An American gentleman has been
examining the churches of London and
the other great towns Of England to
discover if possible the most perfect
model for popular church. And he
found that the church of Rev. Archibald
Brown, of London, most nearly ap-
preached his idea.
begin the school year with cheer
fulnesS" is the admonltiOn of the Jour-
nal of Education to the teachers of the
land. In another part of the paper it
is noted that many of the teachers of a
certain State receive less than two
hundred dollars year in wages. To
these it may possibly occur that the in
junction is intended as bit of very
grim humOr.- Current.
Beyond question there are in the
New Testament many preceptS which,
taken without the grace of expository
wisdom seem to be inconsistent, not
merely with the welfare, but even with
the very existence of society. They APP
pear to be aimed at the most necessary
and universal propensities of humanity.
To these belong the passages which
place a divine interdict on the love of
money. The desire to have is not a
growth of sin, it is q natural and neces-
ssry instinct, and is as harmless in it
self as hunger or thirst. Christian ot
Work.
There is truth in the following
quaint passage: God looks not at
the oratOry of our payers, how eloquent
they are; nor at their geometry, how
long they are; nor at their arithmetic,
how many they are; nor at their logic,
how metkodical they are; but He looks at
their sincerity, how spiritual they are. "
At the same time it may be added, re-
marks the Cturchn1an, that the Oratory,
geometry. arithmetic and logic may all
be necessary if we would worship in
the beauty of holiness. Indianapolis

ENGAGED.

AS strolled on the beach with the fair lisa
bella
We were friends of long standing, I'd known
her week
Was it love or the shade of her gorgeous UNI
brella
That auttered in crimson across her soft
cheek
Hope tugged at my heart-strings and made
me audacious,
For when Coquetry blooms like a Provencal
rose,
1t is surely sign that she means to be gra-
ciOus,
And bless with sweet favor some one of her
beauX.
So 1 set me to wooing, both bIithely and
bravely,
Z Caught in mine small hand in a brown CANT
de Suede,
Snatched kiss from her lips, and was beg
ging her suavely
To leave out my heart from the list of be-
trayed.
When she stopped me. I'm sorry" she MUIR

"But you see-Tm engaged" and pretended

The Vicious Character Of the TalIOW
Candle.

The air of room lighted by gas is
heated twenty times as much as if it
were lighted to an equal extent by in
candescent electric lamps. When arc
lamps are used. the comparison is still
more in favor of electricity You will
be surprised to know that our old
friend, the tallow candle. and even the
wax candle, is far worse than gas in the
proportion of air Initiated and the heat
produced; and you will be disposed to
disbelieve it. But the fact is that. so
long as candles were used, light was so
expensive that we were obliged to be
content with little of it; in fact, welived
in state of semi-darkness, and in this
way we evaded the trouble. 1t is only
since the general introduction of gas
and petroleum that we have found
what an evil it is. -.Sanitary En7iDeer.
