f Sunday School Lesson for Dec.31,1905
I Specially Prepared for This Paper.
GOLDEN TEXT.—“Thou crownest the
year with thy goodness.”—Psalm 65:11.
THE REVIEW.—To review the les-
sons In the truest sense Is not to go
over all the lessons separately, one
after the other, to repeat titles and
golden texts in order, to select certain
truths which have been learned, and
this is especially true on the lessons
of the past quarter. “Reviewing,” says
xaith.
Faith is the color-bearer in the arm}
of the Lord.—United Presbyterian.
Where faith goes out soul famine
comes in.
The faith that believes in things tin
seen soon sees the things unknown.
The strength of a man’s faith is li
inverse proportion to its singularity.
The least prayer that reaches God’s
throne shakes His footstool.—Ram’s
Horn.
“I would rather walk in the dart
with God than go alone in the light; 1
would rather walk with Him by faitt
than walk alone by sight.”

the lessons, to study its meaning, to
learn to what it is leading, and to
see how each event, each character,
bears upon this end, to help or to hin-
der. We need to see God in the his-
tory and to learn the lessons the wholt
period teaches.
THE PERIOD.—The time of the les
sons of the quarter covers over 10(
years, from about 538 to 430 B. C. It

how the body caine to be buried in
such a spot. Two or three small
outtons, a small piece of leather that
nay have been part of a shoe sole,
vnd a few small scraps of iron or
iteel, were all that could be found
'except the skeleton. The bones
were brought to town where Drs.
Lindley, Ingels and Smith agreed
that the bones were those of a man
of middle age and medium, height,
and that they were not those of an
Indian. Whether it was that of
some hunter who had become lost
and after wandering around until
exhausted, had crawled between the
rocks to seek protection from the
cold and had perished, or a murder
had in years gone by been commit-
ted and the body hidden among the
rocks, will probably never be known,
but at any rate they remain as a
mute reminder of a tragedy enacted
while “The Strip” was the home of
the coyote and the long horned
Texas steer, of a time when oniy
cowboys, hunters and outlaws
roamed through the hills and valleys
of a wild1 and desolate plain.

will differ as to what the central teach the new lodge:
ings are, but the following, offered ai
suggestions, are outlined by Dr. Tor-
rey:
Lesson I. The folly of lifting one’!
self up against the Lord of Heaven
and not glorifying Him in whose hand
our breath ’is, and whose are all oui
ways.
Lesson II. God Is able to deliver tht
one who serves Him continually fron
every’ danger, no matter hoW appall-
ing.
Lesson III. The certainty of every
word of God.
Lesson IV. The duty of building foi
Jehovah and of separation from th«
world.
Lesson V. Victory is of Jehovah, not
by might, not by power, but by the
Spirit of Jehovah.
Lesson VI. Anyone in a position ol
influence and power is put there, not
.for themselves, but to use their power
and influence for the interests of God
and His people.
Lesson VII. The hand of God is upon
all that seek Him for good, and He
will deliver his trusting servants froir fully to organize
the hand of the enemy, and from such 1 ■ "
as lie in wait by the way.
Lesson VIII. The character of true
prayer begins with adoring contempla
tion of God, is persistent, is accompan-
ied by confession of sin, is built upon
God’s Word of promise, appeals to the
relation of God to His people, Is in-
tensely earnest.
'Lesson IX. Thi gs which are per-
fectly lawful, still ought not to be 1 *
done if others will be injured thereby, that this lodge will soon be one
Lesson X. The one who works foi...... ‘ ’ ' ' J
God should trust in God, but at the
same time should exercise all prudence
in watching against enemies.
Lesson XI. The Word’of God hae
power to convince of sin and to brlifg
abounding joy.
Lesson XII. Jehovah is coming tc
refine and purify His people and to ex-
ecute judgment upon sinners.
Lesson XIII. Jesus Christ Is a won
iderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Ever
Tasting Father, Prince of Peace, and* oi
the increase of His government and ol
peace there shall be no end.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION.—Th«
review of these lessons coming as II
does on the last day of the old yeai
suggests the need of reviewing our past
•lives and the events of the past year
As the rower looks backward that h«
may go forward, so we look at our pasl
,in order to make a better future. W<
look at our failures that we may learr
ithe lesson they teach, and then forget
ithem as God forgives and blots out
forever. We look at what we hav«
gained, in order that we may stand
upon that past and do better. B
It is well therefore to see
1. What lessons we can learn foi
ourselves from the history we hav«
been studying.
2. What the history has to teach oui
nation.
3. We can take courage from th«

everybody went away satisfied.
Those who did not get a prize

A GRUESOME FIND.
Wednesday afternoon, Edward
Kusch, son of Samuel Kusch, and
his cousin, F. W. Kusch, of Olney,
Kansas, came to this office and re-
ported that while out hunting that
morning, they had discovered
human skeleton, about six miles
west of town. Thursday morning
A. J. McEwen, Squire Lancaster
and our reporter went out to Mr.
Kusch’s place and were piloted to
the scene of the discovery by the
boys and Henry Kusch. On a high
point of a steep, stony hill on the
Silas Stiles farm a large boulder
had, years ago, become detached
from the main ledgeand had slipped
out two or three feet, leaving a crev-
ice and a cavity under the edge of
the boulder. Into this cavity the
dogs had chased a rabbit, and it
was while endeavoring to dig him
out that the skeleton was found.
The boys had covered the bones
with earth before coming to town to

pie and such hard times, real and Ithe spot we proceeded to unearth
the bones. The skull, most of the
leg and arm bones, one shoulder
blade and quite a number of decayed
pieces of bone were found. Nothing
was discovered, however, thatcould

great progress was made of which wi
are now reaping some of the results.
