of tho Stato with regard to tho levying of

extraordinary slump In tho cotton crop
necessarily had a depressing effect And
yet Houston pushed ahead The

crenrcd tho volume of business Increased
and merchants extended their
territory
and vastly Increased their trade during
the that has

Novcr In lt history has
Houston en-
Joyed that costly luxury a lioom Its

tv values in Houston during tho years
1WI3 noperty la saleable Tho absence
of a lxxjin Is responsible for this very nil
mlrablo condition of affairs owing to the
fact that exorbitant values hnve never
prevailed here Houston Is nil right nnd
will continue to grow right along as
usual
IM Klim tho clothier remarked that
h was well satisfied with tho buslnesH of
ISIS It lias been a prosperous year
said he but candidly I look for n dull
spring I may lie mistaken but I am an
ticipating no great rush during the spring
months Houston needs paved streets
and needs Ym had We mu t pave tho
streels of this cltv at whatever enst
Iho miserable streets are the only draw
back the only obstacle In the way
Other npresentntlvn busliifvs men were
seen and all taikisl encouragingly or tho
future mid many predicted a moat pio
peroii j ear nml great addition to the
population of the city Occasionally a
pessimist wn found who looked through
smoked glasses and piedicted tight
times nnd a scarcity of money AH

nvangellst Northcutt nt tho Central Clitls
tlnn Church
Hvangellst Northcutt opened tho ntter
noon meeting veslerdny with un lllustra
Hon of thij llfo In Christ Jesus to the
fact that the bird of paradise always
llls with the w nd unless compelled to do
otherwise Flying against the wind ruf
lies an I dcsltojs Its lovely plumage o
tho Christian who travels with Jesus does
so with ease comfort and profit Tho
beautiful lesson of trust the preacher
said Is one no ono can lenrn too well
Wo should take nil our trials to Jesus
and leavo them there When trials seem
about to overwhelm us let us seek not
so much tho removal of trial but rather
for grace to endure Thus wo nro mado
strong Satan can do us no harm while
Vju tl n loxo hlm > Hc throne
of Clod Ho would throw every obstacle In
our way but he can pot live near Jesus
Thrnee he must lie separated from us
If vtokevp clnso to our Saviour
The imnvolllng of tho Holy Spirit was
tho subject chosen by Hvaiigellst II A
Northcutt at tho Central Christian
church hist evening Ho eeiecicd as a text
verses S7 nnd 38 of tho seventh chapter
of Johns gospel No one he mild ciui i
do nny kind of work without spiritual
preparation How much less can a Chm
tlan do good work for Ood except nre
Piircd by tho spirit of Hod whl h can
only he douo by tho Indwelling of tho
Holy spirit
In Old Testament tlnxa tho spirit of
jK
fiK
Ood operated In a different manner than
now Under the law It enabled men to
prophesy and work miracles Under this
dispensation tho Holy rplrlt is In the
world as a comforter And It Is better jo
because we havo the Inspired record of tho
workings of Gods spirit In prophetlo times
and now the actual reality ot the Holy
spirit dwelling In our hearts
In the Indwelling of tho spirit promised
lo us said the preacher read tho
eighth chapter of Itomuns How may wo
receive more of the Holy plrlt An Infidel
can not receive this spirit because ot his
unbelief livery human heart must turn to
God in belief nnd obedience Here are the
condition that wo bellevo Ood Obey
Ood love Ood nnd nsk Him for tho gift
of Ills Holy spirit
Whero I heaven soys some one Oo
and build up tho broken heart feed tho
hungry clothe the naked and Heaven
will como to you Why does Ood rlvo lie
Ills spirit In order that wn may under-
stand the Dlble It can not be unelerstooa
by tho reason but It can by the spirit the
result of trying to comprehend Ood s word
through tho reason Is nn Infidel but of a
child of Ood 1 to bo drawn nearer to Ood
Do Christians ever reach tho point
where they cease to doubt Possibly not
but thev havo only to steal away some-
where nlono nnd tell It to Jesus where
praise Ood nil doubts y away as dark-
ness beforo tho sunshine and wp stand
in tho full llcht of faith In Jesus love
We mav loso all our worldly goods
hut If wo havo not lost faith In God we
still possess more than wo havo lost for
if wo have faith In Jesus Christ It can
never be tnken from him by creditors
