What Christ Taught.

Before Christ came men did not know
God. They did not understand his ia
thorhood and affection. They had all
along supposed that whoever would en-
JOY Gods favor must purchase it in
some way, and SO before the coming of
Christ men crouchcd and trembled be-
fore God MS though no We're an al
mighty tyrant and they worshiped be-
fore him with sacrifices of slavish fear.
But the coming of Christ brought a
new element into human faith, He
taught not the jew alone, but he taught
all men everywhere that God loves
them; that he loves them as sinners;
that he loves them with love that is
more devoted and tender than any
mother bears her child; that he is not
only ready to forgive them all that is
past of transgrossion and sin, but to
make them heirs of glorious and eter-
nal inheritance; that all God asks of
man is love. Christian Advocate.

The Odd and Eternal Little Functions That
Are Held In Pearl Street.
There is an everlasting tea party in
function on Pearl street, near Hanover
square An aroma of freshly stepped
leaves fills the air all tho week, and fol-
lowing your nose to tho cause you will
find it pointing down to little gloomy
Easements where teacups are perpetual
ly spread. They are all plain white
cups, and there is no display of table
cloth or dainty calses-just plain tea
And tho methods of tho tea parties that
foregather there arc just as plain and
unceremonious.
They generally consist Of old gentle
men Of severely respectable appearance,
and when these old parties feel like it
they go down tho basement steps and
take pinch of tea out of caddy or
suacer, Or whatever it may DO kept in,
and put it in the cup and pour little
hot water on it, but never any milk or
sugar. And then, despite their eminent
y respectable air, they dip their fingers
In the cups and stir tho tea leaves about
or maybe fish out a leaf and unroll it,
sometimes putting it in their mouths
and chewing it,
But, strangest thing Of all, they nov.
er drink their ten after all tho trouble
they havo taken with 1t. In fact, they
seem to tako strong dislike to tho in

Sometimes they sniff at it, and if ever
