pay the price of a single dress purchased by her fashionable sister in the rue de la Paix. Lingerie seamstresses earn on an aver age from three to five sous an hour. but a large number of them can barely make 12 centmes an hour, or about 25 cents a day, by working 15 or 16 hours.
 Some one who had the curiosity to visit these poor working women in different parts of Paris has drawn woeful pic- ture He reaches the sixth floor in & small garret room; a young woman, less than 30 wears spectacles-all seam- stresses must. He asks the young wo- man bent over her work how much she can earn. "One franc 20 centimes a day, by making two shirts and working hard for ten hours" In another house he finds a still younger woman. She makes chains for childrens toy watches, and has to make IA for cents. Another woman makes feather boas. She has to sew the feathers to tape and bunch the qullls below, a very painful operation for tho fingers, which become covered with hard Jumps Two boas yard and half long constitute her days work. for which she receives trife over 25 cents.
 The making of boas has the disad- vantage of inducing phenomenal obesity. The women so employed all become enormously fat and the doctors imagine that 1t must be owing to some powder or dust in the feathers. Think of this. mesdames, when you wear that becom- ing accessory of the well ordered street costume 0 feather boa!

 Many of the nobles and of the people were probably looking to foreign aid to rescue them from their troubles, or to tide them over this dark and dreadful period of their national life. But Jeremiah knew better. He was not only prophet, but a profound and sagaeious statesman; and he knew that no foreign medicine could cure the ills of the state.

When a sinner Is first awakened to sense of his sins the first thing that eom- monly ocurs to him is to 'get himser right" or ito become good" or, at least, "to do better" in some way altogether apart from the teachings of the Scrip tures which are able to make us wise unto salvation.

 of righteousness. Theirs was no easy task. Many a time they felt their own souls overwhelmed with n sense of their insufficiency to perform the tasks that had been set before them, and to bear the burdens which had been laid upon them by King, from whose commands they durst not swerve, and a judge, from whose. de- cisons there was no appeal.
 The very revelations which were made to them sometimes appalled, them with a sense of their personal unwor- thiness, and of their inability to do the great work which Jehovah had com mitted to them.

A "Write-Up" of Lancaster.

Mr.. A. l. Lord, who for the past
twenty ears has been engaged in
writing up and illustrating Wiscon-
sin cities, is preparing a work on
this city in the interest of the Wis
cons1n Industrial Review, a monthly
paper devoted to promoting the
welfare and growth of the state.
The Lancaster edition will be
profusely illustrated with cuts of all
points of interest, and contain read
ing matter, historical, descriptive,
etc., which will be entertaining and
instructive reading.
Mr.. Lord has been very success
full, through his writings, in secur-
ing factories, etc., for the state, and
his effort here will be largely direct
ed to showing up the resources of
Lancaster, for manufacturing, and
the possibilities of this section of
the state for general dairying.
In fact, this is a class of work
which should meet with the hearty
encouragement of the public as it
will be an exhibit which will result
in general good for the community.

destinies of these young people, and
when they arose from receiving
the blessing two sweet little
girls-Marguerite Eberhardt and
Mary Laird James, standing upon
either side of them, pulled the
long white ribbons attached to the
base of the bell, causing shower
of rose leaYes and buds to descend
upon the newly married couple as
the guests came up to offer con-
gratulations.

publisher of the Herald and wife,

work are very busy these days; not
SO much surveying as looking up
chances for a contest ON some poor
fellows claim who is doing his best

The man who will scheme to take
away a fellow beings home under
conditions like this ought to be run

Called go"

Word has been received of the
death of Bob" Wilkerson at the
Printers Home at Colorado Springs.
Fob was an old time printer, one of
the kind who never had a regular
abiding place. He had cases in the
News office in this city and also in the
I.eader-Herald Office at Nampa. His
health failed him to such an extent
that he was finally sent to the Home
where he passed away. Bob" like
many of the old time printers always
carried his heart on his sleeve, ever
ready to help one of the craft by di-
viding his last dollar, or for that
matter, his last two bit piece with a
friend. Bob may never have monu-
ment over his last resting place but
he will long be remembered for his
generous deeds, and when the great
book is opened his account will be
found balanced by having done more
GOOD than harm while on earth.
