them all. Golden chains link them to-
getber. My life Of to-day casts its sun
shine or its shadow on the morrow,
but it fixes no sunshine or shadow on
or the morrow. The sunshine Of to-day
may change to shadow tomorrow.
the shadow of to-day may become sun
shine tomorrow. We may will to-
morrow a change for the better, Of
which to-day gives no promise.
So with this life and the next. They
cannot be cut asunder. They are
bound into one continuous whole.
Death does not stop the onflow of the
SOULS life any more than sleep stops
the onfow of the body's life. Death
merely disrobes us, takes off the fleshly
garments and introduces us into that
house not made with hands eternal in
the heavens" The present period of
life, therefore influences the next. What
we are in this world effects what we
shall be in the next. Our moral power
to-day is so much moral capital with
which to begin the life Of tomorrow.
So the moral power we develop or ac-
quire in this world is so much moral
capital with which to begin life in the
next. All we learn of God in this life
constitutes our permanent, spiritual
riches, and will be ours to use in the
life to come.
But the lack Of this knowledge in
this life will not bar us from learning
in the next. If we go into the other
world morally weak or spiritually dis
abled, we shall not be fixed in that
condition forever. The possibility Of re-
formation will be there as here; we
may recover our lost ground and go on
unto perfection. Our character in this
life effects our character in the next
but it does not fix or determine cur
character in the next. Life is school
and SO the pos csibility of learning must
ever be ours.
From all this it follows that it be-
comes us to be apt scholars. We ought
to be ready, eager to learn. If soon
or late we must learn of God it bebooves
us to learn of him now. If through
disobedience our teaching becomes
painful, # is wise for US to obey. If
what we are i'll this world affects what
we shall oe in the next, then it is of
the FIRST importance that we be right
in this. Our great business in this
world is to lay up treasure for the next.
Our great work here and now is to ac-
eumulate soul capital, lay up spiritual
riches. The richer we are in all good
ness before death, the richer will we be
after - sence Cur dlgty noN,V,isz to- en-
rich our souls, to all them with a
knowledge of God, t learn to hope in
his goodness, to obey IS will and do
good unto our fellow men, and so be-
come rich for the eternal years.

SUDDEN DEATH.

Quaint old Thomas Fuller recorded
this prayer against sudden death 20
Lord, be pleased to shake my cottage
before thou throwest it down. MAY it
totter a while before it shall tumble.
Let me be summoned before ] am sur
prised. Deliver me from sudden death.
Net from sudden death in respect to it
self, for | care not how short NV pas
sage be sc it be safe. Never any weary
traveller complained that lie came too
soon to his journeys end, but let it not
be too sudden in respect to me. Make
me always ready to receive death. Thus
no guest comes uuawares to him who
keeps constant table" The venerable
Prof, Silliman used TO tell his students:
Sudden death is never to be dreaded.
If it be Goa j will let the angel Of death
come in flash; only let him find me at
the post of duty. He cannot come too
quickly" Early last Thank sgiying day
Prof. Silliman, who had nearly recov-
cred from short illness, was rep

there was sudden change in his

THE PROBLEM OF POVERTY.

It is 60 the power Of Christ that we
look for the world 5 reformation. 1t is
to the energetic action Of Christian
philanthropy, the philanthropy which
cares for mems souls as well as their
bodies, that we look for the redemption
of our race from its woes, its Oppres-
si0ns, and its moral evils. Eminent
scholars tell us that the idea Of the
kingdom of God-the idea, that is to
say, Of the universal reign Of righteous
ness and peace upon earth-has no
place III any ancient creation Of lit
erature, in any ancient system of
ethics or philosophy, Or III any ancient
religion outside the religion Of the
Bible. In Christian countries the idea
may be said to be domesticated; it has
become indeed an idaa1, the Ideal to-
ward which good men and women are
incessantly striving, and with the
blessing Of God the ideal will one day
be realized. The power of Christ,
which has wrought such wonders in
the past, ennobling the family life,
building hospitals, freeing the slave,
organizing the care of the pOOr,' is a
wonder working power still, and it will
yet prove mighty enough to compel
earthly rulers to abolish the practice of
war, and to solve in a satisfactory way
the problem of poverty.
Statesmen can do much to facilitate
the solution. 1t is a noble principle Of
the English poor lava principle un-
doubtedly liable to abuse, but noble
nevertheless that every necessitOus
person has a right to food, clothing,
shelter, and medical attendance. Here
in is an embodiment in law of the
Christian doctrine of the brotherhood
of man. 1t solves, in way, the problem
of pauperism, but it does not solve the
problem of poverty; chat is to say, it
does not prevent the perpetuatiOn, in
condition Of hopeless indigence, of
multitudes Of human beings who are
ready and willing to work, but who
cannot get sufficient work or sufficient
wages to enable them even to live
comfortably in the present, much less
to make any provision for old age.
Wise legislation can do much to remedy
this state Of things. The causes of
congestion in the unskilled labor
market, for instance, are doubtless re-
movable. Efforts should be made to
remove them-by reforms of the land
laws, by systematic emigration, or by
other necessary or advisable means.
The fact nevertheless remains, that
when legislation has done all that it
can do, the permanent amelioration Of
the lot of the working classes will
always depend in the main upon their
power Of self-help. To augment this
power by every possible means, is the
highest and wisest form Of phllan-
thrOpy. Let Us go on improving their
education, let us strive by the influence
Of religion TO improve their individual
characters, and endeayor la every way
possible to upllft them info a high
moral plane; and the problem Of pov-
erty, assuming that the STATE has left
nothing uldlue IN the matter which it
ought To do, viii ultimately solve itseii.

ALTHOUGH Christians are all pain
fully aware that there is mucn actual
indifference toward moral truth, more
or less Of honest doubt concerning the
verities of revealed religion, yet it is
encouraging to know that there is
probably less now than at any time be-
fore in the history of the church. The
order is being slowly reversed, and, in
stead of accepting the known, men are
postulating the unknown, and building
upon that as upon a sure foundation.

Up and down the line, and you WIN end
by having all your pupils on their backs,
shouting happy.
So il you ask me what / consider most
essential TO health, vigor and longevity, l
answer a plenty of laughter and a plenty
of shouting. We should check
children lrom a reasonable amount of
noise making, and never get beyond it
ourselves. If possible have some place,
a grove or, if no better, a barn, where
YOU can shout as loudly as you please and
blow out good full draushts of the purest
air. We ought TO get beyond
play. A good game of quoits, or tennis,
has halt its advantage in letting our lungs
have full play. We can laugh as loudly
as we please and shout with the young
folks. Nearly all old age is folly, a use.

The Food Question.

The subject of food has eve yet re-
ceived a common sense consideration.
There is no doubt but a vast amount OF
wholesome food products are yet over
looked. During the grasshopper In
yasion ii was proved by Professor Riley
and some Of our normal school teachers
that such creatures may serve as IN ex-
cellent article Of food, yet the people
preferred semi-staryatsn to even tasting
them. Snails are Injuries in France. 1t
was lCng before frogs found a market in
this country. Mr.. Wallace tells us eggs
are never eaten by Pacific Islanders.
Strawbcrrics are rejected by some Of the
tropical races. Esquimaux reject all
vegetable food. The people of New
Guinea pronounce bread a detestable
affair. Milk is used very little in some
of u southern states, as it is seldom
tasted by tribes in Africa that keep large
herds. One tribe in New Guinea abhors
sugar. but devours salt. Snakes are an
article of diet quite largely in ASIA
