unfamiliar. Instances are on record on
the inability of mind thus lost to rec
ognize its own home when it had come
to its very gates.
If thus it is the custom of the human
mind to become deranged will there not
always be instances in which druggist
OF the widest knowledge and of the
most careful habits shall take down the
wrong bottle and deliberately mix a
dose of death? The particulars of this
recent case are not yet known and there
may be a special criminality in the
case, but the fact remains that we are
all liable to make a blunder that will
deeply injure some one, or we are liable
to be deeply injured by the wandering
mind of-the nearest and best friend.
Mothers have given the wrong medi-
cine to their children and have caused
death in their dreadful anxiety to save
life. A physician in this State recently
mixed vial OF powerful medicine, and
while talking to a friend his infant
child reached the medicine, drank it,
and died.
Thus wonderful as the human mind
is it is not infinite. 1t has frail mo-
ments. The wonder is that so MANY
minds of the millions perform so well
their duties. When train runs from
Chicago to New York the passengers
are dependent upon the mental balance
OF quite multitude of men. Flagmen,
switchmen. telegraphers, engineers,
trackmen. bridgemen, strung along for
thousand miles, must forget nothing.
The mind OF each and all must sit upon
Its noble throne all the hours of the
twenty-four and all the DAYS of the
year. When We remember that these
express-trains will often run for wears
without meeting with ruin from some
bewildered mind we must conclude
that, although not infinite, the mind of
man is an amazing piece of workman
ship. Some will die by its blunders
or absence, but the millions will live
and sleep sweetly under its faithful and
loving care.-Prof. Suing.

Last Sunday evening the newly organized
Y. nj. CA. held union gospel meeting at
the Free Baptist church. very large at
tendance was present and the following in
teresting programme was presented after the
usual devotional exercises:
Facts concerning the origin, the growth
and object of the association, Rev, w. G..
Burns; What the town has right to expect
of the Y. M. 9. A. and what the Y. M. G. A.
has a right 20 expect of the town, Prof. Il.
M. Russell; Importance of personal work,
Rev. II. w. Harvey; Relation of the associa-
ton to the church, Rev. Geo. l.. Cole; The
value of Bible Study, Rev. Jas. Goodman;
Reading the Constitution 10y the secretary,
Chas. Stocking The association will secure
at the earliest possible moment suitable
rooms in which to hold its meetings.
THAT the young men of our town need
just such safeguards as the Y. NJ. G. a. pro-
vides, is automatic. Every place that be-
longs To Satan, and he owns much property
in our vilage-is wide open, the lights are
burning, the fire blazes on the hearth and
young men are welcomed.
l do not wonder that without a help
ing hand SO many go down. They
lock as did David when prosecuted
by Saul, first to the right, then to the
left, but there was no man that would know
them or care for their soul. No one knows
till he has experienced il, the courage it de-
mands III young man, amid the countless
temptations which his own nature, the world,
and the devil throw around him, to fight
each day afresh the battle of purity, truth
fulness and honesty, to deny himself where
others yield and to prefer the reproach Of
Christ as greater riches than all the treasures
of this self-indulgent, pleasure loving Egypt
in which we live
Having then for it's specific object the
spiritual, intellectual and physical well-being
of yonng men we bespeak for the young
mems christian association of this village

opportune return of Mr.. Stone to the factory

Early one morning of last week, il
was discovered that an attempt had been
made to burn the Oak Park Seminary build
ing. Some one had been in the building
and scattered couple of gallons
of kerosene oil on the carpets and
among some old papers, and along the cellar
stairs, where they put lamp in such po
sition that it set the stairs on fire, and the
lamp exploded. Strange as it may appear
the flames did not spread but went out after
burning a hole through the stairs. Perhaps
the explosion of the lamp and the dash of
oil-Michigan oil-on the fire extnguished
1t. 1t is difficult to imagine why any person
should desire to commit such a crime, as to
destroy an educational institution like Oak
Park. No clue has been obtained to the
perpetrator of the deed. This is the second
fire that has occurred there within few
weeks. 1t was thought the first one might
have been accidental, but there is little doubt
that it, like the last, was the work OF an in-
cendiary.
