Seriousness VS. Frivolity.

In the May atlantic, an anony-
nous writer makes plea for ser
iousness, and connects the decline
of states with the disposition to
make light of the gravest matters.
That there is force in the plea
cannot be doubted. Even though
it may be that Americans are suffi-
GENTLY intense in the pursuit of
business" and show little capacity
to enjoy a holiday, the disposition
to make light of serious themes
must he apparent to any one who
surveys the current literature which
supplies almost their only intellec-
tual recreation to so many people.
There is hardly anything nova
days which is not made the subject
of ridicule in the daily press, and
the disposition is strong with very
many of us to laugh at things rather
than at the foibles of individuals.
In so doing we may be keeping
closer to the rule of charity, which
ever spares the errorist. but it al
most inevitably results in a lack of
earnestness in ourselves and a de-
gree of contempt for it in others.
An honestly held conviction is
worthy of respectful consideration,
and should be judged upon its mer-
its; it is never a fit subject to ridi-
Guile. Especially is this the case
where the theme is a grave one.
Argument and free discussion are
the proper means to combat that
which is Objectionable, and though
ridicule has its proper place, it is a
small one and should only be re-
sorted to when we are confronted
with what is palpably absurd.
Free and courteous discussion
can never hurt any cause. Posi-
tive condemnation and even un-
sparing denunciation have their
proper places, but nothing which
can be properly so treated is ever a
fitting subject of ridicule.
History show that the disposition
to make light of things has been Of
ten attendant upon national degen-
eracy, and the subject is worthy the
attention of Americans. We would
by no means advocate the taking of
life hard, we believe that pleas
antry and humor have proper and
valuable uses, but it will be a sad
day when earnestness of purpose
fails to arouse respect, and when
frivolity takes the place of that in
tentness of purpose and conviction
which has always been at the bot
tom of real progress and develop
ment.-EpiscopaI Recorder

A Ouaker's PRAYER.

The following lines were writer
by Thomas Ellwood, the Quaker
friend of John Milton:
o, that my eyes might closed be
To what becomes me not to see!
That deafness might possess my ear
To what concerns me not to hear!
That truth my tongue might always tie
From ever speaking foolishly
That no vain thought might ever rest
Or be conceived within my breast
Wash, Lord, and purify my heart,
And make it clean in every part
And when tits clean, Lord keep it so,
For that is more than | can do.

them in self-denial. Teach them
manly obedience to Christ in all
things. Lift them up, ennoble
them, give them ideas and aims
which will pillow the sod of the mate
rialism around them. Be one of
them, as Paul was with the youth
full Timothy, and, taking them in
unto you, seek to make them true
yoke fellows in Christ York; an.

Easy Chair Christians.

1t is very comfortable and rest
full at home and elsewhere to be able
to occupy an easy chair. In the
Churches lots of Christians are lust
occupying the easy chairs. They
keep up a constant movement, but
it is the movement of rocking
chair Christianity. 1t makes no
advance; it is just forward and
backward over the same lines.
Some rock more rapidly than others,
but it is no help to others they are
just rocking themselves to and fro,
but the cause Of Christ is not
helped forward by them. Let our
young readers be not at ease in
Zion. Their commission has a
" Go !" in it. Work is the great
idea of the Christian life, and co.
operation is the great law of Chris
tian effort. We are working togeth-
er with God.-THe Standard.

Till it Hurts.

We have known many Christian
people who were esteemed to be lib
eral in the use of their money, but
we have known only few who gave
to the limit of self-denial. Is there
one solitary person among all those
who read these lines that has ever
endured real hardship in order that
he might have something to contri-
butte to the wants and woes of his
fellow-men? Is there one who has
restrained his love for rich food and
costly apparel for Christ's sake?
We ask these questions in all seri-
BUSINESS and earnestness. Are we
Christians at all in any high sense
of the word as long as we surrender
nothing except what we can easily
and pleasantly do without? We
must give till it hurts. Not until
then will our bene6cence be Christ
like in its character. Our blessed
Lord poured out his very life for us
men and for our salvation, and we
ought to bring to him the costliest
treasures that we can command.

DOES THIS MEAN PEACE

Rlmored Conference Between the P. r.
Il. and Reading Presidents.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. %. 1892.-Prest-
dent George B. Roberts of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad was too weary and too
busy to talk today, but some results of
his trip abroad have come to. the surface.
Indeed, it is said that as a direct out
come Mr.. Roberts had a loug and earnest
conference with President McLsod of the
Reading system which has brought about
peace between the two companies. 1t
comes from trustworthy sources that the
English shareholders of the Pennsyl-
vania agreed to support President
Roberts. with The distinct understanding
that the company SHOULD stop lighting
aud roll up more dividends.
The conference between the heads OF
the two corporations as a consequence
resulted in All agreement that all the
uending suits against the coal combine
should be dropped. and that PENN
s~yivania shall be supplied with a million
tons OF coal each year. This supply,
il is understood. is to be drawn from the
Jersey Central allotment. Under this
plan of peace. it is further stated that
Reading will again 60 into New Jersey
aud get u leaalizing Statute for the lease
of the Jersey Central.

AS IT LOOKS

From the London Times, Sept. 6, 1902.
The American railroad market has at
tracted u moderate amount of home sup
port, In spite Of the threatened tension
between the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pau and the Reading coal combination
on the question OF the advance in anthra-
cite coal tolls ordered Dy the latter. The
principle involved in this disagreement
is, however, of a different character TO the
customary rate dlspures III the State 8
since, on the present occasion, tue Read,
ing combination is fayoring 4 fair adj
vance toward u profit earning basis, in
stead of the stereotyped procedure OF
cutting" rates hitherto encouraged by
the Pennsylvania. The safest authorities
believe That the policy OF the Reading
will not only commend itself to the Sc
curity holders affected, but will prove
workable and effective. even without the
adhesion of the Pennsylvania Railroad
COMPANY.
