WHY THE YEAR 1900 IS NOT
LEAP YEAR.

The following explanation will
show You why the year 1900 will
not be counted among leap years !:
The year Is 365 days, ) hours and
46 minutes long; IL minutes are
taken every year to make the
year 3654 long, ana every fourth
yeal we have an extra day. This
was julius Cesar's arrangement,
as explained in "Ntt IS for the
Curious in the Republic Of
August "a. You may ask /;
"WhOrc does the minutes come
from?" They come from the
future, and are PAID by omitting
loap year every ono hundred
years But if leap yoar is omitted
regularly every one hundred
years in the csurs, of four hun
dred years it is found that the IL
minutes taken each year will not
only have paid back, but that a
whole day will have been gwen
up. So Popc Gregory MIL,
who imp: owed on Caesars caien-
der in 1892, decreed that every
centurial year divisible by four
should be Il leap year after all.
So we borrow IL minutes each
year more than paying our bor-
rowlngs back by onnttiug three
leap Yeas in three ccnturial years
aud square matters by having a
leap year IN The fourth centurial
year. Pope Gregory's arrange
mcnt is SO exact and the borrow
ing and paying back balance 50
nicely that We borrow more than
we pay back to the extent OF only
one day IN 3,S99 yeais.

Faith is excellent, so is Hope,
but Love covers all. These are
three strings that are often touch
ed IN Divine Government: Faith,
whereby we believe all of God )
promises to be true. Hope, where
by, we wait for the promises with
patience. Love, whereby, We
testify to the world, what we
believe and what We hope for. He
who has Faith can't distrust; He
who has Hope cant be put from
anchor, He who has Love will
not lead "a licentIous life.
Faith is that grace which makes
Christ ours, and ali Of his bene-
fits. 1t Is given to us by the
Holy Spirit, Faith has two parts
-be4cf and trust. Belief Is ac-
ccping facts ana statements VI
the Bible. Trust is resting is these
facts aud statements. You come
to 4 br dge and you believe 1t will
carry you over, and then you
trust yourself to 1t and so over,
All o these things must be awaken
ed in the sinner by the HolySp lit.
Hope is looking forward to
something in the future, aud has
an element of FAITH in 1t that Is
wherein It Is resting Ike trust.
Hope Is the effect of Faith. Hope
is the sweet friend which keeps a
distressed soul company as he
journeys along job says Il will
hope III thee though thou kllles;
me-" 1t tells the soul of precious
stories of what is IN the future for
1t; though life be stormy, hope
selnes as an anchor of the soul,
both sure and steadfast, and that
which reaches he throne Of God.
Love Is the grace that Paul
puts as the climax. Though
speak with the tongues OF mon
and angels and have not Love |
am nothing says The eloquent
Apostle.
Love is the expression tc the
world Of these others. If you
love Me keep my sayings, and
walk in my commandments
Ii is by love that you may TIL
that yru have the first two.
Faith is the foundation Of the
house, Hope is the walls, ant
Love is the r,of and spires. All
of these should 10 rnited ii the
Cody Ike created trinity; then
the Christian will b. prepared to
have Faith IN God's promises aud
rest calmly in the Hope Of the full
fiIlmcnt Of these promises, and
then Loyc to dlschagc what the
Master has commanded.

KISSES.

A father, talking to his careles,
daughter, said: Il want to speak
to you OF your mother. 1t may
be You have noticed care-worn
look upon her face lately. OF
course 1t has not been brought
there by any act Of yours, still il
is your duty to drive It away. !
want you to ret up tomorrow
morning and get breakfast and
when your mother comes and OK
presses her surprise, 90 right up
and kiss her IN the mouth, You
cannot imagine how it will
brighten her dear face. Besides
you owe her kiss or two. Away
back when you were little girl
she kissed you when no one else
was tempted by your fever tainted
breath and swoolcn face. You
were not as sweet and attractive
then as you are now, And through
the years of childish sunshine
and shadow, she was always ready
to cure by the magic ofamother's
kiss the little dirty, chubbing
hands, whenever they were in
iured in those first skirnlshes
with this rough cold world. And
then the midnight kiss with which
She routed so many bad dreams
leaned over your restless pillow
have all been on interest these
long years. OF course she Is moi
pretty and kissable as yoa are,
but if you had done your share
of the work during the last ten
years, the contrast would not be
SO marked. Her face has more
wrinkles than yours, far more
ard yet If you were sick, thai
face would appear as beautiful a
an angels as 1t hovcred over you
watching every opportunity t
administer TO your comforts, anc
every one of those wrinkles woulC
seem to be bright wayelets o.
sunshine chasing each other owe
the mothers face. She vii
leave you one of these days. Th'
burdens, if not lifted from be
shoulders, will break her down
These rough, hard hands tha
have done many unnecessar.
things for you will be CROSSED
upon her lifeless breast. Thosi
neglected lips that gave you you
first baby kiss, will be closed
and those sad, tired eyes vii
have opened IN ETERNITY, and theI
you will appreciate your mother
but 1t will be too late.
