That is the utterance of the greatest
rditor Of the south. Henry Watterson,
IN his lecture on Lincoln
On the 10Th day Of February next
will be celebrated the one hundredth
anniversary Of Abraham Lincoln's
birth.
Eulogies will be pronounced. and ora
tors will analyZe the beginnings and
trace the growth of this great soul, but
when all is done they must come back
to the conclusions of Watterson.
God made Lincoln.
And Lincoln, in the making, cooper
ated with the Divine purposes.
You cannot account for Lincoln on
the theory Of hereGity. At their very
best his people were accounted as
poor white trash" Nor can you ac-
count for him on the theory Of en-
y1ronment There was nothing in his
surroundings that would make a great
man.
| And yet
| 1t is scarcely impious to suggest that
since the days of Christ himself no
man was SO humanity divine.
If you wish to realize this state
ment in its fullness. read over again
the beatitudes of the sermon on the
mount and note how Lincoln's char
acter fills the measure of these beati-
tudes.
BLESSED are the merciful." Who
was more merciful than this man,
whose soft heart ached for the suffer.
ing south and who could hardly be
forced to consider the death Of a de-
serter?
BLESSED are the pure In heart "
How that fits Lincoln! His great
white SOUL was as innocent of guile
as that of child.
BLESSED are the meek" Who Waf
meeker in his high position than thft
shy, awkward giant?
Go on and read about the peace
makers and all the rest, and you VII
be forced to WatteDson's conclusions.
Since Lincoln no one ought to find
difficult to understand how the divine
and the human eould be merged In
man.
What is the worth Of that celebra
ton at the tomb in Springfield GENE
tery and at Lincoln farm in Kentuck!
and elsewhere?
It Is to be found In the law OF az
sanitation A people is assimilated
slowly merged, into the likeness OF It
great men whom 1t loves and admires
We need a renaissance OF the quan
ties Of Lincoln.

MODERN PREACHING.

A Philadelphia preacher has struck
a keynote. He says the preachers OF
the country must return to the preach
ing Of punishment for sin.
; O wise preacher!
He notes the awakening Of the pub
lie conscience as to economic, political
and social evils and says:
Colossal villains have been un-
yelled to merciless publicity. and the
majesty Of the law has been asserted
and the sword Of justice unsheathed."
In other words, during the past few
years men in high places have dtscov-
cred THERE is A HELL
Worse than the hades pictured By
medieval theology b the day Of judg-
ment that has come to these men.
They have learned that the death 70.
ferred to in Scripture the soul that
sinneth it shall die''-is infinitely to
be dreaded beyond any physical tor
ture Of fire and birthstone.
Here is the opportunity Of ths
preachers.
What IL going on in the civic world
has It's PARALLEL in the spiritual world.
The preachers need only 10 point out
the parallel.
In the reaction from the old ma
terialistic teaching the pulpits have
turned to the themes concerning the
love and mercy Of God, forgetting the
judgments Of the Almighty.
They have used the soft pedal.
There has been a lot Of sweetness
and light" There has been little OF
laundering at mems conscience. little
LAYING down Of the eternal laws Of
retributiOn.
The preachers must be blind to the
signs Of the times II they do not see
the opportunity for the old time
preaching concerning the awfulness OF
sin and the certainty Of punishment.
Let them show men that, as Elmer
son says, "sin and punishment grow
on the same STEM Let them cite the
certainties Of the moral law and illus
trate these certainties by what Is go
ing on in the world every day.
THE HELL WHICH MEN VIRTUE
| IN is IN PLAIN VIEW.
| All the priest needs to do is to point
| the finger and say to men. "THNRE
| IT ISL
| Why not hunt up some OF the ola
texts and give them new setting
This one. which came hot from the
heart Of the Master and directed t.

RE A Is bOOSTER."

"BOOSt" Is slang word that ntS aO-
mirably into American speech. There
is no other that quite conveys the
same meaning.
Jolly is another bit Of colloquialism
that is useful in it's way. But there
Is a wide difference between a Jolly
and boost.
To jolly Is to tlatter.
To boost Is to put forth sincere e.
fort.
The jolly is from the lips only.
The boost comes from the heart.
The booster has a genuine attach
ment to his cause. whatever that may
be. He has faith in that which he
boosts. He believes; therefore he
boosts.
The booster always is an optfmist.
A pessimist cannot boost. He doesn't
know how. A pessimist is naturally
"knocker." The word ''knocker." by
the way, Is another useful coinage In
our American speech.
Instance the man who boosts his
town. To him his town is the center
Of the universe. His. property Is there
his home, his family, his future.
even his grave, probably; therefore he
believes his town is worth boosting.
An admirably good fellow is the
booster Of his town.
And SO Of the man who boosts his
church. He believes the doctrine OF
his church is right. He believes the
preacher is the best. He urges you to
come next Sunday and occupy his pew.
The pastors best beloved is the
church booster.
And 50 of the man who boosts his
home. His home is the coolest, his
wife the sweetest and best and his
children the smartest Of all. Mind
| YOU. he doesn't go about telling these
things. But he boosts his home just
the same, as everybody knows. ana
especially his family.
! It Is not so of the j0llier, who keeps
his promise to the ear. but breaks 1t to
the hope.
It Is not 80 Of the knocker, who II a
nuisance to his town, his church, his
home-and to himself.
The booster is wise in his day and
generation, because when he boosts he
boosts himself. When the knocker
knocks the knock comes back upon the
knocker. BY the same law OF reac-
ton. when the booster boosts the boost
comes back upon the booster.
Boosting is the soul Of all work.
Work without soul is drudgery. Ell
fort OF whatsoever sort without enthu-
siasm is but dreary commonplace. But
the booster puts soul in his work, ano
therefore his work is a constant series
of happy accomplishments.

tween the divorced father. Count Boni
de Castellane, and the notorious STEP
father. Prince Helie de Sagan, the Gus
+ody of Anna GOuld's children has been
given to the mother.
Poor boys!
Ostensibly the legal fight was over
the young children-Boni. George, Jay.
In reality it was a struggle to get
hold Of the money in the hands OF the
guardian.
The profiigate, gold greedy father
wanted the handling of the $4,000 a
year, and the greedy. notorious STEP
father also wanted it.
Nobody cared for the children.
That Is saying much.
But the only one who could care

creature who turned them over to a
nurse as soon as they were born and
afterward to a good priest.
Poor boys!
They are frau things with tired, SAD
features, already old in appearance, In

What could you expect?

It seems a hard thing to say, but
Anna Gould must herself bear the

With most women the lesson would

disease this acid must be expelled and

disease and requires an internal remedy.
Rubbing with Oils and Liniments will
not cure, affords only temporary relief

get a firmer hold on you. Liniments
may ease the pain but they will no

Typhoid and the Soldier.

From the Chicago Tribune
4 soldier who takes part in a military
campaign expects to face danger and per-
haps to meet death. 1t is part of his
profession. The bravery of men in peril
is well known. The worlds history Is
filed with stories of heroism. No greater
shame can come to soldier than to be
proved guilty of cowardice.
But disease is far more destructive in
warfare than the enemy s 81 e IN
deaths resulting from 1t are always moro
numerous than those which come directly
on the battlefield. AS matter of fact,
the soldiers killed i'm fighting are compare
lively few 1t is always surprising to
discover the great mortality with which,
disease is charged.
Sanitation has made marked advances
since the civil war. II has gone far
ahead since the Spanish war. In case OF
another American conflict many lives will
b. saved because of increased knowl-
edge of disease and the methods of fight
ing it. The experiments with typhoid
serum have special interest because OF
this consideration. The soldiers who sub
mtted to the tests were in the line Of
duty. If the study of their cases gives
the medical staff of the army added abil-
ity to cope with typhoid fever there Will
be a great gain. Taken with other in
vestigations in the field Of medical re-
search. the incident is worthy Of general
attention Epidemics OF various kinds
are fast losing their terTors.
