Provoking War.

The Berlin Post says: The increase
of Frances military force brings us
nearer to war. This increase is being
made at rate with which the peace
powers are scarcely able to keep pace.
The same remark may be applied to
Russia, the increase of whose military
strength cannot be explained as de-
fensive measure.
Such is the universal and inevitable
result Of an increase Of armaments.
Each act of increase brings the nation
"nearer to war;" To reduce arma-
ments simultaneously, mutually, even
ly and systematically brings them
nearer to protracted peace. A man
fires his nerves with alcohol when he
proposes crime. Burglars buy new
implements when about to steal. In
crease an army or navy and the
United States is disposed to fight.
Such a course excites new foreign fears
and jealousies and provol1es attack.
Any country that prepares to fight is
more willing to fight on that account.
She grows arrogant, belligerent and
provocative.
In the name of Peace we protest
against great armies, forts and iron
clads. England is about to add eight
of the latter to her enormous navy.

INDEFINITENEss.- is great
lack of definiteness in the religious
life of Christian people. Once the
grace of assurance was sought so ear
nestly that none were satisfied unless
they possessed it, but now 80 many are
content with mere Church-member-
ship and the perfunctory performance
of religious duties. AS consequence,
there is little enthusiasm, and antag.
onism of sin has gradually lessened
until it's tolerance is manifest, and it is
difficult in some places to hold our
own, much less to advance boldly into
the regions beyond. Worldliness will
soon so interfere with our experience
that the fact of personal salvation will
cease to be a certainty, and there will
remain only memory of former days.
Indulgence in sinful tempers and
tastes soon brings Oh such condemna-
ton that all the joy of salvation goes
out of the life, and we assume the bur-
dens again which Christ offered to
bear for US. And the absence of def
mite testimony leads many of the
younger members to doubt such an ex
perience of assurance, and to be con
tent without growth in grace. .

Emotional Impulsi0n.

In an article published by Frances
Power Cobbe recently in the Fort
nightly RevicaO, that writer maintains
that emotions come to persons "by a
sort of contagion far oltener than they
spring up of themselves in the human
breast. Any attempt to communicate
our emotions by command, however,
tends rather to produce the opposite
feelings. In order to educate the emo
tions of others, we must employ this
natural agency, contagion. In order
to inspire person with given feel
ing, we must exhibit the feeling in
ourselves. Parents, duly impressed
with the Importance of the subject.
would carefully suppress, or at least
conceal, such Of their own emotions as
they would regret to see caught up by
their children. A teacher who has
the respect and esteem of his pupils
will affect their emotions for evil or
good according as he betrays enthusi-
asm or aversion for selfish and SAIL
culinary conquerors, according as he
justifies or condemns assassins and an
archists, according as he represents
science as seeking triumphs or truths,
and according as he treats efforts for
the elevation of mankind with leVity
or respect. The companions of the
young have Il great influence OIL the
development of their emotions. AS
regards girls, their doubly emotional
natures make it matter of moral life
and death that their companions
should be pure and honorable-minded
Too little precaution is taken, especial
ly in American public schools, against
the herding of innocent children with
others who have been familiar with
vice"

dren were gathered about him.
ave have been without food fol-
days." said the woman, "when he re.
turned" "It is not my husbands
fault. He is hard-working, sober
man. But he could neither get work,
nor pay for that which he had done.
To-day he went for the last time to col
lect debt due him by rich family,
but the gentleman was not at home.
My husband was weak from fasting,
and seeing us starving drove him mad.
So it ended that way" turning to the
fainting, motionless figure on the bed.
The banker, having fed and warmed
the family, hurried home, opened his
desk, and took out file of little bills.
All his large debts were promptly met,
but he was apt to be careless about the
accounts of milk, bread, etc., because
they were so petty.
He found there bill of Michael
Goodlow's for repairing children's
shoes, $40. Michael Goodlow was the
suicide. 1t was the bankers unpaid
debt which had brought these people
to the verge of the grave, and driven
this man to desperation, while, at the
very time, the banker had given away
thousands in charity.
The cobbler recovered, and will nev-
er want & friend while tho banker
lives, nor will small unpaid bill ever
again be found on the bankers table.
No man has right to be generous
until his debts are paid and the most
efficient use of money is not alone in
alms-giving, but to pay literally and
promptly the people whom we EN-.
ploy.

That Look.
BY S. H. T.

At Shiloh Camp Meeting there were
several of us in the group, among the
number my pastor, when I began to
criticise the manner and the words
that one of our ministers had used in
the pulpit during the service before.
In my mistaken zeal had measured
my brother by the divine standard of
the Christ that knew, and because 1
was disappointed in the comparison I
had dared to censure one who had
come in my Masters name; and, with
that earnestness, tinged with anger, I
was willing to point out my brothers
defects to my hearers who probably
hadn't seen them before! My pastor
mildly expostulated at first; but see
ing that I was determined upon eX-
pressing my disapprobation, he gave
me a look that I will never forget !!
Rebuke, sorrow, love, pity, disappoint-
ment and grief were all blended there! !!
AS our earthly teachers use illustrat-
ed primers to teach their scholars to
spell and read more readily, so Christ,
the divine Teacher, has always illus
trated my Scripture lessons with hu-
man, liui1ag pictures; and thus,
through this sweet, tender way of his,
I better understand how much his in
carnation means to the world /!
Through this one, who had come "in
Christ's stead" to me, felt that every
look in the Bible was turned upon my
soul. I had often read about them,
heard them preached of from the pull
pit, but never before did their mean
ing so flood me with delight! With
this mental Kaleidoscope I saw how
magnetic the cord of love is that Vi
brates between the world and the great
throbbing heart of its Redeemer. as he
tenderly says: "Look unto me, and be
ye saved, all the ends of the earth !"
and how "our fears looked unto him
and were lightened." see now how
there could be life given to the smit-
ten Israelites in the wilderness for
look at the brazen serpent, and how
Peters heart was broken under the
sorrowful, loving look of his suffering
Master as "he went out and wept bit
terly." Oh, the looks of the Bible !
how powerfully they will always
beam on me, all because I had been
blessed with "a faithful priest ~ God
bless him! He is loyal "watchman
on the tower" and, while I make no
defense of myself, I feel in my soul
that can say: "lf there were more
like him, there would be fewer like
me.-NctO Orleans Christian advocate.

''TOo Muchee by and BY"

"What is your complaint against
this young man, John ?' said the
magistrate to the Chinese laundryman,
who had summoned young gentle
whose laundry bill was in arrears.
"He too muchee by and by" was
the answer of the aggrieved Celestial,
who evidently knew what allied the
young man, even if he could not ex.
press his views in the most classical
English.
There are other youngsters who are
troubled with the same complaint,
''too muchee by and by" The boy
who has to be called four times in the
morning, and then is late to breakfast
the boy who says "In minute" when
his mother calls him to do chores or
run errands; the young gentleman
who forgets his promise to bring wood
or draw water; the young lady who
always "meant to" do things and have
them in order, but who never, never
carried out her intentions the legions
of folks who always have to be waited
for-all these have "too muchee by
and BY"
People are likely to sing themselves
into perdition with "the sweet by and
Bly," What they need is the sweet
now, which is the accepted time and
the day of salvation.

A Returned Cannon Ball.

June II, 1775, British man-of-war,
lying in the Mystic River, threw a
cannon-ball at the little American
army intrenched on Bunker Hill
The ship threw more than one ball,
but this particular one was picked up
after the fight and saved. In 1883, at
the 25Oth anniversary of the Boston
Ancient Artillery Company, this ver-
liable ball was returned to a party OF
British artillerymen who had come
over to help celebrate the occasion.
The presentation was made at the din
ner by Colonel Walker. II bold in
my hand" said Colonel Walker, "a
cannon-ball thrown by British man
of-war at the patriot army OIL Bunker
Hill, June II, 1775. Through the
kindness of Mr.. Hassam, who gives ii
to this company to present to you, ]
give it to you to carry home as a me-
mento (handing the cannon-ball tc
1/ullitl3 lISdlGN
and applause.) 1t was thrown at us
in war. We give it to you in peace as
a token of the amity which lives to,
day between our great nations, and
which we all pray may live forever"
"Thcre is time for wonderful changes
in hundred years." says the New
Haven Pallaeliun,, in commenting on
the above. ut would have given the
grizzled old fighters of the British
war-ship queer feeling if they could
have known, when they touched her
off, and sent that ball screeching at
the Yankee breastworks on that June
day. LIS, that Il hundred years later
the ball would be handed back over q
friendly dinner-table as q token OF

A STUDY OF "STAR ROUTES. ALI
the routes wherein the mails are not
carried by either railroads or steam
boats are known as star routes because
they are marked in the official records
with Il star. A study of star routes
could be made with profit. There is q
star route in Idaho wherein q dog Is
made to serve as a mail carrier. A
portion of the route over the noun
tains is impossible in winter, and the
contractors st. Bernard dog has been
trained to make the trip at such times.
The distance is little more than ten
miles, and 1t has to be traversed once
every second day, and doggy is always
on time. Down in Texas there is q
star route ninety-five miles long across
the plains, on which there is daily SER
vice, although but two small settle
'ments are served. The route extends
from Poisedio to Alameto and Fort
Davis.
