Our Lady's Day.

Monday Ust saw Hammcmton'sstreets filled as never before withvisitors from everywhere,— paytici-pants~and~spectators~ortHe~Feasfof Our Lady . of Mount Carmel.The crowds began to gather <niiteearly,— coming in by train and allsorts of vehicles, until the "oldestinhabitant1 ' was amazed at themultitude. It was an orderlycrowd, too, for though plenty ofpolicemen had been appointed, notone was arrested for improper con-duct, and but very few were seenoverstimulated. One fellow wastaken in as a pickpo'cket, but theevidence was not clear, and ChiefAdam shipped him away on thenext train.

The fakers were here, sure, in allsorts ot trade, with pin-wheels, bal-loons, medals, badges, fans, etc.,etc. A Hindoo (?) fortune tellerwas a novelty, and took in manynickels from the curious and super-stitious. Stands and booths inplenty supplied food, drink, and allsorts of things. The Ocean Waveand Merry-go- round were here, ofcourse. Among the fakes was a"child-eating crocodile," to seewhich many paid a nickel. Therewas a crocodile, perhaps five feetlong, and several little fellows ; butno one saw him eat a. child. Theroars which attracted outsiderswere made by drawing the handalong a waxed string attached tosheepskin stretched over a sectionof terracotta pipe, resting in a box.There were two or more gamblingdens, which were run so carefullyT.liaTTlIe~poli£e missedj'em until latein the afternoon.

It was a lively day.Three bands paraded the street, —

one from Egg Harbor, one fromCologne, and the Pizzi MarineBand from Philadelphia. The lattersustained its high reputation. Fora time seated opposite this office, itdiscoursed operatic and classicalmusic that delighted cultured ears.Of course tbe bag-pipes and mis-cellaneous instruments were in thecrowd, including the hurdy-gurdyand monkey.

The programme was carried out,notwithstanding one of the heaviestrainstorms we ever witnessed. Butthis lasted only about an hour,from twelve o'clock, — a record-breaking fall of water while itlasted, soaking everything. Thatwas the only interruption, andpeople continued to pour into town.

The parade started promptly atfour o'clock,. — the usual formation,— bands, society, iinages,,lpng linesof white-robed girls, and the mis-cellaneous crowd. The dust hadbeen laid, the temperature moder-ated, and all went well with themarchers and the multitude.

The fireworks were quite up toexpectation, and delighted thewitnesses, — lasting over an hour.

Altogether, the celebration wasan unqualified success, and allIlatnmonton enjoyed it.

IS TOMMYATKINS DESPISED?

An Immense-snoutaerea uuardsmansnorted indignantly when Mr. An-swers, with the memory of soldiers inuniform being refused admittance tohotels ami public dances, asked himif Tommy Atkins was really despised.What was his owti experience?

"(Xii St. Patrick's Day," he said, "theball committee in a provincial towndecided that they could not entertainmen in uniform. What snobbery!

"Mot only was It an Insult to themen themselves, but it was an insultto the King's uniform. Scores of selt-reapecting soldiers shun public func-tions. lesUfliey should be snubbed, andTommy detests nothing so much asbeing reminded by snobs that he is•only a common soldier.'

"I've been at soldiering all my life,and my people were at it generationsbefore me. I 'won my V. C. in SouthAfrica, and I've travelled in manyparts of the world. Yet I've neverhad the satisfaction of punching tirehead of the man who refused me ad-mittance to a public dance or a hotel•when I have been wearing the King'scolors.

"No, Mr. Answers. The averageTommy knows how to behave himself.I may be a little prejudiced, but. tn

• jny opinion, soldiering is the nestbusiness in the world for polishing a

"man up."Of course, you can't nelp the recruit

niol.ng a little 'swanking.' It seemsnatural, when some girls will actuallypay him so much an hour to walk out-with them. But when he gets therough edges knocked off, he is a verydecent fellow, and ought not to be re-fused admission to any public func-tion. As a matter of <Bct, I know atleast one ball-room where soldiers andBailors in uniform are admitted free."

. L I B E L I N G OLD ENGLAND.

According to eneral Fillet, ofTrance, the author of "U'angleterre vuea Loridres et dans ses Provinces,".published in 1815, wife murderers ahundred years ago generally wentscot free in England.. In this engag-ing work the author says that "theMurder of a married woman by herhusband is hardly recognized as acrime. If by some rare chance thaguilty husband is brought to justicehe Is bound to he acquitted. This ac-counts for the heavy death rateamong women In England. Most Eng-lishmen of llfty have been marriedat least, three times." Pillet had beenai prisoner of war in England and

, Tubllshed this work in revenge, it wasso full of llbelous statements that Its•circulation was forbidden by the.French government, and tho few cop-lies available brought very high prices.

Apparently the English did not con-aider tho work very dangerous, us acopy was secured for tho British mu-seum.

MR. CQGGS' TESTIMONIALThe L ughabli Story of a Gift That Did'nt Meet With Approval

Mr. Coggs stood outside the Car-riers' Arms In an exceedingly gloomsmood. The circle of customers inthat hostelry had chanced to be tooInhospitable that 'night. Their dense-ness in falling to see that Mr. Coggs1

glass was empty was appalling. Eventhe landlord, when Mr. Cogps had or-dered something on his own account,had replied, "Not of a Thursday, Joe,unless I see the color of your moneyfirst."

So Mr. Coggs, .after stating bluntlyto-the-aBscmbled-dMe-that-ncvor-ln-f-inapeotorT-ttnd-lmrrled—forth-to-make-his life had he bean possessed ofsuch a thirst, received no answersave from a sarcastic individual whostated that the oest way to controla thirst like t>at was to suck a peb-ble. It was this advice that hadsent Mr. Coggs out in a fit of theblackest melancholy.

"Pebb^s, Indeed!" murmured Mr.Coggs. "I'd like to ' shove pebblesdown dome blighters' throats." Fora moment he meditated hurling abri',k through the windows of therriserly establishment, or of going Inind punching the heads of a fewclose-Hsted customers. But on recall-ing that the landlord was the eS-lieavyweight champion of the Mid-lands, Mr. Coggs decided that It wasbetter to be discreet. Then athought occurred to him. Othermen's, wives saved out of their house-keeping money. Mrs. Coggs did riot—largely owing to the fact that heramiable husband frequently omittedto give her any.

"If she'd been a careful, savingwoman,", reflected Mr. Coggs, 'I'dnever have been at a loss for a tan-ner for a drink. I've a good mindto go home and punch her head." Hepaused for n moment to consider th<Idea, and then added, "And I > jollywell will, too."

Full of enthusiasm for the noblecause of economy Mr. Coggs darteddown a dark passage which was ashort cut to his home. All at oncetwo struggling men banged into himIn the -darkness and one stampedviciously on his toe.

"A fight!" shouted Mr. Coggs. "I'llteach you to come fighting jne. I'mready for you!"

He gripped the nearest person bythe throat, one! in a moment was en-gaged in n fierce struggle. His opponent kicked and fought, but Mr.Coggs kept his throat grip, andfinally the combatants swayed to thoground with Mr. Coggs on top.

"Now I'll knock your bloominghead off for kicking like that!" saidMr. Coggs, and with a slight disre-gard foi' sportsmanship bo knelt ontho prostrate man's chest and Him-ply ralnod blows on his hnail.

Ho was still engaged in this Intor.estlng occupation when tho sound of

contrary to their - personal feelings.Mr. Cogga accepted their apologieswith easy( affability. He shook handsin most conUal fashion with a youngconstable who had come into contactwith him professionally only a coupleof months since, and who conse-quently lacked a front tooth.

Then Mr. Coggs, with great pres-ence of mind, stated that he wouldhe sure to lose a day's work if lieappeared at the police court the next

The Rector shook hands mostwarmly with Mr. Coggs, placed himat his right"hand, 'and then beganv-"Our respected Chief Constable hasasked me to make a few remarks ofan Introductory character on this In-teresting occasion. May I say thatI am gratified, highly gratified, to behere to-day.

The news of his exploit had. al-ready spread through Burdeston. Ithad' arrived at the Carriers' Arms inrather an exaggerated form. Mr.Coggs had single-handed arrested amiscreant who had killed one, two,three—the stories varied somewhat—policemen.

Mr. Coggs was the hero of thesaloon bar, not merely of the tap-room. People disputed loudly withone another which should have thehonor of filling his glass. Even thegentleman who had recommendedpebbles as thirst soothers was eager,and Mr. Coggs decided not to bearmalice towards Mm. The landlordonly expressed public opinion whenhe said, "We're proud of you, Mr.Coggs. Burdeston is proud of you,and if there's any public spirit in thiatown they'll get up a handsome tes-timonial for you. Gents all, I giveyou the health of Mr. Coggs—onepf the very best"

"That' testimonial oughtpurse of gold," suggestedcustomer.

"That's it," said the landlord. "I'lldo all I can for it." Perchance thewily landlord perceived that indirect-ly the purse of gold would be pre-sented to himself.

The next day Mr. Coggs had tomake his appearance at the policecourt in a new role. Except that hewas greeted with abnormal friendli-ness, .which almost seemed forced, bythe pqllce officials, and that he au-

and_pcolangedThe Chief Constable' stepped for-

We thoughtsome permanent belonging for yourhome would be the best thing for ourpresent. Whenever you look upon itI hope that yon will think that theBurdeston police force remember thegood old saying 'One good tea-urndeserves another.'" ~

The Chief Constable paused to lethis pun go home.

"Excellent—excellent!" said theRector. In the meantime, Mr. Coggsstood aghast with hia eyes fixed onthe tea-urn.

Coryza is an Inflammation of themucous membrane lining the cavitiesof the nasal passages, and may beeither of the acute or chronic va-riety. In its acute form It IB gener-ally called "a cold in the head." Tha.reason for this is that, given certainconditions of the system which ten--to inflamed mucous membrane', thoacute attack can very often be tracedto exposure, to cold, draughts ordamp. It can perhaps just~as oftenbe traced to heat, dust and stuffiness,but" whatever may be the final touch'lrlB-certaln-tha(rthe~vlctinrorcoryza~was in a condition In -which hispowers of resistance were re-duced or he could not have "caughtcold." . 'i It Is of great Importance, says the"Youth's Companion," that these peo-ple who spend many months of theyear traveling from one attack ofcoryza to another should learn juatwhere to place the blame for theirtrouble. It is a pity to get Into thehabit of blaming every open door or•window or dreading every unexpectedbreath of air, because this only leadsto the course of life most to be avoid-ed. If a person finds himself withthe "catching cold"1 habit increasing•winter by winter, depend upon It thereis something wrong,. and that Bome-ithing is not fresh air, because thatis the very thing he, of all people,most needs. In such a case'the dallyhabits should be carefully overhauled.

Does the sufferer overeat, and es-pecially does he take too much ani-mal food and too little exercise? Thismistake Is at the root 'of the coryzahabit in many cases. It is simpl^the sign of rebellion on the part ofthe overloaded system. Often thetrouble may be traced to too muchheavy clothing, to rooms kept toowarm, and to an atmosphere, driedup with, steam heat and no ventila-tion. People who sleep in shut upstuffy bedrooms ought to live In astate of grateful surprise if theydo not have constant Colds.

The change that can be producedIn the human constitution In thla re-spect by n continuous course of com-mon sense applied to dally life Is al-most like miracle working. But thocourse must bo begun to-day and keptup at least 365 days in the year. Thecold catcher must pay minute atten-tion to the digestive process,, and laprobably better off to oat meat notmoro than onco a diiy nt the most.His bedroom window must stay openwinter and summer, not two Inches,but all the wny open. He must accus-tom himself to cold, water bathing.Thin does not necessarily mean Icewater bathing. A bath thermometerIs n cheap purchase, and 65 de-grees Is cold enough for most per-BOI1B.

Deep, Blow breathing with thomouth closed should he constantlypracticed, ami never more f a i t h f u l l yt h a n al the moment when n coldBoeniH to bo In the act 'of ge l l ing I t -self "caught."

THE GPACE AND DUTY OFMERCY.

Luke 6: 36-42.The Great Preacher in His Great

Sermon touches on many frailties inman, but on none with more severitythan on the failure to show mer|Long before Paul wrote so glowingof Christian charity, the MastHimself discoursed with a gravitone on the offices of love nnd thvagaries of an unloving heart. Th

-theme-of—this-Gospel—Lesaon-lsr-Th'jGrace and Duty of Mercy. Jesusfirst shows how admirable it is, incommending to us the example ofHis heavenly Father,—our Father,too,—and then shows how blamewor-thy *is the lack of'it , using words ofextraordinary terseness,and emphasis.

Mercy Taught by Example

What more natural than that chil-dren should take their father as anexample? What a loving HeavenlyFather we have? The Old Testa-ment saints were overwhelmed withthe sense of His goodness, Mosessang, "The Lord is merciful, and thyGod is a merciful God. He will notforsake the'e neither destroy thee, norforget the covenant of thy fatherswhich He swore unto them." AndMoses had full forty years of dailyobservation of God's covenent igercytowards the children of Israel. ThePsalmist Sings of the Lord as "merciful and gracious, slow to anger ancplenteous in mercy." David's woreis, "But thou, O Lord, art a God, ful lof compassion, and gracious, long-suffering and plenteous in mercy, andtruth." Jehorah's mercy is a favor-ite theme ajjd a classical example.Jesus but sharpens the Impression,when He points out that the Highestdoes not keep His kindnesses for

. them, alone that love Him, but al-lows His love to overflow upon theunthankful and the evil. He makethHis sun to rise on the evil as wellas on the good, nnd sendeth His rainupon the just nnd the unjust alike.Could love and mercy go any farther?Wherefore, beloved In Christ, let usdiligently study our Bibles, and thuslive much with our Heavenly Father,thnt we ns "tho children of tho High-est" may take on His loving disposi-tion and lend lives fu l l of compas-sion and tender kindness.

Mercy is one of tho Christiangraces. It adorns the character. It

had not said, "Thou shalf not kill."So here, the "judge not," "condemnnot," throw a flood of light upon thenatural depravity of the humanheart. How nimbly we vault intothe seat of the judge. How self-sat-isfied our behaviour when" there. It,is most delightful and flattering toour infirm nature to hall our fellow-men before the bar of justice, totear the mask from him, to lay barebis secret acts and hidden motives,to weigh his actions in the balances,to measure him by the inflexiblestandard of perfect righteousness, tolook grave at our discoveries, to setforth the law with exact phrase, and

announce the verdict with an air'allibillty. And at times there

•.e of malice about it too, astve had gotten our enemy

der to save his own. flocksv Why mul-1tlply examples? The parable is b lunt -enough, to make an impression, andyet sharp enough to cut to the quick.It is the Saviour's last effort to res-cue the children of the Highest fromthe unlovely vice of perpetual fault-finding, when their time and strengthwould be better employed In mendingtheir own greater faults. The Spiritof truth ^nd love give us grace notto0be depressed by tho result of ourself-examination, but to cultivate dil-igently that mercy which was ex-hibited to perfection /'when - Jesuswas here among men."—-"(W.

the man,from his

knees praying, "Forgive us our tres-passes as we forgive them that tres-pass against us." The law Is not forsuch to handle. .They need the Cos-

clearness Pel wltn lts gracious, softening Influ-ences, its spirit of charity and for-giveness. They need to go to schoolto the meek and lowly Master whoteaches, "Judge not," "Condemnnot," "Forgive." At whatever costthey must get out of the habit ofcensoriousness and mercilessness.They must not be hard upon theirfellows, nor prone to pick flaws intheir conduct, nor ready to take of-fense, nor stern in the treatment ofeven those who have given them justcause of displeasure, nor indlctivenor unreconcilable, for are not allthese things violations of the law oflove laid down by the Master, andpracticed by Him too? Contrari-wise, the disciple of Christ shouldbe "gentle, easy to be entreated, fullof mercy and good fruits."

With a touch of that wisdom thatshines in Solomon's Proverbs, agreater than Solomon bids us countthe cost- Censoriousness begets cen-sorioushess, hardness begets hard-ness. : Only the actually perfect mancan venture with impunity on sucha method of dealing with his fellows,and he will not, for he would be asHis Father In heaven. But for per-sons as fallible as the most of us, itbehooves them to walk more circum-spectly and humbly. As I hope tohave my errors overlooked, my of-fences pardoned, and my reputationgenerously dealt with, 1 must firstset the example of charity and for-giveness.

Kvon' when we have not to do withthe real or Imagined offences of ourfellowmon, we have to do with theirnecessities, and here mercy shouldhave Its perfect work. To drawiiwny from a soeno of misery andwant in order to spare our sensitivefeelings, or to relievo our backs orour purses of the burden, Is to bo-have In inn un-Chrlst lan way.

When Paul and Silas tried to preachthe Gospel in Tnesdalonica the Jewsraised a mob against then), crying,"These that have turned the worldupside down are come hither also."(Acts 17: 6:) It wiis a just accusationfor once: these men were turning theworld upside down. But it was becausethe world was wrong side up, and itbadly needed to be turned upsidedown in order to be put right side up.

The world's ideas were false and itsdeeds were consequently evil. Its heartwas set on the things of this life andit had no knowledge of spiritualthings. Pride and selfishness were itsruling passions, and it had no higherideal by which to correct these passlons or keep them in subjection. Thehighest aim it had was to havesomething worthy of being proud of.

The Sermon on the Mount whichJesus preached almost at the begin-ning of His ministry was His formaldeclaration of the principles on whichHe intended to build His kingdom andt was a complete contradiction andipsetting of all the Ideas and ideals

of the world. And at various times af-terward He reiterated the thoughts ex-pressed in the Sermon on the Mounto Impress them upon the minds of

His diciples.He taught that nobility consists in

service and that wealth is not acquir-ed by getting hut by giving; that hu-m i l i t y and weakness, not pride and,self-assertion, aro the quali t ies thatindicate greatness of soul.

"Whosoever would hecome greatamong you shall he your minister (ser-v a n t ) ; and whosoever would be firstamong you, shall be .servant (bond-servant) of all."

"Hlossed aro the meek." "Blessedare tliey t h a t aro persecuted forrighteousness' sake." "Blessed arethey that mourn."

weaknesses and the consequencesyielding to temptation.

Throughout that history we see thatman at his best is a weak, foolishcreature unless he puts himself underthe direction of the Spirit of God.And throughout that history we seeThat God Is very patient and veryanxious to win man's love, loyaltyand hearty obedience, but that He willsurely punish those who (persist inrebellion against Him. We' see, too,

of bear witness to UK of the authorityl of any messnge from God to our'soui: if we are really anxious to knowand obey the voice of God. But whenwe are unwilling or indifferent, we

A Representative Selection.

The special Grand Jury, drawnby the Elisors, Wm. M. Clevenger,and Wm. L. Black, assembled onTuesday last, at the' Court House.Six of the twenty-four are -fromHammonton, viz : Messrs. HenryM. Phillips, Wm. J. Smith, JohnA. Burgan, Wilbur R. Tilton,Wm. Colwell, Laton M. Parkhurst.It is understood that this jury willhave as special work, investigationsinto violations of the election law ;and if ail its members are as trust-worthy as those from Hammonton;we may depend upon justice beingdone—so far as can be with theevidence available.

No one outside of the jury-roomknows what is being done, and thedaily papers endeavor to keep theirreaders amused by guesses andrumors that have 110 other found-ation than the imagination ofwriters.

Central Park.

After two attempts, well adver-tised, the Board of Education havefailed to find a purchaser for thedwelling house and other buildingson the Tiltou-DePuy property.What to do about it is a problemupon which the Board seems to bedivided.

A proposition has been made touse the main building for a publiclibrary and Civic Club room,—allowing it to remain where it nowstands. The details have not beenarranged.

We do not like this. The prop-erty was purchased by the Districtin order to clear the way fromBellevue Avenue to the schoolbuildings,-thiH being clearly statedat the meeting which authorizedthe deal. To carry out their in-structions, the Board must removethe buildings, close SchoolhouseLane, and make of the property 'anopen park or public square. Toleave the house there, for anyreason, would defeat the object ofthe purchasers. As removal toanother location seems impractical,because of trees and shrubbery, noone will buy the buildings; hencetheir demolition Hccms to be theonly alternative. , Remove anddispose of the internal fixtures, teardown the structures, nnd removethe debrin in time to improve thegrounds before school opens inSeptember.

That, in our opinion, is the onlyway to carry out the intention ofthe voters. It WHS not bought aan speculation ; It is not for rent; toclear and open the space in the onething desired,

Consider the Fly.Consider the house-fly ; give the

lily a rest. It toils not, neitherdoes it spin, and it's always aroundto see that you and your wife arenot permitted either to toil or tospin with any degree of comfort orsafety.

The fly is a shameless vagabond,with the dust of death orf his feet.Fancy the amusement of the fly ashe winks an argus eye at the tan-gle-foot on the window ledge, andflits lightly from the back-yarddrain to thb cradle in the nursery.

Scorning parental responsibilitieshimself (and herself), the fly hasmade a specialty of administeringpoison to human babies. The flyappears immune to all calamitiesshort of a hammer blow, which isquite likely to break the mirrorbefore or after killing the fly, ormissing it.; yet on the hair of itslegs and under its . translucentwings are stored all the germs ofdisease with which it has come incontact during a. day of constantand detailed investigation.

The pretty little fly will saunterthroughout the aisles of loathsom-ness and come forth to shake him-self on your lower l ipi j He iscosmopolite, hobnobbing with thegarbage can and the custard pie,the cess-pool and the cherry pud-ding. The best circles admit or donot repel him. ' He is intimate,not casual, reveling now in the earof a diphtheria patient and but tenminutes Inter on the bald head ofa banker: he knpws the gutterwithout and the laithe meiit market, apost which unites t

jb-chops withinid is the parcellem. From the

middle of the street to the frui tHtand is u favorite flit for the fly,and his love of filth makes himlike to tv««li his feet in the milk—aparadox whereby he spreads theiilth,—before he goes back formore.

We have considered the fly ; letus henceforth abjure him. Un-questionably, the fly had once ivuseful miwflion, juHt as the oldspinning wheel and liryun, but tin-world has outgrown flies: theymust go.

Down in Panama, vultures usedto share the streets with the nakedbabies, un t i l the Americans camewith modern sanitation and mos-quito netting,— incidents whichstarved the vultures and clothedHOIIIU of th« children.

We can baninh the fly, and willdo so when we realize the peril itconstltutm. We can put up HIMVCHHnt once, and apply the final exter-minator as soon as science, in re-sponse to our insistent demands,dlscovent it.

THE STRENGTHOF QUIETNESS

Tljere are few or us who escapeduring our lives those critical times

I when we have no idea where the\next s'tep will lead us. We are like,-people walking an unfamiliar path inthe dark of the moon. We are trav-elers on country roads with thicketsand forests surrounding us, whilethere is never a friendly light to boseen. What shall we do? To whomshall -we call for advice?

In the thirtieth chapter of Isaiahwe find a very remarkable passagein which text after text has an appli-cation of fitness to modern days as

~It~hlfd~To~the"~days~of old. -"Theirstrength is to sit still." "In return-Ing and rest ye shall be saved." "Inquietness and confidence shall beyour strength." "Thine ears shallhear a word behind thee, saying thltis the way, walk ye In it." What isthe meaning of returning when takenin conjunction with rest? Is it notthat the soul having tried other helpswhich have proved but broken reedsmust return to the One who ismighty to save and who can suit helpto every extremity? In such return-ing there is always rest.

When we cease to fret, to wear

1,000' years old. And God's fidelityto the covenant of nature, here nowalmost 3,000 years after David hadmade the nineteenth Psalm, hadbrought the glorious creature of thesky Into the field of Harvard Col-lege's instrument Just as the patientclock reached the second needed forthe truth of the ancient prediction.

Need I say that these two profes-sors almost wondered—so used tosuch things were they—at the awe-struck devotion, the hushed rever-ence with which I left the room."

THE ARITHMETIC OF GOD

ourselves out in agitation, to wonder•what to do and where to go, and sim-ply wait for the Lord's leading, peaceflows in upon our troubled heartsand we grow in strength. Ourstrength is to sit still. When onehas been ill and has lost a portionof accustomed vigor it often happensthat ''the physician orders entire ces-sation of effort. The convalescentmust be contented to await the re- ]turn of health, to lie in quietness andto be waited upon by others. Some-times there is aagainst this* and

natural rebellionremonstrance is

made on the score of giving troubleto^rj^nds and relatives- The doctoris Inexorable, "You will give - montrouble by and by," is his reply, "ifyou are not willing to give a littletrouble now."

— We have- seen the-truth of this- 11--lustrated over and over where thebody Is concerned. It is just as muchthe case where the mind and heart-are Involved. The mind influencesthe body in health and in sicknessalike, and no one can afford to un-derrate the power of the mental statein any labor whether of the handsor the brain. Let us often say toourselves in the beginning of a dayor a week, when engagements arenumerous, and duties seem to be inconflict, our strength shall be to sitstill, to wait upon the Lord, and tolisten the word that tells us, thisla the way.

GOD'S FIDELITY TO THE COVE-NANT OF NATURE.

A writer In "The Christian" re-lates the following IntereHtlng atory.

"Once as I entered iho observa-tory .at Harvard College, ut the cloneof diiy, u friend who had led mothere naked If I might lio shownthe new Ins t rument Hint had jutitbeen introduced. Tho professor re-

The lad with the loaves and fisheswas willing to give up his lunch."Subtracting" it from himself, he"added" it to the resources of Jesus.Jesus "divided" the gift that it mightbe distributed, and in the division itivas~~ "multiplied" until'""the—great-thing was fed; So there Is a divinearithmetic. Some of its rules may behinted at here.

Add to what spiritual resources youhave all the increase you can get.The Christian is to grow in knowl-edge, to Increase in faith, to add pow-er to power. Do not try to add thatwhich will reduce the total of yourpossessions. To add greed reducesgenerosity. Gaining envy, you losegratitude. If you find ease, you willfind your place given to another.

Subtract from your life all thatwould keep you from God. Take awayself, and you have more power forservice. Remove the sensual, and Itsplace may be filled with holy beauty.Give up your own will, and you can bemaking effective the greatest will ofall, the will of God.

Divide your joys, and double them:divide your sorrows, and they de-crease. Give freely of all God can

;ive you, and discover how God cangive new blessings, filling up your lifefaster than you can empty it.

Multiply your gifts by your pray-ers: your faith by your work: yourinfluence by your example: your ser-vice by your sympathy; your love byyour devotion.

CHRIST'S GENTLE-NESS IN REBUKE

"Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thouMe?" (John 21: 15.) No word heroof the erring disciple's past faithlessness—his guilty cowardice—uh-mentioned—his base denial, his oathsand curses, and treacherous deser-tion—-all unmentloned! The memoryof a threefold denial is suggested,and no more, by the threefold ques-tion of unutterable tenderness, "Si-mon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me?"

When Jesus finds His disciplessleeping at the gate of Gejhsemane,He.irebukes them; but how is the re-buke disarmed of its poignancy bythe merciful apology which Is addedi^"Th>r spirit"" in<leed-ls~--willingr-butthe flesh is weak!" How. differentrom their unkind insinuation regard-

ing jllm, when, In the vessel on Ti-berias, "He was asleep—Master, car-est Thou not that we perish!"

The woman of Samaria is full ofearthllness, carnality, sectarianism,gnilt. Yet how gently the Saviourspeaks to her—how forbearingly, yetfai thful ly . He directs the arrow ofconviction to tha^ seared and hard-ened conscience, till He lays it bleed-ing at His feet! Truly, "He will notbreak the bruised reed—He will notquench the smoking flax." By "thegoodness of God," He would Ifiad torepentance. When Others are speak-ing of merciless violence, He can dis-miss the most guilty of profligateswith the words, "Neither do I con-demn thee; go, and sin no more."

How many have an unholy, pleasurein finding a brother in the wrong—blazing abroad bis failings; adminis-tering rebuke, but with harsh and im-patient severity! How beautifullydid Jesus unite intense sensibility tosin, along with tenderest compassionfor the sinner, showing in this thatHe knoweth our frame!

Many a scholar needs gentleness

CAN,YOU SAY THIS?I am an immortal spirit! My home

is in Heaven. My Father Is God. MyElder Brother is my Saviour, my bestfriend—the. maker of Heaven andearth. I belong to both time and eter-nity. I am only loaned to the world,for a brief time, to Illumine a portionof its night. My Father bids me shine.My days hero are all known to God.My life is "immortal till my work isloni!."

Nothing can happen to me exceptby. His permission, and Ho undertakesto overrule all of my mistakes. "Mytimes are in His hands. I am here do-ng business for Him. Up yonder on

His kingly throne He Is keeping thebooks. He notes well- all my service,all my sacrifice. He commands my'eet,-and-thoy-move;-He~charges-my-ips, and they speak; He touches my

hand, and they at once spring Into mo-Ion. He fllls my heart with His love,hus making It both holy and harm-less. He fills my days with His Joy,and illumines my path with His truth, j

GOD'S THOUGHT FOR THE ANI-MALS AND FOR US.

Psalm 104: 10-31.

The psalmist pictures the animalswaiting on God for their food andshows how God provided for theirneeds—trees to shelter the nests ofblrds,_Jiigh_moAin_tBlns_a8jafe_:cefugeB-_for wild goats and rocks as protec-tion for the conies, and so on. This-s not a mere poetic 'fancy, for Jesus-taught His disciples that It IB God.who feeds the birds and who paints-the lilies. And He used the fact that

He comforts my heart with His | God planned in creation for the pre-Spirit; He enlightens my soul withHis word; He maps out my path, Heenables me to walk in His will, andthe centre of His will is my highestearthly heaven. He bids me to be of"good -cheer." I live on His bounty;I revel In His smile; 1 feast on Hislove; I nestle in His heart. The "ever-lasting arms" are my support.

He feeds me with manna fromHeaven: He commands His angles togarrison me about; He fights my""bat-tlss, until all my enemies are sub-dued. He washes me in the blood ofHlu Son; He Imparts and imputesunto me the righteousness of Christ:He freely gives to me grace accord-ing to my need; He enthrones-Christin my heart, so that "for me to live isfor Christ to live."

He gives me His peace and letsme call It mine: He fills me with Hisimpulses and ambitions; "His gentle-ness makes me great." His Interestsare all Identical with mine; I have

"KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, BUTLOVE BUILDETH UP."

—A.—striking-contrast is drawn bythe Record of Christian Work be-tween the labors of a colporteur inColorado and "a well-paid destructivecritic in a magnificently housed theo-logical seminary." The colporteurreports: "In eight months I havemade 21,714 visits and sold 973 Bi-bles, 357 Testaments and 265 por-tions. I am now on my way to Mont-rose, camping out. It Is cold andsnowing and I cannot find a place towrlto." It is stated that "much ofthis man's work, is above timber line,among; miners, and he must oftenpack his own bedding. He says thatprices, too, are above timber linesand that he eats but two meals, yethis l lvlna costs him a dollar daily,l ie is working for forty dollars amonth."

HOW TO COOK RICE.

The Chinese method of cookingrice differs from that of the ordinaryhousewife, and the rice when done,nstead of being a mushy, sticky

paste, is spotlessly white, perfectlydry, with each grain standing by it-self.

Three weeks passed. Three weeksof nerve-torturing suspense and un-certainty, and still no news from thocommittee.

Then early one morning the doctorrushed In excitedly, waving a newspa-per.

"There's your picture," he shouted.As Maurice gazed 'on his work,

placed so conspicuously and to thef u l l advantage of tho light beatingdown from the great glass dome over-head, his heart was filled with a sud-den rush of awe and feeling.

"Good heavens, Elsie," he said Ina honrno whlnper, "what nn InspirationI had whon I painted that.""

few moments, looking alternately atthe man and the tiger, evidently try-ing his best lo reconcile the two.

"Now, young man," ne finally said,"you need-not take this animal un-less, you want to, for there are thosehere who will take it off yourhands."

"I don't want to sell," was thequiet reply.

"What on earth are you going todo with such an ugly beast If youhave no show of your own and arenot buying for someone w'ho Is ashowman?"

"Well, I'll tell you," said the pur-chaser. "My wife died about threeyears ago. We had lived together forten years, and—and I miss her."

Town Council Meeting.

An adjourned meeting was heldon Tuesday evening, i8th inst.,'allmembers being present.

The Clerk read the curbing andsidewalk ordinance which hadpassed first reading at last meeting.Mr. White offered an amendmentdefining the concrete to be used,and it was adopted; also another,allowing the use of gravel "or othersuitable material" between concrete>valk and property line. The or-dinance then passed second readingby a unanimous vote.

Mr. Wood moved that the ordin-ance pass third and final' readin3.

Clerk then read a^iiotest, signedby twentyrtwo property owners onBellevue Avenue between FourthStreet-aud-MainJR.oad_;-stating-thatmost of the places within thoseboundaries were farms, not resi-dence lots; that as their street lineswere very long, it would be a hard-ship for them to be compelled toput in the required curbing andwalks; asked that so much of Belle-vue be excepted this year. Asimilar protest came from Mrs.T. B. Drown, on Egg Harbor Road.Miss Anna Cogley entered a verbalprotest in the name of the estate.

A prolonged debate followed,participated in very vigorously byMessrs. H. M. Phillips, LoamiMonfort, Win. J. Smith, A. J. Rider,Orville Bassett, T. R. Evanp, Dr.J. A. Waas, R. G. Scudder, E. W.Batchelor, J. B. Seely, G. W.Bassett, H. Kirk Spear.-t-t eside

•>ers of Council.S remembered that an ordin-

ance cannot be amended afterpassing second reading. On motionthe vote was reconsidered.

Another debate followed, on theamendment to omit the upper endof Bellevue, for a year.

While considering a motion topass second reading, Mr. Whiteijave notice that he desired to offerseveral amendments and movedthat an adjourned meeting be heldon Friday evening, aist inst. Sovoted? ;
