"P;tSS 1t On

The Rev. Mark Guy Pearse tells US
that when he was a lad of fourteen
years he was retul ming to his home in
Cornwall from school in Germany,
passing through London OH his way.
After spending little money here, he
took train to Bristol, and then went
on board ship going to Cornwall. tine
railways not running so far in those
days. The passage money, which he
thought included his meals, exhausted
the whole of his cash, and his surprise
was great when the steward, toward
the close of the passage. brought him
a bill for his food. He told them that
he had spent all his money. "Then,"
said the steward, "you should not
have ordered the things you did,"
and asked him for his name and ad-
dress.
Directly the lad had stated who he
was. the steward looked at him intent
ly, and exclaimed, II never thought /
would live to see YOU"
Then he told how that, many years
before, when fatherless boy, and his
mother was in great distr IS, Mr..
Pearse's father befrieGded them. and
he had resolved, if ever opportunity
afforded, he would repay the kindness
thus shown. So now lie paid the
lads bill, gave him five shillings, and
saw him safely landed.
When Mr.. Pearse told his father the
incident, his reply was: "My lad, |
passed the kindness to him long ago
in doing what 1 did, and now he has
passed it on to you. Mind as you grow
up YOU pass it on to Others"
And Mr.. Pearse did not forget see
ing lad one day at the railroad sta
ton in trouble because he had not
enough money by fourpence TO pay for
his railway fare, Mr.. Pearse gave him
shilling, and when the lad brought
him back the change, he told him to
keep it, and that he was going to ride
with him. And then in the carrlage
he told the boy The story of how the
steward had treated him on the boat.
"And now" he said, 81 want you, if
ever you have the opportunity, to pass
it on to Others" Mr.. Pearse got ont
at the junction, and as the train left
the station the lad waved his hand
kerchief, and said, II will pass it
on"
How much brighter and happier the
world would he if everybody would
only "pass on" the little deeds of kind
ness shown to them. Are you doing
| this my young friend, or do you only
pass on unkind actions instead of kind
ones?

The Welcome Hand.

! Some twenty years ago young man
came, a complete stranger, to this city.
On Sabbath morning he went out tC

him. He went OH and came TO an.
other. AS he looked in he saw, first
of all, q hand grasped his warmly and
cordially. He was fairly drawn in and
shown to a good pew. He was Invited
to come again. He decided to make
it his Church home. He was mem
Der of that Church for many years,

years has been in one of the Churches

full office bearer. He never forgets his
kindly greeting on the first day he at
tended worship in this city, and never
aud kindness of the Church and the
man who were back of the hand that
grasped his that morning in welcome.
But on another day, about the same
time, another young man came to that
same Church. The hand was not in
the vestiblule that morning. Perhaps
its owner was sick. Probably it had
just started up one of the aisles with
stranger. At any rate, it was not at
the door to greet this young man. He
started up an aisle timidly and took
his seat in uncertainty and loneliness.
Soon a gentleman and his family came
to the pew, and the young man under
stood that he was invited to vacate his
seat. This he did hurriedly, and has
tened ont of the Church. If any one
was ready and anxious to offer him a
seat in another pew, he did not know
it. He only slnarted under the sense
that he had gotten into pew where he
was not welcomed. He felt that he
would never go back again to that
Church. In some way or other deep
wound was made on him from which
it proved very hard for him to recover.

Doctor S. had last winter newly ar
rived Hiberian for a servant; he had
also recently purchased pair of por-
poise leather boots. His wife, attract
ed by the novelty of the new footwear,
asked the doctor in the presence of the
servant what they were made Of to
which he responded, ''porpoise hide"
Shortly after the lady from the En-
erald Isle interviewed Mrs. S. and an
nounced her intention of "laving whin
me week is up" Mrs. S., somewhat
surprised, asked the disturbed domes-
tic the reason for her announced de-

OyerLaken In n Fault.

The Christians scheme of grace is
conducted upon principles of tender
sympathy and mercy for others. If
we find fallen brother along the way
side of life, filled >with a spirit of
meekness and thoughtfulness of our
uncertain footsteps, we should possess
the spiritual instinct of pity for the un-
fortunate. We must remember that
the land through which we are all
passing has its secret pitfalls and dan
"erous defiles; thatrfrowning noun
..ins are to be scaled, arid wastes to
be crossed, battles are to be fought and
won, and old prejudices to he over.
come. Take two Christians. One
may be strong at certain points of
but particularly weak at
others; while his uSsorates may have
these characteristics precisely reversed.
IF one is blessed with wealth. he may
be in danger of pride; if one is poor,
lie may be tempted to murmur against
Providence. If one has ten. talents,
he may become vain on that account,
if another has but the one talent, he
may be tempted to bury it. If one is
ra>h, he may be tempted to passionate
Judgment while another who is over
cautious may fall into the snare of
slothfulness. The perils against which
we have to guard in life are numerous
and varied, and all largely peculiar to
each individual.
But let us remember that when our
brother man is overtaken in o fault,
,yp are TO restore such one according
TO The law of all true life, which is
the Golden Rule. This divine law ell
joins upon US to bear with the inflrm-
tiles and disabilities of others so long
rs there is any reasonable hope of
helping them to do this, not profes-
siolally, but in genuine sympathy ;
fulfilling this law, not only by remov-
ing evil from another, but tenderly
providing that which is good promp-
ted to do all this, not from u natural
ly benevolent nature, but from the en-
lightened motives of godiy activity.

Dor, one could not help thinking o1
something else. The reporters of the
papers as their sketches show, could
not help comparing these ships one
with another and guessing which
would whip in actual fight.
The truth is they wele made fol
fighting. Every feature in their con-
struction was planned with that in
view and the pleasure in many heart
al sight of the splendor of the great
parade must have been greatly spoiled
at thought Of the scenes of carnage
ana ruin through which these same
ships and men may have to pass.
Why do such vessels exist? They
were not made for show. Take off the
covering of glitter and pomp and Sou
fiHd staring you in the face the nation
al hatred and distrust which built ev-
cry war ship on the sea. These ha--
treds and suspicious are wicked aud
imhuman, and therefore such ships in-
stead of standing for civilization and
progress are but the outward symbols,
decked out in modern tinery, of That
which is lowest and cruelest Ill hu-
man nature. Hatred, revenge, dis
trust! These are the words that ought
to he written high up on the proWs of
them all.
In The case of our own navy, there is
not the shadow of an excuse, outside
of wholly intounded fear, for adding
another vessel to it. Every nation re-
spects US. No nation is thinking of
attacking us. The money spent on
three million dollar battle-ships is alb
Soiutely wasted. Not even the mag
niiicence of such spectacle as that
just witnessed can justify us in what
we are doing. In this respect, instead
OF bringing up other nations to our
own plane, we are going headlong
down TO theirs. For the sake of the
superficial and and ephemeral respect
of nations essentially warlike, we are
sacrificing Il deeper and truer one in
spired by our civil aud religious free
dom, a respect much more powerful
for guarding our shores than all the
armor-pIated battle-ships that we can
build. In some as yet unforeseen woy
we are sure to reap the fruits of this
ineXcusable folly.

Jemima Lawrenccville and go and

Jemima Lawrenceville was a great
