Hear us and bless US,
Forgive lis, redress ust
Breathe on our spirits Thy love and Thy
Teach Is1 Us Content with Thy fatherly dealing,
Teach us to love Thee.
To love one another, brother bis brother;
And make US all free
Free from the shackles Of ancient tradition,
Free from the censure of man for his

Help US each one to fulfil bis true mission,
And show US It's god-lIke, to labort
God of the darkness, God Of the'sun,
God of the beautiful, God Of each one!
Clothe us and feed us,
Hume us and lead US;
Show us that avarice holds us in thrall.
That the land Is all Thine, and Thou givest
to all.
Scatter our blindness:
Help us do right, all the day and the night;
To love mercy and kindness;
Aid us to conquer mistakes of the past;
Show US our future to cheer US and arm US,
The upper, the better. the mansions Thou

And, God Of the grave, that the grave can.
not harm as.

A Progressive japanese Yiscount.

1t is only little over q year ago that
Japan adopted constitutional form of
government, fashioned very closely after
the systems Of America and Europe. The
Viscount Tsni has been one Of the FORE
most spirits in bringing, this about, and
is certainly fair type Of people who
already rank among the most intelligent
and progressive to be found anywhere.

The Color Of the Eye.

The color of the iris is not uniform in
any eye. Some eyes have spots, others
stripes, still Others blotches OF white,
green, blue, yellow and black, and the
eye takes its color from the predomin-
ance of one hue. An eye that is con-
sidered grey will often be composed of
black and yellow. An eye that is
thought to be brown will be very dark,
red, with spots Of yellow or blue.

MYSTERIOUS MALADY.

1t is estimated that Marcus Days losses Of
colts at the Bitter Root Stock Farm, near
Butte, Montana, this season will aggregate
100000. Five-sixths Of the colts foaled

There has been similar epizootic in the
breeding regions of Kentucky for the last
two years. The veterinary surgeons said
that it was the grip, but many expert horse
men assert that it Is due to breeding mares
SO that the foals appear in January and
February instead of April and May. How
eyer, the mortality Is far less this year than

they spend their life in hunting for musk
rats and mud turtles instead of hunting for
Rocky Mountain eagles; always for some
thing mean instead Of something grand.
They look at their neighbors' imperfections
through microscope, and look at their own
imperfections through telescope upside

hurt them halt so much as one fault Of some
body else Their neighbor's imperfection
are like gnats and they strain them QUIT
their own imperfections are like camels, and
they swallow them.
But lest any might think they escape the

make the questions OF time more prominent
than the questions OF eternity. Come now,

all tempted to make the question, Where

question. Where shall live forever!
How shall get more dollars heres greater
than the question, How shalt lay
shall pay my debts to man? greater than
the question. How shall meet my obliga.

cain the world? greater than the question,
What If lose my soul? the question, Why
did God let sin come into the world? greater
than the question. How shall get it ex-
tirpated from my nature? ths question,
What shall do with the twenty or forty
or seventy years Of my sublunar existence?
greater that the question, What shall do
with the millions Of cycles of my post
terrestrial existence? Time, how small it is!
Eternity, how vast it is! The former more

secrated their wit and their humor to the
cause of Christ.
So it has been in all the ages, and say to
these young theological students, who clus.
ter in these services Sabbath by Sabbath,
sharpen your wits as keen as scimiters and
and then take them into the holy war. 1t Is
very short bridge between q smile and
tear, suspension bridge from eye to lip.
and it is soon crossed over. and smile is
sometimes just as sacred as q tear. There Is
as much religion, aud think little more,
in q spring morning than in stariess mid
night.
Religious work without any humor or wit
in it is a banquet with side Of. beef, and
that raw, and no condiments and no dessert
succeeding People will not sit down at such
a banquet BY all means remove all frivolity
and ali pathos and oil ighrness and all vul.
earity--strain them out through the sieve OF
holy discrimination; but, on the Other hand,
beware of that monster which overshadows
coming up from the Great Sahara Desert OF
Ecclesiasticisu, having on its back hump
OF sanctimonious gloom-and Vehemently re-
fuse to swallow that camel.
Oh, how particular great many people
are about the intnitesimals while they are
quite reckless about the magnitudes. What
did Christ saw Did He not excoriate the
people in His time who were so careful tc
wash their hands before meal, but did not
wash their hearts, 1t is bad thing to have
unclean hands; it is worse thing to have
an unclean heart. How many people there
are in our time who are very anxious that
after their death they shall be buried with
their feet toward the east, and not at all
anxious that during their whole life they
should face in the right direction 80 tna'
they shall come up in the resurrection OF the
just whichever way they are buried. How
many there are chiefly anxious that min.
lister OF the Gospel shall come in the line OF
whether he comes from Apostle Paul o..
Apostle Judas. They havea way OF meas
uring gnat until it is larger than a camel.
