bends respectfully 10 tend the fOulest wound;

with the eternal Christ, that she may wash

the wastes Of time: she bows herself to the
very earth that she may "take the sinner out
81 The dust and Elft the beggar from the
Cunghil," and then "set him with the
tr.nces. even with the princes Of the people"
ofChrist. Especially, In the little ones who
oil her schools she respects and tends the
image of God. and that sprinkling OF the holy
blood which has not yet been forfeited.
But whether she instructs the young, or

Some of the English papers think that Gen

drinking of the poisoned waters of Rome"
because in an issue OF The War Cry he urges
people to a use Of the confession. which, if
not new, is not customary among Protestants.
He tells them:

The audience at the Park theater was
treated to laughable incident at recent
performance A faultlessly dressed young
man, who is railroad telegraph operator,
entered with young lady on his arm and
took seats in the first row OF the balcony.
An acquaintance, who is also an operator,
was in the audience, and, seeing that the
young lady who was with his friend was
not his steady company" tried his best to
attract their, attention. be failed until a
happy thought struck him.
With lead pencil and a penknife he got
q very good "sounder," with which he
called his friends office. AT the very first
call the other fellow started. then glanced
down and detected the originator of the
call. He saw that he was caught and ia
make the best of it took out his own pen
Gil and knife, and the first message clicked
off was, keep your mouth shut" Some
one in the audience who understood teleg
raphy gave the snap away, and until the
curtain went up the two operators were
the center of every ones gaze.-Philadel
