law had been given by which man
could be saved then Jesus would never
need have died. All who died before
the coming of Christ had to believe
on the Christ who was to come, in or
der to be saved.
eff you sink down to He'll and are
lost forever and forever it is not be-
cause He was not able to save you if
you had come to him.
God does not wish the destruction
of the sinner. He desires every one
to come to him and be saved. The
door of his mercy has never been
closed against you since you turned
your back upon Him.
Men do not come to Christ for
life because often of ignorance con-
corning Jesus Christ and the mean
ing of His sacrifice.
Many do not have sense of their
need of Christ. The most difficult per-
son to bring to Christ is the self sat
isfied respectable, moral person. They
do not realize their need, but they are
lost without Christ.
God requires you to openly con-
fess Him as your Savior. He will not
let you dictate terms to him. The big
gest fool in this world is the man who
thinks he can fool God Almighty. You
can't do it. Unless you are ready to
surrender and open your heart to Him
he cannot enter.

own defense this afternoon. Calvin
said that she sent the kilograms col
lect. He admitted that he telegraphed
a reply each time, but said he prepaid
them. This made total of 252 tele-
grams between the pair in approx
mately 255 days. Mr.. Irving's tele-
grams invariably requested money,
said Calvin.
In addition to the kilograms Calvin
admitted that bushel of letters had
passed between them during the same
period. He explained his ability to
stand such terrific Geographic and
postal bombardment by saying that
during the time in question he loved
Mrs. Irving.
Calvin left the stand at 4 o'clock
this afternoon after long cross-ex-
animation by Deputy Prosecutor A. o.
Burmeister, in which Burmeister and
Frank H. Kelley, attorney for the de-
Tense, clashed continually. Kelley en-
tered 1876 objections in the course of
two and onehalf hours and Burmeister

Your will is supreme. Christ could
turn water into wine, multiply the
loaves and fishes, and speak the word
that Gained the sea because there was
no will to oppose him, but when he
stands before a human soul he can
only say, Wilt thou be made clean? :"
Sinners are lost not by reason Of
anything in Jesus, not because He is
not able to save, not because He is not
willing to save them, but because of
something in themselves, they will not
come to Him for salvation"
THE greater the light you have, the
greater your guilt in rejecting Jesus
Christ, and the greater will be your
punishment in the world to come"

am shouting happy, and shall praise
God forever for, it is the fact that He
did not permit me to die in my sins"

never will; God will never compel you
to be a Christian"

Up until ten days before Christmas
the business had been the poorest of
any holiday business the store had ev
Ner had, said Mr. Swami.
He tried a quarter-page advertise
ment in the Daily Star-Mirror
The result was immediate, and con-
vincing:
People came into my store that
never had been there before, and my
regular customers bought things they
had never purchased before. He
said:

pensive delicacies for Christmas.

Moscow merchants, who advertised
in the Daily Star Mirror, have no COM
plant to make of their holiday bust
ness. AS the proverb has it, "Mer-
chants who advertise always have
money to pay their bills"
Charles Swami of the Swami Groc
cry, had an experience which firmly
convinced him of the value of Daily
Star-Mirror advertisements.
The Swami Grocery last year did the
biggest holiday business in it's his
tory.

That was one reason 1 advertised.
"But before Christmas had not only
sold out the special lines I was afraid
of, but I had to telegraph for more.
They were shipped in by express, and

MANY of these things were new to
Moscow. There was no demand for
them; but the Daily StarMirror adj
vertising created demand"

THE STORY OF MARY MELVIN.

All the lessons in courage and determination are
not confined to books Out of the current of daily
events there comes impressive example which
has Baltimore as its setting. Among the honor grad
yates of historic Goucher College is a young girl
who has been blind since she was six years of age
The story of her triumph over all obstacles and the
laurels she has in competition with companions
possessing the natural advantage Of sight is worthy
of than passing notice Surely there should
be no such word fail in the lexicon of normal hu-
manity in face of the splendid achievement of Mary
Melvin.
1t is no great wonder that every member of the
faculty, save one, should have advised her against
attempting collegiate course, in view of the heavy
handicap under which she abored With less optimism
and high purpose she must have been left to the
munion of her own dark thoughts Certainly the
fields of intellectual beauty and grandeur which are
nourshed by the masters in literature, science, and
art would have unfoded before her active but
imprisoned mind When she stood forth as the choice
of her class in the capacity of Ivy Orator, and re-
ceived the other honors won by merit alone, the
qualification experienced by the faculty was as great
as their misgvings had been when she began her
course.
Although she had received Ter elementary edu-
cation at the Maryland School for the Blind, and had
the assistance of her mother during her freshman
year at college, she made but little use of the de-
vices usually employed by the blind during the re-
mander of her college course. The kindness of her
classmates, who studied their lessons aloud in her
presence, practically the only assistance she re-
ceived. A vigorous memory and the faculty grasp
ing the essential things carried her rapidly forward
A sane mind tenanted sound body, for she exceed
in athletics, and to the academic curriculum she
added vocal and instrumental music.
Her future career will be watched with interest,
but even if she accomplishes no more than she has
already achieved her example will be an inspiration

QUITE A DIFFERENCE.

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

Mr.. Barnes, Republican State chairman Of New
York, is fearful Of the consequences to the Const-
tuition and all popular forms of government in event
Roosevelt is nominated. In a statement given to the
public Mr. Barnes opines:
His candidacy represents as he himself has de-
United States the sweeping away Of its safeguards of
individual liberty and the establishment in its stead Of
despotsm which, for his purposes, he is now pleased
to call the rule of the people"
Once before very distinguished citizens Of New
York State feared for the country in event Of the
nomination of certain man of the people as the
Republican candidate for President Going back
into history we observe that Horace Greeley and
Whiteaw Reid were much exercised over the pos
sibility Of Lncons second nomination, in 1864.
Ida Tarbell in her history Of Lincoln makes the
following summary:
1t declared that Lincoln had violated constitu-
tona rights, personal liberty the liberty of the press
the rights of asylumhat in short he had been guilty
OF all the abuses Of a military dictator.
Mr.. Barnes criticism of Roosevelt is almost
paraphrase of Miss Tarbells SENTENCED
All the politicians" were against Lincoln, party
leaders in both branches of Congress were so bitter
in their antagonism to him that Senator Cuom, not
yet introduced to public life in Washington, became
alarmed during of his visits at Washington and
sought an audience with Lincoln to apprse him Of
the tremendous opposition there was to him within
his own party and among his own associates.
But Lincoln knew, and the people knew so
what booted it what the politicians plotted and whs-
pered?
The present political conditions parallel those of
Lincoln's day in many ways, but in no way do they
more closely resemble the situation then than in
the efforts of such men as Barnes, of New York,
to make it appear that the man in whom the people
have faith, and who is fighting for popular govern
ment, is an enemy of the country and would estab-
lish, if renomnated and elected, despotism. Men
with ambitions to be dictator do not erect their struc-
ture upon popular votes.
