Three Gains Of Being strong.

Courage. Nobody who has gone to
Christ for strength ever loses heart.
For He says. my Lord believed in
men and their salvation; why should
not I? My Lord did not despair Of
the world; why should /? My Lord
never ran away from duty because it
might be unpleasant, or hard, or dam
gerous; will stand with my Lord"
Consistency. 1t is easy to look like
a Christian, in one particular or an
other but somewhere the surface
Christian will betray himself. The
true disciple is fallible enough, but
he is saved from shame by his sin
certify. The imitation disciple drops
his disguise when he least suspects
that the mask is off
Success. The Christ-strengthened
man is on the winning side. No
weapon can prosper against him. He
has the secret of conquest. He has a
first lien on the future He inspires
others. His unconquerable persist
ence keeps the Church and all good
movements going forward. Once and
again he may be beaten back for
moment, but he and his kind are the
saving element that will yet bring
the world to God. They are Gods
best pledge to humanity that the
forces of evil are surely going down
to defeat.

A Hoodoo Locomotive.

A locomotive with probably the
bloodiest record in the world cut up
capers in the local yards here tonight,
was stripped of two side rods and a
large piece was broken out Of the
drive wheel when it jumped the track
while pulling local freight out of
the yards.
The engine is Rio Grande No. 506.
The hoodoo which goes with this en-
CINE is so strong that no experienced
engineer can be induced to sit in it's
cab. The number was recently
changed from 512 to SOC, but the en-
ployes learned this and fight shy of

The engine has pulled trains which
have been in accidents in which many
more than 100 persons have been
killed. Grand Junction Correspond
