To resist the temptations Of wealth,
and the excavations and demoralizations
that we know flow from vast fortunes, re-
quires Gods grace and strong deter
mined will.-Bev. DR.. Leonard.
! When you hear man pray as though
he knew God and was talking to him and
| expected to be heard ard answered by
Him, You remark it; you remark it be
cause it is remarkable. You like to have
such an one pray in your behalf, You
think it will avail something. REV. DIR.
G. II. Parkhurst.
1t is deplorable, indeed, and a sad com
mentary or the boosted civilization of
the age, that the moral atmosphere of to-
Gay should be so corrupt. IT'S the pen
atty OF the world having strayed away
from Gods church. The world of to-day
cannot be pure without Gods saoraments.
Bishop Ireland.
But after all, labor is wise and kind
ordination of God for training our souls
for the higher life. We're it not for mans
stomach there would be no civilization,
for without the necessity for bodily food
there would be no work performed, and,
consequently no improvement in the con
dition of things Bishop Z. j. Andrews
Those men and women who devote
themselves to the service of the Lord and
live in meek humility soon give evidence
of their acts by outward signs none can
mistake. So TO me in the service of sin
the signs Of the devoted cannot be mis-
taken. As years go on the signs increase
until at the end of life the righteous man
bears upon his body the signs of right
eous life well speut.-Bishop Paret.
1t is good thing to get away from
everyone, even for brief time and look
yourself square in the eye and ask your
self all you want TO know about yourself.
In this way you may get acquainted, for
the chances are that being cornered, You
won't undertake to deceive yourself. You
will probably find al irst that your &C
quaintence with some CT your friends and
their shortcomings and hesetting sins is
much more intimate tAan with yourself.
--Burdette.
I cry shame upon the young men that
strip from their shoulders the irksome
burden of duty, and bid good bye to their
religion with grimmace of weariness or
contempt, They profess to respect the
obligation of birth when it regards the
place of nativity as ertailing upon them
civic responsibilities. And yet the claims
of lineage, the honorable pride of descent
that stamps the gentleman all the world
over they ignore, they turn their backs
upon, they stigmatize as beneath atten
tion.--Rabbi Harrison.
Across the seas stand edihces of such
lezuriOus magnihcence that they seem
rather TO be opg TO another world Nan
onrs. Strauuch , and stroUghly they stand,
seemingly as eternal as the stone of which
they are built. One of these stands in
misnamed Eternal City" whose glory is
now departed, and the lesson taught is
that these edifces, too, must pass and
crumble into dust. Even this solid globe,
whirling through space, viii in time be
Obliterated. From this how clearly are
we shown that We must not put our trust
in temporal structures, but receive for
ourselves home eyerlastingly.-P
dent Doonan,of Georgetown.
All the vanity, adornment and luxury
of the world fails to satisfy the nameless
longing in the breast of man. Man has
never been contentsd and never will be.
The most powerful nations in the world
in their palmiest days have never been
able to furnish contentment TO the people.
A wealth fails TO bring happiness, so
does search after knowledge; for desire
increases by what it feeds upon. The
same is true eboat reputation and fame.
L a man is known throughout the city he
desires 20 become known throughout the
State, if he has a State reputation he
wants a national reputation, and the pos
session of q national reputation is always
followed by desire for European repu-
tatioU. If it were possible man would
like TO have his fame communicated by
telegraph 20 the planets. The disatis
faction and restless mess Of mans nature
can only be satisfied within the limits Of
eteruiny. Human sorrow and human dis
content can only be overcome by beliey
ing in Christ, and accepting Him as q
type of the possibility of mans nature
The greatest victories and the best hap
hines in life come by feith.-Bisbup

Some tobacco theories, as strong as the
raaksst pipes of the oldest smokers are
exploded by the Medical Record, which
contends that the real facts as TO the in
duence OF tobacco on the health are fairly
well established, and the occasional out
burst of auti-tObaeco fauaticism does not
affect received medical opinion. Tobacco
Is pernicIOus to growing children. Used
in moderator, the majority of healthy
adults can smoke it without harm. It
does not in these shorten life or produce
, degenerative changes. Nearly one half
of Prof. Humphreys collection Of cen
teDarians were tobacco users. Il is par
ticularly harmless 70 those who live out
doors aud engage in physical work. tits
particularly apt to injure those who live
indoors The worst feature about Its use
is the difficulty some persons have Ia
moderation. This is especially true OF
brain workers, and it is tor this reason
that physicians never advise the acquire
ment Of the tobacco habit. Bat among
