This passage 1ms fastened itself «iii the writer’s mind lately, and is a grand passage in our estimation, and this question present* Itself. Why are we (•omniauded to “Search the Scriptures!” The good Ikk)Icsays, “In them ye think ye have eternal life and they are they which testify of me.” lint why is it neeessary that we should search the Scriptures! It must la* to learn Hod's will concerning His people; hut why the necessity of learning, if one is not inclined to do what is commanded to lie done! We 11ml by searching the scrip tures that the Lord says, “What soever thy hand tindeth to do, do it with thy might.” Yet we find a great many people who call themselves followers of Christ, surrounded with every comfort of life, and even live in luxury, with the poverty stricken, distressed, sniveling, widows and orphans— all needing sympathy and help within a stone’s throw, almost; yet they don’t seem to know anything about it, and when they have learned aljout it, the tirst question is. what church do they lielong tot Do they attend church, or would they if they could! The Lord says “Thou shalt open wide thine hand unto the poor anil needy” (regard less of denomination). For “pure religion and undeliled before Uod the Father is this; to visit the fa therless and the widows in their nflliction and to keep himself un spotted from the world.” Are we doing w ith our might what our hands find to do! Perhaps so, for a great many people don’t want to find very much to do. Hut in searching the scriptures we find these words: “Present your Isjdies a living sacrifice, which is your reasonable service.” It is a very easy matter to quote this scripture and suy we ought to do this, that and the other. Hut do we “I)o with our might what our hands find to do,” and follow the advice we give to others. Wo hear peo ple some times talk of stumbling along through this life, but there is no need of stumbling through this world; but,on the other hand, if we are doing all the good we can, there is no cause for stumb ling. “lie that walketh in the day stumhleth not, but if he wulk in the night he stumhleth.” The greatest trouble with the outside world is that they are stumbling over church members who don’t Ibid enough good things to do, und have to do evil things. We have several examples of peo ple in the Kihle who did with their might what their hands found to do. Take for instance, tiie throe Hebrew children, who were cast into the Urey furnace; Daniel, who was thrown in the den of lions; Jeremiah, who was put in the dungeon, and a great many other old testament charac ters. Then the widow who threw her last two mites into the treas ury; the woman who broke the alnhaslcr box of ointment and poured it on the Saviour’s head, BIG SALE ON AT J. W. Stripling & Son.

J. w. STRIPLING ’Phone 98. & SON ami Stephen who suffered himself to ne stoned for the cause of Christ. Paul did what he could when he presented his body a living sacri fice, and fought the good fight of faith; ami the great apostle John, who was always fdled with the spirit of Christ, did what he could when he was banished on the Isle of Patinos, for the word of Hod and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. .Spirit filled people are the hand iest people in the world; (in fact the)’ are the only people that Hod can use to any advantage). They are always ready to take part in any good work, and ready to give an answer when asked a reason of their hope in f'hrist. They can talk and pray when an opportun ity presents itself. They come into the presence of the Lord with singing, making melody in their hearts to the Lord. They can sing whether they haveany knowl edge of the science of music or not; because they “Sing forth the honor of His name.” VVe learn by searching the scriptures that all will be judged according to their works. “Every man’s work shall lie made manifest; because it shall lie revealed by fire.” last us la* more earnest in searching the scriptures, ami find what Hod’s will is concerning us, and do with our might what our hands find to do.

The modern cutaway sprang from the body tilting JustuucorjM of the French us known to the courtiers of Louis XIV, and Louis XV., and the gar ment was lu turu probably evolved from the frock or tunic worn In the fourteenth century. The ttrst trace of a cutaway In any thing like Its present form, says the Hurtorlnl Art Journal, Is seen in old prints of French military uniforms, onrly lu the eighteenth century. For civilian use It was worn in England nlniut 1785 ns a riding eout, the tails being very long. In 1803 It was adopt ed lu France for walking ns well us for riding and was then In shape and cut much nearer the modern eutnwa.v than any of its predecessors, though It was usually double breasted, Iflarly lu tint nineteenth century the cutaway had eight or nine buttons, only tbi> fourth, fifth and sixth being used. This admitted of the weurei showing fils neckcloth, fancy waist eout and frilled shirt to the best ad vantage. Not till 1840 or thereabout did the cutaway become almost identi cal with the modem garment and since then the changes lu Its shape have boon comparatively slight. In 1841 the word "cutaway” became a fixture In the language. The old colonial uniform worn by Washington, with Us flaps buttoned back; the coat worn by Nelson nt the battles of St. Vincent, the Nile and Trafalgar, ntul the eout worn liy Napo leon when on his way to St. Helton were all In a general way similar to the cutaway frock. The conventional dress coat of our time Is n refined younger brother, so to speak, of the cutaway frock, and for it we are Indebted to tlie French, who on the other lutn l credit the Bus llsh with original ng (he cant th at 1ms evolved Into our double breasted frock The coal lust named was Introduced Into France by Montesquieu in the year 1750.

In some continental coun tries the dress coat Is “proper form” for wear at court or other Important formal assemblages held In the day time. The sack coat probably dates front the "Macaronies,” who Introduced It into England lu 1772, though a gar ment somewhat similar was worn by the Roundheads of Cromwell's day. nail Rands Did It. A farmer lad, so we'vo been told. With a team of horses strong Drove down the road with a heavy load. While staging his merry song. „ Rut Ilia mirth In song was not so long. For tils horses gave a leap: As he ran amuck In the mud he stuck Clear up to hts axles deep. had roads did it. And a wheelman gay went out one day For a Joyful, merry spin. With the weather bright hts heart w& light As he left the country Inn. But he went not far when he felt a Jar Which started hts troubles and cares. He was laid up 111. while the doctor's bill Came tn with the one for repairs. BAD ROADS DID IT In an automobile of wood and steel A millionaire prim and neat Went out for a ride by the river’s side In a style that was hard to beat. But. alas, he found that the broken ground And the ruts and the holes so great Had smashed a wheel of hts automobile. What he said we cannot relate. BAD ROADS DID IT But we’re glad to say there shines a ray Of hope that will right this wrong. When in every' stats they will legislate To help the good roads along The man with hts wheel or automobll* Will never again get the blues.
