Political Pail

Is a rather uncertain thing to depend
upon as a basis for obtaining the nee
essaries OF life. With the frequent
changes Of party somebody is sure to
get left, so that on the whole any man
OF brains and ability is really fortu-
nate if, by missing fat public job, he
is compelled to take up some such
business as an agency Tor DIR. FOOTE'S
"PLA1N HOME TALK" which is sure to
be a good paying business as long as
he will devote himself to it. A really
popular medical book such as "PLAIN

THE WAGES OF SIN,

AS we have it from the word OF God
that call men have sinned and come
short Of the glory Of Cod" so like
wise from the same authority we learn
that "the wages Of sin is death" and
that "the soul that sinneth shall die. i"
These words from the mouth OF the
Divine Law-Giver leave us in no doubt
as to "the consequences of sin" But
to every one under the penalty OF the
law cometh the truth purchased by
the greatest sacrifice ever made in the
universe of God-"the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ oul
Lord" In this truth way of escape
is provided from the penalty of "sin'
to every one who will accept the ofe'
of free salvation.

The Christian life is one OF growth.
A happy line Of thought is growing in
the knowledge Of Jesus Christ our
Lord. Dot to be taken up with the
blessings that we have in Christ, but
rather with Him who purchased them
at such cost, even to the shedding
OF His liies blood. -Ah! to know Him,
His sufferings for us, His love to us,
His power to keep us. Ever precious
thoughts. Then to think and know
Him as our strength to uphold us; as
our peace to rule us as our JOY to ill
us. Who has not had these expert
ences? Then to know Him in all the
sufferings OF His death in all the glo
ry of his person; in all the plentitudt
of His grace and the love OF his heart
II count all things but loss for the ex
cellency of the knowledge OF Christ Je
sus my Lord" Phil. 3: S.-Th

Saving the Forests.

New York Sum Neither the pre-
sent nor the prospective timber sup
ply Of the world, already greatly re-
duced by century OF gross forest mis-
management, justifies any such loss
as this country has experienced du-
ring the last six weeks, and it is now
more than ever desirable that the
American people should enact in
every State sensible laws for the pro
lection Of forest property, and then
make their enforcement possible
through just appreciation OF the val
ue OF the forest to the community
Such laws without the backing Of pub
lie interests are useless. The lessor
which can be learned in the misfor
tunes of Michigan and Wisconsin
should not be neglected.
