GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS

The preacher who declares the whole
counsel of God is sure to antagonize his
hearers The average church member pre-
fers to have his spiritual adviser prophesy
smooth things When the preacher goes
for the sins and follies of the times, men,
bers of the flock are likely to squirm, and,
instead of forsaking their sins, many go for
the preacher. The pastors of aristocrasic
churches who have conscience have hard
roads to travel They are, forsooth. con-
demned for their failures to tell the truth,
and when the truth is told there are those
in every congregation who deplore the
preachers lack of wisdom. The pastors
position is, of all others, the most difficult,

AMERICAN PROGRESS.
Report for Glass A. by j.. s.


No one sixty years ago anticipated crossing
the Atlantic inside of six days-Or sixty miles an
hour by rail- or of telegraph hung around the
globe, yet these have long since been success
fully accomplished But little was then known
of electricity or its powers of transmitting mes
sages. and not until many years after messages
were transmitted did any one anticipate the run
ming of cars through our cities by its wOndrOus
powers. At our 1876 centennial at Philadelphia
an electric light was exhibited as a curiosity,
and now nearly all of our cities, yes, even our
own headquarters are so lighted. The storage
battery is now being so perfected that we may
reasonably look for its being employed to con-
vey passenger cars over our common railroad
tracks, and even to be used in place of the steam
engine for pulling our freight trains. Electric
light and heat is no doubt an accomplishment
for not only lighting, but also for warming our
homes. If the power could be produced by a
small wind mill on our roofs which would run
dynamo and produce these elements and store
them in our attics to be used at pleasure it would
be wonderful indeed.

Best Things.

The best law is the golden rule; the
best philosophy, contented mind; the
best craftsmanship, elf-government;
the best war, that against ones own
weakness; the best medicine cheerful
ness and temperance in all things; the
best music, the laughter of an innocent
soul; the best science, the extracting of
sunshine from gloom; the best art,
painting smile upon the brow of child
hood; the best biography, the life which
writes charity in the largest letters;
the best telegraphing, flashing ray of
light into gloomy heart; the best en-
gineering, building bridge of faith over
the river of death; the best diplomacy,
effecting treaty of peace with ones
own conscience; the best journalism
printing only the good and the true; the
best navigation, steering clear of the
rocks of personal contention; the best
mathematics, that which doubles the
most joys, subtracts the most sorrows,
divides the gulf of misery, adds to the

to the one beneath him. This rat
jumped down and rolled the egg under
