SUNDAY SCHOOL PARAGRAPHS.

Some Sunday schools in the city sus-
pend in the summer, and many in the coun-
try sleep through the winter. When late
September is bringing the former schools
into active life again, the latter are settling
down into their winter nap. Why should
not schools which think they must take a
nap, wake up, and keep awake during the
winter?
THAT new teacher did not keep his class
long; what has become of him? Oh, the boys
worried him and he could not endure it, SO
he gave up in disgust. How will that excuse
stand the test of the judgment day? Contrast
it with the spirit of the martyrs. Nay, con-
trast it with the patience of the teacher of
the next class, who has worse boys, and be
ashamed of yourself.
In the year 1903 Sunday-sehool medal
was given to girl attending Sunday school
in Gloucester, England, the city of Robert
Raikes. Mr.. Henry Fl. Browne, of New York
city, owns a medal, which WAS given to his
mother. He regards it as curiosity, never
having heard of Sunday school medals of an
earlier date. The medal is almost exactly
the size of a silver dollar. Upon one side is
an open Bible, encircled with wreath.
Above it is the date 1908, and below it the let
tiers ii. & L. Around the rim are the words
"Reward of Obedience and Remember
thy Creator in the days of thy youth" On
the reverse side is a representation of Christ
blessing the children, surrounded by the
words, "Snffer little children to come, for of
such is the kingdom of God"
The Christian Intelligencer urges Sun
day-school speakers not to exaggerate:--A
young man once delivered an address at a
Sunday school picnic in which he related a
story about precocious youth. He was af-
terward askedi if he believed the story which
he told in his speech about that boy; and,
after he had analysed it more closely than he
had taken the pains to do before, he frankly
confessed that he did not, that it was impos-
sible, and expressed regrets that he had used
it. When man of considerable repute as a
Sunday school speaker, tells about Fifth
Avenue young lady, engaged in mission
school work, gathering up pile of tracts and
child's papers, and placing her knee upon
them as they lay upon the floor to strap them
together, and then throwing them over her
shoulder as she sailies forth into the street to
distribute them among the abodes of desti-
tuition, everybody concludes, who has any
sense of propriety and any knowledge of
what belongs to refined womanhood and de-
cent department, that he is indulging in ex-
aggeration bordering on falsehood; and, no
the principle that nothing is stronger than
its weakest point, his speech is considered
weak indaad

moved with her husband and family to Wash

tied on their farm near Greenleaf, where the
family have ever since resided. The funeral
services were conducted by the writer at the

with the afflicted family. Mrs. Durham was

ssUNDAY-sCH00L WORK.


Sunday school work is work. Drones car
not develop or even direct it. 1t takes time
and thought and diligence. 1t begins with
deep conviction and ends with effective exc
cution. And all the way from first thought
to final deed it requires resolution and devo-
ton. 1t requires brain work and foot work
and nerve work to be Sunday school teach
er or officer. One must think and go and
feel; and must keep on thinking and going
and feeling most of the time. Sunday
lounge-lovers have no place in Sunday school.
Sunday school work is school work. 1t is
educational. 1t gives ideas. 1t prepares
pupils to desire and to feel after and to take
ideas that are held by the teacher. use
those little words thoughtfully = "desire,"
"feel AFTER" "take." Teachers do not tell it
all at once If they are teachers they hold
ideas and hold them for their pupils, but they
hold them by sort of partial concealment.
They reveal a little and conceal much. Thus
curiosity in the pupil is excited; and curiosity
excites desire to know; and desire sets the
pupil at work, wondering, inquiring, feeling
after the concealed knowledge, and he seizes
get no more the teacher gives and thus the
pupil takes. And what be desires, feels after
and takes, he is likely to retain and prize
and use. The Sunday-school is school, and
must be organized and conducted as school.
1t must have government, program, place
and time for everything, and everything in
its place and time. 1t is a school, and not
oh n and ~
ton; school, and not dramatic club;
school, and not concert troupe or chorus.
Sunday-school work is Sunday school work.
It is done-much of it on, and all of it for, a
sacred day. 1t is intended to be a help to-
ward Sabbath observance. 1t is an opportu-
nifty for Sabbath worship. 1t is an educator
of intellect and heart and conscience in or
life. 1t is means of grace; as much so as
pulpit and prayer meeting. 1t is designed
to mould character after the divine image,
according to the divine law, under the minis
tration of the Holy Spirit. 1t should there
fore be reverent in it's tone. No frivolity
should weaken the force of the holy truths it
teaches. Its educational elements should
not put such stress upon intellectual activity
as to chill spiritual fervor. 1t should be
place for Gods worship on Gods day, in
Gods house, among Gods people, and all
for Gods glory.
This threefold province of the institution,
work, school, Sunday, will meet the three
fold demand of mans executive, intellectual
and moral nature, and life, head and heart
will be helped by Sunday school work.

Young men, says the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher in one of his discourses, Take your
ideal of what is right, not from the great of
this world. Go not to presidents, or secreta-
ries. or generals, or merchants, or ministers
nor to any man for your ideal. Even the
highest and best men are so sympathetic
with their age, and nation, and time, that
they are not fit to be models. Take your
measure of character and duty from Him
that was despised. Initiate Him that was
crowned with thorns. Follow Him that bore
the cross. Bear Christ's cross, and you shall
be an heir of Christ's throne"

CHRISTIAN UNITY.

CHRISTIAN UNITY.
The unity of Christian disciples is the
prominent theme of JESUS intercession.
This has been impaired, as in the case of the
twelve, by personal jealousies and the want
of Christian charity. The love of COP, we
reverently believe, cherishes the PERCEPTION
that the Christian family grows and will
finally be made perfect in love. Only thus
can its unity be found. We are to be one
not by concealing our differences, not by
casting away our conscientious convictions,
not by refraining from the expression of our
views of the Gospel but in spite of all differ
ences, by the reconciling power of Divine
love. Christians will respect each others
convictions and discuss them in the spirit of
the purest goodwill; and will find their one
ness in common love for JESUS, for man and
for GoD. The unity of the Church will be the
prophecy and harbinger of the Salvation of
the world. The unity of the Church by the
terms of JESUS prayer is not only oneness
of the body but oneness of it with JESUS
and the Father. "That they may be one; as
thou Father art in me and | in thee, that they
also may be in u.s." 1t is a grand unity
wrought by the faith which works by love.
The Father in JESUS, by His Holy Spirit; the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit dwell
ing in the souls of sincere disciples through
their faith in the Saviour, and their obedi-
ence of his word. Let us pray for the Di-
vine unity, and do what we can to bring it
about
Our prayers for the Church of CHRIST, and
especially of that family of which by Divine
Providence we are part, will rise up spOn-
taneously to the Father of Spirits, if our
souls are earnest and sincere. If we are
Universalsts, our prayers will go out, not
only for ourselves and the Church, but for
all the world.

There is nothing so disSuzting to
the lover Of fair play as the bien-
NAL shower Of filth which bespat-
tiers the candidates fer public bon
ors in this State. This year the
Democrats arc making votes for
Stewart and Stevenson by import
ing Z professional spatterer from San
Francisco to cover them with cam
-psisn SANDER. The charges
brought against these two men are
Of the NEST reckless and unheard
Of that an unbridled imagination
could invent, and I'D to the present
writing not single charge made
against either of these gentlemen
has been substantiated, but on the
contrary. nearly every one of them
,li.prsved by uncomfortable cyl
dence.
The manner In which the charges
arc reiterated aud ciung to after
the most positive proef TO the con
,rary, can only be explained on the
hypothesis that the editor Of the
Chronicle reads no other paper but
his own.
The importation was made for
tho simple reason that no Nevada
writer who knew the real facts in
The case could be induced TO take
the job. Il required some one

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. Is.
Unless the weather becomes milder and the
country roads again become impossible good
weeks trade is in prospect. The travelling sales
men report country merchants as buying quite
freely, when the fsct is considered that there is
little object in stocking up ahead. so
steady have prices ruled for many
months. There is this in favor of a
better trade, however, A majority of the mer-
chants have settled their last years accounts
and are now ready to begin anew. In prices,
to-day, there were but few changes Teas. cof-
fees. canned goods all steady and rather firm;
sugars hardly as strong. The leather market, as
well, shows decided strength. The produce mar
ket is more active, and prices, while no higher
are much frmer than a week ago. Irish pota-
toes are scarce and tend higher sweet potatoes
and apples are stil in large supply and cheap

While prices in this market range about the
same as Saturdays quotations. dealers were
more cautious in their bids, which indicates low

tinue heavy To-day there was brisk demand
for all articles on the list Below are given prices,
