EsrY AND INTEGRITY. c-
Integri y is the foundation OF con-
ideoce, and confidence is the basis
of enterprise, aud enterprise is the
highway to prosperity. Without
faith it is impossible TO please mao
as we'll as God; withoGt faith we can
not engage in any WORTH under
taking or succeed 10 it. But faith
must have integrity to rest upon, or
it totters to tie ground. Besides in.
tesrity hasa value in itself, Said

him to fail of success, if he will
patiently and iDdustriousiy apply
nil self to his business. This is u
good authority for lsborcr and pro-

Integrity is capital; it is prime fac

THERE SHOULD BE MORE CHARITY.
| mean bo'h the narrow charity Of
aims giving, and also the broader
charity OF love to our neighbour
Says the Prophet, Execute true
Judgment, and show mercy aud
compassion every man to his broth
sr; Cypress not the widow nor the
fatterl SIS; the stranger nor the poor;
aud let none Of you Imagine evil in
your hearts against his brother" The
Savior says, "al things whatsoever
We would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them" Aud an
apostle, Look not every man on his
own things, but every man also on
the things of Others This is the
charity that "envieth NOT is not
pulled mp and "seekelh not her
owu;" it also "hopeth all things even
10 hard times, 'endureth all things"
aud "never faileth." This is the
spirit that Induced friends to pledge
their support to Claf1ln 4 Co., in New
York in case Of need; aud the 400
creditors of the Spragues in X. L. to
put their sff.irs into tbs hands OF
trustees for the benefit of all j.; while

HE that servant who laid hold on his
fellows servants, without any mercy,

pay me that thou owest," but went

We GU hit to look out for each
other more, to give good bargai rs as
we'll as make them, to pay our dues
as we'll as demand them, to give en-
ployment as well as seek it; in short

ests as really as our own. In tin e
of that shipwreck the sailors planned
to escape in The .oat and le've tn"
passengers to their fate; their narrow
self hness had no care for others, bu'
Paul declared, "except these abide
in the ship ye caOnot be saved and
the centurion prevented their escape.
Selfishness often works self-ruin;
while generous charity, wiling 10
make sacrifices, saves The unfUrtun-
ate, and is itself enriched IN so do

1t is now critical limc-a golden
mOmeur for the Christian to work.
AMIDST THE WRECK OF FORTUNES.
We must stand up and work for
mems hives; possessions must ind eed
be lost, but lives need not be; the
most valuable treasures need not be
patience, fOrtitude and en-
