a poor, frail, crippled girl who, in order to earn her living, started out as school teacher She used to work during the day for her own bread and butter. Then in the evenings she started to teach the poor girls and boys who had to work during the day and who could not get an edu- cation unless they were taught in the evenings. Her night schools grew. Out of them grew a hospital for crippled chil- dren. Her work grew until short time ago all New Orleans turned out in the public parks to honor her memory. "Ah," you say, that was a noble life. That was a noble purpose for which to live" It's nobility consists in its resemblance to tho infinitely greater purpose for which Jesus came down to earth to suffer and to die. He came to save lost world. He came to give up His life for the lives of sinful outcasts. He came that you and l might be made one with Him in spirit and na- ture. Lord, the book of books tells us that thou didst come to save sinners and to offer up thy divine life as a sacrifice for mans sins. Does not that word sinner mean me? By Thy revealed word and Thy tragic crucfxion I know that Thou hast come to save me-yea, to save even me.
 A Guide of Life.
 Salvation through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ is an active as well as n passive condition. It is placing ourselves in yielding position so that we are willing to let the great loving arms of God encircle our hearts and draw us unto Himself, but salvation through Christ must be supplemented by the actions of a life consecrated to Him and His service after we have allowed Christ to encircle us with His love. The Bible is the coda of conduct which we should follow after we have been saved by His blood. It Is a collection of moral and spiritual rules, which will not only teach us how to live should deal with men, It Is not only a collection of rules of faith. but of rules of practice In other words, 1t Is a spir
 tual guidebook. It tells us how we should talk, how we should walk, how we should give, how we should pray It tells us how to become like our great prototype, Jesus. Christ And if we are true Chris tians It would be willful blindness to shut our eyes to it's commandments.
 In that sacred book there are no dead letter laws, as there are in some of the statutes of our earthly governments. Some years ago noted prize fight was to be fought in one of our eastern cities where I was at that time living. few days before the fistic battle party of ministers, of whom was one, entered the mayors office to protest against 1t as defiance of law and common decency. Tho mayor heard us patiently; then he said: Ut is true, gentlemen the city laws for bid this coming exhibition but that law in the eyes of most people is a dead let ter. There are scores and scores of laws

Need of Covers While Asleep.

From the New York Press.
 The reason that it is necessary to be well covered while sleeping" said a physician in giving some advice to D patient lis. that when the body lies down 1t is the intention of nature that 1t should rest, and the heart especially should be relieved of it's regular work temporarily. That organ makes ten strokes minute less than when tho body Is in an upright posture. This means 600 strokes in sixty minutes Therefore, in the eight hours that a man usually spends in taking his nights rest the heart is saved nearly 5000 strokes. As it pumps six ounces of blood with each stroke, 1t lifts 30,000 ounces less of blood in the nights ses- sion that 1t would during the day. when man is usually in an upright posi- ton. Now, the body Is dependent for its warmth on the vigor of the circu- lation and as the blood flows so much more slowly through the veins when one is lying down the warmth lost in the reduced circulation must be sup piled by extra covering"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-03-15

upon our statute books which the people do not expect us to enforce, and believe this is one of them. l shall allow the prize fight to go on." Whether the mayor of that eastern city was right or wrong I am not here to discuss, but one fact do know-in the Bible there are no dead letter rules of faith or practice. When Christ speaks to us in the sermon on the mount He expects us to follow out the commandments of that sermon. When He tells us the story of the good Samari- tan He expects us to be good Samaritans. There is no use for you and mo to say: Well, I am not selfish and and bad. After all, I am doing only what other church members do." That is not tho question. On the great day of Judgment God will not ask us. Have you done as other people have done?' but He will ask: Have you done as l commanded you to do? Have you done as Christ would have done had He been in your placer There Is no getting away from this de- duction of Bible study. The question here and now Is, Are we willing to ac- cept the Bible as our rule of life?' If We do not then all we may profess to believe as to the divinity and omnipotence of Christ and the saving power of His blood will avail us little. "Faith is the evidence of things not seen,'' but faith without works is dead"
 
 Thus the last purpose of the Bible is a natural consequence to the other three. The Bible beautifully pictures what sal vation means and the rules of conduct by which we should all press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus. Now are you. my hear er like the treasurer of Queen Candace's court, ready to look Bible truths square road of life's journey will lead you to the precipice of a bottomless pit and the other road. which goes by the way of the cross, will lead you Into life everlasting?

Will you follow the pleadings of this sacred book which will lead you today to kneel at the foot of the cross and say, My Master and my King. accept thee, and I will live for thee by thy rules of faith and practice?"
 When Rev. Dr. Harris was dead and his last will and testament was opened 1t was found that he had left to each of his children as a legacy a copy of thu Holy Scriptures. On the fly leaf of each Bible were written these three words: .'None but Christ" So today as divine gift I would place In your hands an open Bible. Read it. Read it intel ligently. Read it as God would have you read 1t. And then after you have read 1t and determined to live by its teachings seal your conservation by writing upon the fly leaf these three trenchant words: None but Christi" Will you accept this

MACE FIRE IN JAIL;
WAS BADLY BURNED
Misfortune of a Negro Prisoner in
Jail at Alachua Sunday.
RESCUED WITH DIFFICULTY

It Became Necessary to Break the
Door Of the Prison, When the Man
Was Taken Out Badly ROasted--IS
NOw n Alaehua County Jail.
From Tuesdays Daily Sun:
As the result Of a fire, which Charles
Thomas. q colored man who was in
jail at Alachua on the charge Of break
ing and entering, kindled to make him
comfortable in prison, the negro was
brought to this city Monday by Depu.
ty Sheriff N. Marcionny badly burned
about the head, neck and hands, and
the town jail at Alachua is a total
loss, with nothing but charred ruins
to tell that a building ever existed
there.
According to the story Of Officer
Marcionny, the negro is by no means
a bad character, and 1t Is not believed
that he set the Jail In order to take
chances of burning his way to free
dom. He told those who rescued him
by knocking in the door, after the
building was too far gone to save 1t,
that he felt cold, and that he had
built the fire In order to make himself
comfortable. He was the only
prisoner I'M the jail at the time, and
when taken from the place was badly
scared.
Thomas Is now in the Alachua coun-
ty jail, where he still has the charge
OF breaking and entering hanging
over him. Officer Marcionny does
not look upon the matter seriously,
as he declares, from what he can
learn, that the negro was only taking
his share of a lot Of corn which he
was under the impression Justly be-
longed TO him, having farmed on
Shares" with his step-father II ap.
pears that his step-father's corn was
attached by law, without reference to

arrested by complaint OF parties In.

The Impression He Gave.

His Honor Judge Willis, on one oc.
casion going home in an omnibus,
which landed him at an inn known az
the Green Man, as usual passed the
time in friendly discourse with the
passengers. To one housewife who
had been marketing he remarked
that owing to free trade. she was en-.
abled to buy much more for her
money than if she lived in q tariff
country. To others he talked freely
and dispensed counsel and advice in.
discriminatory. Arrived at his destin.
alton, he intimated TO the conductor,
IL want to get out at the Green Man.
Accordingly, the omnibus slowed
down. but as he was leaving his seat
a lady touched him on the sleeve and
earnestly inquired, My good man,
don't you think you've had enough ?"

OF the United States is now held by

Should each one OF these citizens at
death-and this Is to-day's drift
provide that for the next thirty or
forty years his wealth should DO
handled by trust companies for tho
benefit OF his descendants, it would
follow inevitably that a large proper
tion OF our national capital would
be concentrated under the control OF
half dozen financial institutions.
There may be benefits attending such
a concentration, but the most conser-
vative OF us can see that its dangers
are inevitable and tremendous. With
all respect for the ability and hon
esty OF these companies, no single
group OF men is capable OF admins

ought TO have such power to admin
