The Dying Boy and the Lost Sheep

"Ah," he answered, "it was that
terrible night-abOut this time last

way we live. When he counted

ing capsized into the dust. When
we follow the sparks of our own
kindling, they lead us into quagmiers
How often we devise a way for our
selves; and God could not have let a
severer punishment on us, than to let
us have our own way. So He sends
His policeman of disappointment or
chastisement to drive us back. We
may rebel bitterly at first, but by-and-
by when we see what we have escap-
ed, we are ready to bless the rod that
smote us in the face. If we ever
reach heaven, we shall sing song of
praise for the disappointments which
so often helped us on by putting us
back, which stripped us to make the
travel safer, and which made us feel
like fools, that we might be taught of
the Holy Spirit. All, brethren, this
is a wonderful school which our Di-
vine Teacher is conducting. He never
spares the rod when His child is in
danger of being spoiled. His probe
goes deep, and His pruning-knife cuts
keen; but when term>time is over,
those WHO are willing to learn from
rod and probe and prulting>knife,
will graduate with highest honors.
Down at the bottom of every I'M
converted heart, lies some form or
other of selfishness, and this keeps
them from Christ. 1t may be self
cOnceit that refuses to be taught Of
God, or a dissatisfaction that refuses
to face its own utter depravity, or a
subtle self-righteousness of Christ as
the only ground of salvation. My
impenitent friend, you will never
move step towards better life, un-
til your self>cOnceit is shattered, and
begin to see yourself as others see
you, and above all, as God sees you,
Never will you cry for pardon as long
as you feel that you do not need
pardon. Never will you flee to
the Cross while the devil holds you
under the delusion that you need no
Saviour. How can / convince you
that your own wisdom is the wis
dom of fool; your own boosted
strength that Of pigmy; and your
righteousness but a rotten rag in the
sight of a holy God? In the mean>
time you are robbing yourself of the
very best and sweetest things that
Christ can give you; you are risking
the eternal remorse of your own
ruin! The rods of kind chastisement
in this world, are to bring you to re-
pentance; but the rod of retribution
in the next world has no hope and
no Saviour under it. They that
know their duty and stubbornly re-
fuse to do it, shall be "beaten with
many stripes" There is such a
thing in the next world as "the
wrath of the Lamb" of God, and you
will feel it if you reject His wondrous
and wooing love in this world.

The Rod in Gods School.
BY REV. THEODORE L. CULVER.

In the school of human life, the di>
vine Teacher not only gives inStruc-
ton, but often applies the rod; and
on none does the rod fall more heavi-
ly, than on those who are too head~
strong or self-conceited to be taught
by God or man. Who of us has not
at some time felt the smart of that
deserved rod? AS we turn over the
leaves of life's record-book, we come
upon those silly, self-willed days,
when presumption mounted the en-
CINE, and prudence never used the
brakes. To one comes up the sad
memory of lost opportunities to gain
certain kinds of knowledge, the want
Of which leaves Notifying gap; to
another the memory of premature
rush into business without proper
training for it-or the choice of COM
panions who were a subtle poison to
the soul-or some other pitiable blum
der that has left its ugly scar.
l might point to more than one deN
jected, care-stricken woman, to whom
signs are her daily cup. Time was
when that face beamed with girl
hoods gladness, and when her maid
en- hand held on the pivot Of a Yes or
No, the destiny of her life. Passion
said EYES," prudence said "No."
Parents and wiser heads warned her,
that she was entrusting her heart to
a man who would break it. All this
proved but wasted breath to one who
had determined to have her own way
and thorny way it has proved to
her. If the pity of friends could
smooth that care>ploughed face, and
light up that dreary home, then she
might be happy queen today. But
pity never mends shattered porce-
lain. Pity comes too late for those
who are "wise in their own conceit,"
for no spot on earth affords such a
poor market for good suggestions as a
Self-cOnceited head. Ifyoung people
will not listen to parents or superiors,
they must learn wisdom from that
hardNhearted old teacher, stern EX-
periences. In the management of
Gods great earthly school, there is
always a rod in store for the fools
back, as well as a crown for those
who seek the wisdom that cometh
from above.

making the mile in 2:l7. Several other
horses beat their previous time the same
day. On Wednesday the yearling, Belle
Bird, from the Palo Alto stable, made the
mile in 2:28lS without skip; then Arion
was sent through and beat the fastest two
year-old record easily in 2:l4Is. After the
performance Of Arion, Hickock, the vet
eran driver, said that il ever the two min
ute mark was reached, Arion would-be
the horse that would do it. Palo Alto,
although coming onto the track lame,
made the mile In 2:l1H, lowering his

made it q quarter less. Such tornado
Of broken records has never been known

The council has declared A. B. Weed
duly elected mayor aud Michael Schorn
councilman. There was some question
regarding the legality Of Mr.. Weed hold
ing Office, not from any loss Of residence
through his trip to Mexico and Calitor-
mia, but because he was not an elector,
having failed to register as prescribed by
law. The constitution states that q citi-
zen must be an elector before he can
hold Office, but Mr.. Weed, by registering
now, can Immediately qualify and enter
upon the duties Of his office. The Ian
guage on this point is very plain, and it
would be difficult to construe Il other
wise. A man may be citizen and legally
elected TO office without being an elector,
but he must comply with the forms laid
down before be is eligible to hold the
Office to which be is called.
