Saco. Pulpit supplied by Rev. J. Stew
ems, F. w. B. Text Peter 8. "whom
having not seen We love in whom though
now We see him not, yet believing. We re-
joice with joy unspeakable and full
of glory" l. The speaker presented
Christ rs the object Of love. All true
Christians accept him as the object Of their
highest regards, Christ first, Christ in the
centre and Christ last alpha and omega.
Love to Christ is the great grand char
ncterestic Of Christian life. and is the
prominent identity Of Christian character.
Love is the esscnse OF true Christian ex-
pcrience. Love is of God. Men Of the
world do not love God they at best can
only Ike him, and this from motives alb
solutely selfish. Infdels dread him, they
do not, they cannot love being which
their theory would annihilate. If the
love Of the world l, in YOU. the love of the
Father is not. The Christian loves the
word of God, and loves to study its sac
red pages, because the divine character is
therein revealed. He loves him in his
providences, affective or merciful.
Christians love one another. being knit
together in love. The Christians heart
beat in unison with the benevolent heart
of the great Master, which yearns to save
the world. Harlem Page labored with
earnest diligence to save souls. and was
the honored instrument Of bringing a
hundred wretchcd ones TO Christ. 2. How
are we to attain to this love. not by sight,
we cannot see him the faith that accepts
Christ without sight is the sure medium,
and Is stronger than sight. We have not
and cannot see him. and yet, believing,
shall reach the grand result viz. rejoice
with joy unspeakable and full Of glory.
We will not DO over anxious for hun to
come. but viii believe. labor and wait.
not rs the lazy man waits for the day to
pass but will love and serve him until
he comes, then the grand result will DO

The Value Of being a Doorkeepel
at Washington.

The mere value of residence here is
esteemed rs so much moncy-right, because
you may board with q Senator, lend n
horse to sergeant-at-arms, or know a
door-keeper well. and this involves the
possible right to demand u favor Of the
federal State.
"Do you want five thousand dollars
down in check?" said man to another
once in my hearing. "Here 1t is. Iwant
somebody in the Senate to propose to take
up the bill making seven new judge advo-
Gates. don't want you to see it pass, be-
cause here are seven Of US who have fixed
all that. It's bound to pass! We only
want some one Senator TO Lift 1t up,
Whom do you know?"
This was the last hours Of the session
Suppose you lived here and had entertain
ed Senator Enoch Of Hindoocush with a
soft crab lunch; what more easy than tc
slip up to the doorkeeper, and say. Take
this card to Enoch;" see Enoch come be-
nevolcnt through the door; then say,
Senator, my nephew depends upon this
bill being raised; vote as you please, only
move to lift It; did you enjoy those crabs''
And. presto, there is $1,000 down, merely
for knowing one man.
So large is the power of the Federal
Congress becoming. that to be door

possess chance to obtain offices, privi

Good "Mrs. winslow's Soothing Syrup"
is catching Il all round. 1t seems that an
analysis Of the same showed that its
soothing" properties consisted Of narcot-
les. which. taken in large dozes would
have the effects Of poison. The Provi-
Herald says The real Mrs. "Winslow,"
whose benign countenance beams forth
from the label Of every bottle Of this mix,
turc and inspires the mothers heart with
confidence, is, we gricvc to say, not of
the feminine gender, neither is she singu-
lar in number. As charity covereth n
multitude of sins. so the honest sounding
name of "Mrs. Winslown covers the per-
sonalities Of three robust druggists whose
abiding place is Brooklyn, and who from
their own sworn statements, each derive
an income Of $4,000 yearly from the
manufacture Of the syrup. All this mon
ey comes from n multitude of baby fu-
ncrals-from children soothcd into ever
lasting sleep by the deadly drugs and
compounds Of this blessed tranquilizer
which. according to the makers. should
be found in every household"
This dragging and narcotising ofinfants,
is supposed to arrest the development Of
the body. to impair the functions Of the
brain. and to greatly shorten life. besides
creating an early appetite which leads to
opium eating. or stimulating in the form
Of alcoholic liquors. So the evil is mani
fold. and is daily growing worse. since 1t
gives us constantly increasing number
Of men and women who are not more than
half made up. or half developed-stunted
in growth. weak in physical powers pre-
vcrtcd in appetitcs, dull in intellect. with
a tendency to any pumber Of complaints.

Mrs. Dahlgren. wife of Admiral Dahl

Mrs. Dahlgren. wife OF Admiral Dani-
grcn, has started movement in WASH
ington. for active opposition to the Won,-
an Suffrage party. Mrs. Sherman. wife
of Gen. Sherman, and a number Of ladies
beside, support the anti-woman suffrage
idea. They think the universal voice Of
the woman Of this country should be
heard upon the subject, and they feel as
sured that the result would be that an inn
mense majority Of their sex would DO
found to be opposed toaccepting the right
to vote, believing that such right would
bring with 1t burdens, duties and respon-
sibilities which would not only be dis
tasteful to the female sex, but Of char
acter which they are unwilling to assume.
