Doubtful Things.
Central Presbyterian.

Central Presbyterian.
Young people get unnumbered
warnings against doing. that which is
evil; unnumbered appeals to do just
ly and live righteous lives; ever
since SolomOn's day wise people
have understood that the hope of the
world lay in guiding young people
into paths of virtue and holiness; and
all along the centuries danger.signals
have been set up against this and
that form of wickedness.
Yet, after all, if you consult your
own experience, it is not to wicked
ness that you are greatly tempted:
certainly not you children of the
Church; certainly not many Of you.
But it is the doubtful things that en-
snare you; the things which you may
do and keep your respectabiity;
which you may do and he eminentlY
stylish; for which you can find no
"ThOu shalt not" laid down in the
word; and yet which make against
your holiness.
John Newton's Illustration is a
perfect picture of what we are calling
your thoughts to; he says it is per-
fectly safe to bring a green log and a
lighted candle together, but get few
chips and shavings under your green
log, and then apply your candle, and
in the blaze made by the chips and
the shavings, presently your log will
begin to burn.
The green log is the great wicked
ness; the lighted candle is Satan's
temptation; and the quickly-caught
chips and shavings are those doubtful
things which you are daily tempted
to do.

Proverbs for the New Year.

Begin the year with godly fear.
A calm hour with God is worth a
lifetime with man.
Gods Rest>day is our best day.
He that will make Gods will his
will, will have his will.
God sends us food by our own
hands.
Know thyself, but better know thy
Lord.
A gracious eye beholds Gods gra-
cious Hand.
Let faith shut the door at night,
and mercy will open it in the morn
ing.
Abraham left off asking, before
God left off giving.
Faith honors Christ, and Christ
honors faith.
God is where He was.
Faith gets most, humility keeps
most, love works most.
A Sabbath well spent brings a week
of content.
Gospel commandings are gracious
enablingS.
Fiery trials make golden Christians.

Collector Erhardt has given out, in reply
to various questions put to him touching his

My duties are necessarily performed through

New York from Washington at the dictation
of private individual having no official
responsibility. The Collector is practically
deprived of power, while he is left subject
to all tho responsibility The Office is no
