Isenefit of the New Library.

Residents on Capitol Hill are much
pleased at the signing Of the Congressional
Library Building bill by the President,
which locates the Library on one of the two
squares just east Of the Capitol. Most per-
sons are in favor of the southern of the two
squares, that is, between East Capitol and
street south, and First and Second streets
east The majority of the residences on
this site are of smaller size, which would
make the purchase much cheaper to the
Government. The high and perfectly dry
condition of the surrounding property makes
1t good for building sites, ,and as the contem-
plated building is to have spacious grounds
around 1t, it will make the vicinity more
beautiful and conducive to health. 1t will
increase the value of real estate. No one
can ever have an aversion to residing near a
seat of knowledge. 1t is thought that 1t will
benefit the whole Of East Washington by
driving the business men In the immediate
vicinity towards Lincoln Park, where they
ore more needed.

angling will be better than ever In Eastern

the river improvements, which, by making
the river continually muddy, prevent the
fish from going up to the clearer water

How to Reach the Country and What
You VIII Find There,


You VIII Find There.
Hundreds of persons availed them
selves of the beautiful weather to go to
the woods yesterday. The banks Of
Rock Creek and Piney Branch were
vocal with the chatter and laughter Of
children. Many wild flowers were found
blossoming on the sunny slopes of the
hills, and the tender green foliage just
developing into form gave the country
decidedly spring-like appearance.
Wild birds were plentiful and the
woods echoed with their songs. The
peculiar chirp of the robin red breast
was recognized, while. .blackbirds, noisy
and hoarse, assembled in great 1ocks
on the tree.tops, where they appeared
to be committee of the whole on the
state of the weather. 1t was very like
the lower branch of the national leg
islativo body, inasmuch as every bird
seemed determined not to be put down
by so triiling an object as the Speak
er's gavel.
One of the charms of Washington
is the case with which the country may
be reached, and that, too, without the
necessity Of passing through the un-
pleasant suburbs peculiar to most large
cities. Step aboard horse.car going
east, north or west, and In few mo-
ments you are upon the edge of a
country as far, apparently, from the
heart of the city as you would be after
two hours drive out of New York or
Philadelphia. A few minutes walk
brings you into region as wildly pic
turesque and free from unpleasant fca.
lures as can be found anywhere.
Five minutes walk from the western
terminus of the Metropolitan horse.car
Foundry Branch, aregion that abounds
its beautiful hills you may forget the
city as completely as though you were
among the Blue Ridge Mountains. Get
of west bound car at Connecticut
avenue and go out the Twentieth street
road and in five minutes you are
among some of the most picturesque
scenery of Rock Creek. Ten minutes
walk from the end of the Mount Pleas
ant extension of the Fourteenth street
line of cars brings you to either Rock
Creek or Piney Branch. Keep the
Fourteenth street road and you soon
find yourself upon the banks of little
branch that makes very great deal of
noise in proportion to its size, the
banks Of which are sought by those ia
miliar with Washington's surroundings
for its variety of wild flowers. Turn
to the left and 60 down the first street
in Mt p leasant after leaving the car
and you will soon find yourself at the
junction of the two creeks, and in as
picturesque woods as any along the
Juniatta. A short walk after leaving
the cars at the eastern terminus of the
Columbia line and you may either
take the Bladensburg turnpike or keep
the Benning's road and find yourself in
the heart of the country. And many
would find, if they would avail them
selves of the opportunities afforded
them for few hours jaunt into the
country once in awhile. that they would
acquire better appetites, better diges.

You will be made strong for whatever is really
your duty. The strength will come largely in
the work.
4. Like Thomas, we lose many choice bless
irgs by not being with the disciples In their
evening assembly
5. There ia sense and way in which a
parent or teacher may rightly declare absolu-
tion Honest earnest seekers often grope long
in the dark for the blessing of pardon aud ac-
ceptance; they have evidently complied with
Gods requirements, they manifest ''the fruits
of the spirit" in their lives, but they cannot
''eeep as they wish, ard so are unhappy 1t
may be right to say: "In the name of Jesus
Christ declare you are forgiven. Go in peace.
You may be convinced of the fact that you
may speak with confidence of what God has
done for them
SPECIAL APPLICATION.
But the great teaching of the whole lesson I'M
doubtedly is that every sincere seeker may be
personally and fully satisfied that Jesus Christ
is his Lord and his God. We may not come to
the assurance of faith" as some else did,
but God in some way will graciously assure US
of the truth as it is in Jesus Christ. And for
these latter days the moral and spiritual argu-
ments of Christianity are stronger than those
that satisfied Thomas. We have come to dis
trust the mere testimony of our eyes and ears
Had we nothing but the mere words OF men,
that they had seen and felt the body of the risen
Lord, such proof would not avail to-day, stand
ing alone But the greater evidences of their
changed characters, their miraculous and
prophetic powers, their answering consciousness
to the words of the Lord Jesus the manifest
presence of the assembled Lord in the history OF
the church. these proofs, added TO the first pro-
duce certainty; personal conversion, and the
personal witness Of the Holy Spirits with our
spirits that we are tho children OF God, are the
most satisfying and unanswerable proofs that
Jesus Christ is to-day both Lord aud God.
Such confidence is the need and privileges of
every Christian worker, and is essential to
power.
