synopsis Of Rev. Wiinam POwick's Inter
esting sermon,
The sermon in the NJ. e. church on SUM
day was from Proverbs 27-1: " Boastnot thy
self of tomorrow, for theu llnowest not what
a day may bring forth" Prudence and pietv
are not antagonistic We have no right to be-
Indifferent to the future. The scripture en-
joins reasonable diligence so far as our tenn
poral future is concerned. There is an ann
bition which is not only lawful but essential
to our welfare. Take away the inspiration
Of hope and most Of the motive power of life
is gone, What is forbidden is boasting of to-
morrow. We need not utter boastful words
about our plans and promises for the future
in order to boast of tomorrow" We do it
when we ignore the opportunities and re-
sponsibilities of to-day. The pupil at school
the apprentice at the bench-the loafer ON
the corner-who neglect the opportunities of
the present under the vain delusion that all
will end well-that better day is coming are
boasting of tomorrow But the most reck-
| less and conspicuous examples we have are in
the religious life. The Savior calls to-day"
have desecrated this holy Sabbath had he
not boasted himself of another day in which
| to repent? Would that last oath have been
uttered but for the hope that God would
grant another day Many will readily admit
that they are living beneath their religious
privilege and in neglect of their religious
duty and that they cannot hope to be saved
/ IL Il
tempt to do so at present because they boast
to themselves of tomorrow. eco thy way
| for this time, when l have convenient season
will call for thee'-as though they were
sure of such season, and as though there
was something in the mere lapse of time to
effect improvement. Whereas we know not
what day may bring forth and that the
tendency of tomorrow is but to confirm and
strengthen the habits Of to-day. In some re-
spects it is well we do not know what day
may bring forth 1t might make us very
miserable, Suppose our bereaved neighbors
had known a week ago that they would to-
night be sitting in the shadow of death-that
the widowed mother had known in advance
of the accident that was to crush the life out
| of her only son-that the victims Of the
cyclone and earthquake had known a year
ago of the losses they were to sustain, would
it have done more than poison their cup of
joy little sooner. On the other hand it
might make us presumptuous. To know
that we had just so long to live might lead us
to neglect that preparation for the future
which is needful to our eternal felicity, as
indeed many are already doing until the
closing period of life, The uncertainty that
hangs over tomorrow is intended to stir us
up to a wise and prompt improvement Of the
present. 1t is a solemn truth that there are
promises for tomorrow. Now is the ac-
cepted time and to-day is the day of saliva
tion." And the use we are mallngof to-day
is determining the use that God will make OF
us tomorrow

The superintendent then announced that
he had decided to let the teachers decide
whether or not they would parade with the

and spirited discussions followed. Some did
not wish to parade and others wanted to see
the male teachers in line Two ballots by
voice were taken and then two rising votes,
but the question remained undecided.
Finally it was decided to take a vote by roll
call and the Chief Burgess, HERALD reporter
and secretary of the meeting, NJ. f. Conry
were made an electoral board
The result of this ballot was 26 to 10 in
favor of the teachers parading with the

We have the statement of the Chief Bur
CESS that he can only advise disinfectants
We have the statements of members of the
sanitary committee that they cannot visit
the infected places and run the risk of carry
ing the diseases into their own families.
We find the doctors unwilling to give the
names of the inflicted parties for publication,
fearing that the patients and parents of
patients will be displeased
We have no law by which the physicians
can be obliged to post notices on the doors
of houses containing contagious diseases
We have no means, apparently, by which
we can compel people to disinfect their
houses.
In fact we have nothing save the advice of
the Chief Burgess and the diseases are
subject to no control.
In this epidemic we are like ship without
seamen.
We must have a Board of Health.

THE action OF the Queen in
compelling Gladstone, in his eighty
third year, with known infirmities,
to take the tedious and, for him,
dangerous trip to the Isle of Wight
for the ceremony OF kissing her hand
as head Of new government can
scarcely elevate her Majesty in the
respect even Of the tories. The COM
mand, which it is pitiable he does not
decline, would be less discreditable il
she were not known to be reluctant
to receive him at all. An Elizabeth,
holding the views Victoria holds on
home rule and division of my king
dom, would send even gray hairs TO
the Tower and end the matter with
"off with his head" But the consti-
tutional position of Guelph and Tu-
dor is not identical. Elizabeth was
indeed sovereign; she governed as
well as reigned; she made the consti-
tuition to her liking, and commoners
had tn take orders from her not she
from commoners. Constitutionally
Victoria's phrase, "my kingdom" is
a bit Of trumpery, for the crown has
no voice now in legislation, and she
is impotent to prevent Gladstone from
shaping the laws so long as he has a
parliamentary majority at his back.

not biindiy. She feels that woman
must not destroy her Individuality 70
please the giddy throng. The third pic-
ture shows thie type-the booklsh girl.
She wears very pretty gown In plain
and striped surah. AS she is almost In
variably tall and slender. the corselet
and blouse effects are very becoming to
her. Speaking OF books reminds me OF
the rumor that literary societies are TO
be the great fad OF the coming winter
season, and you will be expected to
dress for the occasion and not make
your appearance wearing a gown In a
frivolous tone, or dislaying any gaudy
or fiippant style OF garniture. Black
will be the favorite color for these
meetings, and need not add that black
has a hundred charming possibilities.
while these dainty shades usually have
but one.
II is a pity that children can't live
outdoors all the year round; It would
be better for them and better for those
who grumble at their presence. Chill
dren are like birds-outdoors their
voices are pleasing and we never tire OF
listening to them, but behind closed
doors these shrill little notes are apt TO
become BIT too sharp and soon rasp
our nerves. However, we are often too
severe In our judgment on children, and
are inclined to close an account OF their
petty misdeeds. We ought to bear In
mind that the sweetest nuts lie inside
OF bitter rinds.

"Great Scott! sir, what are they?H
asked Slmspon in awe-struck tones.
"There, have the proof from your
own lips, you see, and / desire more

excitedly, "we're not running a Y.

no." answered his employer, "but
is the any necessity for employing
such emphatic language in your daily
copyersatiQn?"
"Great Caesar! How can a man
help-I beg your pardon, sir, will
set watch on my lips-it's the force
of habit, know"
Mr.. Simpson bowed himself out and
his fellow-clerks at once asked him II
he had been called in by the "boss" to
have his salary raised.
Jumping Jerusalem, no." he said.
Then he suddenly became mute, and
refused to say another word for the
rest Of the afternoon.

wherever a group OF hOrsemen gath
er. Horsemen are unanimous in say
ing that Nancy Hanks 2:074 to a bi-
cycle sulky was superior to Sunol's
2:0S4 over a klte-shaped track. The
fleet-footed Nancy is now supreme
queen of trotters.
Nancy Hanks is small bay mare,
foaled in 1866 at Lexington, Ky. She
was sired by Happy Medium, and
her dam was Nancy Lee, by Dicta-
tor. The young mare was handled by
Ben Kinney, of Kentucky, who gave
her a 3-year-old record Of 2:249. She
followed this up by trOtting in 2:142
as a 4-year-old at Lexington, and she
was heralded as one of the greatest
trotters of the decade. In 1891 she
became the property OF j. Malcolm
Forbes, of Boston, for something like
$25, 900, and at Richmond, Ind, took
a mark of 200. This was not her most
noteworthy feat last year, however,
as she defeated the great stallion,
Allerton, In one of the greatest races
on record at Independence, Iowa.
Under Budd Poble's careful handling
this season the gallant little daugh-
ter of Happy Medium (she is barely
Is hands high) has developed remark
able speed. She is but years old,
and the contest for supremacy be-
tween her and Mr.. Bonner's great
5-year-old mare Sunol will be closely
watched. Mr.. Bonner's mare made q
record of 2:0s3 over the kite-shaped
course at Stockton, CAL, last fall as
a 4-year old.
The following day another worlds
record was smashed on the same
track, and Hal Pointer was the horse
that did 1t. The fastest pacing mile
that had been made previous to that
day was 2:06, 10y Direct, last year.
Hal Pointers time was 2:05i-the
fastest mile that has ever been made
In harness.
