There was not large audience at Granite
Hall last evening on the second evening OF
Charlotte Thompson's engagement here.
Miss Thompson appeared in Jane Eyre, a
part which she has taken so admirably, so
many times, that the sctress and the charac-
ter have become almost as one. The story
is that of an abused orphan girl, subject to
the butfetings of cold world. She finally
as governess, drifts into the family of a
lord. who wins her after contest with de-
signing mama and her daughter. Miss
Thompson carried the part through with pur-
itw dignity and faithfulness, from the rebel
ling girl to the perfect woman She was well
supported. Financially her appearance has
been a failure.

MOrnOnism.

The propagating power of the Nor
mon church, according to recently
published statements, is almost incred-
ible. 1t has more missionaries than the
American Board, and on single day
recently siXty-one of them sailed for
Europe. Three thousand proselytes
have arrived at New York within eight
months. The Mormon high priests out
number the Congregational ministers
of the United States. This church has
not only acquired great political infu-
ence which many statesmen fear to COM
bat, but it has reached such commercial
importance as to seal many mouths in
Chicago and Wall street. 1t is time
that the people were awakened to the
enormities and growing power of this
evil, and were aroused to something
more than mental protest The New
West Education Commission is en-
gagged in furnishing information about
this curse to our nation. 1t may be in
teresting to recall, as historical fact,
that the republican platform, as far
back as 1856, coupled polygamy with
slavery, saying that it is the important
duty of congress to prohibit in the terri
tories those twin relics of barbarism
polygamy and slavery. "-Southbridgt

A Case I'm Point.

The Sandwich Islands are perpetual
monument of what mission work can
do. The late Charles Darwin was by
no means a Christian, but he was
close observer, and he always recognized
good springing from agencies in whose
religious phases he had no sympathy.
In comparing the condition of the
Sandwich Islands, when he visited
Tahiti in 1912, he says of the critics
who were hostile to the missionaries :
"They forget, or will not remember,
that human sacrifices, and the power of
an idolatrous priesthood; system of
pro1igacy unparalleled in any other part
of the world; infanticide, consequence
of that system; bloody wars, where the
conquerors spared neither women nor
children, that all these have been abol-
ished; and that dishonesty, intemper-
ance and RIGHTEOUSNESS have been
greatly reduced by the introduction of
Christianity. In voyager to forget
these things is base ingratitude; for
should he chance to be at the point of
shipwreck on some unknown coast he
will most devoutly pray that the lesson
of the missionary may have extended
thus far" This is both candid and
just, and will serve to perpetuate recog-
milton of the grand work accomplished
by the missionaries in the Sandwich
Standardization at Work.

A Word to Fathers.

We have read story of little boy
who, when he wanted a new suit of
clothes, begged his mother to ask his
father if he might have it. The mother
suggested that the boy might ask for
himself. 81 would" said the boy, "but
l don't feel well enough acquainted
with him." There is a sharp reproof to
the father in the reply of his son. Many
a father keeps his children so at dis
lance from him that they never feel
confdentially acquainted with him.
They feel that he is sort of monarch
in the family. They feel no familiarity
with him. They fear and respect him,
and even love him some, for children
cannot help loving everybody about
them some; but they seldom get near
enough to him to feel intimate with
him. They seldom go to him with
their little wants and trials. They APP
proach him through the mother They
tell her everything. They have high
way to her heart on which they 90 in
and out with perfect freedom. In this
keeping-of plan fathers are to blame.
Children should not be held off. Let
them come near. Let them be as init
mate with the father as with the mother.
Let their little hearts be freely opened.
1t is wicked to freeze up the love foun-
tains of little ones hearts. Fathers dc
them an injury by living with them as
strangers. This drives many child
away from home for the sympathy his
heart Graves, and often into improper
society. 1t nurses discomfort and dis.
trust, which many child does not out.
grow in his lifetime. Open your hearts
and your arms, fathers; be free with
your children; ask of their wants and
trials; play with them; be fathers tc

Right Words.

One is tempted to ask, How is back
bone to be formed in the rising genera
ton of Christians if everything about
the religious life is made so pleasant
and easy? If sermons must be so light
or so short as hardly to involve any eff
fort of attention on the part of the
hearer, and the rest of the service is to
be bright little concert? And if the
other hours of the day given us to be
spent at the gates of heaven are to be
merely enlivened with Sunday talk?'n
We are in great danger of degenerating
into molluscous Christians. Christian
preachers and writers ought, think, to
be continually reminding their people
of the place of self-denial in the Chris
tan life. If we let down the tone of
the church in this respect, ii may please
God to give her a new chapter of the
discipline of persecution, for that has
been the great means usually employed
for teaching her that " the cross " has
to be borne in another sense than as an
ornament on lady's bosom" If any
man will come after me let him take up
his cross daily and follow me. "-Dr.

Tears.

There be three hundred different ways and more
of speaking, but of weeping only one;
And this way, the wide world DER and DER,
Is known by all, though It is taught by none.
No man is master of this ancient lore,
And no man pupil Every simpeton
Can weep well rs every sage. The man
Does 1t no better than the infant can.
The first thing all men learn is how to speak,
Yet understand they not each others speech
But tears are neither Latin, nor yet Greek,
Nor prose, verse. The language that they
teach
Is universal. Ceopatra's cheek
They decked with pearls no richer than from each
OF earth innumerabe mourners fall
Unstudied, yet correctly classical.
Tears are the oldest and the commonest
OF all things upon earth; and yet how new
The tale each time told by theml how unblessed
Were life's hard way without their heavenly dew
Joy borrowxthem from Grief; Faith trembles lest
She lose them; Hope herself smiles through
The rainbow they make around her as they fall
And Death, that cannot weep, sets weeping all.

Alone with God.

In every instance the man who pre-
walls in prayer is the man who is alone
as he prays with God. Abraham leaves
Sarah behind when he pleads with him
for Sodom; and if he fails it is because
he ceases to ask before God ceases to
grant. Moses is by himself beside the
bush in the wilderness. Joshua is
alone when Christ comes to him as an
armed man. Gideon and Jephthah
are by themselves when commissioned to
save Israel Once does Elijah raise a
child from the dead, and Elisha does
the same, and in each case not even
the mothers come in while the prophet,
alone with God, asks and receives. So
of Ezekiel, so of Daniel. Although
others are present, Saul journeying to
Damascus is alone with Christ after

that he breaks upon him. Cornelius is
praying by himself when the angel
flashes upon his solitude; nor is any
one with Peter upon the housetop when
he is prepared to go to the Gentiles for
the first time. One John is alone in
the wilderness, another John is by him
self in Patmos, when nearest God. 1t
is when alone under his fg-tree in
prayer that Jesus sees Nathaniel. All
religious biography, our own closest
communion and success with God, show
what Christ means when, as if it were
the only way to pray, he says, "And

secret, and thy Father, which seeth in

THERE is no remedy in the world so
valuable to use in the case of sudden
accident or illness as Johnson's Ano-

and externally, and its power is truly
marvellous.

medicine; it is dear at any price. This
is true of the large packs of condition

Cdrahy Condition Powders and you
can't make a mistake. The large

worthless.
