Tine Sure Guide.

He must have two qualifications.
at the least, las everybody understands
who has had occasion to employ one.
Whether you are threading the green
hut tangled glades of a Canadian for
est, crossing the barren and monotO-
nous plains of the great west, or
climbing the successive crests of some
Alpine range, your guide must pos
sess thorough acquaintance with
the route to be followed, or be worth
less for your purposes. But this is
not all. He also must know you, at
any rate to such degree that he will
not make demands on your strength
which you will not be able to meet.
Where there is temporary choice of
paths he must select that easiest for
you. His rate of advance must be
governed by your power of keeping
up. In all possible respects he must
adapt his knowledge Of the way to
your ability to avail yourself of it.
The same holds good in morals and
religion, and it is the reason why
Jesus Christ is our only true and
proper guide. He knows the way be-
fore US, for he has travelled it himself,
and in circumstances tar more trying
than ours. He is abundantly COM
petent to be our leader. He also
knows us. and not in the merely gen.
eral, imperfect sense in which the
best human guide understands the
capacities of his followers. He is our
Creator. He has ordained and be-
slowed upon US all the powers which
we possess, and, therefore. is entirely
aware of what we fairly may and
may not be expected to do. He knows
US not merely as members of the race
but as individuals and this knowl-
edge is not the mere good.natured
interest of simple acquaintanceship,
but the warm cordiality of tender
personal affection.
Yes, he knows the way in which he
means to lead US, and He knows US.
There is, therefore. but one thing
needful to the success of our follow
ing. 1t is that we trust and obey
him neutrality-suspicious..

What's the Matter With the Farmers ?

A Bucks county, Iowa, farmer
writes that the cause of his trouble is
the lack of protection TO farm pro-
ducts that potatoes, cabbages, on.
ions, eggs, wool, etc., are brought
from Europe and other counties as
ballast almost. grown by the pauper
labor of Europe or other countries,
and landed with very little duty, to
enter into competition and to lower
the price of American farm produce,
which is grown by the same high.
priced labor which is paid by the
highly protected American manufac-
turer. This, too, seems to be the
trouble and l have no doubt my
Bucks county friend is right. An.
other Bucks countian says that our
farms are too large. that we ought TO
farm fewer acres and farm them bet
ter. and this will relieve us from our
woes.

we as a nation do not spend too much
for beer, Whiskey and tobacco? L
wonder if the average commission

man who owns million dollars is

if we pull together as we ought? l

legislatures | wonder if we don't

Three Motives in Christian Life.

Motives are what move US to net
We sometimes say the will does the
work, but the will depends upon
motives. We must first be induced
by some real or imagined good before
a voluntary act takes place. The feel
ings are next to the will, and hence
In the absence of knowledge, feeling
sometimes almost governs our ac
ti0ns. We therefore seek after that
which pleasurabIy excites the emo
tions or arunses the heart.
But to know what it is for final
pleasure, for the highest enjoyment
is problem that challenges the most
profound study. Here mere feeling
gives way to intellectual thought.
Philosophy and reason have worked
faithfully at the solution. Many ex.
periments have been Vainly tried ;
change of latitude has failed to bring
happiness ; success in business does
not yield cOntentment to the soul
that is aroused fully to Il sense Of its
possibilities. The desire of content
menL is universal. II is "A worthy
motive tC Christian life, but its real
ization depends upon faith and con
secratiOn, rather than upon reason
and philosophy. The knowledge of
the love of God and the fellowship
of His Son is worth more than place
or success IN business and in this
contentment crowns the Christian
life.
Self-esteem is another strong mo-
tive. By this is not meant vanity,
but a proper conception of the manly
in ones makeup. Just in proper
ton to such conception will he the
type of ones life. | man without a
sense of the manly within him, is
little raised above the brute. 1t is
we'll to stop in the busy whirl of life
and look within, if, by the grace OF
God, the heart has been cleansed.
There is inspiration in the power OF
self.esteem engendered by regenera
tion. When the new birth grows
into conservation, and in the fear OF
God our lives are lifted out of the
petty things of time and sense, self
esteem becomes a grand motive.
Thus every power might be traced
and the touch of the Holy Spirit in
each he seen to quicken and inspire
the sublimest exertion of mans highl
er nature. The Christian life is well
worth living.-MethodiSt Advocate

A Western Methodist paper says

The Stalwart Descendants of Gang OF
Mutinous Sailors.
When the clipper ship L. Schepp
was beating down in the trade winds
in the dreary waste of the South Pacific
ocean, on her way from San Francisco
to Philadelphia, Captain Gates was
much surprised to find, on coming on
deck one morning. boat-load of stall
wart men approaching his vessel. An
island was seen a short distance of the
starboard bow, and on the boat getting
within hailing distance an aged and
decrepit man in the bow shouted: Il
am Thursday October Christian, Gov
ernor of Pitcairn Island"
He said that the population of Pit
cairn consisted of lis men, women and
children. Captain Gates ordered the
yards aback, and in a few minutes
eighteen men were on the ships deck,
all of whom bore evidence of En-
glish ancestry. They were extremely
religious, and held exclusively the
teachings of the Seventh-day Advent
lists, the result of the work of a mis-
sionary who was wrecked there years
Il
to China.
The Governor stated that he was the
grandson of one of the mutineers who.
in 1889, set adrift the officers of the
English war ship Bounty, and then
bore away for the island of taheite,
and had lived for years there before
being discovered. Tney were after
ward arrested and sent to England for
trial. The Governor said that the use
of tobacco and liquors was entirely un-
known among the people of Pitcairn.
and that the little colony were in need
of dress goods, particularly for the
women, as nearly all of the latter were
dressed in mems clothes, secured from
passing vessels A supply of clothing
was given, and an abundance of fruit
and provisions was sent on board the
ship in exchange. -Philadelphia Let

were covered with about sixty-five feet
of snow. No pack-trains could get in

were absolutely out of salt. and the
men were fairly wild for it.
Theodore McMichael, of Philadel-

about he came across eight or ten small
sacks of salt that had fallen behind a
partition in his store The news of the
