IF we wish a useful ministry in the
years to come we. must make it. The
young men who go from certain kinds of
society to preach the gospel will carry
with them what they learned there, and
1t wdll show itself in all their work. If
they are reared in homes where there is
but little vital piety, and where every
thing is arranged with reference to world
ly qualification, it is not impossible that
they will become self-denying, spiritually
minded men, but 1t is not likely. If the
boys have ladies who love parties, dress
the theatre and the dance for the teachers
in the Sabbath Schools, they may, in spite
OF what Is so much against them, grow
into men Of earnestness and fervor, but
the probability is that they will have
tastes that are other than unworldly. 1t
is not simply Presbytery, theological
seminary or committee of ministers that
has to do in making devout preacher.
1t is the life in which he is reared. in
which he gets his first impressions and
receives the bent of his mental and moral
habits. 1t requires pious Church to
produce pious ministry - United Pres.

surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. 1t
often affects the sufferer with
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling

There are five state tickets in the field I'm Penn
eylvania, viz: the regular republican, independent
republican, democratic, labor and the prohibition
In forecasting the result of the election all these
tickets must be considered. Ordinarily in Penn
sylvania verytte interest is given 10 these side
issue tickets, the few thousand votes they COM
mand DO not have any bearing upon the result;
Out this year every vote counts, and few
thousand more or less than usual for the labor
ticket or the prohibitionists may Indirectly make
or mar the fortune OF the two leading parties A
prominent democrat, ex-CongreSsman Hopkins, of
PIttsourg, who was the leading candidate against
Pattison, for the gubernatorial nomination, esti-
mates the vote for the Independent ticket at
100000; for the prohibitioniSts at from 1900 to
1SO0; for the labor ticket at from 10000 to 5000:
Tor Beaver, regular republican, 275,OoO; and for
Pattison, democrat, 100000 He admits how
ever tnat the labor vote Is very uncertain;
that the number cast for that ticket
viii depend largely upon whether or
not the labor troubles continue until
the election. 1t is to be taken for granted that
this calculation Is as favorable to the democrats as
the outlook warrants. 1t gives Pattison plural
ity OF only 5000 over Beaver, putting the indie
pendent vote at 100000. The stalwarts claim that
Stewart will not poll over $4,000 at the very out
side, thus leaving a margin OF $1,000 republican
votes between their estimate and that Of Mr. Hop
kins, from which Beaver might draw enough to
wipe out the advantage accorded to PatJisOn In
the democratic calculation. Then, the labor vote
might exceed the Hopkins figures drawing more
OF its strength from the democrats than from the
republicans or, it might fall below those figures
the vote going direct to Beaver rather than to
Armstrong, the labor candidate The latter con-
tingency Is not very probable, however. Arm
strong is popular representative OF the working
men. and Will, no doubt, receive a liberal support
from them, Notwithstanding there is no possibility
OF his election But should the vote for Stewart
IAN short OF the Independents estimate IL is not
certain thing, By any means that IL Will signify
return OF independents TO the regular party fold
II it shall appear necessary in order To defeat
Beaver, some thousands Of the independents may
vote directly for PattiSOn. Hence Pattison NAV
get republican votes enough to compensate for
democrats deserted from him through the labor
movement and By means OF other political engi-
neerlng
