The way this counterfeit vas discovered was at

God Imagcd In Man.

So it ever is. The true Man is at
once Shekinah and Commentary; and
the Augustest Verities take form and
find expression not less in what he
is than what he says. The seer as
well as what is seen, the prophet as
well as tho prophecy, the messenger
rs we'll as the message, the apostle
as well as the opistle, arc freighted
with revelations of God. And, i'll

and by every utterance which has
leapcd from his lips in answer to the
broodings and moving of the Holy
Ghost upon responsive nature, tho
Everlasting Gates are being lifted
up, and we have II nearer and clearer
view Of the King of Glory, who waits
for faith md love, for pure heart and
the clean hand, which shall one day
usher him in. And I am sure one

that he has, somehow, been

Man, and that u key has been fur
nished with which ho can better un-
lock eternal secrets it holds, and get
a more vital Interpretation out Of
That old, old Story Of the Cross.
Down beneath all that looks like
tho simple, ordinary routine of life,
in tho secret chamber, where ono
stands face to faco with this real
man, form appears, voice speaks,

The Day Of Rest.

Never was there more blessed in
stitution than the Sunday, the sacred
day of rest from labor. For tho
souls hoalth and tho body's health
of tho human rnce, on at least ono
day in the seven there should be an
evor-recurring intermission Of daily
toll. Thus, let u man attain to tho
period Of three score years and ton
he has gained holiday of ten years
duration, even his lot has been labor
for tho rcmaing three score years. Lot
childhood be taught to use, and man
hood discreetly used, this blessed
breathing time, as day on which to
raiso the thoughts beyond tho world
not less than for rest from labor and

Fifteen Great Mistakes.

It is a great mistake to SGT up our
own standard of right and wrong,
and judge people accordingly. 1t is
q great mistake to measure tho ell.
joymont OF others by our own; to OK
psct uniformity Of opinion in this
world; to endoavor to mould all dis
positions alike; not to yield in i'm
material triiles; to look for perfection
in your own action; to worry our
seIves and others with what cannot
be remedied; not to alleviate all that
needs alienation, as far as lies i'll
our power; not to mako allowances
for the infrmitios Of others: to con-
slider everything impossible which
We cannot perform; to believe only
what our finito minds can grasp; to
expect to bo able to understand
everything. Tho greatest Of all mis-
takes is 10 live only for the time,
when any moment may launch us in
to eternity.

The Science OF Advertising.

Julicious advertising always
pays.
II you have u good thing, adver-
iise it. II you haven't, don't.
Large type isn't necessary in adj
vertising. Blind folks don't read
newspapers.
Don't he afraid TO invest in prin-
ter's ink, lest your sands Of life be
nearl y run out
Mover run down your opponents
goods in public. Let him do his
own advertising.
Let your advertisements have
something of tho dash in them,
without great eXaggoratioA.
You can't ont enough in one
week to last you whole year, and
you can't advertise ON that plan
either.
It's as true Of adver ising rs Of
anything else in the world-lf it is
worth doing at all, it is worth doing
well.
Hand. bills and circulars aro good
of their kind, but they cannot take
the place of newspaper advertise
monts.
lnjudicious advertising is like
fishing whore there's no fish. You
need to let tho lines fall in the right
place.
No bell cn ring 80 loudly rs a
good advertisement. People will
believe what they SEQ rather than
what they hear.
Small advertisements, and plenty
of them, il agood rule. We were
all babies once, yet we made con.
siderable noise.
When you advertise, see that you
do it on the same principle that you
5uy goods Get tho most you cur
for the money.
We don't recommend advertising
rs the best way to get wife but W,
know that it is tho best way TO got
II good trade.
Pooplo who advertise only once
in three months forget that mos
folks can't remember anything long
or than about seven days.
If you can arouse curio.ity by ar
advertisement, 1t is II great point
gained. Tho fair sex don't hold alI
the curiosity III the world.
A constant dropping will wear Il
rock. Keep dropping your adver
tisoments ON the public and they
will soon melt under it liko rocl
salt.
Quitting advertising in dull time
is like tearing out dam bccnus
the water is low. Either plan vii
prevent good times from owe
coming.
"DnIl times it is said, "nro th
; best for advertisers" because whcI
money is tight, md tho people ar
forced to economics, they alway
read the advertisements TO ascer
tain who sells the cheapest, an
whero they can trade TO tho bos
advantage.
According to the character o
extent Of your business, set aside
liberal percentage for advertising
Keep yourself increasingly before
the public and it matters not what
business of utility you may be en-
gagged in, Tor, if intolljgcntly anC
industrionsly pursued, II fortune
will bo the result.
Tho man who adycrtiscs shows
not only II business talent above his
no;Shbors, but he may bo ut once
rcckoned among the Independent
generous and rublicspititod Of th,
community. Ho who hides his
light under u bushcl, when such nd
ynntages as those ut present afford
cd are 80 frooly offered him, does
not deserve to succeed.

Good Advice.

Speak well of your noighbors, OF
do not speak ofthem at all, A cross
noighbor may bo made kind one
by kind treatment. Tho true way to
be happy is to make others happy.
To do good is a luxury. Ifyou are
not wiser and better ut the end Of
tho day, that day is lost. Practice
kindness, even il it TO but little oach
day, Learn something each day,
even if it bo but to sIoll u word. Do
not seem to bo what you are not.
Learn to control your temper and
words. Say nothing behind ono's
back that you would not say to ones
facc.

The mortal part Of man cannot
give Immortality to any Of its works.
Our bodies are porishable, and their
creations necessarily partake of their
transient nature. Therefore, the
works Of the body polish with the
body, or soon thereafter. Tho treas
uros that man may hoap up, and the
palaces he may build, together with
everything else he may do to crafty
his pride and ambition, pass away.
His friends also die with him, and
he is no more known to earth while

sees the letters and figures on the

But put them all aside,
And toned, ah yes, beyond my strength,
That she my pet might shine,
A brilliant star among her ret,

Leaves me now for tho fashion.
And Sunday mornings, John, you know,
When they were fair a. nd young,
Our children filled the corner pow,
Folks said show well they sung, :"
