Do to-day the duty that lies next to
 you. Add to your faith virtue." To
 your belief that the Sermon on the Mount
 presents an ideal life, add the courage
 to carry that belief out. Live what you
 think; then, living what you think, the doors will open wide to you, to larger thinking and better belief. Carry out the impulses that God puts into your heart to-day, and out of that carrying out there shall issue large and diviner impulse tomorrow. Take the clue he puts into your hand, and follow it. If you are as one in the Catacombs, in ab- solute darkness, and if there is in any direction the least glimmer of light, go to 1t; 1t will grow brighter and brighter as you go. It will never come to you while you sit still. Enter the wicket gate. Then do not think you have wings and are to go flying to Beulah. There is only one pathway from the wicket gate to the land of Beulah. It is the pathway of duty that is trod step by step, day by day. duty by duty. It Is perfectly simple thing to begin Christ ian life: Do the thing that God calls you to do to-day. It Is a perfectly simple thinr to grow in Christian life: Do day bv day the duty God calls you to day by Abbott.

of Cherbourg harbor to do battle with the
Alabama, and this point will be the scene
of many pleasant, stirring reunion during
the week. In the center of the oval stands
flag tower surmounted by staff from
the top of which, at height of 160 feet

Decoration of the Opera House.
The balconies are hung with broad widths
of garnet plush, profusely embroidered
and silver fringed, festooned in graceful
folds and alternating in the folds with
drapery of brown silk. Over and behind
the gas fixtures are set pieces representing
armorial trophies in steel highly polished
and rejecting the light from spear and he'll

twined with the drapery drops an insinua-

more subdued effects. The boxes are
draped and decorated in similar manner
and flags are hung in their rear.
Brilliant with Bunting Outside.
The walls are decorated with bunting,
flags and shields, but in a most artistic
manner. Over the top of the stage is a
mass of flags and Shields and from this as
a focal point radiate a dozen broad
streamers beneath the ceiling to the
opposite walls, making stripes of red and
blue against the ceiling. The exterior of
the building is festooned and tagged in a
most elaborate manner, flags of all nations
hanging. from the windows and bands of
bunting bespangling the walls.
