Life is doing well.-John Locke.
When all our DAYS are holidays there is

Our religion calls us not from gladness
TO gloom, but from low pleasures to high
ones, and from short pleasures to long
ones. This is the sum and substance OF
our 'self-denial. ID j. Buried

The real wonder is that many can be as
religious as they are. with so many low
estimates of life, so many ledger oalcula-
tions of value, so much dishonest integ-
ritY.-C T. Ebernan.
Systematic support of missionaries is a

If man has sscended from the monkey
instead of descending from Adam; il he
has come up from the lower animals and
not come down from heaven, then how is
1t that he should have degenerated and
not improved all around the circle of his
animal powers? A recent acute writer
on this theme has shown that every ami
