did not dare to release him. but he re-
moved the prophet to the court of the
prison.
The story of Zedekiah is the tragedy of
weak will. The king was man Of
many good impulses. Twice lie rescued
the prophet from danger. He saw that
he had bread TO eat when the supply was
very scant. But good impulses are not
enough: the impulses must be backed by
will power, one must stand up for what
God shows to be the right. Zedekiah was
not the man TO do this. He was afraid
of what his subordinates would say. lie
qIaiied before them even to the extent of
saying. The king is not he that can do
anything against you God would have
strengthened his will If he had asked to
have this done. Why should any one be
content TO remain weak when God can
make every one strong?
Zedekiah was not always unmindful of
God. There were days when he sought
God, asking for a revelation of his will.
There are many who never pray until
they are in the midst OF calamity. For
tunately, some of those who begin TO pray
at such a time. continue to pray when the
calamity is past Zedekiah was not one
Of these. He prayed for deliverance from
danger. but he speedily forgot the God
from whom deliverance came in answer TO
his prayer. And thus he made his doom
more certain God welcomes all who
come to Him in prayer. but He knows IL
the prayer is from the heart. BE not
deceived: God is not mocked.'
But there were SO many other days
when he despised God. Like Zedekiah. SO

Message for the Uncharitable.

Every one knows something OF what
il must have meant to jeremiah TO be
misunderstood. Many are misunderstood
when they are trying TO do their best.
But does the thought of their pain under
such circumstances make them careful
how they misjudge others? They need
always ito remember the message OF

great mountains; Thy Judgments are a
great deep" sang David (Psalms $500.
And IL is interesting to read the Book
OF Psalms and note how often David
refers to these two great wonders of
Gods creation and brings from them
comfort and inspiration. We feel the
same emotions today. and thoughtful men
will always feel them. for they appea, to
faith and are full of messages from God
Tho mountains are associated In Bible
history with many events. Moses died
on Mount Nebo, and Christ was transfig-
Hrcd on Mount Hermon. The ark rested
on Mount Aarat, and Jesus spoke His

there Is Mount Sinai where God gave
the law 10 Moses, and Mount Carmel
where Elijah met the prophets of Baal
and the Mount of Olives, where Christ
wept over Jerusalem. and. richest and
dearest of all, there Is Mount Calvary
where the dear Lord died.
What is there in a mountain which so
appeals to us? ! remember catching a
first glimpse of the Rocky mountains
after riding for days over the desolate
plains. and ! could scarcely keep back
the tears-the delicate coloring and the
sunset light made me think of Bunyan' s

water, stir vigorously and re-
move the soap. Saturate this de-
sign with the soap and water
mixture, then remove the excess
moisture by partially drying the
saturated design or by applying
sheet of blotting paper. Place
the material or fabric to which
the design is to be transferred on
a hard, fiat surface, and lay the

rial. Cover with a dry sheet of
thick paper or two folds of new
paper, and with the bowl OF

rather than toward you.
When rubbing YOU can see
il enough pressure is being ap-
piled by lifting the corner of the
design, to note how well il is

sign with damp fingers. To re-
move the design lines after the
article is completed, wash in warm
water with soap. The entire
process is very simple, and with a
little care you can easily make
perfect transfers to any kind OF
goods.

MISS WINNIE ESTES
GETS The PRIZE
POPULAR GIRL WINS PIANO Of
FERED BY MTCHELL-ASHLEY
HARDWARE COMPANY.

Piano awarded to Miss Winnie Els
ties.
She had a total of 421, O65 votes TO
her credit. This young lady finished
far ahead OF all competitors---her sue
cess is not due to luck or On account
of her being favored, but due alto
gether to good hard work on her part
She was one of the very first to enter
the contest, and went in with deter
mination to win the piano. She not
only purchased lrage amount of
goods herself, but influenced her
friends to make their purchases at
Mitchell-Ashley's store and give her
their certificates; she of course had
the assistance of her old friends and
made many new friends during the
contest, all of whom were glad to help
her along. This merely goes to show
that any body can win a piano on
this square deal" plan, and that ev-
erybody has the same chance.
The ones who did not win did not
probably work as faithfully as did
Miss Estes, and while some of the
contestants worked hard during the
latter part of the contest, they did
not use the opening weeks to as good
advantage. Never before was there
such an intense interest taken in a
popular voting contest in this city;
the business like plan under which
this contest was conducted gave ev-
cry contestant confidence that they
all would have the same chance to
win, and there was no hesitancy on
the part of any contestant to enter
the contest and try for the beautiful
piano.
Miss Estes is to be congratulated on
her rare good fortune, as the piano
awarded to her Is one of superior
value, and she feels that she has been
amply repaid for any eorts on her
part. The Mitchell-Ashley Hardware
Co. Is also to be congratulated on
the successful handling of the contest
throughout, and many thanks are due
Messrs. Otey Ladd, Henry Moore and
Joe Britain, for their painstaking eff.
forts and assistance in counting the
ballots during the contest.
