RENTS IN THE CITY.
One of tho Questions that the Head Of
the House Has to Deal with.

One of the Questions that the Head OF
the House Has to Deal with.
In the calender Of many families the
first of October is the date OF their annual
hegira. To those that rent knowing
day" is the most important Of the year,
long looked forward to and passed with a
tired sigh OF relief.
Ever since the time that Lot was evicted
by tOrtuitous circumstances from bis city
residence and obliged to find quarters for
the summer in the country, the question
of habitation has vexed the human race.
Where the question Of taxes troubles one
man, ten are distracted concerning rents.
Both landlord and tenant have their per-
pleXites; each thinks he has the heavier
burden. and TO them the question OF rents
is one Of deep and absorbing interest. The
problem OF the hour with the head OF many
"A household Is how he can hive his swarm
in $500 house for 500 year.
The habltatiOn question, il not solved, is
generally laid on the table during a por-
ton of the year, by the wonderful exodus
to mountain and seashore during the
summer months. But the absentees will
soon surge back to the city; in fact, they
have already begun the return PILGRIM
age, ana the rent question will be lively
issue until everybody IS settled for an
other year.
Real estate men say that vacant houses
are scarce this year. The sign ITO let''
is exhibited in very few windows, and
few doors are adorned with the familiar
placard. Rents will be no higher this
year than last, perhaps a shade lower.
Landlords are less eXacting, and tenants
are disposed TO remain another year, I'M
less there is good opportunity to make
by moving.
Residences in the central and southern
sections Of the city rent the highest.
Good rates are obtained for three squares
on each side Of the park, and the greatest
advance in rates for residences is in that
section OF the city. Elsewhere prices re-
main as for a year or two past.

The Labor of Love.

A century ago, in the north ol
Europe, stood an old cathedral, upon
one of the arches of which was q
sculptured face of wondrous beauty.
1t was long hidden, until one day
the suns light striking through a
slanted window revealed It's match
less features. And ever after, year
by year, upon the days when for a
brief hour it was thus illuminated,
crowds came and waited eagerly to
catch but glimpse of that face. 1t
had strange history. When the
cathedral was being built, an old
man, broken with the weight OF
years and care, came and besought
the architect to let him work upon
1T. Out of pity for his age, yet fear
ful lest his failing sight and tremb-
ling touch might mar some fair de
sign, the master set him to work in
the shadows of the vaulted roof.
One day they found the old man
asleep in death, the tools OF his craft
lay in order beside him, the cunning
Of his right hand had gone, his face
upturned to this other marvellous
face which he had wrought there
the face of one whom he had loved
and lost in early manhood. And
when the artists, and sculptors, and
workmen from all parts Of the cathe-
dral came and looked upon that face
they said: "This is the grandes,
work of all, lcye wrought this"

The Yoke Lined,

'eThe yoke of Christ will be more
easy than we think Of. especially when
it is lined with grace"
We Well remember an old man
who carried pals with yoke, and
as he was intirm, and tender about
the shoulders, his yoke was padded,
and covered with white flannel
where it touched him. But what q
lining is ".ove!" A cross of iron,
lined with love, would never gall the
neck, much less will Christ's wooden
cross. Lined with Christ's love to
usl Covered with our love TO him!
Truly the yoke is easy, and the bur
der is light.
Whenever the shoulder becomes
sore let US look to the lining. Keep
the lining right, and the yoke will
be no more burden to US than
wings are to bird, or her wedding
ring is to bride. 0 love divine,

pains; and what more can | ask

ination, which ever that may be; but
less OF sect and more of Christ is
what the world needs just now. Souls
for whom Christ died are going to
eternal death, and those churches
which are powerless to save them be-
cause all their energies are expend-
ed in trying to keep their own life
from going out have 10 right to live.
If there was less of sect and more ol
Christi fewer denominations anu
more healthy, vigorous, Christian
churches; less wasteful expendl-
ture of men and means, the progress
of the Gospel would be far more
rapid. Christian charity more abun-
dant, and the world largely the better
for it.
To find in village Of one thous-
and inhabitants five or six churches
is no evidence OF superabundance
Of piety in the place. Oftentlmes,
quite the contrary. Each church
bears witness to the fact that what
ever of religion exists there is OF
that narrow type that will not permit
a man to worship with his brother
Christian unless on the selfish lines
OF his own little sect.
Should Christ revisit the earth in
human form and enter into one Of
such villages, into which of those
SIX churches think you He would
GO? Or would He not rather shun
them all, and find abundand exercise
for His grace and love among the
sinful and wretehed, which, in spite
of the abounding churches, are to be
plentifully found under the very
shadow of their spires?
Ifchurches were organized more
to meet tue requirements and neces-
stiles of the community, and less to
crafty sectional pride and preten-
ton. fully one half the present num-
Der could be advantageously dispens-
ed with, and with the waste thus
saved and the men thus relieved,
the Gospel could be carried and
preached in all the still spiritually
destitute portions Of the earth. And
a righteous economy is one of the
precepts enforced by the Gospel it.

A Lean-To Shed.

"Many men owe their religion, moi
to grace, but to the favor Of the times
they follow 1t because it is IN fashion
and they can profess it at a cheap rate,
because none contradict it. They dc
not build upon the rock, but set up q
shed leaning to another mans house,
which costs them nothing.'
The idea of lean to religion is
somewhat rough, but eminently sug.
gestive. Weak characters cannot
stand alone, like mansions; but must
needs lean on others, like the miser
able shops which nestle under Ger
tain Continental cathedrals. Under
the caves of old customs many build
their plaster nests, like swallows
Such are good, If good at all, because
their patrons made virtue the price
of their patronage. They love hon
esty because it proves to be the best
policy, and piety because it serves
as an introduction to trade with
saints. Their religion is little more
than courtesy to other mems opin
ions, civllity to godliness.
Alas for an age when this sort ol
thing abounds! It's an injury to the
architecture of godliness to be en-.
numbered with these pitiful novels.
AS parasites suck the life out of the
goodly tree, and so do these pretend
ers lnjure those to whom they cling
with the seryile homage of hireling

profession and pleasing are q

weighed one by one in personal
judgement, and no other man can
add an ounce to aid us if we are
found wanting. The weli-founded
and well compacted structure of the
sincerely gracious will survive the
time when once more the Lord shall
shake not only earth but also heav-
en-; but that frail fabric which leans
on mortal aid will perish in that
dread convulsion.
Lord, make me a self contained
man. Supported by thee, and by
thee alone, may be unmoved, though

though the fashion of my company
should be opposed to all godliness.
Then shalt thou have glory through

The Waste of Churches.

Ii is not always in the multitude
of councillors that wisdom is found,
nor is it always in the multiplication
of churches in our village that CHRIS
tian work is promoted. There is
oftentimes more jealously than
Christian sympathy between neigh
, boring churches, more of antagonism
than harmonious working; more OF
bitterness between them than tie
peach OF the Gospel. Too many
churches are built for the simple
purpose of proselvting, not Chris
tianizing. They swell the numeric-
al aggregate of denominational re
ports, but that is about the only
visible result they really accomplish.
We have in our mind a pleasant
village on the Hudson, with a popu
lation of three thousand, having no
less than twelve churches. Who
will say that one half Of this mum
ber could not be dispensed with, not
only to the advantage OF the remain
ing ones, but also to the canse OF
Christ? Here IS n positive waste OF
men and means which could be ef-
fectlvely used on fields where Chris.
tian effort is sadly needed. II We 60
into some of our Western towns the
evil is still more striking. Where
there are already double the mum
ber OF churches needed, we read
constantly of new ones organized on
denominational lines, consisting OF
fifteen, ten, and even halfdozen
members cath. How much more
sensible would it be for these hand
fulls OF Christian men and women to
throw whatever weight and influence
they might possess into the already
existing churches. Many of them
weak and struggling to keep up
their life, than to add one more fee
BILE organization to those already in
being, with the added burden Of
current expenses included, and the
hard struggle TO support a pastor, or
as about as often happens to well
nigh starve one to death, who might
be otherwise laboring in more
needed and useful sphere. If there
is anything Christian in all this we
fail to see it. On the contrary, it is
un Christian, and hinderance, not
u help to the spread of the Gospel.
Instead of this scattering, we need
more concentration OF Christian
vieor and force. Instead OF dividing
the body of Christ into indn itesimal
fractions, We want more Of the unity
of the body of Christ--a strong, vig-
orous, healthy, united, concentrated
column pressing hard and overcom-
ing the hosts of sin. With such
churches, how petty jealousies would
die out; how denominations bicker
ings and strifes would sink into ST.
lence Each would emulate the other
in pushing forward the triumphs Of
the Cross. and provoke only to good
works. A church so feeble that all
its vigor and means can barely keep
it alive is a useless church. II had
better die, for IL exhausts Christian
charity and absorbs Christian means
without accomplishing any good. 1t
counts one on the roll Of the denom-
