RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.


ANY thing that will keep you from
having communion with God is wicked.

lical scholar, has become Bishopo Wor'
cester, England.
With the wind OF tribulation God
separates, in the floor of the soul. the
chaff from the corn. -Molinos.
By the will of Thomas c. Sloan, OF
New York, Yale gets a bequest OF $75,-
600, the Children's Aid Society $40, 200.
and the Presbyterian hospital and two
other societies $40, 900 each.
Twelve weeks OF five days each Of
only six hours day mean only sixty
days schooling in the year! Is that
enough to train for w-makers-rather
doesn't it give us law-breakers?
DO not go out in search Of cruciax-
ions; but when God permits them to
reach you without your having sought
them, they need never pass without
your deriving profit from them. -Fene-

Christianity is of no benefit to any
man, II 1t does not make him better
citizen, better friend, better hus-
band and father That religion, which
does not transform its possessor, is only
name.
Rev. James Stalker, NJ A., OF Scot
land, who delivers the course of lec-
lures on Preaching" before Yale Uni
versity next spring, will deliver also the
course upon the "Merrick foundation"
before Ohio Wesleyan University.
-Telegraphy is being taught to
class of African boys on the Congo, by
Mrs. Bentley, the wife of well-known
missionary. 1t is expected that the
boys will be ready for service as soon as
the Congo railroad is completed. Mrs
Bentley learned telegraphy when she
was last in Europe, for the special pur-
pose of training native operators.
Let us do right and then, whether
happiness comes or unhappiness, is no
very weighty matter. If 1t come, life
will be sweet; II 1t do not come, life will
be bitter; bitter, not sweet, and yet to be
borne. The well-being of our souls do
pends only on what we are; and noble
ness of character is nothing else but
steady love of good, and steady scorn Of

How the Small Economies Help Ones
Appearance.
A girl whose Immediately fresh and
admirably groomed appearance attracted
her women friends attention, took a
roomfull of the sex into her confidence
by explaining how she contrived to look
so uniformly well-dressed in spite Of
limited income. 1T is simply the re-
suit of carefulness," she said; "the old
ounce of precaution worth so many
pounds of cure. Take my boots, for in
stance. Instead OF doubling them into
a shoe-bag, or letting the tops hang over
standing against the wall, / never re-
move shoes, high or low, without the
precaution of slipping in each one hol-
low wooden form just the size of my
foot The uppers are neatly buttoned
over leg shape, and there they are, until
again needed for service. This applies
to all my walking gear-often half q
dozen pairs of boots alta time. Mygowns
are treated in the same fashion,
the waists hooked up over sweet
scented pillows made for the purpose,
with tiny perfumed holsters for the
sleeves, polished wooden racks to sup
port the skirts, and big muslin bags to
encase the whole. l never permit a fine
frock to be folded or hung under any
circumstances. Immediately upon un-
pinning hat or bonnet they are placed
on stand fitted into my closet, where
wired paper-muslin caps are provided
