this made Christianity's errand necessary.
1t came with its message Of reconciliation,
telling men OF a common father. and en-
joining the duties of brotherhood and in
viting all into a fellowship Of equal immun-
tiles and privileges. For this reason is
Christianity itself species Of socialism,
and, as such, the friend ard ally of the
workingman. The gospel has consecrated
manhood, and 1t sanctions with its bene-
dictions all aims and enterprises which seek
TO abolish unjust restraints upon mems
powers, and to secure the full measure of
award which they may righteOusly deserve.
1t is therefore called to play new part in
helping adjust the differences which be-
come portents of peril the moment they
are ignored. The expanding literature on
this subject, the extended discussions Of
the questions involved. and the growing de-
sire TO come to better understanding of
the rights involved are all of them hopeful
signs, and when the church and society
alike turn to the work of removing want

THE SEASONS PERIL.

Now the neat and careful housewife,
AS she often did before,
Rises in the morning early,
Sweeps the sidewalk at her door,
Pours upon il pals OF water,
Just as hot as hot can be,
Then admires that shining sidewalk,
All so clean and fair TO see.
Scarcely Is the job completed
When the water, warm and nice,
Parting with its heat directly,
Soon converted into ice,
Forms film upon The sidewalk
Thin and cold as charity,
And slide is there established
BY the urchins speedily.
Then the good man, outward going,
Somewhat old and short of sight,
Strides that sidewalk and discovers
All the stars that shine at night.
Harsh and wild the words he utters.
Not bit like songs OF praise,
AS he rubs himself and wonders.
Wonders a. woman's ways.

Recent Talk.
The following was one of the points
made last Sabbath evening by DR.. Dana of
Plymouth church, in speaking upon the out
look of the new year:
Socialistic questions never so prominent
as now, only prove that the best thought
Of the time is being directed to a
wise consideration of the grave problems
growing out of the relations of labor to
capital. The immense and compactly or
gained trades unions indicate that the
working classes are alive to all that concerns
their veal. However misunderstood they
may be. and by some misjudged. in the
main they are working to improve the con-
dtion of wage-earners. They represent a
new social force, the intent of which n not
destructive, but upbullding. The world
had lost very largely the principles which

Lightly she Knocked him with Jest and quip,
And curl of her red, disdainful lip;
Lightly she laughed, as he rode away
In the golden CLEAN of dying day.
Squirting his steed with frightened rein
At the sound of her gay Auf Wiederschen,
And cursing the cruel fate that set
His heart at the feet OF u vain coquette.
But the restless hound she held in check
Felt the hand that lay on his shaggy mock
Culver and stir, while the shadows grew
Dusky and dark in the tremulous blue
OF her April eyes and a weary sigh
Broke unawares in her airy cry;
AYE, these are the times of Greed and Gold.

Each stakeholder has one vote in business

The Trades and Labor Assembly.
Few, comparatively, realize the imDor-
lance of the Trades assembly meetings. The
delegates from the different unions compose
the assembly, and man appointed on a COM
mittee can be said TO be the direct represen-
tative OF 10. 900 workingmen-the strongest
organization in the city. If il was not for
the assembly this strength would be wasted
by distribution. The fable of the seven
sticks that singly could be easily broken
across the knee. but when bound together
were able TO resist any mans might, Is not
a more striking illustration than the Trades
assembly of the truth of the saying that
in union there is strength"
-
There seems disposition of the part of
some to overlook and underestimate the
true power and usefulness of the assembly.
Its force can be made 10 tell with crushing
effect, and for this reason the movements
OF the body should be made only after care
full elaboration.
So
The unions would do well, not only 10 re-
quire punctual attendance Of delegates,
but some system of transmitting an official
report. which will give brief resume of
the debates, should be adopted. The mat
tiers acted upon are too weighty TO be in
trusted to the memory of delegate. who
may not attend. and may himself get his
information second-handed.
-
AT the Trades assembly Friday night
some one asked delegate if he was in an
independent" position. ''Yes. am indie
pendent and in an Independent country;
and I'm going to act as if was independ-
emit" Another speaker said: Humanity
to humanity is my religion" ''Do ali the
good you can wherever you can, to who
ever you can" Rather trite sayings.

PAY or Pass.
TNs,UarE Call

There is a general interchange of passes
among railroad men, and the President and
Viee-President of the Pennsylvania Railroad
have passes all over the country. President
Roberts is a very strict man. One very stormy
day in Winter he got on the New York divis-
ion and took seat in the middle car. The
conductor knew him, as we all do, and when
he passed him the President simply nodded.
1t was a catch, and Roberts was only trying TO
see if his man would break the rules and not
make him show his pass. The conductor fell
into the trap. When he passed through the
train again Roberts arose from his seat, and,
tapping him on the shoulder, said:
See here, you have not seen my pass"
No, sir" faltered the conductor, "but-but
i know who you are"
THAT makes no difference" retorted Rob
erts with frown, "the rules are made to Do
obeyed and not TO be broken. The rules laid
down for your guidance say that any passenger
who has neither ticket nor pass must pay
his fare or else you must eject him from the
train"
ST know it replied the conductor, but -
"NO butts Now you may GO"
81 haven't seen your pass yet, though" de-
murely remarked the ticket uncher, wishing
to demonstrate the thoroughnesS of the lesson.
That's right" replied Roberts, approx
ingly, make no difference between the PreSi-
dent of the road and the poorest passenger"
He reached in his inside coat pocket and
then into his vest pockets. His face grew red
and he fumbled around his hip pockets. The
conductor grinned. Roberts's sallOw complex
ion grew paler and then redder. He went
through his pockets again, but no passes. The
conductors smile grew more expansive.
"Humph :" exclaimed the President "Sin-
gular! just stop as you pass this way again"
The conductor stopped, and the President
dryly handed him a So bill and told him to
take out the fare. He had left his book Of
passes at his office.

"SenatOr," said strange gentleman, address
ing the Hon. John Sherman on q train the
other day, the Conductor of this train has lost
his pOeketbook containing 500, and unless he
finds it be is a ruined man. Now, believe
you have it in your power to relieve him Of his
embarrassment. In short, Senator, / believe
you have that poeketbook in your valise"
''Sir!" exclaimed the Senator, rising to his
feet.
Pardon me. Senator, do not accuse you Of
anything. 1t was all a mistake"
"Well sir, let us look, said the Senator, still
very indignant. The yalise was thrown open,
and there, sure enough, was the pOcketbOOk.
The Senator had gone to the conductors room
to make a change of linen, and had pulled down
the blinds. In the darkness he had gathered
up, with the caSt-oG linen, the pOeketbOOk,
which the conductor had carelessly left upon
the seat. 10 took lots of nerve for the strange
gentleman to seem to accuse the Senator of
theft, but he was so firmly convinced of the
accuracy of his theory, on being made ae-
quainted with the facts, that he undertook the
