A Great Deal is Made of Men
i'm the Universe.

We see this in the construction of the
universe. Behold the pains which
God takes to fit up this earth as a home
for man! He built up the sun to light
the earth for him. The sun is so i'm
mense that it weighs as much as $685.
600 earths. He plants stars, far greater
than the earth, out in space, that he
may guide his ships by them. He
builds up heaven into which he may
receive him, when he is ready for a
higher and better life. He sends his
Son to die for him. He himself acts as
his guide and serves him. In view of
all these things we can truly say, &" A
great deal is made of men in the uni
verse" But what of this fact that a
great deal is made of men in the uni
verse? 1t enjoins a duty upon men.
This duty: Man should make a great
deal of himself. He should recognize
his possibilities. He should live up to
his dignity. He should glorify the God
who has glorfied him. If he lives up
to his privileges he will grow and adj
vance: if he does not, he will retro
grade and deteriorate. Naturalists tell
us of canary that was once a sweet
singer but who lost its canary nature
by dwelling among sparrows and falling
in with their ways. 1t so deteriorated
that it could do nothing, and did moth
ing but twitter, twitter, twitter all its
days. God made man for high things
and endowed him with a great nature
but if he neglect his nature and dwell
among things which are below him he
will sink beyond all recall into nature
that is low and mean. Man should
make great deal of himself. BY do
ing this he will glorify God.-Dr. d.

At Last.

'Tis sweet to rest The years bring peace
The peace that comes of pains surcease,
OF life's decay
And I, who used to chafe and fret,
To watch the hours with wild regret
Slip fast away,
grow contented not to do,
To watch Times sands slip idly through
without tear;
And as the world goes raging by
smile to know at least that
Am done with fear.
I do not fret that, idly now
My worn feet lag upon the brow
OF LIES long hill;
Around me Natures pulses beat,
I pause to catch its rhythncs sweet
Ecstatic thrill.
And somehow from the measured rhyme
Voices loved in olden time
Call softly, Come"
My restless heart grows calm and still
And hushed, l wait upon the hill
My summons home

Cleveland on Arbltration.

WASHINGTON, March 30 "A statement
was published here this afternoon in effect
that President Cleveland had been in tele-
graphic communication with Jay Gould
concerning the labor troubles in the
Southwest, urging him not to stand in the
way Of arbitration. 1t can be stated on
authority that the president has had no
communication with Gould or anyone else
concerned in relation to the labor troubles.
Sometime ago, much impressed with the
necessity for some sort of arbitration
board, composed Of persons whose charac-
ter would give confidence to employees al d
employers, and whose authority would be
respected, he did think of calling the at
tention of congress to the subject, as one
demanding early and considerate action,
but he learned it would be suggested by
one Of the committees Of the house and he
has done no more than make some sug-
g%estions TO Mr.. O'Neill.
