Ventilation.

A gentleman while attending
Church one evening, found that hit
feet were icy cold, 20 that he had te
raise them Off the floor. Calling ths
attention Of the sexton to the fact, the
latter said with some perplexity, "Yes
we have had q good many complaints
of cold feet from others; but I don't
understand the reason why we can't
keep the church warm-we surely
have fire enough" SO saying he
pointed to q register in the aisle behind
the gentleman In the adjoining pew.
Looking around, the latter could zee
that there was q hot fire In the fur.
mace beneath, and yet no heat came
up. When q handkerchief was laid
over the register, 1t scarcely stirred.
The visitor asked the sexton "Have
you any means Of ventilation ?" mo,

"None whatever" How. then, can
you expect the air to come In here II II
can't get out?" There was no 70.

sir" "Do you think II you did that
you could force any more air In the

He couldn't say. Never had thought
Of 1t. "Well," continued the gentle
man, "you would soon find. II you
tried, that 1t was impossible; and mel
ther can you force air into this church
through . register II you don't open 9
window or some other orifce.'
"But," the sexton demurred, "openine
the window would let in cold all
wouldn't it?" "You just try It," wat
the response. "Raise some Of the win
dows OF the leeward side Of the church
and see what will happen" 1t wa,
done, and instantly the handkerchiei
lying on the register rose half way tc
the ceiling with the force Of the as.
cending current. The sexton stood
and stared with astonishment.
II the air were visible like water, &c
that Its impurities could be detected
by the eye, there are many people
who would "stare In astonishment" al
the filth and foulness they are inhal.
ing at every breath. It Is hard to wor'
ship God acceptably while gagping fol
breath or dying for pure air.

4 Cluster Of Neyers.

Never utter word OF slang.
Never shut the door with bang,
Never say once that "you don't care"
Never exaggerate, never swear,
Never lose your temper, much,
Never q glass OF liquor touch,
Never Wick edly play the spy,
Never, o never, tell o lie!
Never your parents disobey;
Never at night neglect to pray.
Remember these maxims
Through all the day,
And you will be happy
At work or play.

Patience.

When We look back at close Of day,
Whether Il close in sun or rain,
We yet can cay, It Is way
We shall not have TO walk again.
For should We live hundred year,
A life Of praise, Q life OF blame,
A life Of Joy, q life Of tears
We would not sec two day the same.
Out Of the vast, eternal store
New duties and new Joys arise;
Strange clouds Of grief shall gloom us DER,
Fresh bursts Of hope shall clear the skies.
Each dayR gift! And life is made
Only OF days. With gifts between
To. day q burden : Quick ills weighed,
And You shall have q day unseen.
Sweet Patiencei Other angel bands
On urgent errands sueep the skies;
To-day but let me hold thy hands,
And gaze Into thy steadfast eyes!

New York Christian Advocate.

New York Christian Advocate.
Thoughtful Christians have been re-
joicing in the hope that war Is rapidly
going out of favor among civilized ma
tions, and that statesmen will hereaf-
ter find some better way to settle the
difficulties which may arise between
the Great Powers of the earth. Doubt
less the love Of peace is growing, and
the sentiment in favor Of arbitration 10
advancing. The masses OF men IN
America and the nations OF Europe
look with feeling akin to horror on
the military and naval preparations
now being made on all sides, and ear
nestly desire to be spared the sight OF
active hostilities. But there are still
left among US men who believe In the
gospel Of gunpowder. At . meeting
recently held in Birmingham, Eng
Land, LORD WoLsELEY delivered an
address, in which he not only predict
ed that war on an extensive scale
would soon I'LL Europe with its hor-
rors, but declared that war is the
means whereby nations are made, and
that the vast dominion Of Britain has
been built by the sword, and even
went 80 far as to affirm that q system
of oonscription and military discipline
is the best possible physical and intel.
lectual training for young men. That
was q sanguinary speech, far better
suited to the Dark Ages than the clos
ing years Of this enlightened century.
Such men continue to fan the flames
Of the martial spirit, and such senti-
ments breed wars. But for . few lead
ers who now hold sway In these great
modern nations there would bo little
danger, as there Is little need Of war.
But as matters stand, peaceabls and
peace-loving citizens know not what
they may awake and find
that so-called statesmen have involved
them in . bloody conflict with neigh.
bors against whom they have no griev.
ance.

When everybody seems to love you,
It is not hard to persuade yourself that

comes.
