"But she refuses to marry another man,

The Religion Of Character.


IT seems not over-sanguine to find in
the signs of our times many indications
yielding hope of another and pro-
found regeneration of the religious
spirit. These indications point to the
Identification of religion with personal
character at once in its simplest and
largest sense; as right doing, the faith
full. the patient pursuit of all moral ex-
cellence; as aspiration and toll toward
a perfect manhood, manhood firmly
planted in fidelity to all human and
earthly relationships, and bound by
conscious and vital kinship to the spir-
itual power of the universe. This re-
ligion, when fully developed, will
recognize goodness as the one thing
needful; it will find the noblest employ
ment for all lofty and spiritual faiths
in applying them to produce integrity,
purity, love, joy, peace, in the lives of
men; it will find in such fruit the best
approval of the faiths that nurtured it;
it will, let us hope, by making men NOR
ally better, and purifying their minds
of the animalism, bitterness and selfish
ness that dim the moral vision, enable
them to discern as by intuition the great
spiritual realities about which we ques-
ton, thus making good the promise
that the pure in heart shall see Gods
While religion of character will thus
be in the strongest sympathy with
spiritual faith, it will not condemn any
man, whatever his belief, who in his
life is pure and benevolent; it will not
be afraid to accept the teaching of
Jesus, that the supreme test question is
whether we have ministered to the hum
cry, the naked, the sorrowful and sin
ming. 1t will affirm without reserva-
ton that the only real heresy is wrong
doing. Every man shall be judged
according to his works. &c. S. Mer-
ridnl. in Scribmer's Monthly.

Leisure Time.

Out-of-door occupations of almost all
kinds have been so finished up, or
checked by the weather, that there
ought to be good deal of leisure time
on the hands Of farmers, builders and
many other active people, for two or
three months to come. VIII you waste
it or use itp-that is the point. When
the preacher, in his New Years ser
mon, spoke of dead time as something
for which there is no resurrection, and
lost hours as things that can never be
recovered, the truth was old, but its
form of statement was so new that it
fixed the attention of his hearers in a
very sober fashion.
We have formerly spoken OF this as
the farmers time to think out his next
season operations to think at mark,
at the point of pencil, and over a
note book. There is too much vague
speculation, and pointless : wonder
ing' as to what they had better raise
next year, among farmers. The spring
work that is properly thoughtout is be-
gun in the only right way. And this

display no skill; relying on their num-
bers, arms and known desperation of
character to protect them from arrest,
as it does in nine cases out Of ten.
Keepers and policemen cannot be ex-
pected to force such brutes as these
fellows; they do sometimes, however,
and get shattered with shot. The
q m0uchers'' sneak about the hedge
rows on Sundays with lurcher dogs,
and snap up rabbit or hare; they do
not do much damage except near great
towns, where they are very numerous.
Shepherds, also, occasionally mouch-
their dogs being sometimes very ex-
pert; and plowmen set wires in the
gateways or gaps where they have
noticed the track of hare, but it is
only for their own eating, and is not OF
much consequence in comparison with
the work of the real local professional.
These regular hands form class which
are probably more numerous now than
ever; the reasons are-frst, the high
value of game and the immense demand
for it since poultry has become SO dear,
and, secondly, the ease of transmission,
now that railways spread into the most
outlying districts and carry baskets OF
parcels swiftly out of reach. Poaching,
in fact, well followed, is lucrative
business. Pail Mall Gazette.

A Real NObleman.


WE know of no man in England who

He recently delivered an address be-

Bob's Sermon.

AWAY out in the mining regions of
the far West was holding meeting.
The place was q desperate one, and
had been warned not to go there; but
God went along with me and took care
of me.
There was an organized band OF
gamblers, who had been terror to all
preachers and all good people. The
leader of this band was named Bob.
Through some generous turn OF
Gods wonderful providence, "got on
the good side'' of Bob at the very first;
and, by a little tact, gained the ears OF
the whole band. They came to church
and demonstrated, very soon, that they
knew well enough how to behave when
they had mind to try.
After few days, Bob rose in church,
and while was making a little talk,
and said to me, "Parson, let me talk
WHILE"
..Say on, Bob" replied.
Turning his face about toward his
comrades, he began:
Henry, old boy, you know love
YOU. You and / have been together in
many SPREE Henry, old fellow, l
can't turn away from you. can't
throw off on you, but, Henry, don't
want to go the old road any more. I'm
down, clean down to the bedrock.
Henry, let's all stop and try t'other
way. Boys, all of you, you know me.
1 don't want to quit you, but come, let's
all bout face. 1 tell you, boys, we are
all gone up the fiume if we keep on the
way we've been living. am going to
try t'other road, boys; come, go with
me, won't your"
With such words as these, only with
vastly more mining slang, Bob went
on begging his old comrades to join
him in coming to Christ. The effect
was general and profound. The whole
band melted down. Then we had time
of weeping and confessions. Strange
stories were told about early homes for
saken; early lessons long ago forgotten,
about the long descent down. down,
down, to the life of crime.
There were prayers and instructions,
and finally, as we verify believe, sound
conversions, more than score of
them.
Bob organized his old comrades, his
new comrades, now, into aprayer meet
ing, and, at last tidings, he and his
friends were still faithful to the new
life, and still continuing their prayer
meeting.
If unconverted people who are held
back from Christ by fear of their COM
rades would only take Bob's plan, they
might have all their old companions
along with them here on earth, and
have them for stars in their crowns in
Heaven.-Amgeron Page. IN american

to seed, fertilizers ind labor; decisions
as to stock, tree-planting, building and
repairs, and everything that must be
decided at some time. A farmer who
drifts into the years work with no
plan, is no wiser than General who
starts on campaign without plan,
or a lawyer who goes into court with

There is too much impromptu states

leisure in which to think is the most
valuable time in the year to a man who
has any equipment for the business,
and isn't too lazy to improve it. Think
ing is the hardest work done in the
world. It pays the best. tits the most
commonly shirked.
But leisure at this season brings also
opportunities for recreation and enjoy
ment. It is the time of all others for
farmers clubs-nOt the over-organized
and Gifted affairs, but the neighbor-
hood gatherings for discussions and
comparison of experiences, winding up
with a supper and social good time.
From our knowledge of it, we doubt if
farming life is as sociable and neigh
borly in its spirit and expression, as it
was when the country was new, and the
population scattered. The resting sea-
SON of out-of-door workers ought to be
made cheerful and happy. The men
should renew the acquaintance of their
wives, and find out something about
their children beside how much work
they can do. If the purse will warrant
it, take trip to the city and see the
sights. If not, stir up the social life
of your neighborhood, and don't let
it settle down into the GOODNESS, quiet,
and death-ike monotony of a frozen
pond.
Reading, also, furnishes a good en-
ployment of leisure time. With two or
three good weekly journalistic more
the better-and such books as ought to
be bought for the wife and children
the evenings around the comfortable
may be made delightful and profitable.

the low ideals of contentment, and the
periodical stimulation of anxiety about
a remote Heaven, not half enough atten-
