The Chfldren's Letters.

There is not one man, woman or child in 10 who would not, if left alone, de- light in reading aloud for the benefit of everybody part or all of his or her cor respondence. The news would all be told in 10 minutes and in chorus, but if one is continually poked at all is spoiled. A child will naturally share 8 letter with an interested mother and enjoy it more for the doing, but the private let ter box evil has in great measure grown from the impertinent interfer- ence, for 1t is really that, with the young peoples right of privacy. Know all about a child's correspondence, of course, but do your supervision tactfully and as justly as possible. Children ap- preciate justice more than we give them credit for.-Jenness Miller Illustrated.

It is not always good economy, to leave any other issue out of the question, to put the feeblest of furniture to the serv- ice of servants. A cracked pitcher which assisted at 8 maids toilet gave way suddenly while the girl stood in her bare feet, and falling cut her sufficiently to lay her up for several days. Another girl was hurt and temporarily incapac- itated for work by thrusting her hand through pane in her window that had been cracked for months. The moral of all of which is obvious.-New York Timss.

The Formation of Forehssds.

Aa book on Character In the Face" {" the writer, on the authority of Aristotle, says that linen with small foreheads are ungovernable and like swine. Those with large foreheads are ruminative, like COWS. Owners of rounded foreheads are irrational, as donkeys. Somewhat flat foreheads might be held for wise, like dogs. Square, regularly propor- tioned foreheads are magnanimous. like the lion. Low foreheads incline to pas sion and fattery. Melancholy foreheads tend to harshness." More recent an- thropologists, however, hold slightly different views. According to these. ia narrow, contracted, receding forehead is to be accepted as a feature of inferiority; an ample, we'll formed one as token of superior brain development. A very high and bulging forehead indeed sug- gests water on the brain rather than any particularly exalted mental power, and, on the other hand, idiots, and more es- pecially microcephales, have fattened, retreating foreheads, plainly showing their lack of intelligence In the fore head, as in most things, happy me dium is the best

apostles dld. do not mean that we are to copy all their ceremonies or all their forms. But do mean that we are to put into practice in ths nineteenth cen tury the apostolic spirit with the apos- tolic ideal before we can hope for 8 church triumphant. The idea of Paul, the greatest of all the apostles, was simplicity itself. He took the cue from his Masters lips, "Ye shall know them by their fruits" The method of Paul was the method of success, and it is in startling contrast with some modern ideals. The secret of his success is found in this simple statement of his methods:
 I am become all things to all men that may by all means save some." That is to say, the apostolic method of church work means, first, sacrifice of the tra- dihons of the ages and the intensest per sonal convictions on the altar of the suc- cess of the mission. Paul was tradi- honalist. He was 8 pharisee of the pharisees. Yet he laid aside his precon- ceived ideas of church life and church methods upon the altar of this consum- ing passion for the salvation of men. He sunk his personal preferences in his burn ing desire to save men at all hazards. His education and his training were tra- ditional and conventional to the last de- gree.
 The cheapest way of going is the easy going way, the way of laziness and of sacred and of solemn traditions. The church needs to pray today as 1t never prayed before, 'Lord, help us to bury our past, to slay our own ideas of suc- cess and lay them on the altar of today's consuming needs" The way to con- duct church affairs Is the way that saves men. The apostolic method of church work implied in the highest de- gree sensationalism, and in my humble opinion the church that will triumph in the city in the future will be g church that in the best sense is sensational. I do not mean 8 church that desoends to suffoonery and dog shows and the like, but I do mean . ahnnA .1AAG 1nAs not

 nvss. He preached an applied gospel. To prsaoh l. not merely proclamation. It is an application practical to life. Ono of the secrets of the failure of the church today in its ministry is that it lacks the clements of directness. We are not toushsd with tho personal, everyday life of the world. We do not get at the per- sonality of the people.
 The old method of sngling out men was moro efncacious in really reaching them. A country clergyman recently had an experience that 1t might be we'll for the pastors of some dead city churches to adopt. The young people in the congre- gatioo had habit of getting up and go- ing out during the service. At last the preacher resolved to act. A youth grew sleepy ono Sunday evening. picked up has coat and hat and stepped into the aisls. Tho young woman who was his swesthsaxt had grown tired and gone out Nst1s bsfors. To his dismay, the min istsr stopped short in his discourse and said: Young man, the young lady who went out last is not the ono you wish to see home. When she goss, I will let you know. Sit down. In tho future when a woman goes out will call on the proper man to take care of her." He resumed his sermon. There was great deal of e1ggllng and considerable wrath, but the sermons wsss not interrupted again dur Ing the winter.
 PROx11ET VERSUS PRIEST.
 It is better even to create sensation occasionally that may give rise to ad- vsEse comment than to die or to vege- tats. The temptation of the ministry of today is to talk smooth things. It is to plsass the machines. Men object to be- ing hit. They object to personal meth cd Of applying truth. We have societies for supprsssing vice, but none for sup QrspslnG advice to the preacher.
