Tho Cali, OF nature.

From the little child who has
watched Ia despair the last bit Of saw
dust disappear from the dolls body,
to the man who feels his last hope
give way before the tide Of adversely.
human nature Is calling for qualities
and conditions that are beyond the
possibility Of becoming spent.
IL Is not alone OF our OWL joys and
endeavors that n deep need presents
itself. We ask this quality OF endur-
ance for our public men. for our states
scholars, and poets. The judg-
ment OF the world. with reference TO
It's heroes. is more and more ecogniz-
ing staying power In regulating It's es-

learning better and better 10 readily

have the elements OF decay In them
and those which own the germs OF inn
mortality.
When Emerson walked around the
coffin OF Longfellow-the friend OF
years. the one with whom he had taken
sweet counsel-and turning 10 n az
his side whispered. That gentleman
was "A sweet. beautiful soul, but /

When Tennyson aud Whittier give Us
their songs as the twilight OF life
deepens. and we catch the echo OF the
old harmony OF mind and heart,
though the song may not Indicate the

Then the worlds sympathlzers-
those who are elected 10 bear the
burdens OF others-these are they
whose es for tender helpful
ness are lever spent. They may give
and give. until the body Is weary. but
out OF the fullness of sympathy. when
the voice fails, the yearning love and

A rn,nre rnn Of Hope.

LOOK where We may, the future
seems full Of hope. The great world.
slowly and reluctantly, IL may be. is
still opening It's eyes To the appalling
spectacle OF w~retchedness. degradation
and sin that lies SO close to Us on every
hand. The cry OF the afflicted and
downtrodden Is heard at last We re-
fuse 20 acquiesce In what selfshness
and cowaIdice assure us To be newt

their shoulders the burden OF suffer-
ing humanity are beginning TO find not
only sympathy, but help in their
efforts to do battle with the evil
power which now desolates so vast "a
portion OF mankind. The strug-
gle must be long. No

win n sudden triumph. For, ut the

seen only by lone watchers
ON the mountain heights Is re-
vealed in It's glory to the toilcrs on
the plain; when a faith once dim and
faint begins to stir with "a new fire
and "A new life, we can not for long be

Reading the bible.

II Is one thing to eulogize the Bible.
II is another thing TO give IL careful

FoR JoHNsTown's SAFETY.

JoHSsTowN, Pa, june 23.-For sew

Were present. This report recommends
the expenditure of 5000, OoO In order to
make life and property safe In the city

The Johnson lumber company log
boom was a menace to the city and
should be rebuilt or removed. The
greatest point of danger lies In the
stone bridge, famous in the flood,
which the report stated did not have
sufficient waterway TO carry off ordi-

into the town. The bridge should
either be removed or new arches
opened and the channel dredged. IL
also recommended the removal of de-

The nIbIe in our schools.

Men. ask, Shall we teach the Bible
in weekday school? Why not lay
the stress on teaching religion, with
or without the Bible? George w. Ca
BILE asks In the Ladies' Home Journal.
Religion will still be In Its eternal
youth when the Bible has fulfilled its
mighty Office. and passed away from
that heaven where there is no tenn
pie. Religion is not "A knowledge OF
certain things; IL is a state OF
the heart In which all knowledge
should be received and used. How
IA any good teacher help but teach
religion? IL is co-extensive with the
universe. IL Is not mere ecclesi-
astical or acadcmlcal tenets; 10 Is not
any part Of life, il is only the whole
science and art OF life animated and
inspired by a universally pervaslve
and perfect philosophy, the very al
rhabet Of all correct teaching, IN
alphabet whose Alpha and Omega are
Unselhshness.
But unselishness Is not self-annihil-
alton. nor any effort after IL. II Is
but the suhordination OF Self TO its
place IN the universal harmony. Its
result is-what its motive must never
be or the result fails-an inmeasur-
ably greater and better aggrandize-
ment OF self than any self-seeking can
possibly attain. True teaching. then,
whether in the Bible or not, can be
only that sort which moves the
student TO ask, OF every offered
acquisition. not How can this serve
Selfg but, What self-equipment will
this add for that blessed service OF the
universal harmony, which by its
nature tends 10 make the whole uni
verse myself. and saves me from the
folly and ruin OF trying to make Self
my ~universeP

continue their pastori, "-uustry n an
indolent, apathetic manner, leaving TO
nature almost everything except the
operation OF selling and receiving tho

persuaded 10 subdivide their lands and

being kept back chiefly by the con
servativeness OF the creole landholders.
who possess immense estates that are
in~adequately developed. The law OF
inheritance and the obligatory sub
division OF property amongst tho heirs
will modify this state of affairs In the
curse OF time. and these vast holdings
will be gradually broken up and de-
veloped In detail. The process, how
ever. will necessarily be slow, aud
meanwhile. as the state owns no lands.
the increase OF immigration can only
be slow In proportion.
