Desipite their aigc ithey were active in church circles. l>ate Friday niight t'hey were not seen about the house and when the blinds were still drawn shortly before noon yesterday, neighbors decided to investigate. The door was forced open and the aged brother and sister were found in ad joining rooms, their (bodies stiffened from the cold. Investigation developed the fact that the fire in the furnace had been out many hours. A plhysieian said that the death of the aged couple had been due to the freezing teuupcTature.

Useful Gifts HOT WATER BOTTLES FOUNTAIN SYRINGES RUBBER GLOVES AT Golden Seal Drug Store, 11S. Market Square. sxmm mm fgffISEBMONS 11 W.PuwisM THE SUBLINE ORATOR. Text, "Never man spake like this man." —John vil. 46. Jesus was a popular preacher. Crowds flocked to hear him. Tlia synagogue was full when be spoke. Town and village flocked to the fields when he spoke there. The beach was crowded when he spoke from the prow of Simon Peter's fishing boat. The farmer left Ills plow, the flslwrman his bont, the woman her kneading trough, the tax gatherer his booth. Rich men like Nlcodemus and Joseph of Arlma thea listened secretly, the common people heard him gladly. The high priest* came to the conclusion that they must silence him or they them selves would soon be overthrown. The very sanhedrln Itself would soon go down before this new leader who had such eloquence of word and spirit, such fascination and charm of soul, that the multitude were carried away by lus addresses. So they sent their* police to arrest him. The officers waited too long before acting. If they bad gone up to him while he was silent, but they were curious to hear him speak. In a short while his ar rest at their hands was no longer s part of their day's work. He had ar rested them! They came back to their superior officers empty handed. "Why have ye not brought, him?" they In quired. "Never man spake like this man." was the answer. Then the Pharisees sneered in their faces and said, "Are ye also deceived?" The Art of Arts. Not all great men are speakers. Washington never made a speech. In the zenith of his fame he once tried It. failed and gave it up, confnsed and abashed. Jefferson never made a speech. Grunt was "the silent man of Galena." Napoleon, whose abilities as an executive were unparalleled, couldu't talk before an audience. Men are "born orators?" Not any more than "born doctors" or "born lawyers." There are of course an inherent capa bility and capacity with some, but be yond all that It is an accomplishment, an art, a science. It Is the one master ful art tbut can be acquired. The pub lic speaker dominates those who hear him, convinces their reason, controls their judgment, compels their action. He Is their master. Patrick Henry and Nathan Hale each was immortal ized by a single sentence. A great par liamentary reputation was bnilt on a single speech by a man who had wit enough to keep silence afterward. Part of a great evangelist's attraction is that folks like to see and bear a real live man In action, talking in the ver nacular of the common people. The bearing and the manner are often more eloquent and more truthful than the tongue. The speaking eyes, the telltale cheeks—the living man. The Great Preaoher. Three elements combine to make eloquence- a great occasion, a great theme, a great personality. Lincoln at Gettysburg, Webster at Bunker Hill, Beecher at Manchester, Chatham in parliament. When John Randolph was about to die be said to his fellow se»- ators. "Lift me up." They lifted him. "1 want to hear that voice!" "Whose?" "Henry Clay's." Then he was willing t« die. The occasion brings eloquence. Christ's occasion was the need of hu manity; his theme, the kingdom of God—at baud. He spoke of the great questions that belong to all time and ages. He talked of God and man. He took God out of the clouds and pitched his tents close to the tents of men. He spoke about humanity. He put a new meaniug in the word "neigh bor." His personality was unique. He was filled with the spirit he sought t» Impart to others. The secret of pul pit power and eloquence is not in the teaching of the schools, though that is useful. To teach theology is not to preach religion. Wesley and White field were great preachers—one Armin ian, the other Massillon and Melanchthon—one was Roman Catholic, the other Protestant. Au thority, sympathy, love of nature, pro found spiritual experience, love of hu manity, God in the soul. These are the fundamentals of oratory. Christ the Conversationalist. The Master was not a Demosthenes with "action" for his three rules of oratory. He did not depend for his power on dramatic effects. He taught often sitting down. He didn't captivate his audience by oratorical splendor. His power wasn't primarily intellec tual, not the dialogues of Plato or the philosophy of Hegel or Kant. Most of his teaching was conversational. Colloquial talks with men rather than set speeches. Only about five of his discourses can properly be called ser nions. Yet he continually dealt with the greatest problems of human life. What is the object of life; the secret of happiness, of wholeness, holiness of character; the duty of man: the issue of life; the outcome of the drama of human history? His parables are in terpretation of great spiritual truths. His conversations with Nicoilemus and the woman of Samaria nre rich in food value. His table talks at the dinner feasts are uplifting. Would that we could take our profitless exchange of empty phrases in conversation and vitalize them. Not all can be orators;, all can reach the human heart through the common medium of everyday speech. As It Will Be. The New Woman- I'm going to the club, Algernon. Algernon-Very well, but I've done all I could to make the home attrac tive.—Philadelphia Ledger. To say of a man. "He means well," Is worth nothing unless he does well— I'lautUA.
