Two Wonderful Texts.

Two texts of Scripture there are,
which, put together, I think are the
most wonderful in the Bible. they
do suggest a child lying in the cradle,
and a loving face bent over it, and a
sweet voice murmuring over it's head.
But I marvel with inexpressible sur
prise and alteration when / find VINO
the Singer is, and who is the child.
This is the first verse: LAS one
whom His mother comforteth, so will
I comfort you" The other verse
find in Zephaniah 3:17: .
1.-THE Lord thy God in the midst OF
thee is mighty; He will save, He will
rejoice over thee with joy; He will
rest in His love, He will joy over thei
with singing" Oh, I have thought
again and again in my history, of thi'
picture; and I am not too proud ID
BAY my yes have filled with tears OF
emotion as I have tried to. comprehend
how the eternal Jehovah seems tt
Sing beside one who loves Him, as J
remember how my mother used te
sing restful songs Of comfort besidt

Nail Powder.

The best powder for polishing the
nails is oxide of tin, working in about
three drops of oil of lavender to half
an ounce. A half grain of carmine
will tint it. After the oil is mixed
with the two powders they must be
passed through a fine sieve several
times to make the Jumps smooth

One Little" Sin May Blight a Life

Never trife with one sin. It IS a
little cloud which, as the poet has
said, may hold a hurricane in its
grasp. The next sin you commit may
have a mighty effect in the ~blighting
of YOUR life. You do not know the
streams that may flow from the foun-
tain; for sin is a fountain-not a
mere act, but a fountain Of evil

3S567 on July 16, 1907, On the fourth
birthday the deposits were up to $459,

in Norfolk declared the usual semi
annual dividend at the semi-annual di
rectors meetings held by the three

IHE COMING CHAUIAUQUA
WORK ON THE GROUNDS HAS
ALREADY COMMENCED.
MEETING BUT TWO WEEKS AWAY
A Picturesque Spot Beautifully
Shaded, and Convenient to Business.
Particularly Strong Program Pre-.
sented by Management.

Two weeks from today, August !,
the first annual Norfolk chau'auqua
will become fact Work on the
grounds has already commenced, the
large auditorium tent and large mum.
Der Of small tents are now on their
way here, and during the coming two
weeks active preparations will be car
ricd on TO have everything in readiness
for the big meeting. On Monday work
on the new bridge will begin. This
bridge will be thrown across the
head of the mill race, and will give
access to the grounds, which are sit
uated on an island. Here will be
found one of the pleasantest spots in
all north Nebraska A large tract of
ground, surrounded by water, with
green lawn, large branching shade
trees, Just at the edge of the city and
within three minutes walk of bust
ness, the ChautauQua offers one of the
finest places for a weeks outing that
can be conceived. Here many will
take their annual outing and they will
make no mistake, for they will combine
physical with mental recreation, each
days program being full of good
things. Among the conveniences
tending to add to the pleasure of camp
life at the chautauqua will be an
abundance of ice water at different
points, public telephone booth
connecting with both long distance
and local phones, refreshment stands
and other things that will save time
and worry and reduce the annoyances
of camp life to the minimum.
The literary program that has beer
arranged is full of high grade attract
ions, the three principal features being
the addresses of Senator DOlliver O
Iowa. who will open the chautauqut
on the first day of August; Fathe
Nugent an eminent Catholic divine o
Des Moines Iowa, and who will speal
on August g. and who is said to b'
one of the strongest platform speak
ers in America today; and Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin. one of the lead
is not often given to any chautauQu

inent men as these within four days
LaFollette was a candidate before tn
late national republican convention
for the presidency while Senate
Dolliver might have been republica
candidate for vice president if h
had but just said the word.
While these three are considere
the strongest attractions of the MOI
folk chautauqua, other speakers o
nation wide reputation will occupy tn
platform during the ten days that tn
meeting is in session. 1t is a pa
ticularly strong program Throughout
and once person becomes intereste
it is doubtful if any portion will b
missed.
