Single is each one born into the
world; single he dies; single he re-
ceives the reward OF his good deeds,
and single the punishment OF his evil
deeds. When he dies his body lies
like fallen tree upon the earth, but
his virtue accompanies his soul.
Wherefore let us harvest and garner
virtue. so that we may have an In
separable companion in traversing
that gloom which is so hard to be
traYersed. -liaaU

Religion is personal matter, and
the less time man gives TO philoso-
phizing and generalizing the sooner
he will come to understand that he
as an individual soul, needs to have
direct communion with God. in order
to get the most and the best out OF
this life, and to look forward with
joyous anticipation to the life which
is to come. Let them, generally. seek
first the kingdom of God; personal
faith secures comfort and content

speculation is unrest. - The Interior.

councils parents TO make Sunday the
happiest day Of the week. And the
chief requisite TO this is that they
give themselves TO their children-at
church as well as at home. The Sun
day-school must not be allowed to
usurp the place Of the church service.
The child nestled in the family pew
at his mothers side, holding his
fathers hand, enters naturally from
the shelter OF warm human love into
the my stery OF divine love, and the
house of God very early becomes TO
him the gate OF heaven.
For little children IL is a pretty
plan TO set aside for Sabbath use the
most attractive toys, the favorite pic
songs and hymns, and to join with
them more than ever in their plays
and their quiet moods, l.atil. whel
they wake Sunday morni' they shall
exclaim, with four-ye;.i old of our
acquaintance. '-0h, I'm so glad it s
Sunday!'
Music is the heritage of the family
Sabbath. Not church hymns and
Suuday-school songs only, but the
music OF the masters as well, those
great compositions, that tell without
words the story OF human life, and
tell it religiously because truly and
profoundly; that speak TO the children
as plainly as to the elders; that open
heart TO heart, and intensity in each
his own living and longing.
Books belong to the family Sabbath.
| Not that thief OF childhood's Sabbath
hours, the Sunday-school library
book, not sickly or precocious story
papers. nor sordid secular papers, MOI
scrappy religious ones. but real
books, and all the real books, poetry
as well as books OF devotion, essays
and biographies, and every othov kind
of book that sets the heart throbbinl
with a wish to be something better
and greater than we ever have beer
before. And often some one viii

Large numbers of young men and
women from America and England are
gathered at Leipsic in order that they
may enjoy the educational advantages
OF the city, The English-speaking
population is over three hundred.
Those who are gathered there are to
return to their own native country,
many OF them to take prominent posi-
lions in our colleges and institutions
OF learning. In the midst Of the chilli
ing atmosphere which they are liable
to feel in the separation from the
churches with which they have been
connected at home, they are liable to
lose their faith. and to become pro-
moters OF unbelief rather than of vital
Christianity.
For this reason it is OF the utmost
Importance that the American church,
which was founded in 1874, and which
has been supported until the present
time mostly through the cooperative
efforts of ministers and theological
students resident in Leipsio, should
be sustained. was delighted to

Its first bold and original departure was
the publication Of its weekly in five
separate edltons-one for Missouri, one
for illinois, one for Texas, one for Arksn-
sas and Kansas, and another for the rest
Of the union. Next, it made the Weekly
Republican semi-weekly, lsoulug it
every Tuesday and Friday, in section OF
six pages each. Then it established a
special tariff department, edited by the
Hon. w. l.. Wilson, one of the ablest of
the Democratic leaders in congress. Now,
it announces that each OF these striking
and original features will continue perma.
