Like a Wave of the Sea.

Christian Leader.
A man without any fixed princi-
pies is like boat out at sea without
oar or rudder, carried by every wave
and every wind. A moment ago he
was going east, now behold, he is
going west. One moment he is rid
ing the wave, the next he is in the
valley. In politics he is Democrat,
Republican, a Greenbacker or a
Prohibitionist, as circumstances are
brought to bear upon him. He be-
longs to the last man vSho converted
him. In religion he belongs first to
that sect, then to that. Having no
convictions, he has no fixed princi-
pies, hence he never obeys the gos-

pei; but at every revival he is ready
to "join church." Now, we would
mildly ask. what is such a man
worth to a community? In politics
he is a piece of soft mortar, ready to
be nodded by every expert who gets
hold of him. He never votes, but
other men vote him! He is an imbe-
cile. And of what advantage to
church would fifty such members be-?
Having no faith, they have no prin-
ciples, and having no principles, they
have no influence. And the higher
the aims of the body or community
with which they are identified, the
worse the compromise of its princi-
Piles. True, every man should hold
himself for conviction, and when
convinced that he is in error, then
change. And in all human affairs,
because of the imperfections of hui
man laws, and of the corruptions Of
the men who administer such laws,
it may be necessary for men to change
frequently. And though we have in
divine things perfect law, yet, be-
cause of thenumerous and conflicting
doctrines of men, it sometimes be-
comes necessary for men to change
their religious faith and fellowship.
This every honest-hearted, broad
minded man will do when convinced
that he is wrong.

Look Him in the Eye.

Look your minister in the eye
when he Is preaching. He is talking
to you, and has a rightto your strict
attention. His discourse has relation
to your deepest welfare, and should
arouse your deepest interest. Before
you allow yourself to grumble at
"the dizziness of the Sermon" consid-
err if the dizziness is not in your brain.
When inclined to complain of the
preachers monotony, see if the real
monotony is not in the organ, the
pulpit furniture, the wall decorations
all of which you have gazed at
with a restless vision to the neglect
of the preachers face, which is really
aglow with enthusiasm and aptly
expressive of the sentiments his lips
are uttering. Further, remember
that the minister is delivering a mes
sage from your Lord and Master.
You are bound, by every holy obliga-
ton, to receive the message with rev.
erent regard, and to give the minis
ter respectful hearing. Lastly, dc
not turn around in your seat and
cape and gaze at every one that en-
tiers, people will think that you were
brought up out in the back woods.

Log Cabin Success.
What ails the young men?

what ailS the young men?
Robert CARROTS father left him a
fortune oftwenty millions. He was
from childhood reared in luxury; he
received splendid education with
an especial training into thorough
knowledge of railroad management
and was expected to succeed his faith
er as a railroad king.
Within three years after the respon-
sibilities which his fathers death
threw upon him were assumed, he is
reported a broken down man, with
mind and health permanently shat
tered.
George Law is another young man
left with millions of money, who is
reported among the wrecks" His
father, bred a stone mason, was of
gigantic size and strength, with COM
mensurate brain power, ohe became
great contractor, then a railroad
king and left half a dozen millions
for his son to dissipate. The young
man is a success as a dissipator.
The founders of both of these es-
tates were born in the most humble
walks oflife, grew strong, mentally
and physically, by simple living and
honest labor and developed into
financial giants. Their sons were
reared in the lap of luxury and de-
veloped into intellectual pigmies.

Ingersoll on Life.

DOu luSSIoOll, III tuO NCW 1Olh
Mirror, says of "Life:" Born of love
and hope, of ecstacy and pain, of
agony and fear, of tears and joy
lowered with the wealth of two
united hearts-held in happy arms,
with lips upon life's drifted front,
blue veined and fair where perfect
peace finds perfect form-rocked by
willing feet and wooed to shadowy
shores of sleep by siren mother sing

wonders wide and startled eyes at
common things of life and day
taught by want and wish and contact
with the things of life and day
lured by light and flame and charmed
color's wondrous Understanding the
use of hands and feet, and by the
love of mimicry beguiled to utter
speech-releasing prisoned thoughts
from Grabbed and curious marks on
soiled and tattered leaves-puzzling
the brain with crooked numbers and
their changing, tangled worth-and
so through years of alternating day
and night, until the captive grows
familiar with the chains and walls
and limitations of life.
And time runs on in sun and
shade, until the one of the world is
Wooed and won, and all the lore of
love is taught and learned again.
Again home is built with the fair
chamber wherein faint dreams, like
cool and shadowy valves, divide the
beloved hours of love. Again the
miracle of birth-the pain and joy,
the kiss of welcome and the cradle
song, drowning the drowsy prattle of
baby. And then the sense of
obligation and of wrong-pity for
those who toll and weep-tears for the
imprisoned, despised-love for the
generous dead, and in the heart the
rapture of a high resolve.
And the ambition with its lusts of
pelf and place and power, longing to
put upon its breast distinctions
worthless badge. Then keenel
thoughts of men, and eyes that see
behind the smiling mask of craft
tiattered no more by the obsequious
cringe of gain and greed-knowing
the uselessness of boarded gold and
honor brought from those who charge
the usury of selfrespect-of power
that only bends a towards knees and
forces from the lies of fear the lies O.

studied gesture of esteem, thu
reverent eyes made rich with hones
thought, and holding high above al
other things-high as hopes grea

Then locks of gray and growing
love of other days and half

 There are other considerations which might engage the activities of the Ty- pothet;c in the line of economy, without affecting the wages of their employees. The various concerns pay Tn the aggre- gate all enormous amount of money for rent. stean-poWer and other service. Their combined wealth and influence could secure them accommodations of theiI own that would increase their ia cilties and their income They could form a sort of trust or pool Such q solid organization would place them in position to defy the competitor of small concerns, and indeed, prevent their exist ence save where superior product might enable them to live; and even then they could add the new conner to their own force by proper action,

They may consider the organized workmen as their enemies and endeayor to squeeze more profit out of them by cutting wages, i'm posing harder conditions, and generally antagoniZing them.
