Mr.. Beecher has been a kind OF Pope among

by any Ecumencal Council. He has been the
most prominent Protestant clergyman in Amer

England, in Switzerland, in Germany, In France.
His influence for good or evil is cOeXtensive with

KEEP UP FAMILY ATTACHMENTS

KEEP UP FAMILY ATTACHMENTS.
Ono of the sad dcst things about II
large family, who have lived happi.
ly together for years under. the old
roof tree, is the scattering to dis
tant homes. which take place as
they grow up, one by one to years
of maturity. 1t is often the case
that, in the cares and hustle of bust.
ness, letters grow more and more
infrequcnt, finally brothers and sis
tiers will sometimes entirely lose
sight of each other.
These kindred ties are much too
sacred to be thus lightly severed.
1t takes such a little while to write
a letter,and the expense is so trit,ing
that there can hardly be MI excuse
for the neglect.
A loving family circle, thus wide.
~ severed, adopted curious but
beautiful plan for keeping informed
of each others welfare. The two
most remote on the first of each
month, wrote part of page on n
large sheet containing the principal
news of the month, and this was
sealed and forwarded to the family
next in order. Some member of the
family adds a little contribution, and
sends it on to the next, and so on.
till the circle is complete. Thus the
family letter goes its round twelve
times u year, and each one is kept
we'll informed of the joys, sorrows,
plans and pursuits of the others.
Family gatherings are frequent in
such households, and the old home
attachments never grow cold.
Sons in particular, away from
home, are apt to grow neglectful of
letter writing. Oh, if they knew
how many heartaches such neglect
often causes to the loving breast that
pillowed their tired heads in child
hood, they would not be SO thought
less. If they knew the joy that a
letter brought, and could see how
the lghtest words were dwelt over,
and talked over by the fireside, they
would not be so sparing of those
messages.
Are not some of us sadly in ar
rcars in this particular?
