church, corner Of Twenty-second street. Rev. E.
G. Wilder presided. After the reading OF the
minutes by the secretary and the recitation Of the
Introductory prayer, the Rev. Dr. John Hail. In
most logical discourse, showed how the sixteenth
lesson Of the International series for the fourth
Sunday In April should be taught by the sum
day School teachers. The subject was. 'Tho
Lord with Joseph" DIR. Hail. In offering his sug.
gestions, asked that a clear, concise elaborate
but logical view should be always taken OF the
subject submitted for apprehension to the pupils.
The lesson mentioned, taken rom Genesis xxx,
l, 8, 20, %, he would divide or analyze into three
distinct parts-namey, the position, power and
prosperity OF Joseph. 1t was not necessary to
touch any other subject or idea irrelevant to the
one in question, in order to make out for q class
very neat and serviceabe discourse. This the Rev.
Dr. Hall proved by taking up each part and making
most pleasing and instructive sermon for MS
audience
After concluding the Rev. z. NJ Humphrey, Of.
Philadelphia delivered an equally appropriate al
dress on The Preacher and the Teacher, In when
he showed the harmony OF feeling which snoulQ
exist between both In order that the desired enect

doubt he feels disgraced by this time.
Upon his release he had $3.50. and the
Society for the Aid of Discharged Con-
victs furnished him with 800. But this
money did not last johnson great
while and he was tempted to ply his
old vocation. that of picking pockets.
He struggled against the temptation,
however. until one day when on the
way to st. Louis he picked the pocket
of IN old lady. Before he left the train.
however, his conscience smote him and
confronting his victim he said: Have
You lost anything p She had lost her
pocketbouk. Here it is" said the fell
low. Il knew You would not be So
mean as to keep it, she replied. This
remark stung johnson to the quick,
mind that he would starve rather than
steal. Arriving ut St. Louis he had
only il few dollars. and what to do he
did not know. One day. however.
while walking along the street he stop
ped Il runaway horse attached to Il ear
riage containing Il lady and two chill
dren. The owner of the team witness
ed the act aud gave Johnson $50. The
man refused to take the money, but
said good situation would be worth
more to him. Work for the discharged
convict was obtained, and to-day John
son has settled down for life, a worthy
and reformed man. Gaining the conf
dcnce of his newly-found friend and
benefactor, he told him who he was and
what he had been, but he was not kick
ed out into the street nor the finger of
scorn pointed at him on that account.
The story has its moral.

cup of cream if we have it if not, ia
ble-spoonful or two of good butter.
We take out half of the beans (if we
have cooked enough for two meals) be-
fore seasoning the days portion, and
sometimes thin what is left for soup
with hot water, and then put in the
cream and salt, and boil and stir it all
together. When we bake the reserv-
ed portion we pour it into Il large bak-
g-dish or dripping-pan, stir in
spoonful of salt and cup of cream, or
creamy milk, and hit of butter, and
bake an hour. | can not believe that
any one who tries it would prefer .'pork
and beans" to this. The most common
mistake in cooking beans is too cook
them too little. This is the cause
of their flatulent tendency, and such
result may he prevented by thorough
cooking. The frequent changing of the
water takes away the strong flavor
which is disagreeable to many. Well
cooked beans are among the most nu-
trious articles of diet.
"BRowN THE following re-
cipe, given by Marion Harland, we
have tried, with much satisfaction One

A Nascent Angel.

TheOlOgians, metaphyslclans, poets
and speculative philosophers have ar
gued long and loud in vain attempts to
demonstrate the origin of angels. The
question is not vet settled, and perhaps
never will he to mortal comprehension,
that is to say in relation to heavenly
angels. But when it comes to earthly
angels, we sometimes get happy
glimpse of how they are made. and we
give an instance i'll point.
The children of burglar confined in
Sing Sing prison, are now the inmates
of a charitable Institution in New York.
The wife and mother is a nurse i'll the
family of a rich bank president. One
dav last week she visited her little ones,
and took with her the daughter of her
millionaire employer pretty, sunny
haired. bright eyed child of six sum
mers. The sweet little girl had never
seen poverty before. For the first
time she looked upon sad young faces,
and saw children without playthings
and who didn't smile. She asked ques-
tions and one of the officers of the insti-
tuition, seeing her evident earnestness,
told her what he could about the hlstO-
nv and sutferingS of the poor children.
The little heart was touched, and the
child on going home told her rich faith
Il, Ii. r., work I1 u
for the poor children. And she did,
and before night she had visited the
residences of several of the acquaint-
ances of her parents, and collected S2O
in money. three barrels of clothing and
forty pairs of shoes, all of which were
handed over to the poor of the institu-
ton as quick as an express team could
take them.
That's what we should call the be
ginning of an angel life. We doubt if
the rich father ever enjoyed i'll all his
life, i'll the gathering together of all his
wealth so much real happiness as thrill
ed and warmed the heart of his blessed
little child us she saw the fruits of her
labors start of to their destination.
1t makes liz feel better to record such
angelic works. and will make our read
crs feel better to learn them, as it gives
an agreeable change from the sickening
array of murdcrers. thetts. assaults,
wranglings. >windlings and other mon
stroI> duingS which the wickedness of
men compclS lis to chronicle every day.
When it is 50 easy to he angelic. why
have we 81 few angels among us 1t Is
simply because We think We can't af-
ford t" indulge in the luxury of doing
good.
