Hereford, Texas, Brand)
 The friends of Mrs. F. B. Fuller are grieved to learn of her death which occurred at Glen Rose, Texas, on the 23rd of July. She came to Hereford to teach in our public school. She was Miss Salome Moore then, a beau tiful and accomplished young lady Soon she met and loved and married Frank Fuller, and in a neat little cot tage they began their new life.
 MT. Fuller was one of the early settlers of this county. He was twice county clerk, then cashier of the First National Bank and later cashier of the Western National Bank. It was in the hope of restoring Mrs. Fuller's health that the move was made to El Centro, California. Here MT. Full Ter engaged again in the banking busi- ness, and here a new home was es- tablished, Two children blessed the marriage, little boy that came to
 
 the Texas home eight years ago, and a little girl to the California home four years ago.
 A short time since, Mrs. Fuller went back to her husbands old home in Glen Rose, Texas. It is beautiful place with hundreds of artesian wells, with running streams and flowers and trees, and here it was fondly hoped the frail body might be strengthened and the useful life preserved to bless her husband and children, but it was not to be,
 Mrs. Fuller was hopeful up to the last, but at the end realizing her condition she said simply Goodbye I'm dying and was gone.
 Mrs. Fuller will be remembered in Hereford by her former pupils, by the Methodist Church of which she was a member and by loving friends in all walks of life.

SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS.


We reduce life to the pettiness of
our daily living; we should exalt our
living to the grandeur of life.-Phil-
lips Brooks.
We are always abased by looking
wn upon our fellow-men, but ele-
waited by looking up to them.-Charles
Frederick Goss.
1t Is not the deed we do,
Though the deed be never so fair,
But the love that the dear Lord look
eth for,
Hidden with holy care
In the heart of the deed so far.
Margaret E. Sangster.

Up along the hard road there Is a
signboard, on which is written in
large, bright letters: "He that walk

Serve God by doing common actions
daily calling leaves you only cracks
and crevices of time fill these up with
holy service.-Spurgeon

From friend to friend the choicest gift
That ever love can give

an ear. The soul of music is music in

cultivate taste for the best.-Rev.
Dr. Arthur S. Phelps, Baptist, Los An
geles, Cal.
HUMILITY.
The humility of the gospel is not an
artificial depreciation of ourselves, but
proceeds from real estimate of our
own true place. We are not to make
ourselves like little children while all
the time we know that we are not lit
Tie children, but we are to recognize
ourselves to be little children because
all the time we are little children. 1t
is not the truth, but the perception of
the truth, that makes man really
humble. 1t is the sense of what is
higher and better than himself that
makes him understand how far he
falls short. 1t is the sense of a larger
purpose than anything which can be
met by his own wishes or his own will
that makes him unselfish and ready to
give way to others.-Rev. DR.. st. Clair
Hester, Episcopalian, Brooklyn.
MISSING NOTE IN RELIGION. r
We are told that the missing note
in religion today Is the spirit of joy.
1t is true. And only as we touch the
spirit Of Jesus, who for the joy that
was set before him endured the utmost
sacrifice, can we come into the inheri-
lance which he promised when he said.
1T is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." If joy has died down in our
hearts and we have grown up into life
callous to the claims of charity and
unresponsive to the sweetness of a
sacrif1cial service let US not wonder.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-06-04

edge which God would be pleased to
recognize. At first this might seem
peculiar to us. We might say to our
selves or to others. Why does not God
give it out freely to all? The reply of
the scriptures is that God is giving
his knowledge free now to a certain
class, ard that by and by he will give
it to ! II the families O. til. earth. This
essential knowledge is promised to
the faithful in the world. He that
knocketh it shall be opened. 1.-THE
secret of the Lord is with them that
reverence him, and he will show them
his covenant" blessed are your eyes,
for they see. and your ears, for they
hear Such as thus abide in cove
nant relationship with the Lord Jesus
are indeed taught of God in the school
of Christ and may truly grow in
grace and knowledge.
A distinction should be observed in
knowing about God, and knowing God
himself It Is not sufficient that we
should recognize God as the Almighty
Creator, for devils also believe that.
On the other hand to be intimately
acquainted with God means that we
must come into intimate fellowship
with him. and this means that we
must come unto the Father through
the Son, by faith. BY thus coming to
our heavenly Father by an acquaint-
ance with his word, and through an
appreciation OF MS BAoHiOoS WI A. PoSN,
present and future, we get view OF
the lengths and breadths and heights
and depths of Glove divine, all love ex-
ceiling" In proportion as we behold
the outline of the divine character,
we perceive our own deficiencies and
try the more to rid ourselves of them,
and at least manifest to the Lord that
our hearts are in harmony with the
principles of Righteousness.
The Sun of righteousness.
Very appropriately the scriptures
SNEAK of the present as a night time.
Thev tell us that now Darkness COW
ers the (civilized) earth, and gross
darkness the people (heathendom). :"
They assure us that now Gods people
need the lamp of divine revelation to
guide their footsteps until the day
dawns. They assure US, however, that
great Sun of righteousness
Christ. the Messiah, Prophet, Medi-
ator, King Of Glory.
Now Is the church excluded from
this work of shining upon the enlight-
enin1 of the world and scattering its
darkness. The Master gave US to un-
derstand that the church with himself
will constitute the Sun of Righteous
ness. which Will then arise with heal
ing in it's beams. Thus in the parable
of the Wheat and Tares. he pictures
its consummation, while he styles
saThe harvest-the end of the age"
His word respecting the separation of
the wheat from the tares is that the
wheat shall be gathered into his barn
I-changed from the earthly to the
heavenly nature, and he adds, Then
shall the righteous shine as the sun In
