GIVE HIM A LIFT.
By GoRToN NICHOLS.

By GoRToN NICHOLS.
Give him lift II Don't kneel in prayer,
Nor morallze with his despair.
The man is down and his great need
Is,-ready help;-not prayer and creed.
,T;s time when the wounds are washed and
healed.
That the Christly motives be revealed;
But now whatever the Spirit be
Mere words are but mockery.
One grain of aid just now is more
TO him than tones of sanity lore
Pray if you must. in your full heart,
But give him lit Give him startl
The world is full of good advice,
Of prayer and praise and preaching nice;
But the generous souls who aid mankind,
Are scarce as gold and hard to find.
Give like Christian! Speak in deeds,
A noble life's the best Of creeds.
And he shall wear royal crown
Who gives 'em a lift when they are down.

spring EIeetIoms.

The April elections are approaching, and
as yet, we have heard nothing as to who
are to be our candidates for the various
offices to be filled. It certainly is impor-
tant that these vacancies should be filed
with good, competent men, and all.who
have proper regard for the proper and
faithful discharge of the duties Of their
public offices, all who have proper re-
gard for the moral condition of our town,
should unite their strength upon a ticket
composed of men pledged to their objects
and known to be citizens worthy of tlust.
We hope that the right steps will be tax
en- to present such ticket, both for town
ship and corporation officers, and that the
voters will unite their strength upon it
and secure its election. This can be done
if oar strength is not wasted upon too
many candidates.
