FOR ST. O

Continuation Of Meeting of 2ad July 1894
After a respite of 10 minutes the Council
proceeded to:
g. Question of furthering and eventually
putting an Interpolation to Government
from 1st Member for Christiansted
(Stakemann) regarding the extension
to the Danish West India Islands of the
provisions in Law of 25th March 1872
concerning mortgages.
The Chairman vacated his seated to the
Vice-Chairman.
The Council consented unanimously with
- votes that the Interpolation be forwarded,
and it reads as follows
INTERPRETATION
to the Government for the Danish West India
Islands.
Will the Government take the necessary
steps for extending 10 the West Indian
Islands the Law of 25th March 1879 regard
ing Insolvency and some changes in the
existing enactments relating to Mortgage and
levy, in so far as relates to the provisions of
the second part Of the said Law regarding
Mortgages and levy &c. &c?
The reason of the above Interpolation is
the much felt want, which exists in CONNER
cial business for a change III the e~nactments
existing here in regard to mortgages espe-
cially in respect to the right to mortgage
everything which one owns or may become
owner of as also to give mortgage in collec.

The Business Mans Lesson.

He was an upright business man.
In his heart he believed the religion OF
Christ to be true. But he was very
busy, and when Sunday came he was
thoroughly tired. He had become in
terested, too, in his Sunday paper, so
he gradually dropped off going to
church. His wife went regularly, and
sometimes the children. One morn
ing, just after his wife had set out, he
was comfortably seated reading the
money article, when he heard his boys
talking in the next room. Said eight
year-oId Willie:
"When you grow up, shall you 60 to
church as mother does, or stay at home
like father? ?"
II shall do neither" said the one,
decidedly. "When i'm man shall
have my horses, and be on the road
Sundays, and enjoy myself"
The newspaper suddenly lost its at
traction. Between the father and it
there came picture OF his boys asso-
eating with loose men, and drifting
into goddess, reckless life, and Of him
self looking on it in his old age % fruit
of his self-indulgence. Five minutes
after he was rapidly walking toward
the church. When the service was
over, his wife, coming down the aisle,
saw him waiting at the door. There
was questioning, glad surprise in her
eyes, but he only remarked thai he had
taken a walk, and thought he world
join her on her way home. Next sun
day, however, the whole family were
in their pew, and all the rest of the
day there was kind of peace about
the home that reminded him of his boy
hood happy days in his fathers home.
And who will say that he was the less
fitted for another week of business life
by his share in the services of Gods
house, instead of "staying at home all
Sunday to rest ?"-Sunday School
Times.

Girls who Would be Boys.

The few girls who wish they were
boys are about fourteen years old.
From babyhood they have enjoyed the
freedom Of boys in their play, and
still love their freedom. They have
climbed high trees, clambered over
great stone walls, vaulted fences, play
ed various kinds of ball, skated, roll
ed over with the dog on the grass,
played games in the summer evenings,
and tumbled into bed as tired and
thoughtless as boy.
But they have reached the mature
age of fourteen years, and now begins
what they call their slavery. Their
mothers insist on lengthening their
dresses little, and have new ideas
about arranging their hair, both of
which are hindrances to freedom OF
movement. They discover that there
is a precious thing that goes by the
name of complexion, of which they
had scarcely heard before, and they
find it perfect despot. Elder sisters
object to the vaulting of fences and
the climbing of tall trees, as no longer
proper, and maiden aunts are shocked
at the running of races on the side
walk.
Gradually the truth forces itself upon
the minds Of these girls that they can
not have the liberty that boys con
tinue to enjoy all their lives. They
still believe that they ought to enjoy
it, and will enjoy it in the future, but
at present they are obliged to conform
to the usages of their country, and
thew do not like it.
What would they have thought if
they had lived half a century ago.
when almost every innocent exercise
of girls was looked upon with dlsap-
proval, and girls were in reality
''slaves" to an erroneous idea of deco
rum Many of them, as contempo-
rary remarked the other day, were
carefully bred as if for residence in a
consumptives' home"
A girl who in summer swims, plays
tennis, rides, rows, sails, and in winter
does a fair share of household labor,
and takes her daily outdoor walk for
exercise, need not suffer for want of
freedom. Nevertheless, there will
always be girls who wish they were
boys, and they will generally be about
fourteen years old.

Gods Guidance.

There is nothing more plainly re-
vealed than that our Heavenly Father
orders "the steps of coed man." If
this fact were communicated to US in
the original way-that is, by mirac-
ulous voices. as In olden time-the in
formation could not come with more
directness and power than we now
have it from day to day. Surely. every
one who lives wholly to please God
has right to claim His protection,
His direction and His help, not every
hour only, but every moment OF His
life. He may not-indeed, cannot
be-always thinking of this great ia
vor. Life has its imperative and ab-
sorbing duties. His energies are often
taxed to their utmost in the struggle.
1t is more than a mere sentiment TO
live. 1t is serious reality, in which
the hand, the head and the heart are
all enlisted. The only way, therefore,
for the Christian is to Commit" him
self habitually, sincerely, unhesitatin-
gly and with godly trust into the
hands of Him who has warranted US
in believing that all things have work.

coming days, for our good.-The

The difference between reading the
Bible devotionally and reading il
critically is the difference between
corn and husks.
"He that humbleth himself shall be
eXaltedn is not the same as saying that
a man must get low downif be expects
to get high up in the world.
One reason why so few sinners are
saved Is because so many churches
give the invitation to come with the
ill.concealed hope that only respect
able ones will accept.
The reason some men of strength
never accomplish anything in life is
because they spread themselves over
too large an area. Distribute a hun
dred pounds Of steam over an acre,
and it will not have force enough to
stir feather.
The dark things of life bring US
more light than the bright things
A ton of common coal cheers more
hearts than the rarest diamond.

He came from the country seven
years ago, and is now a well-to 90
merchant. Last week he wrote to the
old folks, telling them he had married
a lady with very fine voice-a
'.mezzo.soprano Of very extraordi-
nary compass" He received an ans
wer from the maternal side of the
house, informing him that his lament
ed aunt was afflicted with something
of that sort during her life, but had

A triumphant gospel, such as is now
preached and practiced in Christen-

such gospel as Christ and his apostles
preached and practiced would speedily
abolish war.-Baron Stone.
Read the Bible when you are fresh
and wide awake; when the brain is
clear, and you are not pressed for time.
Read it as the only book on earth
that has dropped down from heaven as
your dictionary for life and your guide
to Immortality, and it will become a
new book to you altogether.
The young man, Elihu, said, years
ago, "When be giveth quietness, who
then can make trouble? and when he
hideth his face, who then can behold
him. Whether it be done against a
nation or against u man only. ."-Job,
34:29.
1t seems strange to us that the disci-

that Jesus is with ns.

He who seeks only to please him
self is engaged in a hopeless task. He
will never succeed. The more he tries
from being pleased. See child that
ia humored in everything and you gen.
orally see one that is out of humor
with almost everything. He has
everything his own way and yet has
nothing his own way. The more he
is petted and humored the less is he
satisfied and contented. Now this is
human nature in grown man as well
as in child. And the more this dis
position is fostered the more exacting
and tyrannical it becomes. A man
NAV be, many a one is. a slave to him
self and it is hard master that he
serves. No one is truly free until he
has obstained freedom from self.

The Supreme Court of the State OF

the Dispensary Act. 1t Is now de-
clared constitutional. AS such it will

laws are properly executed, and 1t is
the duty of the people to submit to
the powers that be, to obey the laws,
to stand for law and order, and in the
name of peace and good will try to
prevent violations of the law. 1t may
be, in the opinion of some people, an

law it may come in conflict with the
tastes and prejudices of some people
but let all scuh remember that it Is
now law, it Is declared by the highest
court in the State to be constitutional,
and as good, law-ubiding citizens, we
must see that the law is obeyed and
enforced. We hope that it will be en-.

of liquor will cease without the inter

if people will not obey the laws, il

There are good many church. mem
bers who seem TO take special delight
in going just az faras possible toward
evil without actually forfeiting their
eternal welfare. They surely have
forgotten that there are a good many
amusements and pleasures which de-
stroy growth and usefulness, but which
at the same time may not utterly wreck
faith and hope. One who is serving
God simply to be saved, may be par
doned for committing all the sins he
can up to the point of condemnation
but one who serves God from love, and
who is anxious to he fitted for the very
best service, will scrupulously abstain
from everything which impairs useful
ness. Possibly one may dance, play
cards and attend thestersand yet reach
heaven, though the outlook is not very
hopeful; but no one, can do these things
and succeed in preaching the Gospel
or teaching in the Sunday school. or

(Westerp Christian Advocate.)

Making difficulties out of Scripture
is very useless thing for practical
Christian to do-and there is no other
kind of Christian. He wants two
things-salvation and rule of conduct.
There are no mysteries or perplexities
about either in the Bible. And men
who are intent on being saved from
their sins, and knowing how to behave
themselves, never have any trouble
over the Scripture. They find there
plain ways of faith and duty, and fol-
lowing these high ways of the Lord
keeps them busy and happy. The
man full of doubts about the meaning
of this or that in the Book is man
evading by intellectual fencing the die.
tates of conscience and the teaching OF
a plain Gospel. Many a one has con.
fcssed it after surrender to duty. And
80 it is waste of time to follow doubt
er into his fence corners to argue him
ont of doubt better far to appeal to
his conscience about the plain duties Of
faith and obedience. Until that is
awakened, and hurts him and stings
his self-complacency out of him, he
will find pretexts in things too deep
for him for neglecting things which
are as clear as the sun at MONDAY.
