FAITH AND WORKS.

Mankind are constantly running into ex'
tremes. This is true in the every day affairs
of life; but especially true with respect to re-
ligion. Multitudes exclaim, "faith is all that
is necessary in order to be saved" Such in
dividuals seem to forget that "faith without
works is dead" They ignore the Scripture
taught doctrine that faith is living principle
and not dead theory. They console them
selves that it makes no sort of difference what
they do or what they think, provided they
only believe they will be saved. The faith
which such individuals possess, is not that
faith which is so often spoken of in the Bible.
1t is nothing at ala mere myth. Many
take the opposite extreme, and say there is no
use for faith Only do right and you will be
saved. Works is all with this class This
latter class of the human family constitute
themselves the sole judges Of what is right.
The rights of God are wholly ignored by
them. God is deprived of all rights. He is
dethroned. His wisdom is despised, and his
power contemned. The Bible theory on this
subject is that faith and good works are insep-
arably united. Every believer is worship
per of the true God.

HAD RIGHT TO LAUGH.

There is a legend affirming that one day
nearly one hundred years ago, the snow was
seven feet deep on the streets of Peckton.
On that day not a woman was down town, but
next day, when the snow had settled a foot
or 80, they were abroad as usual. They were
out yesterday wading through the slush and
jumping the pools, and one of them fell "ker-
splash !" as she was passing the blacksmith
shop. A man standing thirty feet away be-
gan laughing uproariously. He got red in
the face, tears came to his eyes, and his hat
fell off as he laughed and cried out:
"Went right down like bag of sand
slush foot deep-starched up to kill-never
saw any body look so cheap-oh ho !! hop
"You are no gentleman, sir," remarked a
man who had witnessed the mishap.
"Can't help that-ha ho! ho" laughed
the other, bending almost double.
"You haven't the first instincts of gentle
man, sir" continued the other, growing very
mad.
II know it, but ho hop screamed the
other, II know how she felt as she went down,
carrying all that style, and I-ha hap
II don't see anything so very funny in ii" !"
growled the other.
"No, you don't, but T." And he hung
to hitching post and laughed until his legs
weakened. When he had recovered his breath
he explained to the crowd;
ut was my wife, you see She probably
wanted pair of shoe-strings or two cents
worth of silk twist, and it took her three
hours to curl and twist, and powder and fix
up to come down here and wade around.
Then to fall fiat with all her best duds on,
and to be helped out by rag-buyer, and to
hear the boys yell out, why, it just takes all
