THE attorneys of the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany do not like the recent order of Postmaster
general Gresham against the New Orleans
National Bank One OF them, in published
interview, talks as though he felt real hurt over
it. He says:
"Sucn order has no legal support whatever,
and is the product of imbecility, malice or cor
ruptOn. The postmaster at New Orleans
should disregard it. 1t is a reflection that
bank should be at once prompt and vigorous TO
relieve itself of so dsgraceful a use of arbitrary
power by the Postoice Department"
But still the lottery letters will not be de-
liYered.

THE New Orleans Picayune talks out in meet
ing about the imbecility or corruption of the
present Democratic government of Louisiana,
Although Democratic itself, it thinks there is
nothing to be made by msstating or concealing
the present condition of things in that State.
1t concludes leading article with this para
graph:
ave repeat that it is preposterous to boast of
having restored the credit and financial strength
of a State whose bonds are discounted at the
rate of SO per cent, and to which no capitalist
would lend a dollar upon more advantageous
terms. IL is notifying TO recur to these sad
facts, and we trust that it may not be necessary
to do so agau. 1t may be that the day will come
when Louisiana's pledges will not be slammed
in all the great markets of the world but ii will
only dawn upon a change of men and measures. !"

No Thanks.

How often persons seek to dissuade
others from course of werl-doing by
the remark: "You will get no
thanks for your labor" and how many
persons, when looking over the tolls of
long years, feel a. secret pang1 as they
think how little their kindly efforts are
appreciated.
But the work of the servant of God is
not done to win the thanks of rriortals;
he labors with higher aim; he
has q grander object in view; he is a
servant, not of men, but of God; and
the work he does is not for the hope, of
earthly praise or earthly pay, but for
the glory Of God and the honor of his
Heavenly Master slii9ri lnfs5 9tA .1@g
He who labors TO secure the thanks of
men will find himself doomed to per-
petual disappointment. He lives in an
unthankful world; his labor is thank
less task, and he will often become dis
couraged, and perhaps abandon his nm!
dertakmgs. ION the other hand, he who
laborsIto please the Lord and has only
the glory of God in view, viii find the
blessing Of the Divine approval resting
upon him during his pilgrimage, and
at the end he will { receive from the

our efforts to benefit man by any ingrat-
yltude or neglect which we may expe-

wrongs, and in that day the neglected
and despised servants of God shall
know of a truth that their labor was
not in vain in the Lord.

Doing Christian Work.


What is to become of the multitudes
that throng our city streets, many OF
them no better than ,heathens?p Such
was the question of q friend the Other
day as we were walking together. And
the remark was added, in substance,
that in some aspects of the matter their
case looked very hopeless. This is true.
The mass of evil, seen at least from
some points of view, seems so immense,
and those who are laboring to overcome
it are so few, that it is easy to be dis
couraged. And yet there is another
side to the matter. We can see that
progress has been made. There is more
doing in our great city to relieve and
uplift and Christianize the great masses
than ever before. And these labors are
not in VAIN But whatever may be the
case as regards the matter in general,
this at least is true, that each Of us As
individuals can do something to let the
light in on this darkness Without
waiting much to see what others are
doing, we can exert our own personal
influence, How much of the darkness
we may scatter only eternity viii reveal
