A LONG STRUGGLE AHEAD.
Belgian Coal Miners and Their Employees
for q Strike.

BRUSSELS, Dec. A.-The coal mining
companies throughout the coal districts, after
fully discussing the matter from its various
standpoints. today came to the decision that on
and after December 80 there must be general
reduction of the wages Of their employees.
Thisstep has been contemplated for some time
past and preparations have been made, both by
the companies and the workmen, in regard to
the possible outcome Of the policy now deter
mined upon.
The coal companies having made the first
move in this new struggle between capital and
labor it is considered certain that the Miners
Federation will almost immediately re-
new the agitation OF the past. As
commencement the federation has replied
to the action of the coal companies by issuing
proclamation to the effect that q general
strike will be ordered unless parliament SO re-
vises the constitution as to give the miners
protection against arbitrary action upon the
part of the companies.

New YORK Dec. 24.-The stock market this

The Preacher Noah.
G. II. WETH ERBE

The people to whom Noah preach
ed, were a generation of calloused
sceptics. They had been unbelievers
so long that they had badly ripened
and gone to seed. Hence, we may
believe that they made high sport Of
Noah's preaching, and loudly laugh
ED at the idea that there would be a
flood. They probably said that he
was INDUCING in a wild freak of his
imagination. Very likely they told
him that he was riding a very lean
hobby. People nowadays, would
call him a "crank." All manner of
sharp fun and roistering ridicule were
made against the righteous preacher.
Some Of the people might have
looked upon the matter rather serious
ly, and said that there might be a
good deal Of truth in what the old
preacher was telling them. They
certainly had no reason to doubt his
sincerity, for he acted in perfect har-
mony with what he professed to be-
lieve. There was a perfect cOnsisten'
cy between what he said was going
to happen, and his preparation for it
If, after he had said that a flood was
coming, he had not made any effor'
to get ready for it, then everybody
would have had the best reasons fol
saying that he was not at all consis'
tent with his profession and procla'
nation. They could have Justly
charged him with saying one thinl
and doing another. But he did no
act in that manner. He said that
flood was coming, for God had tolC
him so and he believed itjust becaus
God told him that it was coming, ant
then in harmony with such a faith
he went to work, and built an ark &C
cording to Gods plan. 1t was thu
that Noah showed his consistency
and proved his sincerity, and honor
ed his God. He acted as though h
were burdened with a mighty con
viction, and felt the weight of a tire
mendous responsibility. And surel
he acted wisely and we'll. So shout
preachers of the present day act. ]
they really believe what God say
they should so preach as that thei
hearers will not fail to see that the.
acts correspond with their professe
belief.

Swear Not At All.
Mission Dayspring

Mission Dayspring.
1t is said that in Japan one seldom
or never hears curses or oaths, or any
thing like that form of profanity.
A missionary who tries to explain
the teachings of the Scriptures against
cursing and swearing has sometimes
found it hard to make the natives
understand just what he means.
The Japanese are not in the habit
Of committing this sin, and the ques-
ton they naturally ask is, "Why
should any n want to be thus pro-
fame ?" Sure enough! What is the
use of it? The person who swears
gets no good from it. The man al
whom he swears is not hurt by it,
To say the least, it is absolutely use
less. Alas! that any one in a Chris
tian land should be guilty of the sin

1 CAN BEGIN EACH DAY ANEW.
BY LUcIEN wAGGENER, JR.
EDITED BY REV. F. L. LEEpER.

Each night | lay me down to rest
And dare the vanished hours survey,
Their sins Of thought and word and deed,
mourn another wasted day,
OF good intentions come to naught.
Strong purpose to half.action turned,
Weak yielding to the ancient sin,
While yet my heart with sorrow burned
How may my soul to sleep be Gained
With all the ~fruitless day in viewH
This single thought suStalns my hope,
81 can begin each day anew"
Ipray for faith and grace and strength,
Ny soul forgets its crnel pain
And ready for the daily strife,
Upon the morn, I rise again,
What though before me lies a day,
As all the other days now past,
OF struggles, trials, doubts and gloom,
And often failure at the last.
I issue forth to meet my foes,
Strong in the faith, | may subdue.
Behind me lie my old defeats,
81 can begin each day anew"
And so from day to day 1 strive
With all the sins that would my life,
In tears and sorrow, oft despair,
And vet the better for the strife
That teaches me, who would be proud,
How | am weak and vile and mean
And could not struggle for an hour,
Unless on Jesus arm l lean.
Who comforts me with words of love,
While I my weary way pursue,
Sustained each night by this sweet though
81 can begin each day anew"

The Indian And The Worm.

Waterman.
Some one asked an Indian how he
was saved. The Indian took some
dry leaves, made a little circle Of
them, put a worm in the middle, and
then set the leaves on fire. The
worm went this way and that way,
now towards the fire, now back
again. At last he went right into
the middle and curled himself up to
die, as though giving up all hope of
saving himself. Then the Indian
put his hand in and took him out.
That, he said, was how the Lord Je-
suS came and took him out of the
