ures attaching to an established reputa.
ton for being an humorist. Ferdinand
Cole, whose home is in Susquehanna
County, Pa, has discovered this fact to
his sorrow. His speciality is, or was,
facial c%ontortions, or what the children
call making faces" by which he was
wont to convulse his friends, in season
and out of season. The other day he
dislocated his jaw, a performance that
was supposed by his admiring specta-
tors to be a new and extremely clever;
variation Of his repertory of mirth-pro-
voking grimaces. While they laughed,
poor Cole leaped about in the greatest
agony, and for a time could not make
his admirers understand that he was
not trying to be funny. When his pre-
dicament was at last appreciated, they
had a ten miles tramp before the hui
morist's face was restored to its normal
condition by the kindly Offices Of a sur
geon. Presumably Cole will never
again try to be as funny as he can,

ENcouRAelNe r
That Your Labor Is Not In Vain
in the Lord"

"knOwing That Your Labor Is Not In Vain
in the Lord"
Regarding these words as a powerful
incentive to unwearied Christian serv-
ices, DR.. John Hall lately said: II
would like to know what other kind of
work there is regarding which you can
have that assurance. How much
money has been invested in hope and
all lost! how much energy have men
put into enterprises, and they fell to the
ground, and there was nothing but
modification and humiliation; they arc
ashamed to talk Of them. How many
things have men entered into and given
them time and energy and means; but
nothing came of them! But it is notso
here. This labor is not in vain; and
they who are counseled to engage in it
are authorized to know that it shall not
be in vain: Knowing that your labor
is not in vain in the Lord"
A vast amount of religious work
seems to be followed with very limited
results and, Judged by human stand
ards, it is counted "vain." But no
work done for God can fail. Appear
ances may be d~iscouraging and cher
ished hopes may be disappointed, but
under divine direction ultimate success
is assured. 1t may not be visible to-
those by whom the work is done, and
long years of service may show no re-
suit. But ''in due time'' faithful, pa
tient, persistent labor will be recognized
and amply rewarded. The sappers and,
miners must toll long in laying the
magazine that is to destroy a strong
hold, but to them, not to the man who
applies a match to the train, must be
ascribed its demolition; and of them the
Commanding Generals dispatch will
make grateful mention. No doubt a
vast deal of unnoticed but efficient
Christian work is being done in the
world which, in the grand consumma-
ton, will be acknowledged as having
been mighty through God to the pull
ing down of strong holds" And we
know that He who is not unrighteous
to forget any work and labor of love, is
pleased to commend all faithful service
and cheers every earnest worker with
the inspiring words: "Your labor is not
in vain."-Baptist Weekly.

Each sunrise that incarnadines

Thanks for the light of love which shines

Thanks for the sickness and the grief
Which none may flee;
For loved mes standing now around

And for the WEAKNESS Of heart
Which only rests in Thee.

And Sabbath rest;
Thanks for the hope of glory stored
In mansions blest;
Thanks for the Spirits comfort poured
Into the trembling breast.

Our life, and every trophy rend
From Death n Sin;

THE vALUx OF THE SABBATH.
The Day of Rest a Blessed Gift for Mans
Highest Good.

A$~y VI AsSob " 0AA " VkdA b
Highest Good.
Why can not the people, every one
business men and women, young and
old, even children able to read and
think at all-learn the value of the
Christian Sabbath? First of all it's rest
from toll and the usual avocations of
whatever name and character; and sec
ondly the change of thought which
brings our spiritual natures into promi-
inence and makes us acquainted with
our higher faculties? He who runs may
read, the fact is so patent, and where
this day is regarded there is a higher
style of living and thinking, aside from
its spiritual value. In fact, obedience
to Gods laws is really necessary to the
highest and healthiest physical develop
ment. AS He has created nothing in
vain, so no mandate emanating from
that most august authority but is full of
benefits for His creatures; benefits that
are essential to their highest happiness
here and their everlasting welfare be-
yond the shifting scenes Of time. How
our minds have become darkened that
we are so slow to understand these
things. 1t is the leaven of the Gospel
that keeps our land-a portion
OF it, at least-from becoming
a very Sodom and Gomorrah. Sup
pose u churches, Sunday-schools,
prayer-meetings, and all the religious
organizations in connection with them,
were entirely removed from our cities,
and the country round about, and in
their stead the saloons, with all their
accessories, were predominant, holding
high revel with no opposing influences.
The Sunday theater might entertain
those opposed to saloons; but Danish
the religious element entirely, and
what a picture Of pandemonium we
would have. Even the leaders would
shun such a state of things for their
children and families. AS a rule, those
who most bitterly oppose the Christian
Sabbath are those who know nothing
of it practically; as those who de.
nouncc Christian ministers, and Chris
ti~ns generally, are those who know
and mingle with them least. An elder
ly man was questioning a young girl,
q Christian, regarding her church, the
minister, the Bible, etc., in a critically
hostile spirit, when she asked him if he
attended church, knew the minister
