without any explanation or answer. at the

Aye. aye. aye! Let us respectfully reply to
this strange and startling question OF the per-
picked Rabbi SOLOMON with the word. Ayel
Cast out cant. esteemed contemporary. all
cant. Adopt the religion OF reality. Give no
countenance to cant. Stand up for righteous
ness. Fail not to expose and denounce cant Of
every kind at all times. Take up that religion
which is genuine and substantial. Cry aloud.
No cant on the lips! No cant in the life! No
cant at the atari The a~bomination Of the
world is cant The supreme word OF the soul
is Truth.
When our bewildered contemporary cries
out. Can't we have q religion without cant? 2"
we reply with assurance that there Is no re-

blasphemous. %damnable.

ITO my mind the conviction Of DR..

THEY ARE GUILTY.
PrOfcsscd Christians are Re

Curse.

How many men do you suppose the
past ore OF the evangelical churchs. with
the help OF other "christians," have sent
TO hell, whatever aud wherever that
place is, by their votes to license ss-
looms. No one Of these can refute
Gods word, and that says plainly that
no drunkard shall inherit heaven. The
questio then is: How many drunk
ards have been made in the saloons you
sanction and support? Perhaps you do
talk and preach and vsporise against
the saloons. but your vote more than
overcomes II all. The fruit" il what

Aim high, but not so high as to over.

Higher education is dangerou. only
when il crowds out the practical.
The note that goes oftenest to protest
is the note Of the amateur cornetist.
A bad education is one that makes you
feel that you are above the honest work

The man who never makes a mistake
Iis out OF his place in this world Of errors.
Heaven is his homo.
The true teacher increases the intensi-
Ity Of his own light the more he sheds II
for the benefit Of others.
When you stumble. look for the cause
OF your stumbling, and remove II for the
benef ft Of those that follow you.
Money that is hon estly made should
lbe spcnt honestly. Ii should not be
paid out for what will injure you phys.
ically, morally or mentally.
The young man who does fifty cents
