Sentimentalists are mOrbidly tender

difference whose OK is gored. Lord Byron

capital punishment. but his servant having
seen the book stole his masters watch.
While the author was reading the proofs
for the second edition he was doing his best
to get the thief hanged.
Nine enths of the saloon keepers are

are seldom found in court as plaintiffs or

little medicine. If suckers would stop bit

would be better off.

reduced the press until it small enough to
pass through the door. Then procured the
volunteer services of a gang of Charles wall
builders who came with block and tackle and
chain The block and tackle was suspended from
the Orders at the top gallery of the cellroom
Then they made fast to the press and all hands
grabbed hold of the rope and with an "al to-
gether" up she went and was safely landed on the
gallery nearest the Office door. With the assist
ance of many strong hands the press was safely
placed in its quarters in the little to the east

work for the successful performance of which the

it done by any other printer in the city.

Because she will stick to him through

Because without her he would be rude.
rough and ungodly.
Because she teaches him the value of
gentle words, of kindly thought and OF con-
sideratiOn.
Because she can with him, endure pain
quietly and meet joy gladly.
Because. on her breast, he can shed tears
of repentance, and he is never reminded of
them afterwards.
Because when he is behaving like fret

with no reason in the world for it, wOm-

him ashamed of himself as he ought to be.
Because without her as an incentive he
would grow lazy; there would be no good
work done, there would be no noble books
written, there would be no divine strains of
melody.
Because she has made for us a beautiful
world in which we should be proud to live,
and cOntented to die.

The International Prisons Congress, now
in session in ST. Petersburg. has adopted
resolutions declaring:
That in future treaties between nations the
general principle of extradtion should be recog-
nized and an agreement arrived at as to the nat.
ure of the cases to be deemed exceptions to the
rule.
That international associations should be or.
ganized to assist discharged prisoners and their
families.
That the action of charitable bodies, both punt
tive and preventive, should be brought into gen.
eral agreement. and
That inebrity, accompanied by disorderly con-
duct, should be punished that the sellers of aco-
hol should be responsible for crimes resulting
from their serving drunken men, and that the
sale of liquors on credit or to children should be
prohibited.

Sunday Services.

Father Murphy being absent chapel services
were conducted by Rev. Father O'Gorman. of st.
Thomas seminary, Merriam Park. Lack Of space
prevents us from giving more than the following
brief extract of the sermon:
have preached the Gospel of God in great
many cities, in some of the grand cathedrals, and
in the rude structures of our western praires, but
l will say to you that think have on no occasion
made deep impression as on an audience like
this. Some years ago it was my duty and my good
fortune to preach at Sing Sing, New York. and the
emotion and gratitude found there was greater
reward than any praise given me before. 1 have
for you my friends the greatest sympathy, and 1
believe no audience in the wide world is more
open to receive, or will take more rational view
of divine truths than audience like this. There
FORE it is with this conviction that undertake to
address you this morning for few minutes
have chosen as the foundation of my remarks
that beautiful portion of scripture, the fifteenth
chapter of St Luke This chapter teaches us this
great lesson. that cd is merciful to the sinner
II say to you that even so there shall be joy in
heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more
than upon ninety-nine just who need not pen
ance" Oftentmes in life we meet with men who
have given up all hope of Gods mercy; they have
cease to expect it from God. 1t would be simply
useless to go to such men and tell them of the
more terrible things in religion, the horrors of
death and the terrors of hell. These men have
hardened their hearts against such arguments as
these, but if we come to them with the story of
Gods love and power; if we speak to them in NOV
ing accents of His tenderness and love it must be
indeed heart of iron and lost to all hope that will
not respond to the joyful tidings.
No one will assert that men were created to be
lost; you believe rs l do that there is a God who
has created us to love and serve Him and whose
purpose is eternal happiness. Christ's mission
on earth mission of mercy, but if we choose
to dsobey Gods laws the hell that is reserved for
such is eternal Punishment from His presence.
No one need to despair. We have it upon the
divine authority of the Bible that one who had
committed the two great crimes of murder and
adultery received pardon and found grace in Gods
sight. 1t matters little how the world may Judge
us, and we need not for the love and esteem
of the world if we but find favor with God for
after all if God be for who can be against us?
