ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY.

1t was moi bad advice which DR.. Tai
mage gave his people last Sabbath when
discoursing from the { 1t Bear We one
snolher's burdens" Oh tue common
theory and practice he said: If there BE-
room for only one more passenger in the
life boat get in yourself II there be q
burden to lift. you supervise while 9TH
ers shonlder it. You be the digit, while
others are eyphers on the righthand side /;
nothing in themselves, but used to aug
ment you. This Is the common prac-
tice, but it is in opposition to that theory
Of the gospel advanced by Paul, Bear
ye one snother's burdens Everybody
has burdens. Sometimes the burdens
come down on the shoulders, or the head
or heart. Looking oyer this assemblage
you all seem well looking, but each of
you has burden, and some of you have
more than you can lift. Paul proposes
TO split up these burdens
into fragments, you take part of my bur
den. and / part of yours. When Mrs.
Appleton, daughter of Daniel Webster,
was dying. she affected the great lawyer
70 tears, by her thoughtfulness for his
health as she remarked that he was out

much more beautiful the care of others
than this everlasting taking care of our
selvesl What you and most need to
learn Is the spirit of helpfulnsss.
Encourage the merchant if he has a
superior style of goods, or if his clerks
have adorned his show window. You
need not fear that he will be pulled no
and arrogant. He will have plenty of
trouble before the day is out. Some
cranky woman will come in and pull
down goods enough to fit out a family for
winter and not buy cents worth.
Don't be afraid that your praise will
plethora. Encourage the newspaper
man. Do you know how many annoy
ances he suffers? How hard 1t is for
him TO collect his bills; how often his
best and most elaborate article goes for
nothing; how he must report an Indis-
tinctly uttered speech which must of ne
cessIty be all the way through steno-
graphic guess? Think what the nine
tenth century would be without the
newspaper. Encourage mechanics and
praise them if they do their work we'll.
If he does not get his work done it may
be because his wife has been sick, he
has lost two children of scarlet fever,
and has feloh on his finger.
Encourage the farmer. It is com.
mon remark that the farmer is Indepen-
dent. Independent of what? Indepen-
dent of the rot in his wheaf2 Indepen-
dent of the grasshopper, the locust, the
army worm and the potato bug? indie
pendent of the storm that blows down
his crop, of the snowbank that buries
him until he shovels his way out? In
dependent OF frozen ears and frozen
feet2
Encourage the doctors There is
great deal of chap wit about the doc
tors. A man recently wrote a book,
Every Man his Own Doctor He ought
to write another, Every Man His Own
Undertaken Doctors have so many
hardships and annoyances that they
need our encouragement They stand
between our families and the grave.
=
Encourage all sick people Don't
tell them how bad they look, but remind
them of SIMILAR cases that you have
seen cured. Cheerful words are more
stimulating than cOgnac, toaio or hit
teFs. Encourage young men starting in
business by "reminiscences of your own
experience. You WHO are established
In business remember what you went
through.
"lf you have nothing to say that is
encouraging, shut your teeth tight to-
gether, cover them with the curtain of
your lips, presa your lips tight and hold
YOUR hand over VOur mouth and keen
