SUNDAY MUSINGS.
If in all things else the good
is being changed into the better
surely religion is not to be ex
cepted. If we put on new gar
ments elsewhere we ought not
to wear the same old soiled
clothes when we go to church.
If we are continually learning
some of the startling secrets of
nature we must needs be discov
ering new secrets in the soul.
One cannot say of the religion
of the New Testament that it -is
fenced within certain narrow
limits that our fathers have loug
since entirely explored and
there is nothing more for the
children to know It seems to
us that there is nothing more
wonderful than the progress
which has been made in our
knowledge of spiritual matters
during' the last few generations.
There is no subject on which
inquiry is more acute or which
appeals more urgently to the
attention of mankind; Men and
women . everywhere in every
walk of life are acknowledging
the necessity for longer and
more implicit faith and are seek
ing for it. There is a prevail
ing conviction that 1898 will
bring forth some glorious dis:
coveries and we catch ourselves
straining our eyes trying to get a
glimpse of the future.
than this, we believeithere never
was a lime when the Bible was
read with more intense curiosity
than now. It is not being redd
as in past da s in the search of
but as a repository of
truths which have not
been hitherto understood. We
have regarded the Book as a
tricity chasing all doubts and
fears away and cause us to look
confidently to the future tor our
reward. The truth is we only
need to know as He is revealed
in all of His simplicity to catch
a glimpse of the real Christ,
then we will live in a stones
throw of heaven all the time.
Let's put our dogmas away and
learn that the gentle Jesus is
love and knows our infirmities
The progressive ladies of West -field,
Ind., issued a "Woman's
Edition" of the Westfield News,
bearing date of April o, 1896.
The paper is filled with matter
of interest to women, and we
notice the following from a cor
respondent, which the editors
printed, realizing that it treu.it
upon a matter of vital impor
tance to their sex: "The best
remedy for croup, colds and
bronchitis that I have been able
to find is Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. For family use it has
no equal. I gladly recommend
it." 5 and 50 cent bottles for
sale at Tayloe's Pharmacy.

And Gobbled-
A clear case of gobbling is go
iug on out orient-way. Germany
is the gobbler and poor old Chi
na is being gobbled. The Rus
sian bear is preparing to reach
6ut a paw and gobble a slice,
while the British lion, never back
ward in the gobb iug business,
also keeps an eye upon a juicy
portion of the ancieut empire.

HOW ABOUT THAT PASS?
As strange as it may seem,
nevertheless, if we are to believe
the papers, the new Railway
Commissioners returned the free
passes sent them. One question
before the house is, Did Gov.
Russell also return his? Echo
answers, if not, why not? In
this connection we cannot re
frain from asking Beaufort coun
ty's Statesman, Did you ever,
since elected to the last Legisla
ture, ride on a railway pass?
If so, was it a free pass, or did
you return some compensation?

Mint the days of dogmas is over
and that the Christ with pis
simple, yet great truths are com
ing into a clearer light. Old
things are passing Laway and all
things will become new. It is
true that .lesus wept, but what
a difference between His tears
and ours. We are even inclined
to think that He wept not so
much on the account of the death
of His friend as because the suf
ferers from this affliction took
so low and meagre a view of it.
What was death to Him? Only
a transfer from the valley to the
hilltop. When we stand where
He stood, and when -we see what
He saw our grief will not be
what it is now. Yes, and when
we make His outlook and up
look our own we shall open the
-soul's windows for God's strain
ing light to pour in. These pet
ty ambitions will dissipate them
selves, these pains and sorrows
will subside, selfishness will
slink away and the dear con
sciousness of God's presence and
love will make us happy and
contented under His providence.
Then the world will indeed have
the religion of love and the soul
that possesses it will find a safe

bling up your hard earned dol

they do the reverse and make
every purchaser feel that he is
just as rich in goods as he was
in dollars before making the pur

beginning we have built up a
large and successful business
second to none in Washington.
