Right Rev. Leighton Coleman, ID. d.,

THE secret of the Lord is with them

His covenant" He said in part
''All children manifest the trait of
curiosity in relation to what they do not

same; we desire to know his secrets The
secrets Of God are only for those who
fear Him. Therefore, those of you who
are coming 20 receive confirmation, in
your obedience to Him. will learn these

who think we harp too much on these
outward signs but they we're practiced
by Christ, our Master, and certainly we
ought TO follow him. Many do not
accept the means Of grace offered them.
depending on their own natural gtaces.
Despite the sophistry Of men in the
temptations Of the time there Is still the
Holy Spirit. There are great many
persons who know good things when
they see them but they do not practice
what they know
Father Damien by his attention TO the
lepers Of the Sandwich Islands and de-
yotion to duty gave an illustration of
heroism and sacrifice which throws into
insignifcance the attempt of men TO
amass great wealth or become famous.
He was engaging in a work the reward
of which he would receive in the time TO
come. Brethren become obedient there
fore to the ordinances Of God, SO that at
last when you are ready to quit work he
will reveal himself as he is, the God OF
love who will reward those who obey

The One Cent Postage.

Postmaster General Wanamaker
is not enthusiastic on the question of
one cent postage, though he admits
that it is bound to come IN time.
He estimates that halving of the
present rate for letter postage would
cause a reduction of 100000 in
the postal revenues, and as the cost
of the service for the last fiscal year
exceeded the net revenue by over
$7,000,000, his opinion that q further
cutting down of the revenue would
be unwise at present is seen to be
not without force. Mr.. Wanamaker
declares in his report that a fourth
Assistant Postmaster General is
needed, and also a general manager,
or controller, of the Department, and
he proposes that the country should
be divided into twenty-six postal
districts, each with q supervisor.
Another Suggestion is that postal
savings banks be established at TO-
900 fourth class Offices, in order to
demonstrate the necessity and prac-
ticability of such system.
