LIGHT AND JOY.

want to show you how the work OF God
does create a joy-making people. AS soon
as ever we are converted, what Is one of the
first things that come of it? Why, joy. The
morning found Christ it showed very hard
The snowfakes huttered around me, like
white doves, az went home; and felt just
as light as those, for my soul was washed
lighter than snow. It was not gloomy
winters day to me; but all nature wore her
bridal dress in sympathy with my delight.
Was it net so with you on the day OF your
new birth?
Were you not as happy as ever you could
he when you first found the Saviour! So far,
you see, the Lord creates joy; and it is bet.
ter still further on. When the creation oil
God goes on, and man is helped to conquer
sin, when the work of grace in his soul grows
and increases, he cries! "Thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory; and he gets in:
creased joy in his soul over every conquered
sin. When YOU and l see sin subdued, do
we not feel happy?
Whenever the news comes 10 me that
man has been reclaimed from drunkenness,
or q woman is saved from the streets, or
when hear Of hard-hearttd sinner re-
penting, rejoice IN the Lord. Conversion
days are our high holidays; :revivals are our
jubiees. Thus the Lord gives us opportuni-
ties for joy and rejoicing as his new-creation
work proceeds stage by stage. Better days
ore in store. it may be; and trust that in
years to come we shall more and more be-
hold God working and shall rejoice therein.
But by. and by there will be still greater
joy. -,
We shall enter into heaven, and there will
be joy among the angels and joy in our
heart over Gods new creation-work, which
will proceed at glorious rate. Then the
nations will be converted to God. know
not when or exactly how, but the day shall
come when Christ shall reign from pole to
pole. And what JOY that shall be! We
shall indeed be glad in that which God Gre
ates, as the islands Of the sea shall ring out
his praise! Then Christ the Lord will come,
and what rejoicing there will be in that
day when be has fully fashioned the new
people, the seed Of Abraham, shall be
gathered in with exultation. We will clap
our hands when the long wandering nation
shall turn unto the true God, and own the
rejected Messiah Of the house Of David; the
Gentiles will not be jealous. They will re-
joice as the Jew comes IN; and then will the
Jews rejoice over the Gentiles, as they see
them worshipping Abrahams God.
Everything that Is to come in the eternal
future flashes light into the eyes Of believers,
and calls upon them to rejoice in anticipa-
by us. There is nothing foreto!d by seer or
beheld in vision that can alarm the Chris
tian. He can stand serenely on the
brink. of the great eternity and say:
"Come on! Let every event FORE
told become a fact! Pour out your vials, We
angels! Come, Cog and Magog, to the last
great battle of Armageddonw Nothing is to
be dreaded, nothing is to be feared by those
who are one with Jesus. To US remains no.
thing but JOY and rejoicing, for God hath
made his people rejoicing; yea, bis people
ajoy.-[C. II. Spurgeon.

An Awful Slavery.

"Were you ever troubled with the
thought while you walked along some
street." said Charles Ebert, who is at
the Lindell, 'that somehow you ought
not to step on the cracks that separate
the hagstones of the pavement or the
boards of the walk? You have been,
th-well, then you know. That is the
meanest habit to form. The crack
lodging habit is the worst of all.
eff could exchange this miserable
feeling that possesses me when I walk
along the street for any one of those
habits-providing 1 didu't possess all
of them already-I would do it in
simultaneously. 1 will start out of a
morning for pleasant stroll, just to
see the beauty of nature, and uncon-
sciously I will begin to step over all
cracks. Then 1 will accidentally step
on one and all my prospective pleasure
is gone-simply dispelled and driven
away by that one miserable thought of
utter uselessness that I have stepped
on o crack. 1 have started for home
of nighttime fairly tired and con-
scious of duties well done purposing
to enjoy long, sound sleep.
"Again fall into the desire to avoid
stepping on those miserable partition
lines. If succeed in avoiding all Of
them I rest beautifully, but il not then

sleep, in which there is no satisfaction
whatever. Of all the diabolical mental
inventions that go to break up a mans
happiness and peace of mind, this one
mental status of avoiding cracks is the
most consummate that any evil genius
could afiict man with. st. Louis

The prettiest model is an angling boat.
It's sails are made in long strips, ex-
tending from the yard to the bottom.
They are knit together with ropes in a
peculiar fashion and each strip is made
fast at the bottom by line OF its own.
The main stick is in the center, with
smaller ones fore and aft. The rudder
is nearly as long as the boat The
oars are spGced just above the socket
with band of rope. In makeup it

this Is to those who go into useless danger
and expose their lives or their regulations or
their usefulness unnecessarily. When duty
demands 90 ahead though all earth and hell
oppose. Dodge not one inch from the right
position. But when nothing is involved step
back or step aside.
Why stand in the way of perils that you
can avoid2 Go not into quixotic battles to
fight windmills. You will be OF more use to
the world and the church as an active Chris
tian man than as target for javelins. There
are Christians always in fight, II they go
into churches, they fight there. II they go
into presbyteries or conferences or consocia-
tions, they fight there. Ny advice to you Is,
if anything is to be gained for God or the
truth, stand out of the way OF the javelin.

A Punctual Red Nan

Matthias Splitlog, chief of the Wyan.
dottes, lives in Kansas, and being known
to possess about Il million dollars worth
of property is called the wealthiest Indian
in America Although over seventy years
of age, and unable to read or write, he is n
keen business man. BY his shrewdness
and ability he has acquired large tracts of
land in Kansas and Missouri, houses and
lots in Kansas City, and has money invest
ed in number of paying enterprises.
The white men to whom he gave S20,-
600 lesson in punctuaiity had persuaded
him to sell them n certain tract of land for
$500 and were to pay him the money at
10 o'clock at bank in Kansas City. On
the appointed morning, a few minutes be-
fore the hour named, the old Indian en-
tered the bank and took a seat, with his
eye fixed upon clock. The capitalists had
not appeared when the hands of the clock
reached the hour. AS it began to strike
the old Indian arose to his feet and at the
last stroke of the clock he promptly walked
out of the building. On the street, less
than block away, he met the men who
were to buy his land hurrying toward the
bank. They begged him to return with
them, but he refused, saying that if they
still wished to deal with him he would
meet them at 10 o'clock on the following
day at the same place.
This time both the white men and the
Indian were promptly on hand, but when
the former offered old Matthias the price
agreed upon for the land he told them that
while S140, 600 was yesterdays price to-
days price was S160000 and to these terms
they finally were compelled to accede.-

Crosses Imprinted by lightning.

Crosses imprinted by lightning are very
old, for Gregory Nazianzen declares that
in the year $50 A. ID. they were imprinted
upon the bodies and clothing of workmen
occupied in rebuilding the temple of Jeru-
salem. At the end of the Sixteenth century
a similar thing occurred at Wells cathe-
dral. Cassaubon, who derived his infor-
nation from DIR. Still, the bishop, says that
during divine service in the cathedral two
or three claps of thunder were heard,
which frightened the worshippers so much
that they all threw themselves on the
ground. Lightning flashed without hurt
ing any one present, but it was afterward
found that crosses had been imprinted
upon the bodies of all who were in the
church.-Chambers Journal.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to.its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

Killing at Malakof.

At Malakoff, Texas, small station
below Tyler, last night, in a personal
encounter between the parties, Gaines
Carson shot and instantly killed B. E.
Larry. The entire responsibility for
the trouble appears to rest upon the
dead man, who, while in a fit of sense
less drunken rage, fired two shots at
Carson before the latter even had
chance to defend himself from the as
sault Owing to his intoxicated con-
dition both of Larry's shots missed
their mark. Carson then drew his
pistol and fired with the above fatal
result. An old grudge was at bottom
of the difficulty.
