GRADUATION. ~~;:A;lEAVEN is not rea.ched at a eingle bound,

But we build t.he ladder by which we riRe From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies,

And we lllount to its summit round by round.

I count this thing to be grand1.y true, That a noble deed is a step toward God, Lifttng the soul fl'om the common clod

Toa purer air and a broader view.

We rise by the things that are under our feet; By what we have mastered of good and gain; B.Y the pride deposed and pas~ion slain,

And the vanquished illt:; that we hourly meet, . We hope, we aspiJ'~, we resol ve, we trust,

Wh.en the morningcalls usto life and light; But our hearts grow weary, and ere the night,

Our lives are trailing the sorded dust.

We hope, we resolve, we aspire, we pray, And we'think that we mount the air on wings -Beyond the reach of sensual things,

While our feet sUll cling to the heavy clay. ~ ",'. - .

Winll.'sfor the a.ng-el, but feet for men! . We inay borl'o\v the win~s to find the way;' We nUlS hope, and resolve, and aspirE', and pray;

But ourJeet lDust rise, or we fall 8,gain. "-

. Only in dreams is a ladder thrown ., ,'From the 'weary ea,rt h: to the sappliire wall~ ; -'--But the dreams depart, and the vjsion falls, .

And the ·sleeper waits' 011 his pillow of stone.

Heaven is not reache~ bya single bo.un.·d·; . )But we build the ladder by which we rise . . From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies,

~nd we mount to its summit round.~by round.

The work here in the cause of Christ has culminated in one of the greatest revivals ever known in . this country, which has jtlf~t closed in the Old Town church, of Stone Fort.

BELOIT, Ala., Nov. 15, 1897. REV. o. Uo WHITFORD:

Dear Brotber:-I am requested by Rev. L.C. Randolph, . , paRtor of the Reventla-day BaptiRt church in Chicago, to send you a brief acco~nt. of the work that I did in Beaure-'gard, MiRS., b:r t.i5edirection Qnd aid of the church in Chicago. I vjsited Chicago' and preacbed for the church on :4abbath, J uly17. On tbe following Monda.y I left for Beauregard, Miss. On my arrival I met a very kind· rt'ception from the members of .the little church that., amidst aboundin-g difficulties, has maintained tbe stand­ard of Biblical Cbrildtianity. My Eltay with the!ll was about two months. I preached about twenty times, llsual1yonce on the Sabbath and twice on First-day, The att.endance was never large, but always respectable, quite a number of First-day people being Quite regular in coming. rrbe Sabbath-school, under the management of Bro. Ellis Thompson, was quite well Bustained. About the middle of August·Eld.,D. W .Leath, aconverttotheSab­bath, came to us and we·.commenced a ser,ieB of meE'tingR, whicb soon bec'oDlA d:eply interestinf?TbeRe meetings were interrupted by a week of stormfil; nevert.hele~B, they were ofgl'eat value: The church was gre8tly.q~ickened, and enconraged and Bome souls brought in to . tlae king­dODl of our Lord. Three have been recently added to the church and others have, we hope, been led into a new and better life. 1 should'fail of my ,duty if I did not call 'at­tention to the able; faithful ,a~d excellent preaching of­Eld. Leath. Though a strangior to' us oIl, he showed himself a faithful laborer for tbe Mlister, and won a large place in all our hearts. . He has~emained for a time with the people.' Yours in' Christ; ..

THE REVIVAL AT GRAND MARSH. -" ) -...

Secretary Whitford_ has asked me to give a report summing up the results of the work at GI'and Ma.rsh under the charge of Brother Ed. Babcock.' I spent three days with him, bap­tizing one rejoicing candidate, a man of D18J­

ture life. 'rhe others who have offered· thelll-.selves are to be baptized in the spring .. God has wondedully used o,?r young. brother in t.his beginning"of his work. I was deep1y irn- .. pressed by hi~ devotion to the cause, his pow­er with Goa and men. He relies implicitly on the Holy Spirit. and he is not disappointed . The nieetiugsliavA been ~ttendedwith marked manifestations of the Spirit, and have worked arevolution in the community. Ihave asked Brother .. Babcock to ~i ve a resuule of the work, and quote from ~is leiter:

We lose a faithful and zealous worker, while the church a.t Albion will' gain a wQrthy pastor. We bespeak for bim the prayers,and loyal support of the meu)bers of the church to which he goes and the ~lest;;ing of Almighty The first service which I held a,t Grand Marsh was on

Sabbath-day, Oct. 16, which is a day long to be'remem­God upon his labors .. In a recent letter to bered my me .. All I tried to say in my remarks was to the Com m'ittee he says: "Inseverin~ my con~ urge the people to pray for the baptism of the Holy ~pir­nection, with the Evangelistic Committee as it lipon that place, and it came that afternoon, and re­your eva,ngelist, I ~iMh to express my g~ati- m'ained with us tbrough themeetin,gs.

Having no divine lawmaking' SUllflav the S,nhbllth. a civil law requlrl'nH-'I1t must lie prOVIded ell:li" thel'e would be 110 law for it. Hence we hear about the dvil :Sabbath,

. MORE THAN BAS REEN SUI'PECTED,

The Sunday issue has become Involved with the Pr.,hlhHioll hlsue by real'>on of the compul­BOI'Y. holhlay making llJl MI .. day. and by reason o.f <hverting' \vOI'k from prohibition to prohibi­tIOn for one day in seven, W(' have little sus· pected how lIIut'h the civil Sabbath, intervt'lIlng in plnce of the dlvill(' Su bba h has fostered and

. entrenched the liquor traffic in this country.

THE DIFFERJl:NCE •.

The hallowed Aabbath does not make an ic11e day. The civil Sabbath do('~ this, 'l'he one lifts up. The other .Irags down .. Thl~ one it-! the divine way. The other is not. See pnge HI, The JJitTereuce..
