Tho Point Was Seen.

A subscription paper for some relig-

church member in town recently,
when he remarked, 'Well, 1 can give

Spells in English Fashion.

The fact that William D. Howells,
the novelist, spells in English fashion
has always caused comment from
Americans. Honour" ''parlour,
etc., are to be found in the Bostonian's
works. The explanation is that he has
his works set up in Great Britain in
order to secure English copyright. But
what he gains in copyright he lcscs in

/ learn also from this parable of the
text that our degrees of happiness in
heaven will be graduated according to
our degrees of usefulness on earth.
Several of the commentators agree in
making this parable the same one as
in Luke, where one man was made
ruler over five cities and another made
ruler over two cities. Would it be
fair and right that the protested Chris
tan man who has lived very near the
line between the world and the church
the man who has often compromised
his Christian characteristic man who
has never spoken out for God-the
man who has never been known as q
Christian only on communion days
the man whose great struggle has
been to see how much of the world
he could get and yet win. heaven
lis it right to suppose that
that man will have as grand and
glorious a seat in heaven as the man
who gave all his energies of body,

MANS LACK OF ADAPTABILITY TO CIR
CUMSTANCES.
Again: I learn from the text that
inferiority of gifts is no excuse
for Incidence. This man, with the
smallest amount of money, came
growing into the presence Of the
owner of the estate, as much as to say:
If you had given me 90, 400 would
have brought $3.50 as well as this
other man. You gave me only 81, $50,
and I hardly thought it worth while
to use it at all. So I hid it in a nap
kin, and it produced no result It's
because you didn't give me enough. !"
But inferiority of faculties is no excuse
for incidence. Let me say to the man
who has the least qualifications, by the
grace of God he may be made almost
omnipotent. The merchant, whose
cargoes come out from every island
of the sea, and who, by one
stroke of the pen, can change the
whole face of American commerce,
has not SO much power as you may
have before God, in earnest, faithful
and continuous prayer. You say you
have no faculty. Do you not under
