Blast from the Rams Horn,

THERE is something wrong with
the Christian who never gets happy
outside of church.
The man the devil always gets is
the one who thinks he can do as he
pleases and be safe.
AS LONG as the devil remains I'M
chained, the right kind of Chris
tiar will have to fight.
WHAT we take to be trouble would
often be welcomed as a friend, if we
could but see its face.
THERE are great many people
who think that the only way to serve
the Lord is with The mouth.
THERE are people who like to take
up thor cross only when they are
sure that Others will see it.
THERE are people who never have
kind word to say to the living who
are always praising the Gead
AS LONG as men can be found who
are willing to make and sell whisky,
the devil will not run out of work.
How LONG could an angel preserve
his purify and go in society that some
church memLers consider good?
The world will take long step
toward the light when we learn how
to properly ventilate our churches.
A GuOD many church members wal
low in the Sunday newspapers, who
claim that they are trying to be good.
The rich man in hell did not ask
to be taken out; all he wanted was
to be made comfortable where he was
No MAN who will laugh at the
jokes Of circus clown on week

UNDUE CORPULENCY.


How 1t Can Be Reduced BY Proper Diet

There are two kinds of women in
this world who are morbidly unharDy

natures injustice to them. These
two specimens are those who are
either extremely thin or who are bur
dened with an excess of flesh. Tho
former, however, though it may be
treason to expose their little frauds
may help nature out by sundry paos
and fluffy style of dressing, but the
stout woman, despite all her efforts
to hide her undue corpdlence, is con-
sciOus always that her flesh is un-
wieldy But to such as these there
Is only one method of actual reduc-

views of morality, its relation to acts
harmless in themselves. and the state
of the thoughts and affections. Since
the weakening Of a belief in vicari-
Gus atOnement, the ethics of Jesus
have become an illuminating force
for the conscience. But. with all
this broadening and enlarging of the
moral sphere, the old dragon of
worldliness still turks in the cave by
the wayside. In an age of great
wealth and profuse display, it is easy
to slip from spiritual perceptions
down to the level Of sensuous tyranny.
1t is a difficult thing not to be
harmed by the world when it's treas
ures all lie at your feet. The ideal
soon fades and withers before the
actual glory and pride of life. 1t is
right to love the world, but to love
it as a stepping-stone to interior
growth. 1t is right to enjoy, but not
to give our best self to enjoyment.
1t is right to live in the world, and
yet the religious nature must always,
in sense. be apart. Sensuous
beauty, how exquisite, how exciting,
how glorious. But, once its slave,
the chances are that we shall not
again become free; and freedom to
seek refuge in God is the highest
happiness Of the soul.

courtier, whose vices Chrysostom had
reproved, said maliciously: "You

him in prison and load him with

The demand for wrOught-irOn pipe
began with the invention of illumi-
mating gas, but the introduction OF
illuminating gas at first was very
slow in consequence of prejudice and
want of appreciation of its import
ance. About the time of the inven-
tion of Illuminating gas, which was
in the latter part of the seventeenth
century, the long war between En-
gland and France was drawing to
close 1t had made a great demand
for gun barrels, which were largely
made at Wednesday,, England, and
at its close it left a large amount OF
this stock on the market. which (there
being no other demand for it, was
used for the small gas tubes by screw
ing the small end of one tube into
the large end OF another. This sup
ply apparently covered the demand
for small tubes for some time and the
larger ones were made in the same
manner.-Iron Age.

The Wizards Next Feat,

81 think shall soon turn my at
tcntion to one of the greatest prob
lens that have ever thought Of solv-
ing, and that is, the direct control of
the energy that i, stored up in coal,
so that it may be employed without
waste and at very small margin of
cost" said Mr.. Edison. "Ninety per
cent of the energy that exists in coal
is now lost in converting it into
power Now that is an aw-
ful waste, and even child can see
that if this wastage can be saved it
will result in vastly cheapenlng the
cost of everything which is manu-
featured by electric or steam power.
In fact, it will vastly cheaper the
cost of all the necessarics and luxuries
of life, and l suppose the results will
be of mightier influence upon civili-
zation than the development of the
steam engine and electricity have
been. 1t will, in fact, do away with
steam engines and boilers, and make
the use OF steam power as much of a
tradition as the stage coach now is"
Mr.. Edison looks further ahead
than this campaign, for he said: IL

known principle that water is a more

The Body of Religion.

A Christian life cannot exist with

the body of living. He who neglects
outward observance, who lives with
out church-membership. without at
tendance upon meetings, without
private or family devotion, without
fixed habits of benevolence. is trying

soul SO strong that 1T can afford to
dispense with its earthly tabernacle
while it stays here: there is no Chris
tian life SO vigorous that it will not
languish il it he divorced from those
outward acts and habits that are its

prepared for trial and thoroughly fur

tect himself and support himself by

''The best way of keeping clear Of
all faults is the constructive method
the building up OF our characters
continually in the strength and
beauty OF evangelical holiness. Here
ligiOus character Is the union OF prin-
ciple and principle the basis.
the constant, the essential; feeling,
the variable, existing in unlike pro-
portions in different persons, and in
the same person at different times
Neither can be wanting and the
other be genuine and valid. Prin-
ciple implies love of what it COM
mands and sanctions; feeling, if
rightly directed and duly cherished,
must be constantly consolidating it,
self into principle, and as constantly
replenished by prayer and devout con-
temptation, lust as the vital fluid in
organic being is always forming
tissue, bone, and muscle, and is re-
placed continually by nutrient mat
ter. Yet in some of the really excel
lent of the earth there is not an alb
sence of feeling, but little or none
that coins itself into visible, audible,
readable tokens or its own type-per-
sons in whom religious principle is so
prominent, active, unresting, exact
ing, as to lead to a certain jejuneness
in emotional expression, not because
emotion is wanting, but because as
fast as it rises it assumes the concrete
form of vigorous Christian activity,
and is therefore to be measured not
by its utterance, but byit life-work.
On the other hand, intense feeling
sometimes satisfies itself with its own
fulness and fervor, ard is content
with low and faulty moral standard.
Religious feeling has its essential
part in the living, perpetual sacrifice.

knowledge.

Every kind of knowledge comes into
play some time or other; not only that
which is systematic and methodized,
but that which is fragmentary, even
the odds and ends, the merest rag or
tag of information. Single facts
anecdotes, eXpressiOns-recur to the
mind, and by the power of association
just in the right place. Many of these
are land in during what we think our
idlest days All that fund of matter
which is used allusively in similitudes
and illustrations is collected in di-
versions from the path of hard study.
He will do best in this line whose
range has been the widest and the
freest. A man may study so much by
rule as to lose all this; just as one
may ride so much on the highway as
to know nothing that is off the road.
