the Intelligent and educated young people
away from the Bible and from the salvation
therein revealed. Infdelity cares little for
gray hairs and old age; it is after the balmy
young people of the nineteenth century.
Let the church of Christ and all societies in
harmony with the church of Christ give I'M
ceasing attention to the shepherding of the
lambs and to the spiritual care of the young
people.
Work is the law of success. This is true in
all departments of lfe-in professional and
commercial life. Take the eminently sue
cessful men,, and in every instance work
has been the royal road to success Great
lawyers are great workers; great doctors
are great workers; great merchants are
great workers. Christian work is the law
of spiritual life, and it is the law of spiritual
prosperity. Christian work is the law of
Christian character, and Christian work
shall be the test of the judgment day. Ex-
cuses are made by men who are members of
the church, and who doubtless ARE Chris
t1ans-cannot spare time to engage in Chris
tian work is very familiar kind of excuse.
No Christian man has any right to be so
busy as to be unable to work for God and
his fellows. There is rule of proportion
to be observed-time for business and also
time for Christ. There is work to be done
in our families. How shall we stand in the
presence of God with that neglected?
There is work to be done in our places of
business, if employers or employed. There
is work to do be done in our circle of infiu-
euce in the community. There is work at
hand and all around. Lift up your eyes-lift
up your eyes from the counter, from the
desk, from the bench. Lift up your eyes
and look on the fields, on the family field,
on the Sunday-school field, on the temper
ance field, on the home mission rescue field
and on..the foreign missionary field, for they
are white unto harvest. ''Say not there are
four months and then cometh harvest
The devil is as well pleased with four
months potsponement of work as with four
years postponement. as long as Christian
work is postponed.

racer he had few equals. One notice
able feature about all his races was the
tact that he used his brain all the time
taking advantage of every fine point OF
the game and fooling his opponents
whenever possible. He was game" to
the core. This was shown in one oi
his races when man in front of him
fell. Dohm stumbled over the man

fell unconscious. lie had injured him

Even False syntax May BE Reson
An Abortivc Boston Atteu

The telegraph operators were fcfrifTes
stories again last night, says the B1f1
falo Express. The tall man, who has
held key all over the country, had the
floor.
"You see good many jokes in the
papers, said he. "about the culture Of
Boston and the habit people living there
have of using big words and correct
grammar and all that. Most of yoa
think that these jokes have no founda-
ton in fact Now, know better. |
was receiving clerk in the WesteSvr
Union Office there good many years
ago, and some of the messages handed
in To me were corkers. One summer I
had the cable window. One day two
women dressed in black and greatly
agitated came In and inquired the rate
per word to London. l told them il
was 2S cents. They consulted for a
minute and then one of them asked for
a blank. told them where the blanks
were. and one of them wrote message}
The other took il and read II, two q
three times. Then she came over ts
the window and asked again how 1uucH
il was word TO London. Twenty
eight cents. told her She looked at
the message dubiously. The other
woman came up to her and said: Don't
you like itp
"'No, she said, Il don't like ii. That
form is improper. You say that Charles
suicided this morning. when it should
be said TINT Charles committed suicide
this morning.
"'But, said the other, If we put it in
that way we will save % ce~ts.'
The woman who objected turned
this proposition over in her mind for
long time. Finally she said: Il don't
think that such syntax is excusable.'
"The other took the blank and read
the message few dozen times. We're
poor, she said decisively after studying
1t in all It's phases, and we can't save rs
cents any easier
This partially convinced the woman
who objected. But what will our
friends thinkP' she asked obviously.
~ suppose they will notice it, but we
can't help that Then the two women
retired to one corner of the room and
had consultation. After talking earn
estly for ten minutes they wrote ont an
other message. So help me, elis is the
way got IL: 'ChaAes sucided this
morning. False syntax used because i.

"And they paid me 28 cents word
for it. All of which," continued the
tall operator, illustrates one of the
curious ways in which woman's mind
works"
