SIN AND SATAN.

To LISTEN to doubt is to listen to a
devil.
THE devil will not be afraid of your
Bible if there is dust on it.
To KNOW that sin is sin without for
saking it is to commit greater sin.
SIN would never hurt anybody if
it couldn't look little and harmless at
first.
THE devil tries harder to catch one
young man than he does dozen old
ones.
The love that men have for little sins
is the same kind that devils have for
big ones.
ALL the ''no-harm'' people in the
world have never driven the devil back
single inch.
THE only difference education can
make in sin is to make it change the
manner of its expression.

A CUNuREsS OF YOUTH.
The Talented Young Men of All
Nations at the Worlds Fair.


Provision has been made for the hold
ing, in Chicago at the time of the
worlds fair, of a congress composed OF
youths of all nations of the world.
Delegates will be sent, it is expected,
from England, Japan, France, Ger
many, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Austria,
Italy, Russia and countries of the
Orient. These young men are to be
selected from the high schools and the
grammar-school grades. Their ages are
to range between thirteen and twenty
years. No worlds fair congress has
been thus far arranged for, it is thought,
that will excite more interest than this
project.
The idea is to get from each country
not more than from fifteen to FORTY or
fifty students All told, it is intended to
have five thousand at the congress, and
a special committee has been appointed
to see that proper encouragement is
lent to induce attendance. The prelimi-
nary address of the special committee has
been issued by A. L. Nightingale,
chairman, and f. F. Bliss, secretary.
President Bpnney, of the worlds con-
gress auxiliary, says that the topics dis
cussed will touch neither upon religion
nor politics His idea is Co gather in
Chicago next year representative as
sembly of the educated youths of all
countries. They are to be addressed by
the leading educators of the age who
may be in Chicago. The sche me origi-
mated with a committee of which
Francis Bellamy is chairman The
pith of the argument for such a con
gress is embraced in the following par
agraph from the preliminary address:
1t is felt that a carefully selected
assembly of the young from all nations,
under such remarkable conditions as
Will prevail during the Columbian ex-
position, cannot fail to powerfully aid
this high end. 1t is proposed to draw to-

sible, the meaning and the worth of |

brought thus together, and face to face
With the larger relations Of our indie
pendent humanity, those fresh minds
you'd g"eatly gain in fitness for the
Important tasks decreed to their future.
Among them would be many who will
survive all who are now active on the
tage of the worlds affairs and who
would therefore stand before the gen
ration to follow us as witnesses of the
power OF the worlds expo
ition of 1898, and be inspired by its in
uence to higher and more useful
areers, making the fulfllment of It's

moment its writing body began to
crack as the king snake coiled about
the RATHER and began to contract it's
own powerful muscles In its des-
perate struggles the rattlesnake
knocked the door of its box into pieces
with blow of its tail and both reptiles
fell out on the floor. Burns did not
care to take any part in the quarrel.
He summoned an assistant and finally
got the victor into box. The fight
lasted but fifteen minutes.
