Having A Purpose la life. Strange, isn't it.to many people,yes, a large majority in life with no fixed purpose, no aspirations, no profession, no hope. no nothing: just drifting with the tide of time. A purpose —wbat is it? basing something in near, looking forward to tbe accom plisbraei t of tbe best that we can do aod purposing in our minds to do things, putting fortb an effort, pur pose, hacked by effort means success. *k> many have no purpose, hence fail ure. I heard a preacher say once he had mere respect for a man that served the devil with all bis strength than a man that never did anything at all for anybody or for any cause. It showed be bad a purpose, even though a bad one for bim in tbe hereafter. Aspiration—wbat does it meant w ell, nothing to tbe majority: but to the man or woman of purpose, it means ail aspiring to something that will elevate, build up. achieve and accomplish. If we have aspirations we put forth effort, we undertake things, we mean something there. Is that in our minds tb*t leads, directs and calls us on. Makes us go bigbor on tbe ladder of affairs in life; puts us ttbQve the petty things; puts littleness below us; helps us *.o build, to erect, to establish, to make sure, to overcome, to conquer, to win victory. No, and even accomplish tbe least thing in life without first having a purpose. We must necessarily have something out yonder as a beacon light, something to guide us ud, some propelling band to give life to the effort. In short, some thing to make us go. there must be a propeller. In the tight for gain in finance money is the object of our effort; in tbe medical world tbe mas tery of ditease and bow to prevent it is tbe cause for so much scientific research, causing men to risk life and hoaltb, yea all to accomplish tilings; in law, a mastery of those principles which will enable them to sway the minds of people and give significance to either side of tbe question involved : In tbe profession of teaching tbe art of undertaking simplified to that extent that facts may be intnsed into other minds less proficient; and the same as above to the study of the ministry,and so on all through' the various avoca tionbs. And with these thoughts be fore me I feel duinfounded as to wbv many people have no purpose life. Just drifting. Now. ot course, there is a final place of stopping, a place whero we wll have to have a reckoning of accounts—give an ac count of our passage, our life trip, our stewardship, how we used our time, our talents, our energies (if we have expended any) then what will be said of our purpose? Wbat hand, though invisible, can appeal to ns and make us have a purpose lor our own better mnnt and that we may achieve some thing for other's good. Will nothing prompt us, goad us or propel a desire to purpose in our minds to make the world better for having lived in itV There is such a vast amount that can and should be done that no one sboulJ pause, only long enough to enquire as to wbat vocation wherein they are A pnr|io«e in life, what is it?

Wbat will be the outcome of the con flict between capital and labor ! To the rich Janies says in tbe Etvistdi Version. "Ye have heaped treasurea together in the last days " To do tbia we have teen that they have resorted. oppression uatil the working classes have been ground down, to tW lowest point of < ndurance. But the rich will not long enjoy their riches, unmolested. The apostle, Paul, says, "In the last days petilous tunes will, couie " These are the wry days in which treasures shall be heaped to gether, as quoted above. The apostle James, looking tbe present struggles*, sees the ©ni ne and says to the capitalist "Go to ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon vou. Your gold and silver is cankered, and the rust of them shall he a witness against you and shall eat your tioeh as it were fire. '* The very riches in which they trusted have become the source ot'their misery and overthrow. The concentration of power among the rich takes the property from tbe middle class and throws into the. ranks of wage workers men of intellect and ability. With such men at their head the laboring classes have ai"o been organizing to protect themselves and instead of tbe interest of capital and labor being mutual as they must tie to ba successful they now form two antagonistic thoroughly organized forces. Organized labor has become power in the land and when its councils decide to make war upon any special line of tyranny, the effect is felt all over the broad land. In a Washington pulpit not so many years ago,Dr. Talmage preaching from the text, Matthew 7 :19—"Whatsoever ve would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them''- said "The greatest war tbe world has ever seen is between capital and labor, says it is a war of centuries, it is a war of the five continents, it is a war hemispheric.

" You may pooh-pooh i^, yon may say that this trouble, like an angry child will cry itself to sleep.;, you may belittle it by calling it Fou rierism, or socialism, or Saint-Sitaon isrn, or nihilism, or communism, but that will not binder the fact that it is the mightiest, the darkest. th& most terrific threat of the century. We shall soon have in this^eountiv four million hungry men and women. Now four million hungry people can not be kept quiet All the enactments of the legislatures and all the army and navy of the United States cannot keep four million hungiy people quiet. Some of the best thinkers of the world are awake to tbo coming conflict be tween capital and labor. "These are times of storms and stress when men's hearts fail them for fear," says the "New Nation" at Boston. Judge Brewer of the supreme bench predicts a coming struglge against captial as bloody as the war against slavery. Rabbi Adler says, "Never in the world's history has there been greater need to preach the duties of wealth and the rights of poverty. In no pro vious age has the chasm been so deep which divides the rich and the poor. " The situation is epitomized by the "Chicago Sentinel" as follows: "Money in the banks accumulating. Money in the channels of trade dimin ishing. Business failures increasing. Tbe value of money and securities ris ing The value of property and labor falling. Tramps multiplying. Pa pers' accounts piling up. The wolf prowling around the hovels of the poor. Eutei prise paralyzed. Business strugglug fot life. Labor forced^ to idleness. Crime on the increase.

Unscrupulous men and women, too, are only too glad to take advantage of the spirit of discontent among the working classes. " A great writef in the "Battle For Bread" says Anarchy is abolition of tbe rights of property; it makes you share and your house and your family mine, and mine yours; it is wholesale robbery; it is every man's hand against evety other man; it is arson and murder, and r. pine, and lust, and death triumphant; it means no law, no church, no defense, no right, no YOUR BANK ACCOUNT large oi small— WE WANT IT We have The ORGANIZATION The RESOURCES The LOCATION Bank of Lexington Lexington, Mississippi, Capital, Surplus and Undivided Profits Over One Hundred Thousand Dollars happiness, no God; it means hell let loose on earth and society a combina tion of devils incarnate. " X RAY. Mrs. W. E. McLellan. Wife of Rev. W. E. McLellan died at her home in this city Tuesday night. Funeral set vices, conducted by Rev. Martin Ball, were had from the residence Wednesday afternoon and tbo remains laid to rest in Oakwood ceme tery. She leaves a devoted husband, two sons and one daughter to mourn her loss. Whle she has gone from the ceness, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life she will still live in the hearts of those who knew her best. Her retiring nature led her to hide hei best qualities from public gaze, but they were revealed to those who en joyed her acquaintance, yet it was at home that her true worth was most conspicuous.
