BISHOP MOORHOUSE on CLERE
C4L AEEENT4TION.


The Bishop Of Manchester at his pri-
mary visitation, recently held at the
cathedral of HI see city thus speaks Of
what he styles clerical affectation
Pardon me, my reverend brethren,
if say a word here upon the qualities
which will commend Us, of the clerical
order, to the confidence OF working
men. Let US all try TO be real men,
simple in word and manner, single in
purpose, earnest in effort. without too
much care for the forms and claims Of
our profession. There may, know, be
a good and even a strong Leart
at the centre of any number Of
bristling outworks Of clerical af-
fectation. And il 50 be, then the
fact will sooner on later reveal itself.
Not the less, however, for that, are all
such ALLEGATIONS fOrbidding. especially
to workingmen. believe that if we
could all get rid of the suffocating airs
Of professional dignity, and just 30
about our work as men. saying what
we think. acting as we feel, and re-
strained by nothing but the gen
tleman's respect for the feelings
of others, and the Christian 5
loving desire TO make ell men
better and happier, there would
be no men in the world who could
have as much influence as the clergy.
They are friends of the poor and weak
by the very necessities Of their position
and they are devoted to the divine Of
fees of compassion and charity by the
very vow Of their order, aud If they
fawn on the rich or neglect tie iowly'
they Justly incur the terrible reproach
Of disloyalty to their great master. We
have only, in a word, TO give as Christ
ian men, and act rs Christian ministers,
to win a place in the confidence and ac-
ton of the working people second to
none.n

4 PERILOUS DELUSION.

A delusion which rocks thousands in
TO a per:lous slumber is that they will
yet have abundant chances to secure
heaven. 81 need De in no hurry. time
enough yet" This is the will-o,the-
whisp which is leading multitudes on
farther and deeper into the morass Of
impenitence.
Not only i'm this world Will there be
chances for repentance and securing
heaven, but even beyond the grave
God 3 mercy viii give them another
opportunity. This delusion is ia the
air toa degree never known before.
Ministers and writer's of the Dorner
school help to extend it, and the pro-
crastinaiing heart of man eagerly
snatches at the spiders web. IL is
plausible idea. and as long as it lulis
conscience and gratifes the natural
heart, so long it will be popular.
God S Word, indeed. gives not even q
HINT OF a second probation TO those who
have rejected the Savior in this life.
Our loving Lord himself was the
very one who has most repeatedly and
solemnly preached the doctrine of end
less rctrbution and the hopolcssuess Of
repentance beyond the grave. 1t was
from Ills merciful. loving lips that there
fell such tremendous utterances as ~
great gulf fired, and these shall 20
away into everlasting punishment
and "the worm dieth not and the flame
is not queuched. The whole trend of
the New Testament is overwhelmingly
ia this same direction. The mighty bell
which God rings over our heads sounds
outonly the single note: "Now is the day
OF salvation but against God S impeI-
alive "Now thousands close their ears
and allow the devil to whisper into
them his deiusive tomorrow.
The very people who would scorn the
name of ''nhdel" are those who will
eagerly listen TO a demsion which has
not a shadow of warrant in the Scrip
lures. Well might Dr. Finney say that
the Bible fares badly in human hands.
for Christians throw away too many of
its promises and sinners throw away
an its threatenings and but little is left
OF it.-Dr. T. I Cuylcr.

Cellulose Armor for Ships.

Cellulose armor for ships is one of the
most interesting inventions of the day.
1t is a fibrous substance produced in
France by a secret mechanical process
from cocoanut husk. When COM
pressed it's specific gravity is far less
than that of cork. 1t. is the lightest
solid known, and therefore Invaluable
for life belts and life mattresses, while
in large quantities it's buoyancy will
make a ship unsuitable. 1t is used to
fill compartments in ships side and
serves to prevent water entering the
ship through a hole made by pro-
jectile or rock, because the instant the
water enters the cellulose IS expanded
by it to an impenetrable thickness. 1t
does not decay or emit any odor, and
has been packed in ships compart-
ments without undergoing any change.
If a mass of cellulose be penetrated by
a projectile it will not be ignited by
the friction. If the neck of a bottle
full of water be filed with cellulose it
will effectually cork the bottle It is
coming largely into use in the French
navy.--London Court journal.

QUEER BIRD NESTS,
Strange Places Sometimes Selected by
Winged Builders.

Strange Places Sometimes Selected by
Winged Builders.
Birds have some queer fancies in Sc
lecting spots for building their nests.
Some time ago, near Seaville, n. j., I
noticed in a grove of oaks that nearly
every tree had an old tin can nailed up
in it. found on examination that the
cans were all occupied by wrens and
blue birds. But what attracted my at
tention most was an old boot fastened
in one of the trees. AS approached
it blue-bird flew out, and although it
was twenty-five feet from the ground,
/ climbed up and saw inside five young
birds comfortably sitting in the nest
l once found veritable tower-nest,
built by a pair of robins. They had
built nest in a cedar tree, and it had
been found unsuitable for some rea-
sons that they alone knew. Immedi-
ately afterwards they built a second
one on top of it, and still being unsat-
isied they built third one. But they
were very hard to please, for still
the fourth before they were contented
to begin housekeeping. Not Ions after
that four little heads were peeping
over the edge of their lofty home.
An old gentleman once told me that
his wife, on a certain wash-day, missed
lace cap that she had hung out on
the line and fastened with clothes
pin. Several days afterward, when
walking in his garden, he noticed
something white fluttering in the
branches of cherry tree, and an ex-
animation showed that a pair of robins
had taken the cap from the line and
fastened it among the twigs and grass
OF their nest. The birds had undoubt-
edly pulled the cap from between the
prongs of the clothes-pin, for they could
not otherwise have obtained it. They
were left in undisturbed possession of
their prize.
A pair of sparrows in Central Park,
New York, have regularly for several
years built their nest and reared their
young ones in the right hand of Daniel
Webster's statue. But stranger place
than that has been used by pair in
Charing Cross, London, for six years
past. These brave little fellows have
made their home right in the mouth of
a lion-but the lion is made Of stone.
In St. Thomas, Ont, several nests of
wrens were found inside street gas
lamps. where during the night a bright
light was always burning, but they
seemed in nowise disturbed bv it

THE ADHESION OF STATES.

The Eiftieth congress will be noted for
passing bills for the admission of more new
states at once than any of its predecessors.
The Twenty eighth, towards the close of its
session, in 1915, admitted three; that is, it
annexed Texas, and passed bills for the adj
mission of Iowa and Florida, though Iowa
was nearly two years in getting completely
in. This was the nearest approach to the
present rush Of new states into the Union.
The first state admitted after the close of
the War of independence was Vermont, in
1871, made out of the Territory of New
Hampshire Vermont was followed by
Kentucky in 1892. Kentucky was formed
out of the territory of Virginia. Follow
ing Kentucky came Tennessee, in 1879, cut
out of territory originally belonging to
North Carolina. Ohio came next in 1902
being formed out of part of what was called
the Northwest territory, a tract of country
living northwest of the Ohio river, and
coded to the United States by the general
assembly Of Virginia at the sessions in
1873, and accepted by the United States
the year following. 1t may not be uninter-
esting, in passing, to observe that the ordi-
nance for the government of this territory
northwest of the Ohio has formed the
model for all territorial governments since
that time Louisiana followed Ohio, in
| 1912. This state was the first formed out
of the territory ceded to the United States
| by France under the first Napoleon, in
| April, 1893 Three other states were after
wards formed from this territory-Mis-
souri,, Arkansas and Minnesota.
From then the question of slavery be-
gan to influence the admission of states,
and for some time they were admitted by
pairs, the rule being to balance slave
state against free one. Thus, Indiana
and Mississippi were admitted in 1916 and
1917; followed by Illinois and Ala bama, in
1918 and 1919; Maine and Missouri, 1920
and 1921; Arkansas and Michigan, 1886 and
| 1897; Florida and Iowa, 1915 and 1916. After
| that date no more slave states were ad-
mitted. California was the next, admitted
| in 1850; Minnesota in 1858, Oregon in 1859
and Kansas in the midst of the most bitter
| local strife and bloodshed, in 1861. Amid
| the clash of the resounding arms during the
civil war, West Virginia was snatched
from Old Virginia under circumstances
only possible under the stress of the civil
conflict. West Virginia, in fact, owes our
separate existence to the war, and was
admitted in 1853 q Nevada, our neighbor,
and the weakest member of the sisterhood
of states, was admitted in 1864; then came
Nebraska in 1867; nine years later Colorado
was received into the Union, which was
the last addition until the passage of the
omnibus bill.

THE SUPREME court has fixed the COM
pensation of the receiver and his attorneys
in the matter of the church property. The
justices do not entertain the opinion as to
the value of the receivers and attorneys
services which Mr.. DYER and his lawyers
entertain. The judges allow the receiver
10000, instead of the 5000 which he
asked; Mr.. WILLIAMS $500, instead of &c.
900 which he wanted, and Mr. PETERS
$4,000 instead of $4,000 which he thought
he had earned. We imagine the public
will say the supreme court is nearer cor
rect in its estimate of the value of services,
than the gentlemen named, and we do not
apprehend that the receiver or his lawyers
will regard themselves as badly paid.

far indeed to rs but not to the youth which
will not recognize impossibilities when the

and hugs to its heart the ideal. And the
great handspring to action is this ideal.
No man is really bad in whose heart still
fingers the remembrance Of the IDEAL of his
youth; and those whom men crown with
the need of praise for good to man, and
does also smile are they that
have preserved, through contact with
world that reioices to scof, with IN
daunted courage the ideals that were with
them when life first began, leaf by leaf, the
full blossom of its possibilities for good.
Since the wholly bad, if there really be
any such, and the thoroughly desperate are

mental fables-if they must be SO called

! And in the years to come, when men are
| to men what they should be, we will find a
race in whose heart the ideals of youth are
of perennial freshness. Like springs that
cannot contain their own wealth of waters,
they will laugh away, leaving life and
green and flowers where'er they pass, until
the whole earth shall bless the ideal, at
which the men of our own day so vainly
mock.
Our ideals are our hopes-our hopes for
all that is best and truest. They may be
! impossible, but your Sons and daughters
are the better for them. Give them high
ideals, and they will repay you with noble

and unchanged in the heart, so will the
conduct of the life be.
