All through human industry there is this co-operation between God and man. He stores the cellars of the earth with gold or coal, and it is for man to excavate it; He fills the hedgerows and woodlands with wild fruits and flowers, it is for man to cultivate them; He fills the earth with iron, copper, and other priceless treasures, it is for man to work them into all manner of useful implements. In every harvest-field, garden, orchard, industry, and employment of natural law for the purpose of civilization, there is this combined effort of God and man. God's energy works according to laws, which man must study as the key to the unlocking of the forces which he uses to flash his messages, guide the aero plane or motor, or speed him across the ocean.
Are you anxious about the task God has given you to do today? Do you believe that everything depends on you? Just strike the rock. God is working in secret to pour out rivers of water for every man, woman, and child. And when living waters begin to flow, praise Him.
Concerned about his personal life, Ed went to his pastor for help. After listening to the young man's mild list of supposed sins, the wise preacher felt that he had not been completely honest. "Are you sure that's all?" the preacher asked. "Yes, pastor," Ed said. "Are you positive you haven't been entertaining any impure thoughts lately?" the pastor continued. "Oh, no," Ed replied, "but they've sure been entertaining me."
LET US lay the emphasis on the word fruit, as contrasted with the works of the law. In work there is effort, strain, the sweat of the brow, and straining of the muscles; but fruit comes easily and naturally by the overflow of the sap rising from the root to bough and bud'. So our Christian life should be the exuberance of the heart in which Christ dwells. The Apostle Paul prayed that Christ might dwell in the heart of his converts, that they might be rooted and grounded in love. It is only when the Holy Spirit fills us to the overflow that we shall abound in love to all men.
Think of what it would be like if we went to bed some night knowing that the sun would not rise again the next morning. Think of the coldness, the unending darkness, the inescapable fingers of death that would gradually move across the earth. Plants would wither, flowers would wilt, trees would die, and all of life would perish for lack of sunlight.
Years ago, I heard a story about a man looking for flowers for spring planting. At the greenhouse he came across a golden chrysanthemum, bursting with blooms. To his surprise, it was hidden in a corner and growing in an old, dented rusty bucket.
The specter of death is faced by every human being. Yet, whether we face that reality with fear or with confidence is not dependent on having a good outlook or a positive attitude. The way we face death depends completely on whether or not we have a personal relationship with Jesus, who gave Himself to die so that death itself could be abolished.
It is a required field. Previous versions of HL7 stated this implicitly by defining a default value of "F." Code F indicates that the result has been verified to be correct and final. Code W indicates that the result has been verified to be wrong (incorrect); a replacement (corrected) result may be transmitted later. Code C indicates that data contained in the OBX-5-observation value field are to replace previously transmitted (verified and) final result data with the same observation ID (including suffix, if applicable) and observation sub-ID usually because the previous results were wrong. Code D indicates that data previously transmitted in a result segment with the same observation ID (including suffix) and observation sub-ID should be deleted. When changing or deleting a result, multiple OBX segments with the same observation ID and observation sub-ID are replaced or deleted as a unit. Normal progression of results through intermediate (e.g., 'gram positive cocci') to final (e.g., 'staphylococcus aureus') should not be transmitted as C (correction); they should be transmitted as P (depending upon the specific case) until they are final.

After seeing Blanchesafely restored to her grandparents, Sonora had promised her she would rideover bright and early to see how she .felt after so unexpected a bath. Clarence had offered to accompany her,which she accepted with pleasure, forshe thought she should then have anopportunity of knowing exactly thestate of his heart with reference toBlanohe and it was better to-know -atonce than to remain in anxiety."Good morning', Sonora," was thefirst greeting, as she met Clarence onthe stoop, all ready for his ride.Lovely indeed she looked as she stood jupon the steps ready to mouut, with herlittle silver-mounted whip in one hand,while with the other she held up theskirt of her elegant riding habit, displaying the neat little gaiter. The sun,as it shone upon the dark green clothand coquettish little velvet cap, formeda striking contrast to her fair, opencountenance and rich brown curls,hanging around her siiouldrs like amantle."Good morning. You see I am waiting, like a dutiful knight," said Clarence, as he assisted her upon her horse.Then, mounting his own, the two started off iu a graceful canter.Thoy met old Mrs. Marsh at the door,hanging out Blanche's pet canary to enjoy the morning air. She informedthem that her granddaughter was quitewell.with the exception of a cold, whichshe had taken the previous night"But come into the house and takebreakfast with us," and the dear oldlady led the way, while the two followed. "We will come in a few moments,"said Sonora; "and I will leave you,grandma, to entertain Mr. Pierpont,while I run up stairs to see Blanche andGrade. Wo have promised to ictuni tobreakfast.""Very well, though I have almostforgotten how to entertain young gentlomen. However, I will soon learn,"said the old lady, smiling as she took ofther spectacles, and beating herself in theold-fashioned ettsy chair, added, "Gracicuas a severe lieauacne, ana has not yet 1 sire, she gave her hand to Charles Pierarisen." ' ,mnt. ..,..1Claronce tltought, as he looked upon I jher, that he hud never seen a finer Sec'inien of old age in his life than Mrs.Marsh, and he thought about right, ourreaders would say, had they seen her.Her full, matronly form was 'arrayed iua morning ilress 01 brown ana wnitegingiiam, over wnion was tieu a nanu-some black silk apron.

A gentluman whom I met at a party oncehanded me a hud, saying at the tamotime, Till this bud fades will myfriendship for you never decay.' I tookit, placing it in my hair, and thoughtno more about it until I began preparing for bed. I took it ;opt and found ittobe artificial! I have preserved it eversince, nearly forty years.""Well, that -was rather romantic,"said Clarence, placing the beautiful budwithin the button hole of his vest."Have you ever met tne gentlemanMncc ?""Never, though I have heard lie married and resided in Georgia.""Which lie certainly does," said Clarence, "and is at present living. I haveheard him relate the incident a numberof times to his wife, and laughinglywomlcrif Ida Glare was still living. Theidentical gentleman is my uncle, and Imay say my father, for I lost my ownwhen a child.""Then he was your mother's brother,for his name is "Warren AVinship."Precisely so, dear madam. That ismy uncle's name.""Do I, then, indeed behold the childof my long lost friend, Cora AVinship?"and placing her hand upon the arm. ofClarence, the old lady eyed him fromhead to foot, till finally, not able to control her feelings as the remembrance ofold times came back, she seated herselfand wept.Clarence, not willing to intrude uponher feelings, wandered around the garden to await Sonora's return. In a fewmoments ho turned, upon hearing thevoice of Blanche."What! Grandmother in tears! Lookout, Mr. Pierpont, you are a dangerousfellow," said Blanche, with more meaning than one, as she turned to inquirethe cause. "I verily believe you havebeen making love to grandma. I shallacquaint grandpa as soon as I sco him,"and sitting down beside her, inquiredthe cause of her tears."Do not be so trifling, Blanche," said' (i... i.i.. iisit i.:t.i.nI will tell you a little story," continuedshe, looking at Clarence, "and then youwill know why I wept.""About fifty-five years ago I was justthe age of Sonora. Cora Winship and Ihad been friends from childhood without ever having a word or feeling tomar that friendship till she was seventeen, one year older than myself. It wasa bright, sunny afternoon in the fall ofthayear that we walked out together tohave a good long interview, preparatoryto my leaving for boarding school in adistant city the following day. I shallnever forget it the bitter feelings whichstirred my bosom as we sat together under the old oak tree at the foot of myfather's garden. Sho had long had alover, Walter Mount, aud this day shetold me all how dear lie was to her,how he had bued for and won her love,and how happy she should be when, atthe close of another year, he would return and claim her as'his bride. WalterMount had long been the idol of myheart, though lie had never given methe least reason to think that he thoughtany more of inc than a friend. But Idetermined to win him from Cora, andso I did. He was in business at thosame city in which I attended school,and Cora, unsuspecting girl, gave me aletter to give him. After opening it andrnrtflitirr if T ciihct I ti tiwl nitrtflinr In Sfat.. oll!

At first hecould not bear to sec her friend, but atlast became a little more reconciled tohis sad disappointment, and called onme, giving me all those little keepsakeswhich she had given him to return toher all but her picture; this he said liecould not part with until death. Corareceived them in silence, aud from thatday never mentioned his name; but agloom had settled upon hcryouug heart.Six months later, at her mother's de-' " - " ""ltMbitter tears over the grave of my dearestand earliest friend.AValtcr lived justsix months Ionsand then died of abroken heart. He was buried with horpicture upon his breast and her lovej within his soul, and no doubt in heaventheir spirits commingle. This, Clarence,(for so I must call hor child), is the history of your mother's life. And girls,"said the old lady, wiping her eyes,"take warning by me, and be true toone anotner."Sonora could not refrain from shedding tears as Mrs. Marsh finislred. Thecircumstance seemed peculiar, and calledforth thoughts which she tried iu vainto banish.Blancho stooped to examine a choicerose, while a haughty smile curled herbeautiful lips. Turning, she asked:"Grandma, how came you to find outthat Mr. Pierpont was in any way connected with your former life?""Merely by accident," she replied,and she related the incident of the rosebud."Strange things occur fn this world,"remarked Sonora, and winding her armaround Blanche's neck, said, "Let us bemends forever.""Forever! If we are not, it willjbo nofault of yours; but they soy, What isallotted cannot be blotted.'" f-aldBlanche, and putting her arm aroundSonora's waist, the two friends, destinedto be rivals, stood looking at each other.Grandma walked into the houe, leaving the young people alone.At last Sonora, turning to Clarence,said:"I think wo had better bo going.Breakfast will be waiting, I fear.""I think so myself," replied ho. Then,looking at Blanche, Bald, '1 am veryglad to find you in such good Bpiritsthis morning. I was fearfal your frightmight produce sickness.""Thank you," sho Joplied, "for takingso much interest in my welfare. Myheartfelt thanks are due to you, Mr.Pierpont, for the preservation of mylife; and""bay no more, Miss Levere. It wasno more than my duty, nor more tlianany other gentleman would havo ilono.I am only happy to see you safe and wollbeneath the roof of thoso who fondlylove you. This is recompense enough,"and offering Sonora his arm, turned todepart."I shall expect you carl y on Thursdaymorning next to complete arrangements, and so on ; so do not disappointme, dear Sonora," said Blanche."I shall be here if my life Is spared,"was the reply; "so good-bye till trjen."Hastening down tho walk, Clarenceand Sonora were soon upon their horsesonce more."What a handsome couple," mutteredBlanche to herself. "Strange that Inever heard the name of Pierpont before, when it was so Intimately connected with grandma. lie loves her, nodoubt. How sweetly he said, 'I wasfearful your fright might produce sickness.' Ho takes a little interest in me,anyway, or lie would not como over toinquire about me. I'll win him! Yes,I will! I guess I take after my grandmother;" and laughing a low laugh, sheadded, "My toilet shall bo without faulton Thursday, and then sec what Blanchocau do. Ah, my friend, I pity you, but'love must go where it is- sent,' " andhumming a lively air, she ran in to herbreakfast, which was waiting.As Clarence aud Sonora rode alongslowly, side by side, the former remarked: "What a lumdsomo girl your friendis, Sonora. If she only had the disposition which characterizes ono whom IHope ono day to call my own, she mightbe said to be almost perfect; but, on thocontrary, I think her vain and trifling.Sho lacks that 'one thing needful' horhcart 1,as ncver becn regenerated by thoall-saving grace of God. Would thatyou could exert some of your gentle influence upon her, my dear one, audbring her to the foot of the cross.""I fear I would prove inadequate tothe task," answered Sonora. "Thoughmy heart is often willing, still the fleshis weak, aud when I undertake to convince her of the follies of this world, andpoint out to her the glory in anticipation of thoso who serve the Lord, herarguments always over-balance mine,and -she generally hushes me with, 'O,do not speak of such doleful subjects.Tliero is plenty of time.' Perhaps if youshould talk to her it might make an impression."

Her dross of Indianmuslin was looped oil the shoulderswitli a delicate moss-bud of the samehue as her dress.

Although she respected Mr. Greeley as aman, she still regretted to ay that liehad, in hor opinion, acted unwisely inthis regard.The following resolutions were thenadopted:Whereas, Horace Greelev, as the Edi-lor-in-Chiefof the New York Tribune,has for the last four years lost iio opportunity to ridicule and falsifv the spiritand purpose, the principles and personsof the AVomaii !?uu'mge movement ofthis country, thereby making that influential journal a powerful engineagainst the emancipation of the womenof the nation; thereforeJiciolvcd, That no woman witli decentself-respect can aid witli voice or pen inills election to the high position towhich lie is nominated.Resolved, That since the right to voteis a right of every citizen of the UnitedStates, it is the duty of all patrioticwomen citizens to exercise this right inthe coming Presidental election, and theduty of all patriotic men to remove theobstructions now blocking the way.Jlctolved, That as Cincinnati has refused, iu the faco of the Fourteenth amiFifteenth Amendments, to recognizewomen as citizens, with the capacity tobo legal representatives iu a politicalConvention, it is the duty of f be womansuffragists, throughout the country tosend their representatives to Philadelphia and Baltimore to demand of eachIn turn justice for women, and thus testthe lovalitv of Republicans aiid Democrats alike to the great principles of freedom on which our Government is based.Retailed, That we, the AVonian Suffragists or the country, will work andvote with the great national party that jshall acknowledge the political equalityor woman.Resolved, That in cae neither Philadelphia nor Baltimore shall recognizethe full citizenship of women, theXa-i tional Woman Suffrage Committee shallcall a .National .Nominating Conventionat such time and place as thev shall seetit.The evening session was addressed byMrs. Marie llowlund, Laura DeForecGordon, and several others. At theclose of the session several members ofthe AVoodhull faction, apparently desirous of breaking up the Convention,loudly protested against its continuingauollier day; but tlie matter was quietlysettled by Susan B. Anthony, who, in ashort speech, explained that the halbat! been engaged lor tnrec t ays, aimthat they should inectagnin at 11 o'clockthis morning.Kadical Eeforms Needed.Among the changes needed in the existing order of things to simplify justiceand equalize human rights wc note thefollowing.1st. The abolition of tlie Grand Jurysystem. It is a useless aud expensivehumbug, and its duties can be betterdischarged by committing magistrates.It gives tho accused nor opportunity toface his accusers; thus the reputation ofinnocent persons is often blackened byindictments founded in malice of onesided witnesses.2d. A ciiange in tlie trial jury systemfrom the unanimous to the majorityverdict the same as in the State of Nevada. The Idea of forcing men to agreeis an absurdity, and is subversive ofjustice. Trial juries iu criminal casesshould also determine the nature andduration of the punishment, whichshould be divested of everything likevindietiveness', and be made reformatorywnoiiy.3. Hie abolition of capital punishment. It is a relic of barbarism brutalizing iu its ctrects UKn the publicmind, antl is uot needed for the proteetion of well organized fcociety. It prevents tlie culprit from making that reparation to society which lie justly owes,and wliich lie can only pay by a life ofservice to the State.I. A change in the probate laws togive the widow the same control overthe common property that i3 now enjoyed by tlie husband iu case of thewtfo's ilonlli; .md thus do awav with thewhole business of administration during Ithe lifetime of either party to the marriage contract. Small estates are nowabsorbed by the expensive probate business, and widows, who are frequentlymore competent to manage business affairs than were ever their defunct husbands when living, are hampered by allsorts or unjust restrictions.5th. A change iu the law of dofcentand distribution, so as to take it out ofthe power of a man to dispose by will ofmore than a certain sum say $10,000to any one person or purpose.Gth. Graduated taxation exemptingall homesteads, or implements of trade iwliereby a person obtains a iivcuuooti,to tho value of$l,000, and fixing a graduated scale of taxes ujion all other property, until it readies a figure beyondwhich it would be impossible to accumulate; thus preventing the aggregation of vast estates in tlie hands of individuals to the injury of the many.AVheu these "reforms are brought aboutsome of which, wo apprehend, will besome considerable time nonce wc shallhave a few more to suggest.

It is sd'me men's nature to talk.Words flow out incessantly, like dropsfrom a spring in the hill-side not bocause they are solicited, but becausepushed out by inward force that willnot let them bo still. From this extreme there is every degree of modification until we come to the opposite extreme, in which men seem almost unable, certainly unwilling, to utter theirthoughts-. Some men are poor in simplelanguage. Tliey nave thoughts enougn,but the symbols of thoughts wordsrefuse to present themselves, or comesingly and stingily. Others are silentfrom tho stricture of secretivones. Others cautious, and look before they speak,and before they are ready the occasionhas passed.In regard to language itseif, the habitof reading pure English, and of employing It every nay, is the best ilnil lor agood talker, l'eoplu always act morenaturally in their every day clothesthan they do when dressed up for Sunday; and the reason is, that they are uneotiscious in the one case aud self-consciousin the other. It is so in speech.If one allows himself to talk coarsoiyand vulgarly every day and out of company, lie will most assuredly find it noteasy to talk well in company.Habit is stronger than intention, anilsomewhere the common run of speechwill break through and betray you. Toconverse well at some times requiresthat you shall converse well at all time?.Avoid on the 0110 side vulgarism, allstreet colloquialisms, even when theyare not vicirus; for by-words and slanc-sentences amuse only while they arenew. As soon as they become habitualtlioy corrupt yonr language, withoutanyequivalent amusement.On the other extreme, avoid magniloquent and high-flown language of everykind. Nothing is more tedious than agrand talker. Everybody laughs at apompous talker, who lugs into his conversation big words or pedantic expressions. The best language in tho worldis that which is so simple and transparent that no one thinks of the wordswhich you use, but only of the thoughtor feeling which they express.Conspicuous among the ladies whohave become journalists in this countrymay be mentioned Miss Margaret F., u.haua,,,, For , yo ',I .lsS5tai1, or the l .lucngo Jlvcntng Ivat.ears 'she has been the princi-5 .. bl J01)i.. political. iWerarv. ruglous, financial, etc., and doing any't of sm..i work in tho wav nf; dramatic and musical criticism. i)urj ing tlie month succeeding the fire shewrote more man a column and a hair aday.
