Four Trenton N. J.) Sunday liquor sellers
were recently sentenced to six months In 'he

A Glorious Church.

st. Paul, in his Epistle to the Ephesians,
states that Christ ''gave himself" for the
church ''that he might present it to himself
a glorious church, not having spot or
wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it
should be holy and without blemish." Thus,
in the mind Of the spirit, holiness is the glory
of the church. 1.-The kings daughter is all
glorious within," because she is "pure in
heart"-not because Of physical charms or
worldly accessories Of fashion. wealth and
popularity. Her beauty is ''the beauty Of
holiness" her charms are the outfashings OF
moral excellence. But do we fully
realize thisi Which is the more fire.
euently aimed at-popularity before the
world, or to be "without spot or wrinkle, or
any such thinga" To be popular with this
world is to be conformed to this world, and
that is to soil the white garments with the
moral pollution Of this world, and SO to lose
the beauty of holiness. Would it not be too
great sacrifice for so small and cheap a
boonl Oh, that we might all strive to he
holy and without blemish in the sight Of
God. For the holiness of the church depends
upon the holiness of the individual members
who constitute the church. (Evang. Mes.

The tiger which escaped from cir
Gus in Connecticut more than a week
ago, and caused no little uneasiness to
farmers in the northeastern part of the
State, was captured by the circus en-
ployes. They located the animal in
the dense forests of Tolland, and dis
covered the path which he followed in
going to a stream. They buried q trap
in the path and attached to it strong
sapling, which was bent over and held
by spring. Concealing themselves,
they waited patiently, and few hours
later heard the tiger screaming and
snarling. They found him hanging by
one foot in mid-air. When he had been
securely bornd by ropes he was low
cred into strong cage and returned to
his old quarters.

RELIGIOUS READING.
Christus Consolatof.

Holy, holy, holy Cross.
All else won count but loss,
Sapphire suns are dust and dross
In the radiance Of the Face
Which reveals Gods way Of grace
Open to rebel race.
Ransom He and ransomed we,
Love and justice here agree;
Let the angels bend and see
Endless Is this mystery:
He, the Judge, our pardon wins:
In His wounds our peace begins.
Looking on the accursed tree.
When we God as Saviour see,
Him as Lord we gladly choose,
Him as King cannot refuse,
Love of sin with guilt we lose.
So the Cross the soul renews
In his righteousness we hide
Last long woe of guilt and pride;
In His spirit we abide.
Naught are we, our all Is He:
Christ's pierced hands have set US free;
Grace is this beyond degree.
Glory His above all height;
Mercy, Majesty and Might;
God in man is loves delight;
Man in God of God hath sight;
Love is Gods throne, great and white;
Day in God hath never night.

One Glass of Wine Too Much.

A glass Of wine, for instance, changed the
history Of France for nearly twenty years.
Louis Philippe, king Of the French, had
son, the Duke of Orleans. and heir to the
throne, who always drank only certain
number of glasses Of wine, because even one
more made him tipsy. On memorable
morning he forgot to count the number Of
glasses, and took one moro than usual. When
entering his carriage he stumbled, frighten-
ing the horses and causing them to run. In
attempting to leap from the carriage his
head struck the pavement and he s"on died.
That glass Of wine overthrow the Orleans
rule, confiscated their property OF f20,0O0,oo0
and sent the whole family into exile
