LETTER FROM MICHIGAN.

M. Eduor.-Our former letter for
the MONITOR, in Oct, left us just
settled in our new home al the Sani-
tarium in the city of Battle Creek,
Mich. In that letter we said moth
ing of the religious interests of this
institution, so | trust you will allow
brief space for mention of this:
Religious services are held in the
large parlor each morning and two
evenings in the week, in addition to
sermon, usually Sunday evening,
for the benefit of the patients. We
also hold one or two meetings each
week for the helpers, which are at
tended by the patients more or less.
We also have very interesting
Sabbath School, numbering some
140 members.
To attend these meetings, and 9TH
ers out of the house, visit and pray
with the sick in their rooms, affords
some labor of missionary kind, and
leads one to see more of the love and
spirit of Him, who ''went about do
ing good" For the last three weeks
our time has been divided between
these duties, and attending the Gen
eral Conference of the Seventh Day
Adventists in this city, which has
just closed, after a session of 19
days. This was the twenty-fourth
annual session of this denomination.
Of twenty eight state conferences,
| twenty-seven were represented by
delegates at its opening session. Af-
ter which representatives arrived from
Sweden, Switzerland, and South
| America. Questions of the utmost
importance to this people in carrying
the gospel to every nationality on the
globe, came up in this conference,
which were discussed and settled
with great unanimity of feeling.
They expect soon to send missiona-
ries TO England, Germany, Sweden
and Norway, TO the Sandwich Islands
and Australia, to join those now labor
inc i'm those fields.
November was mild month with
Us, hut the sitting snow of the 9th
and 7ih inst. with The bowling and
pief cling winds, and the falling of tie
mercury to six degrees below zero,
promised us winter in earnest. SO
our guests from the extreme south
ern states nimbly talkedof sleigh rides
to-day, bat warm rain yesterday
and last night, grounded their hopes
of this kind. We hear that the
Green Mountain state is supplied
with good sleighing at present.
Hoping to see the MONITOR soon,
am yours truly, A. ). IL

-"<S-
OLD AGE.

We grow old, and we can hide the
fact neither from ourselves nor from
others. Neither should we attempt
to do so. 1t is grievous mistake,
this striving to govern our evening
of life by rules which applied in the
hale noontide. A failure of our
physical system inevitably attends
the declining years, and yet sickness
pain and sudden collapse of our pow
ers, physical and mental, should no
more be regarded as natural to old
age than that they are as natural TO
the young. If the manner of life be
rightly adapted to each period,
h,alth and comfort will he the rule
at aii times, and old age will bring a
satisfaction and a capacity for use
fulness as much greater than that Of
middle life. as the experience has
been wider, 1t is quite as absurd to
refuse TO recognize and prepare for
old age as it would be to expect a
child to possess the endurance Of
maturity. The system cannot with
stand the strains which it once
could, neither can it rally as quickly
when it sustains injuries conse-
quently the work must be less labo-
rious and long continued. The
stomach is really the key to health,
and since this in common with the
other organs of the body, shares in
the general decay, it must be favor
ed and sometimes decisive changes
must be made in the quality of food
supplied. Each one should regulate
this matter for himself, because
tastes and neccssaries vary accord
ing to individual cases. Woonsocket
Patriot.

At revival excitement in Con-
necticut, a respectable old lady be-
came converted. and was proposed
for membership of the church. There
was a meeting held for the examina-
tion of candidates.
"Well my dear Sister Rogers"
said the venerable examiner, adj
dressing our friend, "please relate
your experience. !"
''The old lady, on being thus adj
dressed, lifted up her voice.
"Well," said she, 81 don't know
what to say, as told my husband,
Mr.. Rogers, before | came here, but

change, as l told Mr.. Rogers, my
husband, after | came home from
meeting when became convinced
I was the most sinful creature in the
world, as l told my husband, Mr..
Rogers and says he, 4 think so
too.' Then told Mr.. Rogers, my
husband, 1 was going to lead diff
ferent life, was going to trim my
lamp, and have it burning agin the
bridegroom come. Then Mr.. Rogers.
my husband, said he didn't see what
| wanted of another, but he
didn't make no objections. Then
l told Mr.. Rogers, my husband,
that / would join the church, and
prepare myself for the place where
the worm dieth not and the fire is
not quenched; and my husband, Mr..
Rogers, told me I'd better"
She was taken in, and Mr.. Rogers,
her hus band, made no objection.

DOWN ON THE JERICHoRoAD

oO you nave SOt yOuTSeii liitO tTOu-
BILE, my son? Gone a little wrong,
have you? Yes, well, that means
you know that you have gone clear
wrong, because there is only one
kind Of right and on" kind Of wrong
there's no mugwumpery in morals,
my boy. And you've had such
hard time getting back that i:'s made
you little bitter and cynical, and
you think all the world is rather hard
and pityless, and especially severe
on you? Well, l wouldn't feel that
way at all, if were you. l don't
think ! ever did feel that way, and
know more about it than you do.
Pve been further down the Jericho
road than you. Went down there to
let my beard grow. Great town for
toots, from way back. It's a bad
country. Never heard of but one
good woman in Jericho, and she did
not move In good society. But, my
son, it isn't society's fault that you
got into trouble. You knew what
the Jericho road was before you went
down that way. You knew there
was q curse on the town. You were
safe enough in Jerusalem, why didn't
you stay there? Don't feel bitterly
toward all the world because you fell
among thieves and got cleaned out.
1t is Il kind, good-natured, forgiving
old world, if You give 1t q chance to
he fursiving. True, it doesn't al
ways look that way to fellow in
! trouble. because then the fellow is
apt to look at the wrong people,
You found on the Jericho road, say
six or eight thieves-that is, half a
| dozen professionals and two amateurs
who passed by on The other side
and one good Samaritan, and natur-
ally it seems to you that the leaven
of good is utterly lost in that great
mass of fascality and hypocrisy; but
bless you, my son, in the great, hon
est, living world that is trying to do
right and trying to lead men to bet
ter things than Jericho excursions, In
the only world that really loves and
cares for just such young fellows as
you, in the real world of men and
women who deal with the young man
all the more gently when his smart
ing wounds are deepest, the one good
Samaritan outweighs regiment of
these villains who beat you, and rob
you, and pass you by on the road to
Jericho. Never mind the priest and
the Levite, my son. They were 60
ing down to Jericho, too, you remem-
Der. that's the kind of priests they
were. And one closing word, my
son. Unless you are smarter and
stronger than the thieves down Jeri-
cho way~~and guess may be you
are not; very few men are-why you
keep off that road. You stay In Je-
rusalem, and you'll have more mon
ey and less headache. .-Burdette an
B, oohlyn Eagle.

A little boy in Warrenton, Ca,
visited his aunt in the country not
long since. One day at the dinner
table the lady complained that jar
of favorite preserves had mysterious
ly disappeared from the pantry. Each
one present disclaimed any knowl-
edge of the fact except the little boy,
who remained studiously silent. At
length he was asked if he knew what
had become of the missing fruit, when
he replied: ''My pa don't allow me
to talk at the table"

eve won't have Christmas until
after dinner" the mother said, look
ing questioningly at her husband you
and jamie must be tired after your
ride and will enjoy it more them
The children gladly acquiesced,
and gathered eagerly about JAMIE, land
she, restrained the grateful tears and
repeating softly to herself,
ST ask thee for grateful love
Through constant watching wise,''
entered heartily into all their talk un-
til their parents sent them off to let
jamie have nap.
After dinner the house was all
darkened, with no light but that of
the blazing fire. Then the folding
doors were opened and a brilliant
Christmas scene was revealed. jamie
had never seen a Christmas tree and
had known very little Christmas of
any kind at school. In her own home
she did remember a little lonesome
stocking hung once a year, but even
that seemed SO long ago. This was
almost too beautiful to be true. And
when the presents began to be dis
tributed and her own name was call
ed, until little heap of precious
mementoes of love and interest had
gathered by her side, she no longer
tried to restrain her feelings but lean
ing her head on Mary Louis shoulder
had good cry.
The next morning when they were
discussing their Christmas gifts her
uncle looked up to see what she had
to say on the subject. She turned a
very happy face to him in reply and
said, II have had one Christmas gift
that l have needed long time and
hope to keep as long as | live
"What Is t?'' they asked IN cho-
rms. Looking still very steadily al
her uncle, she answered softly, "The
| gift of thankful heart"

The Snow.

Tenderly falling DER forest and town,
Weaving old earth bright, crystalline crown
Weaving shroud for the beautiful flowers,
Pilmg a monument white in their bowers,
Beautiful snow angels, sent from above,
Pure as cherub and holy as love.
Silently covering out of our sight,
All the unsightiy things, all of earth's blight.
See, the brown fields are in bridal robes dres't,
See the bare trees and the snow-laden nest.
Beautiful fairies, how swiftly you change
Natures brown face to one pearly and strange.
Softly as mother love soothing the pain
OF suffering BARNS, you're falling again
Down on the grass where our hearts idols rest,
Folding them close to your soft downy breast,
Beautiful messengers comforters you,
Sent by friend who is tender and true

The Correspondents Dream.

Each morn and night with faithful step
The correspondent came,
The weary tramp of half league,
Day, week and month the same.
His well-worn satchel swinging brisk,
No walking stick to aid;
Twas filed they said with manuscripts
And tokens of his trade.
Sunshine and shade through thick and thin,
Toll was welcome guest,
But at his homely fireside
He found the need of rest.
AT home he took his easy chair,
Free from his daily scheming,
Till soul and sense gave way to sleep,
And consequential dreaming.
In slumber's gentle journey on,
He saw himself depicted
In morning tour and evening trip,
But not to walk restricted.
In a new guise he saw himself
Well mounted on steed
Who distanced all the other nags,
Who was not matched for speed.
He saw himself sit firm and straight,
And whistle through the air,
With whirling pinions, -stradtfling legs
Like Gilpin on his mare.
The horse he rode was one of might,
Not he of flesh and blood,
A bicycle of wire and steel
Was cr,inpinor o,a tho rood
His satchel now was at his back,
Well strapped and bucSled neat,
No useless whalebone in his boot,
No spurs upon his feet.
But in his cap a crimson plume
Kept nodding in the air;
He viewed the picture o'er and DER,
And called it very fair.
He whizzed like fun along the road,
From Auburn's plains to Barbour's,
And gracefully he rounded curves,
And shot through shady arbors
His workshop was pleasure den,
His home fairy bower,
His route three minutes morn and night,
Before it took an hour.
His future then looked bright as day,
Full free from ugly care;
"Get up, you brute!" his wife called out,
"You've broke the rocking CHAIR
