When one is sick and the tavorite physician sent for, how sad to think that he will loiter or think of attend ing to anything else when human life is in jeopardy. It makes one feel almost indignant at a man claiming to be physician who would loiter under such circumstances. If his responsibility is great whose duty it is to look after and care for the wants of the body, how much greater the responsibility of him whom God has set as a watchman over Zion-to look after and care for the spiritual wants and destinles of human beings? He should not only be punctual to meet all his appoint ments, but he should be equally punctual Tn visiting the sick, but above everything else he should be on time in warning sinners to repent, believe the gospel and be saved.
 Well now to our precious Sunday School. I am glad, dear children, that we have punctual superinten- dent. Since l have been among you he has nearly always been on time. This seems to be so essential to the well-being of the Sunday School the leader to be in his place at the proper time. The principle of being on time, of course, applies to all other officers, but the teachers more especially. Oh, how discouraging to us children when we enter at the ap- pointed hour and find that teacher has not come; school is opened and the signal notifies us to take our places in the class, and instead of the one whom we have learned to love, with familiar voice and accus- toned zeal, to hear our lessons, one who is not accustomed to teach ling at all, and perhaps a stranger is 10 hear us. Ohi Dear teachers be prompt in attendance! Well, chil- dren, what is our duty2 Let us all with one accord say we will be at Sunday school "Promptly at nine in the morning"

PUNCTUALITY.

Much has been sad and written on the subject of Sunday schools the manner of conducting them, etc. Even since our present plan of read ing essays commenced many good things have been said.
 The excellent essay on "Duty" which was the last one read before the school comprehended great deal of my tavorite subject.
 will try and reimpress the minds of ali who are interested, on the i'm portance of Q readiness to do our whole duty-in the Sunday school everywhere. If we expect to secure the love and esteem of the wise and good, we must be punctual. The tardy, indolent man is always be- hind time. If he uses the means to certain end he fails to apply them at the proper time and the end is not secured. We see failure in nearly all trades and professions. How many farmers have failed to secure bread for their children because they have not studied the great i'm portance of punctuallty and prac- ticed It in their dealings with their fellow men? Their merchant, their grocer, their physician soon find thls out and the result is, that mort gage on their real estate or personal property is demanded befora- they can secure the actual wants for the family. These men may be iltelli- gent, industrious, economlzing, and even church members, yet if they fail to be punctual in their dealings with their fellow men, this fact alone will prevent them from occupying a place of accredited esteem in the minds of all good people. \
 Mechanics often make failures be cause they are not punctual. They will loiter around their shop or or the street when long promised jot IS lying half finished or not com menced at all, and thus their GUS toners lose confidence in them be cause they have not been punctua in fulfilling their obligations. Mer chants have failed in many, many instances because they have not met their obligations abroad and been attentive to business at home.
 A well known lawyer In Wes, Tennessee who was we'll qualified tC to practice his lucrative profession died in extreme poverty because ht failed to attend to the business en trusted to hls care in due time. WC might pursue this line of application still further, but to do so would lengthcn out this essay entirely too long for the present purpose. w will only notice two more of th' most important characters and il conclusion apply the whole to oul Sunday school.
 The physician and the mlnisrer- the doctor of the soul and the docto of the body. what a fearful responsi | biIity rests upon these characters

There Is moving among the 'dry bones' of Hot Springs. We learn that the U. s. Commissioners arc prosecuting their work vigorously and rem9deling the town completely. All the houses, except one or two on the west side of the street, have to be moved, and many or the owners have no place to move them. This is the side reserved by the U. s. Govern ment as park, On the cast side, in order to widen and strengthen the street the houses have to be moved some thirty feet. and many of the lots occupied by buildings, will be on the street. Tho city Is now well filled with visitors and many of those who entertain visitors and carry on business, must suffer great incon venience. But let all this question oftitIle once be settled, the city streets defined, and Hot Springs will be one of the most llourishing towns and the most popular resort in America-Spirit sf Aekansas.
