Begin the Day With God

This is the way to do a good
days work: Begin it with God;
do all in the name of the Lord
Jesus and for the glory of God;
count nothing common or un-
clean in itself-it can be so only
when the motive of your life is
low. Be not content with eye
service. but as servants of God,
do everything from the heart
and for His "Well done" Ask
him to klndle and maintain IN
your heart the loftiest motives,
and be as men which watch for
the coming of the master Of the
house-F. B Meyer.

A Praying Church

A prosperous church is a
church which prays. 1t IS writ
ten, "My house shall be called
house of prayer" We must nev-
er lose faith in prayer. We must
never abandon prayer. We must
never lose the spirit of prayer.
A church can get on for a con-
siderable time without singing
and can go on indefinitely with
indifferent singing. A church
may do we'll with poor preach
ing, and even without preaching
OF any kind. But church with
out prayer is no church at all.
We might as well expect a man
to live without breathing as to
expect a church to live without
praying. Pray for the minister.
Pray for the sick and afflicted.
Pray for the children. Pray for
the lost. Pray for the commun-
ity. Pray for one another. Pray
We the Lord of the harvest that
He may send forth laborers into
His harvest. Pray without ceas'
ing. Pray everywhere Let the
church be characterized by pray
er, filled with the atmosphere of
prayer, and crowded with the
trophies Of prayer.

A Warning

A man who would not take his
home paper sent his little boy TO
borrow the copy taken by a
neighbor. In his haste the boy
ran over a hive OF bees and in ten
minutes he looked like warty
squash. His cries reached his
father. who ran to his assistance,
failing to note a barb wire fence,
which he ran into breaking it
down, cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy, and running a
S. pair Of pants. The COW took
advantage of the gap in the fence
and got into the corn. Hearing
the racket, his wife ran out, up
setting a 4.gallon churn of rich
cream into a basket of kittens
and drowned them. In her haste
she lost $l7 set of teeth. The
baby, left alone. crawled through
the cream into the parlor and
ruined a brand new $40 carpet

According to reports emenat-

ers certificates held in every
county in the state. 589 white ap-
plicants passed the required tests,
while 919 failed. Of the negro
applicants. 3l5 passed and 522
failed. These figures show that
81 per cent of the white appli-
cants could not meet the test,
while the percentage of negro
applicants who failed was 81 per
cent, only one per cent more,
both standing the same test.
Such circumstance is not pleas
ant to contemplate and its occur

stimulate far greater interest ia
the education of the white youth
in the state; that such a record
may not continue to stand.

when their managers declared
war against the owners and op-
orators of the mines. They will
never get that back. That is i'm
possible. The campaign manag.
ers or executive committees, or
whaieyer they may be called. did
not lose any thing, probably by
the strike. Their salaries or tees
doubtless ran along as if nothing
was happening, and the innocen,
public has paid or will have to
pay $4O0.000,OOO for being per.
mltted to live in this land of op-
