The Right Will Right Itself.
When overcome with anxious fears
And moved with passion str ng,
Because the right seems losing ground
And everything goes wrong
How oft does admoaition say:
sPut trouble on the shelf;
Truth will outlive the liars' day,
And right will right ITSELF"
By ali the triumpbs of the past,
BY all the victories won,
The good achieved, the progress made
Each day, from sun to sun;
In spite of artful ways employed
By perfdy or pelf-
There's one thing we can rest assured
The right will right itself.
Unshaken in our faith and zeal
IT'S ours to do and dare,
TO hud the place we best can fill,
And serve our Maker there;
For only he is brave who thus
. Puts trouble on the shelf,
And trusts in God, for by His aid
The right will right itself.

FINEST ART EXHIBIT
IN THE NORTHWEST

Do you know that Spokane pos
sesses the finest art exhibit in the
northwest? Well. it's SO, and If
you haven't seen it you can get
quite liberal education in art by
taking look at the exhibit.
This cnest art collection in the
northwest has just been installed
at the Crescent department store.
Travelling men know, and they
vouch for the fact that nothing so
good can be shown at Seattle. Ia
coma or Portland. Soft, glowing
electric lamps, and actually soft,
yielding rugs make a fine setting
for the exhibit. Splendid paintings,
rare china, rare sculpture-every-
thing that delights the eyes and
sense is there.
The bright particular star is a
painting of raspberries. Just a
bunch of raspberries. but, oh! what
raspberries they are! You have an
irresistible longing to reach for a
spoon and lift the berries to your
watering mouth. The painting is
perfect.
