A We Cordially Invite You 2 to call and examine our vast assortment of GOOD CLOTHING FOR MEN AND BOYS. we must be men and women of convictions. Convictions that are in harmony with the teachings of Christ. The Doctors illustrations were apt and withal a very instructive address. Prior to the lecture.

Pastor Thomas gave a Scriptural lesson from John xvi, anid at the close Miss Daisy Starr sang in a pleasing manner, Dream of Bethlehem, by Rodney. This was the third lecture in the culture course for the winter. ing bush, and It was Christ of whom Mpses spoke, and whom he unpretentiously served. Gentleness. This was shown in Moses demeanor, unselfishness, and teachableness.

Anybody could approach him. This fact gave his father-in-law alarm lest the leaders health should at once be broken. A superintendent once asked his Sunday school this question: Chil-dren, who are the meek? A boy replied: i who give soft answers to rough Questions. Moses was skilled in that Vonderful art. vIt is said that Dionysius, the tyrant, Tout of envy, punished Philoxenius be- cause he could sing; and Plato, the phi- losopher, because he could debate better than himself.

Moses was disinterested. He had the spirit of Pericles, who, having been abused by a. man until it was dark, called a servant, and said, bring lamp and attend this man home. We are reminded of the words of Jesus is we study Moses. Take my yoke lipon you and learn of me, for I am peek and lowly in heart and ye shall Ind rest unto your souls, for my yoke easy and my burden is light.

Moses knowledge ever increased, so that when fie came to the end of life, his natural force was not abated. His information on each subject was definite and extensive. He was the authority of his day on anything he undertook. It requires this disposition of meekness to make a good scholar and great lawgiver. The jurist must be gentle.

Indeed, constructive ability is the companion of gentleness. It is so even with military leaders. Earthly power is likest Gods when mercy seasons justice. Law-breakers are fierce; law-makers are quiet. Ignorance is weak; wisdom is.

meek. When Moses comes to judgment, justice and gentleness embrace each other. Courage and force you will not fail to find in a Moses of meekness. Patient endurance of injury. Every leaf in the history of Moses life is full of this trait of character.

And at the last, he submitted gracefully to the disappointment of not entering the land of promise himself, and was content that this people were assured of an entrance finto that land that flowed with milk and i honey. Le us set our minds on that land of wh we sing: There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. May we one day, standing on Pisgahs lofty height, view our home and take our flight! The Jewish historian says of the death of Moses: He withdrew among the tears of the people, the women beating their breasts, and the children giving way to uncontrollable wailing. At a certain point in his ascent he made(a sign to the weeping multitude to advance no further, taking with him the elders, and then as he was embracing Eleazer and Joshua, and still speaking to them, a cloud suddenly stood over him, and he vanished in a deep valley. And a voice answered, such a prophet never was before, and the earth lamented, I have lost the holy one.

And Israel mourned, we have lost the shepherd. And the angels sang, he is come in peace to the arms of God. time in society she would be forgotten soon after her flashes in the circle. She did not flash; her light was a stead one and so it will ever burn. Plants do not grow by the lightning flash, but by the drawn-out light of the lingering day.

God will have a rich reward for such workers. Another character has left our Sunday school, this one never to return. He was ripe in the kingdom. He had no need of attending Sunday school to learn the way of salvation. He learned that years ago.

Why was he always there? Perhaps he came to cheer the Superintendent; if he did, his attendance was worth the effort. Perhaps he came to encourge the young; if he did, they will be inspired to continue for years in the school. Perhaps he came to hear the sweet strains of music, and hear the blessed gospel truth; if he did, he must have been paid, for he became accustomed with that which he now hears in seraphic choruses and angelic voices. There is a place in the Sunday school for gray hairs, as much as there is room for them in heaven. PRIMARY NOTES.

Miss Charlotte Ebbage has gone to her old home in Illinois. She will be greatly missed in the primary department, not having been absent once from her class in two years. A broken limb is reported to the Superintendent, the case of a little boy, five years old, Who has been very much pleased with his remembrance from the department. In the days when flowers are not plenty, take a nice apple or orange to the sick. They can at least look at them.

There will be two classes to graduate from the primary room this year and enter the intermediate; also two classes to be promoted from the little ones, some having reached their sixth year. Where are the teachers for them? MRS. EUGENE SMITH. CROSBY BROS, DRY GOODS, TOPEKA, KAS. E.

His class is being taught by Pearl Van Nice. Mr. Scott has taken Mr. Copleys class, and the young men are pleased to have a good and regular teacher again. Mrs.

C. A. Conroe has been canvassing the city to secure scholars. Mrs. Conroe is particularly adapted to the work.

Mrs. John Smith has been obliged to discontinue her work as teacher on account of poor health. Mrs. W. G.

Frazeur has taken her class. Master James Campbell entertained the graduating classes from the primary department, taught by Mrs. E. Campbell and Mrs. W.

E. Ireland. Mrs. Manning is a very acceptable teacher in the primary department. Her experience as kindergarten teacher makes her work valuable.

A copy of Peloubets Select Notes for 1899 should be in the hands of every teacher in our school. It is the best commentary on the Internationl lessons published. The high character of Miss Jennie Starrs work with Sunday school classes is so well known that she is considered a valuable addition to the primary department. The brass instrumental trio, consisting of J. H.

Roehrer, J. A. Davis and Ray Carl, has been much appreciated. Mr. R.

Ralston also helped to make the Sunday school music an attractive feature. In the gallery away back in the corner-may be found regularly about ten small boys, and a teacher as regular and interesting but somewhat larger. Who is she? Our school needs more such to lead the boys. We wish we had the names of all our new scholars. How pleasant to see the new faces.

Some of the new ones are: Fannie Tweedell, Claude Henry, Hallie Whitlock, Mrs. Crawford, Glen Neal, J. L. Miller, G. A.

Henry, and Pearl Shaffer. The Christmas committees consist of Mr. Scott, Mrs. Philips, Mr. J.

Many were the regrets expressed that it should seem necessary for one who would be so constantly missed to quit the circle of loving friends endeared by the companionship of years. Miss Stone has been secretary of Mrs.

Shaws Bible class for eleven years and has proved such an earnest worker and conscientious Bible student that both leader and class will long miss her genial, unselfish ministry. After a social hour, Dr. Thomas, on behalf of the class, presented her with two volumes of Myths and Legends of Our Own Country, also a souvenir through which each member of the class hope to live in her thoughts during the coming year. Until recently an earnest, patient, young lady has been a teacher in our Sunday school. We have many such workers.

But this one who could be seen every Sunday morning directing her steps toward the church is of especial interest. Thus she has done for years. She made no pretense at show, but silently molded those whom she met into Christian character. Society will not miss her, but the boys and girls who have been under her influence will feel their loss, and many a child who has been made stronger by her exemplary life will not cease to revere her name. They will-nbt forget her; for she has made them stronger.

On the evening of November 30, Miss Mary Cook, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Cook, and Mr.

Len Fortune were quietly married by Pastor Thomas at the home of the brides parents. The secret of the wedding had been whispered about among the friends of both the bride and groom, and, after the ceremony, about forty filed in to extend congratulations, bringing with them a handsome gift.
