He will see that every reason that
justified our fathers in making this
great plea for Christian union, still
pleads with us to send it far and wide
over t his great land; that every reason
that justified us in becoming strong in
. Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Kentucky,
Tennessee. Missouri and Iowa, also
urges us to become strong in every
part of the I nitcd States every rea-
son that justifies our separate exist-
ence as a religious people, pleads for
'our Home Mission work.
Our live preacher will see that
we have neglected this Home Mission
work and that it is one of tlie two
wings of the growth of our brother-
hood and should be equally supported.

the widow of a I'nion soldier who may
formerly have lost her pension by rea-
son of her marrying again, but whose
last husband may have died and her
children be in want can now be put
back on the pension list, upon applica-
tion through the usal channels, "This
will effect many people throughout the
country," said Major Bungart, "and is
a most merciful provisian. At best

DANGEROUS LOSS.
The receipts for Foreign Missions
for the week ending March 14. as com-
pared with tiie same time in liMKi
shows the following loss:
Number of contrbuting churches
in 1900, 435: amounts. I13,087>62 Con-
tributing churches in 1W)1. 313:
amounts, 410,275.44. Loss in contrib-
uting churches, 122: in amoont, #2,812.-

There has been a loss in the receipts
every day but one since the March of-
fering. We are distressed. Will the
churches drop back this tlie first year
of the new century 'i Shall we fail to
reacli the 8200,000 V Will not every
church with a spark of interest rally
at once V We have time yet to change
the defeat into victory, but the time
is very short.

Church Extension were as follows:
From churches, $24.42: individuals,
$248.35; twenty per cent, of American
Day receipts, $458.78. Total, $731.55.
This is a loss in comparison with the
receipts of February, 1900. of $947.t>2.
However, last year we had a gift of
$1,000 in February, and no large gifts
this year in the same month.

Board of Church Extension granted
the following loans: Lamont, O. T.,
$400: Red ford, la., $1,000: Fife Lake1

plea of our people.
Our live preachers have been telling
us that on an average every five dol-
lars put into our Home Mission Board
will bring a soul to Christ. Brethren,
in the sight of Calvary, what is the
value of a soul—your soul or mine, or
any soul for whom Christ die.1 'i
Our live preachers have told us that
our Home Board organized sixty-three
new churches hist year, more than a
new church each week; that, it is help-
ing thirty-three State Boards do their j
work, including the State Boards of
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas. In-;
dian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas and
New Mexico; that our work was never
so prosperous, and that we never had
so many missionaries at work as today.
Our live preacher will makethe first

Select the songs with care, plan to have
a few brethren start promptly the of-

morning have an oppumity at the eve-
ning services to participate in the offer-

feel that it has been a day of up lift in
the church and the inspiration of such
a day will linger throughout the whole
year.
Conohkhsman Eddy of Minnesota
claims to be the homelist man in the
house, but fears that the championship
is about to be wrested from him by
Marshall of North Dakota. "I have

senting vote," says Eddy, "but I fear
that the honor will be ruthlessly

How You Spend Your Life.
Did you ever stop to enquire how
you actually occupy the hours of your
life? Supposing you arc an average
business man, how will your account
on the book of time appear when it is
balanced at the end of three score and
ten years? The largest item will be
sleep, which has consumed twenty-five
years—a little more than one-third of
your life. It counted rapidly during
childhood, less rapidly in age, and was
at a minimum during the working j
days of middle life. Those working
days will count twenty-one years, and
in the course of them you will read for
two years and write for a year and
seven months. The next item will be
that of pleasure, which will have con-
sumed nine years, and your walking
will have consumed six and one-half
years more. Then your eating ac-
counts will show that you have sat at
the table, stood at lunch counters or
cuddled elsewhere for five years. You
will also have a dressing account of
three and one-half years, which will
have been devoted to buttoning and
unbuttoning—remember it -is a man
who is being considered. In this
dressing account vou will find eight
months charged to bathing account
and seven months to shaving.- New

Langston University was granted a

After the first of this month the

His Point of View.
"Is marriage a failure V I should
say not!" remarked an Oregon farmer.
"Why, there's Lucindy, gits up in the
morn in', milks six cows, gits break-
fast, starts four children ter skewl,
looks arter the other three, feed# the
hens, likewise the hogs, likewise some
motherless lambs, skims twenty pans
of milk, washes the clothes, gits din-
ner, et cetcry, et ceterv. Think I
could hire anybody to do it for what
she gits ? Not much ! Marriage, sir,
is a success: a great success '."—Wo-
man's Journal.
There is one good point in Flynn's
bill for opening the Kiowa country,
which we failed to note; that is, at
the public auction of lots one person
will only be allowed to purchase only
one business and one residence lot.—
Arapahoe Bee.
Noah was one of the carlist adver-
tiser. He advertised lie would sail on
a certain date. Those who did not
believe in advertising, failed to get
tickets and were left in the wet during
the forty days rain without umbrellas
or bathing suits. The most of them
could not swim it is thought they took
to the trees and became monkeys.—
Ex.
Frantz Bros, are actively engaged in
preparations for the construction of a
pressed brick plant, to lie located a
short distance sout heast of town. They
are putting in the very latest and most
approved machinery, and will be able
to turn out a first class article. The
plant will cost about $10,000. Thus
does Filid grow, and one by one we se-
cure the necessary enterprises for mak-
ing a city.—Enid Eagle.
Getting up in a cold room to make a
fire is like getting up in life. If you
crawl timidly out of bed, goon tip-toe
to the stove, you allow the shivers to
get control of you before the kindling
starts, your fire will probably be a fail-
ure and you will half freeze to death
during the operation. But if you jump
up bravely, bustle around, and put on
your clothes, knock over a chair or two,
pitch in the stove-wood you will proii-
ably be too warm before it gets to
burning, and have toopen the window.
So in life. Attack it timidly and you
will fail, tirapple with it, hurry up
things, stir around, conquer fortune
and you will be a success.—Ex.
Evangelist Daniel Suit, whose hair
and whiskers never were shaven nor
shorn, visited the lower house lastSat-
turday. He very promptly said:
"These deluded brethren are estrayed
sheep of the flock of Israel." Suit is
an open air preacher, and claims to l»e
tiie only member of his, or the Naza-
rite church in this territory. He says
that one John Roe started the new but
rather lost religious in Wales forty
years ago. The main tenets of the
sect are, "Never get shaven or shorn,
and drink no strong drink, and that
makes you a Nazarite as they had them
in Sampson's and Christ's time."
