rather let us ask, To whom do l owe
this work
When the Christian people become
considerate of all these matters, and
display in all things a heavenly wis.
dom and goodness, the great unthink-
ing world will be brought to halt, and
admire Christ 10 His Giving epistles :"
It is easy enough to say, II wish you
WE'LL" but that is inexpensive charity.
James, in his epistle, tells US of the man
who says to the needy, "Go in peace !;
be warmed and filed" That is empt!-
ness Of heart beyond all utterance.
Let the great body Of believers open
their hearts to the world, and perchauce
the world will open its heart to the
Great King. At one Of the Salvation
Army shelters, a captain vas telling a
visitor his plans to lead men to Christ.
Said be, "Some Of my poor boys comes
to me 'alf starved, but 1 feeds 'em up,
We know. Then I gives 'em a good
wash, aud puts some stiff soup in 'em,
aud they goes out like new men. Then
[ talks to 'em about Jesus. But [ feeds
'em first, ye know" We must never
forget that Jesus minlstered to the
wants of the hungry Eve thousand, aud
saw that they bad bread, before He
attempted to give them the gospel.

A Forger and Defaulter.

The Columbia State, Of Feb. Is,
says: Last summer Mr.. j. L. Weber,
of Charleston, who had been living in
that city for many years, engaged In
literary work. was elected to chair in
Trinity College. North Carolina He
resigned his Office as school commission
er of Charleston county, and his other
position in the literary world, and left
Charleston standing high in the esti-
nation of all the people of that city.
He was known to the world as high
toned, honorable and highly cultivated
man. He was we'll knowo throughout
South Carolina and every one was sorry
to see him leave, though all were glad
to know of his rise in life.
It did cot take long, however, for
the terrible blow which, like the sword
of Damocles, hung over the young
mans head. to fall: About two months
ago it came with crushing force, when
it became known to the State authori-
ties that something was wrong in the
Office which Mr.. Weber had vacated.
An investigation was started and soon
the worst was ascertained. The facts
have been known to the representatives
of The State for weeks, but they have
been waiting official action before
giving them to the public. About
week ago Mr.. Weber returned to the
State and went to Charleston upon the
advice of his friends Yesterday
Superintendent Of Education, May field,
who has been Investigating the matter,
returned to the city aud submitted to
Governor Tillman report, which the
Governor gave to the press for publica-
ton. 1t tells the story of Mr..
Weber's downfall 10 detail. Sub
stantially it shows that Weber is

With all the woes Of this day, we
must Aatter ourselves that We have

pie were now. even for a season. to be
subjected to these privatioDs, the whole
United States army could not suppress
the riots that would spring up.
III. What. then, is cause of the
gransbliag and dtscontent2
]. The answer is simple. The
people know more, and hence they want
more. Education is going on every
where by reading and by travel. The
printing presses are making books aud
papers daily BY the million "Forty
years ago." says Dr. Strong. "tbe
English postof6ce carried 56,000,000
papers annually, while COW it carries
$50. 0.0o0.0 600" In 1850, there were
issued in our country 235, 900, 900
papers, or ten to each inhabitant in
1890, there were issued l, 981. 900, 600.
or thirty-two to every one of our popu-
lation- There was never before an age
of which it could be said, 1.-The laborer
mas learned to read" Added to this,
is the education resulting from travel,
and these two advantages combined
have put the masses on vantage ground
never before occupied. And knowledge
not only multiplies our pleasures. but it
also increases our wants, and hence
men cannot and will not be satisfied
with the very conditions under which
the fathers rejoiced hundred years
ago.
2. Why do the people grumble ?
has also another answer which concerns
the employer.
a. Some laborers 6nd it hard to

accept it, our skirts are clear.
Still, if there are multitudes among
laboriog classes who are non attendants
upon our services, the church people
mnst not altogether excuse themselves,
and lay the blame upon some one else.
am inclined to believe there are two
obstacles in the way The first is that
there is no proper sort Of inter
communion between the church people
and the laboring classes, except on the
part Of few who are more kindly and
generous of heart, or by others in
purely business way. The really help
fol churchmember-helpfal to all about
him and to ell classes-is net found
every day To be thus helpful costs
something something Of time, care
and money, and there are many
who would be good Samaritans if they
could dispense with the oil, the vine
and : the money. Gods people, as
rule, do not seem to be willing to Gil
the place OF messengers OF mercy.
The Old Testament tells us how the
angels were his ministers, and because
the New Testament quotes the fact.
men seem anxious to believe that
the angels are still used in the same
way. and God has no use for others
than angels This is all 6gment of
fancy. Gcd desires his people to do
His service, and the great gaps be-
tween those in the church and those
outside will never be filled until
Christians realize the weighty truth
The good old Scotch sailor told the
truth when he said, young man, if
ye would bring man to the Lord, ye
must first bring him to yourself"
The next trouble, as | have intI-
mated, is found among the laboring
classes themselves. They easily take
up the notion tha. they are not wanted
