There il an unbelief which has Stun
bled and fallen over the mysteries of the
Christian system. There is class Of
so-called seekers after truth whose
stubborn requirement is that all may be
made PLAIN: the incarnation, the dual
nature of Christ, the Trinity, the divine
chemistry Of the souls conversion, the
processes of the resurrection, and all
the minutia Of heaven. Oh, how many
more ages shall the world live before il
learns that accepting Christianity is like
being cast naked into mid-oceans
Your feet do not touch the bottom,
your hands do not touch either shore
you are given swimming room for your
faith! Hero lies the supreme and per-
petual value of Christianity! Salvation
by faith is the grsndest doctrine Of the
Bible! AS many things in nature are
accepted as matters Of fact, and are
acted upon when little or nothing Is
known Of their nature, so in religion
its mysteries are accepted as facts
though the human mind may not b
fable to comprehend their analytica
signi6anee. 1t is said that in the wilds
of Mesopotanmla there are water
sources known to the wild gaelic, fol
which the Arabs have searched in vair
for ages. q i

What Young Men Should %.

l. Every young man should strive
to make the best ofhimself, intellecctu-
ally, morally and physically.
2. He should depend upon his own
effort to accomplish these results. &. B..
5. He should be willing to take ad-
vice from those competent to give it,
and to follow such advice, unless such
judgment or conviction, properly found
ed, should otherwise direct.
4. He should never be discouraged
by small beginnings, but remember that
all great results have been wrought out
from apparently slight causes.
S. He should never, under, any cir.
cumstances, be idle. If he cannot fine
the employment he perfers, let him
come as near his desire as possible-he
will thus reach the object of his ambi.
ton. --
s. All the young men have ''inalien'
able rights, "amoug which none is greater
or more sacred than the privilege to be
somebody" irr:.-' ..j -i-"

Printing once Secrets,

A properly conducted printing office
is as much a secret as Masonic Lodge.
The printers are not under oath o.
secrecy, but always feel themselves as
truly in honor bound to keep Office
secrets as though triple oathed. Any
employee in a printing Office who
willingly disregards this rule in relation
to printing Office secrets would not only
be scorned by his brethren Of the craft,
but would lose bis position at once. We
make this statement because it some
times happens that a communication
appears in a newspaper under an
assumed signature which excites COM
ment, and various parties try to find out
who is the author. Let all be saved
the trouble of questioning the employe
Of the printing Office. Thau= or. mo
know-nvsninyso on such points as these.
On such matters they have eyes and
ears, no mouth, and if any fail to OBJ.
serve the rule, let them be put down as
dishonorable members Of the craft. II
is the same in job printing. If anyth-
ing is to be printed and kept secret, lei
proper notice be given of the desire fol
secrecy, and you might as well question
the Sphynx as one Of the printers, sc
that even the secret books for lodges
are printed without fear.

and pass resolutions. Sometimes they go
tho length Of nominating reform ticket,
and evon Of voting for 1t. But the unwonted
excrtion speedily brings on the reaction,
and little or nothing has been effected.
Why2
Because such condition OF things az now
exists in Brooklyn can be rcmcdicd only by
q vigorously healthful public sentiment, en-
bodying and enforcing itself In vigorous,
united, and persistent public action, and
because the Brooklyn OF to-day does not
possess such public sentiment. 1t has
Rugged moral unclcanncss to its bosom. 1t
has condoncd adultery In the sanctuary.
Many Of its foremost citizens-men whose
own lives are clean, and who are looked up
to as leaders and cxamplcs-have rallied TO
shield q great criminal from the conse-
qucnccs Of his crime. They have wilfully
confused 10 their own minds the distinctions
between right and wrong, between innocence
and guilt, between truth and falschood. No
wonder that the public sentiment Of Brook
Ign Is llabby and enervatcd, where it Is not
wholly corrupted. Until the springs OF COM
munity life are clcanscd, it is labor wasted
to attempt 10 remove the scum on the sur
face.
