A. in this town although in operation but a few weeks has shown that it has realized the problems with which it has to deal. Every one knew that the rank and file of the young boys in the town would be directly helped but there were a few who had doubts that the boys whose home environment was none of the best would be directly benefited. It is creditable that it can be said by the authorities in charge of the ' Y. M. C A. that no boy has been turn ed away because he had not the money to pay the dues. That this is true is due to the public spirit of two or three business men of this town who placed a small fund in the hands of the management of the association that it might help the boys who had not the money to join. Added to this js ibe fact that the subscriptions to the Y. M. C. A. may be paid on the installment plan. It would be unwise to let boys go into .the association without some effort on their own part for a reasdh which is self evident. The boy would not take the same Interest in the movement unless he paid some money into it But it is not true as has been said that the Y. M. C. A. is a club for rich men's sons, nor is it true that the Y. M. C. A. is a rescue mission. Secretary Goodwin announces that the work of the association is preventative rather than a cure. Thero is scarcely a better way of spending money for charitable purposes than to augment the small fund that has been started to enable the Y. M. C. A. to take care of all those who wish to avail themselves of the privileges. For no matter how prosperous 'the organization may be on othersldes it is none the less true that the minute the association fails to help those who want to belong it is a failure. WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY OF WAYNE COUNTY. fhe Palladium' carries in another column comments on the recent election in this county. Many of the esti mates of the situation are excusable errors. One of the most common of the errors was the statement that poli tics had a deciding influence on the returns. This is the principal view of tho Indianapolis Star. Those who have been on the ground know that the Etatement is untrue. Both sides have denied it and the temper of the people themselves refuted it. The contrary was very nearly true that every one wanted to see the Question taken out of politics. Another delusion of the editorial writers which has been fondly cher ished is the surprise taat the 'Staid old, conservative, Quaker community, etc., etc. should have backed up the liquor interests. It need hardly be stated that a conservative and phlegmatic community is much less apt to go into hysterics and fanaticism than a boom town. The staid community is much more apt to go quietly along and sustain the conditions it has been accustomed to or to work out the question by thought and not by feel ing. ,. Another misapprehension seems to have been that the business men of Richmond openly opposed the temper ance movement If they did so, it was not openly. None was so tight lipped as your business man no matter what he believed. There was no parallel to the action of the business men of Lima, Ohio, who raised a fund of thousands of dollars to keep the sa- : loons. ' " "' ' Still other papers see in it what they fancv la a protest against county local option legislation. ' On this question it might be hard to Judge were it not for the fact that that question was before the people in the last campaign in November when Wayne county gave one of the few respectable republican majorities ' In i the state. Added to this is the ;' fact that the vote polled here in the last election was a few hundred short of the November vote. This would indicate that the voting was on a strictly res and no basia. Practically the

only stay at home vote - was that which had not made up its tnind whether to vote yea or no, A- a. matter of fact this is the first real demonstration in the state of county local "option." This election proved that though a community believed in the county local option law (witness the election in November) the same citizens availed themselves of the law to retain saloons they made the choice.. And for the most part they voted yea or no simply as they believed. It is hard to make others understand that this is a community which can grasp the difference between the local option law and prohibition. Wayne county was a demonstration that local option is not prohibition, as the brewers would have had us believe in the last campaign. The sum and substance of it is that the up-and-down-state papers have not rightly judged the citizens of Wayne county. The people here realized when the election came off that there

was only one question, "yes or no." They voted on that proposition. RATLIFF'S VOTE NOT NECESSARY It Will Not Decide Fate of Proctor-Tomlinson Compromise Liquor Bill. HE WILL HAVE INFLUENCE SHOULD HE VOTE FOR REPEAL OF COUNTY LOCAL 6T!ON LAW OTHER REPUBLICANS MAY FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE. Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Feb. 8. Ratliff's vote will not decide the fate of the Proctor-Tomlinson measure in the house, but his stand is expected to influence a number of other republican representatives. He voted for county local option at Governor Hanly's pet session which cost the state thousands of dollars, and lost the state to the republican party at the last election. If Ratliff changes his vote this ses sion, and it becomes generally known beforehand that he intends to vote for the repeal of the county local option law, it is expected that other republi cans who have been debating with themselves what to do. will follow suite. This is why Ratliff's stand is of so much importance and why tem perance people are expectantly awaiting the announcement of his stand. Ratliff up to date has remained absolutely noncommittal. Walk To Your Meals Like A man Eat What You Will and Learn to En joy Food and to Digest It. HERE'S THE SECRET, FREE. Make up your mind after reading this that you will let the next meal hold no terrors for you. You can enjoy it. You can digest it. All that is needed is to give nature the juices she lacks, to give the stomach a chance to remove the ter rible irritating acids, alkalies and gas es which turn food and nourishment into gas and decomposition. When a system is run down and depleted it needs building up. Ashes won't rekindle a fire and wrong digestive fluids will not take proper juices from food no matter how good the food is. Is this common sense' Men s.-o-i years and even life experimenting on the human system, what it lacks in disease and what it needs in perfection. This knowledge is known to every physician or should be. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are compressed natural vegetable and fruit essences which when mixed with the saliva of the mouth go into the stomach capable of digesting a full meal and they digest it to the uttermost shred. Then such a meal does a man goad and it gives to him the means to overcome stomach troubles. Forty thousand physicians use these tablets and charge you for writing a testimonial of their merit which they call a prescription. Any druggist in America or Canada will sell you a box for 50c. Think of it. Every druggist carries them. Here's common sense again. Don't this tell you there is merit?

The above is a very good portrait of Pastor Russell, -who is perhaps the most widely known speaker on the American platform to-day, having spoken in nearly every large American city, as well as in many cities "in Europe. Pastor Russell treats popular themes of vital importance to the thinking Christians of this our day of wonderful enlightenment. He is a stickler on the claim that the whole Bible is the inspired Word of God and has a peculiar facility in presenting Orthodox subjects in an attractive and interesting light. Brooklyn is to be congratulated on its reputation as "The City of Churches" and on its galaxy of pulpit lights, amongst whom are numbered as of the past, Beecher, Abbott and Talmage. '

THE KING'S DAUGHTER THE BRIDE THE LAMB'S WIFE GORGEOUS IN GOLD AND WHITE EMBROIDERY. "The Kins;' Daarhter j all Glorions within; Her Clothing is of Wrought Gold; She shall be brought unto the King in Raiaieat of Fiae NeeAework." Psa. 45: 13, 14. Our text poetically and pietorially draws our attention to one of those beautiful figures by which the close and dear relationship between Christ and his elect Church is Script urally portrayed. Whether it be the figure of the Captain and his soldiers, the Shepherd and his sheep, the Master and his servants, the Head and the Bodv members, or the Bridegroom and the Bride, each illus- i tration of our Lord s relationship to the Church carries its own important lesson. But surely none of them is more important or more beautiful than the one we are now t-onsidering our Lord, the King's Son, highly exalted to Jehovah's right hand in the Throne, and the Church in glory, his Queen and jointheir with him in his Millennial Kingdom soon to be established. The study of these pictures of heavenly things is intended to lift the minds of the "New Creation," God's spiritual sons, from things earthly and sensual, to the things pternal, which eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man the things which God hath in reservation for them that love him supremely. 1 Cor. 2:9. the preceding verses of the Psalm describe the grandeur of the heavenly Bridegroom that in his earthly life he was fairer than the children of men; that Divine grace was poured from his lips, and that the Father, because of his faithfulness, greatly blessed and exalted him. Next it tells of the inauguration of his Millennial Kingdom at his Second Advent, when as the Mighty One, he will come forth in glory and majesty, conquering Satan, fin and death. We are assured that prosperity will attend and truth, mercy and righteousness will be established in the earth, even though it be accomplished by a great time of trouble. His arrows of Divine Truth are represented as piercing all of his opponents to the heart, even as the Apostle's words in the Day of Pentecost pricked his hearers and cut them to the heart and led them to cry out, " What must we do to be saved?" Thus will the people fall before the rising Kingdom of Righteousness. Every knee must bow and every tongue confess. All who will decline to do so under those favorable conditions of full know- j ledge will be utterly "destroyed from ! amongst the people." (Acts 3:23.) j Then the declaration is made, "Thy ; throne, O God, is forever and ever; the 1 sceptre of thy Kingdom is a right sceptre. God, thy God, hath anointed j tnee wun me on oi giauness aoove uiy fellows." " THE QUEEN AND THE GOLD OF OPHIR." The picture is in the future. At the ! present time the Church is not the Queen, not the Bride, not in the glorious garments; she is merely the "espoused virgin, V called to Brideship. At present she is in her body of humiliation, or "vile body," according to the statement of our common version. But she shall be "changed" in the First Resurrection, and thereafter be the "glorious body," the glorious Bride. (Phil. 3:21.) Now she is a mixed company of both wise and foolish virgins, and many "strangers" commingle, who are not virgins at all. The testing time is not yet finished. It is not yet fully determined which, by faithfulness, will make their calling and election sure to a place in the Bride class, and which will constitute the virions her poirmaninn that fr.llr.- hi-r nientmnerl in vtrc i lonrJ wWn oro of the earth, earthy, and. never having been spirit-begotten, will never attain anything on the spiritual plane. These last await the more favorable "times of restitution," which will come after the Bridegroom and the Bride, glorified, shall have taken possession of earth and established the heavenly Kingdom or dominion. Acts 3:19-21. We cannot wonder that some refuse to believe that so great an honor has been provided for the "elect" Church. It is almost too wonderful that this. which the Apostle terms "our high calling," and "our heavenly calling,'-' ; is an invitation for us to step, not only out of fin, but from the earthly plane of being, a little lower than the angels, to the heavenly plane, far above angels, principalities -and powers to the divine nature: . Yet here are the Apostle's words, and what etc can we make of them? He tells us that (Jod has given unto us "exceeding great and precious promises, that by these we might became partakers of the divine nature." (2 Pet. 1:4.) It is proper for the Lord's people to accept these great things with that simplicity which the Scriptures tell us is best illustrated in a "little child " "nothing doubting." Says St. Paul. "He who hath freely given us Christ, shall he not with fcira also freelv give us ali things-?" St. John assents, saying, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God (even in our imperfect condition), but it does not yet appear what we shall be (how glorious): but we know that when he shall axtoear w shall bm like hj". tor wm

elian Cee v.i.ii a ne is." Ji jonn a -2.) To be with him, to share his glory, to be like him, who is the express image of the Father's person, is the highest possible conception we can have of the glorious

L things which God hath in reservation for them that love him supremely. . "RAIMENT OF FIXE NEEDLEWORK." Look again at the Queen and her glorious apparel. Notice the pure linen t clean and white, representative of her ! purity and righteousness. Remember : that she was once of the world, her i members "children of wrath, even as 1 others." Remember that by faith she ! accepted the merit of her Redeemer's sacrifice and thus she was reckonedly ; covered with his robe of righteousness. which the world saw not, but which the heavenlv Father regarded. Remember that it was because of that robe covering her natural blemishes that she was permitted to consecrate herself and to become the espoused virgin of her Anointed Redeemer and prospectively his joint-heir in the Kingdom. How wonderful these steps of grace! Looking but a little wav into the future, we behold her clothed, not with ah imputed robe of righteousness, but w?.h her own tobe of righteousness. The imputed one was hers to wear up to the time of her change from earthly to spiritual nature in the First Resurrection. Then and there perfected, it became actual. On thespirit plane she becomes righteous without spot, without blemish, a suitable companion and joint-heir for the treat Kins of Glorv. But look more closely. Note that the robe of fine linen is" beautifully em-; broidered "fine needle work." This, too, must have its significance. The embroidered figures represent ,the graces of the Spirit, meekness, gentleness, j patience, long suffering, brotherly kind- i n ess, love. Ah, yes, the Queen indeed is all-glorious within and without. The power of God will accomplish this. She is his workmanship, though not without her own willingness and co-operation. The Lord's operation upon her will be through his Word and by his Spirit; and in proportion as she yields herself thereto she is now being "changed from glory to glory," and, by the final change, will be perfected, glorified. We noted a difference between the imputed robe which the betrothed wears now and the one which she will possess when changed that the present one is Christ's imputed robe covering her blemishes, and that the glorious one of the future will be her own righteousness, "the righteousness of the saints." Let us notice also that there is an embroidery connected with them both. The robe that is now imputed to us has stamped upon it the gracious def-igns or patterns which our Lord would inculcate and which he assures us will be advantageous to us, pleading to him and necessary to our future glory. Our appreciation of our high calling, our faith in it, and our love for the heavenly Bridegroom and de: ire to be pleasing to him are the incentives to us. urging us to spend every hour, every moment possible, in the working out of the glorious embroidery designs stamped upon our robe. Each stitch must be taken carefully painstakingly. Each feature of the outline must be carefully studied. The robe itself must be kept clean, spotless. Who is sufficient for these things? Surely only those truly betrothed to the heavenly King and who love him with all their hearts and who are waiting in faith and patience for his promised Second Coming to receive the Bride unto himself and to establish his Kingdom for the blessing and uplifting of the world! St. Paul tells of this embroidery work and the adding of stitch to stitch in its development. saying. "Tribulation worketh patience; and patience, exi penence; and experience, nope; a and experience, hope; and t hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the holy Spirit, which is given to us." (Rom. 5:3-5.) St. Peter says, "Add to j our faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if these things be in you and abound, they make you that ye shall be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; . . for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Chri-t . 2 Pet. 1 :5-l I. When we think of the imperfection of bur very best endeavors along the lines of this embroidery work, this development of the graces of the holy Spirit, we ask ourselves. "Whose garment would be fit to wear in the presence of our Bridegroom and of the Father and of the holy angels?" The answer is, " None of them." It is in harmony with this that we see that the Lord has provided something different. He allows us to practise upon our robe of imputed righteousness, but the new robe, which he will give us as our own will be absolutely perfect, as . well as glorious. There will not be a flaw in the embroidery or otherwise. How so? Because that glorious dress of perfect righteousness will be given niy to those who have earnestly desired it, however short of it were their best endeavors. Inasmuch as their heart were perfect, inasmuch as their endeavors were for tcrlectjoa. tbm .Lord will accent the

heart av.U us encieavors, ana grant tnat the new bodies shall possess to full perfection all those glorious traits and qualities which were the Bride'6 ideal and endeavor in her betrothed condition, when she practised upon the imputed robe. Ah! now we see that our poor, bungling efforts are valuable in the Lord's sight, not because of what they really attain to, but because of the heart condition which they attest. With this encouraging thought, dear friends, let us continue weekly, daily, hourly, to work upon our robe painstakingly, to seek to cultivate those high, ideals of truth and grace and love, which our hearts approve, and which we see perfectly exemplified in our heavenly Father and our heavenly Lord. "HEARKEN. O DAUGHTER. CONSIDER." In the present time many voices are calling the Lord's espoused ones, the virgin Church. The world saj-s, "We admire you in many respects, but you are too prudish, too heavenly-minded. Your ideas are too radical. They tend to make you " Peculiar people." Come, mix with us. To tell the truth, your separateness of life mars our pleasure and makes us rather dissatisfied with our own standards. Come with us. Home, pleasure, art, wealth, popularity, all lend their influence towards worldliness and the cultivation of earthly hopes and prospects. Our great Adversary, r?atan, works upon us with ; subtlety, co-operating with the earthly ' influences. W hat shall we do? As the j espoused one listens she hears the voice cf her Lord saying, "Love not the i world ; neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." (1 John 2:15.) She hearkens again and hears him say, " If the world hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." (John 15:18.19.) She hearkens further and hears one of the mouthpieces of the Lord saying, " I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice. holy, acceptable unto Uod, 'which is our reasonable service." Kom. 12:1. So in the Psalm under consideration; the Prophet says, " Hearken, O daughter and consider and incline thine ear." The world says, Look, see, and be attracted by the things of tins present time. The Lord says. Hearken, consider that the present life, at the very most, is brief and that in the Lord's providence, under our call, we have an opportunity to sacrifice it and tfcus to gain the highest of all blessings in the eternal life of the future. The "foolish virgins" do not hearken enough to the voice from heaven, to the words of Jesus, the Apostles and Prophets. They are mere or less absorbed with' tho care's of thi life, the deceitfulness of riches, and thus do not fully please the Lord, even though, because of loyalty to him, he will by and by give them a good portion. The "wie virgins," who will constitute the elect, the Bride in glory, do hearken, do consider, and are guided by the counsel from on high, and press with vigor on in the narrow way of self-sacnfice, which leads to the Kingdom glory. "FOKGET THY FATHER'S HOUSE." Among the espoused, the father's house that i-? to be forgotten is the world. It does not signify that the earthly relationship of the betrothed is sneciallv vile or degenerate, but merely that the new duties and rekitionship towards the heavenlv Brideerrom. the heavenly calling, the heavenly prospects, should lift our hearts, our affections, our activities, our interests, from all earthly things, however good. The Apostle expresses this same thought, saying. "Set your affection on things that arc above, not on things that are on the earth." (Col. 3:2.) We are not to! neglect, however, our duties and natural obligations to our earthly friends and relatives, but we are to have these in subserviency to the higher interests : the spiritual. Christ, the Bridegroom, i first, is the thought, and he represents to us alio the Father and the Father's "HE IS THT LORD." The Psalmist proceeds, "So shall the King greatly desire thy beauty, for he is thy Lord and worship thou him." Ah! there i the thought. If we rightly admire the King; if we rightly appreciate the wonderful privileges granted us of being now his espoused, as under hi loving protection and provision, and by and by his Bride and joint-heir in glory; if we appreciate these things, surely all earthly things and interest will necessarily fade, because of their comparative insignificance. And these are the terms upon which the King will desire us as members of his glorious Bride. He m ill not consign us to demons and eternal torment, if we fail to rightly appreciate this i-ituation. and, while not repudiating his lore and grace, give a portion of our love to our father's house and our own people, the world ; but he will not choose us as members of his Bride cass. unless tit cvnditijn,of fvtll

(Coprrlffbt 1900. by Oaorg Uatthaw aduaa) consecration to nrvn' ne the ainiucie of our hearts. Surely this is not unreasonable. Had we been called even from the ranks of the highest order of angels to be joint-heirs with the King of glory, the honor conferred would have been so great as to merit an undivided love, devotion. Surely, then, we, redeemed by his precious blood from our fallen, sinful state, and then invited to share his glory in the Divine plan, should be so enthused, so filled with appreciation of the honor protTered, that we would gladly, willingly, voluntarily, lay aide every earthly weight and interest and strive with patience and loving devotion to attain the priie of the High Calling set before us of Joint-Heirship . with the King of tings and Lord of lords. ' "WORSHIP THOU HIM." The espoused Church, if faithful, will recognize but the one Head, the one Lord, the one Bridegroom. This does I not mean that she may not recognize the Elders, Pastors and Teachers,! Apostles and Prophets, as the Apostle has pointed out to be the Divine ar-, rangement for her assistance, but it does mean that, neither men, nori Councils, nor Federations, old or new,! can be properly recognised by the: betrothed Church as in any sense or1 degree taking the place of the Bridegroom, the true Head of the Church, nor as in any sense of the word becoming her director or law-giver. Others may defer to creeds, ancient or modern, to councils, synods and conferences may allow these to guide them and even to dictate to them their faith or course; but not so the Lord's betrothed one, if she would be faithful to her Vow. "To my Lord I would tru Who bought me with hia blood." Throughout the, past, history shows us that the nominal Church has been so reverential towards creeds and gystems and human traditions as to quite forget our Lord's words "One is your Master, even Christ, and all ve are brethren." (Matt. 23:8.) Forgetful of this Divine instruction the Nominal Church of all denominations has established theoretically a class distinction in the Church clergy and laity. Such distinctions are I not only unknown to the Scriptures, but opposed to their spirit and teachings. The real Church the truly consecrated believers, are all priests, as said St. Peter to the Church in general and not to a clergy, of whom he had no knowledge: " Ye are a ryal priesthood . . . .that you should show forth the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous lieht." Christ is the Chief Priest over these royal priests sulordinate to him. He is "their Head. Director and Exemplar, a- well as their Redeemer. The anointing which constituted him a priest is the holy Spirit, and the same anointftig, the same holy Spirit. L upon those who are united to him, us the branches of the Vine. Those who are not thus anointed, not thus priests, are not of the Church of Chii't at all. but merely natural men, brought into nominal Church relationship through misundcr- , standing of the Divine Plan. The sooner thi Plan i understood and the wor-hir and reverence and he nor taken from sectarian parties and creeds and :iven to the Lord, the better. The more directly he is recognized as the Head of every member, the more will each j depend upon ane draw near to him and ; have fellowship and blessing and be j used and useful in his service. j Let us, dear friends, hearken to the ! message from the Bridegroom and prove loyal to him, regardless of whether it ; brings us the smile or frown of the! world and of the Adversary! 1-ct us . hearken to the words of him that speaks t from heaven, ruther than to the words of fellow-men. however well-meaning they may be. for they, like ourselves, are r-dlible!
