A Pittsburg dispatch says the boom
in structural iron is so great the manu-
facturers are unable to supply the de-
mands. For two months the Carnegie
structural mills have been running to
the limit. The company put a time
limit on the delivery of contracts for
all kinds of material for structural
work. 1t was announced two weeks ago
that no orders for material to be de-
livered within sixty days would be ac-
copied. This week the limit has been
raised, and orders for delivery under
three months are refused. The same
conditions apply to other large struc-
tural mills. 1t is estimated that the
Carnegie Company has contracts on
hand at present aggregating almost
1,O00,000 tons of structural material.
The limit of production for the re-
mainder of the year will not go mach
beyond 100000 tons, and the contracts
on hand will run well into 1896.

BE of Good Cheer.

II was amid the storm and darkness,

rying Paul prisoner to Rome, that the
grand, heroic man babe all aboard to
be of good cheer. He gave a reason for
his quiet courage: There stood by me
this night an angel of God, whose / am
and whom also serve, saying, fear not,
Paul; thou must stand before Caesar.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer, for l

has been spoken unto me-" No matter
what may come to Gods witnesses they
need not fear. II is for them simply to
be faithful to their testimony. The bat
tie in us and around us, now as ever,
is between truth and falsehood, right
eousness and unrighteousness, Christ
and Satan. BY reason of our unbelief
and perverseness and selfishness, the

The International Cooperative Con-
gress at London was attended by dele
gates from Italy, from the peoples
banks of Belgium, the French Agri-
cultural Syndicates, from British Co.
operative Stores, and from similar and
other cooperative organizations in the
United States, Germany, Switzerland,
Denmark, the Netherlands, Austria
Hungary, Roumania, Russia, Servia
and Australia, the primary purpose be-
ing to ascertain how far the co-opera-
tive principle had been or was capable
of being applied to industrial enter
prise in their respective countries. The
discussion on the cooperative store
movement, particularly in the United
Kingdom, seemed to evoke great en-
thusiasm, most satisfactory results at
cooperation having apparently been
achieved in that direction. Less sue
cess had evidently resulted from efforts
at cooperative production, so far as
shown in papers read and addresses
made.

The Power of Music.

There is a wonderful power in certain
melodies. They speak to the heart and
therefore never lose their hold on pop
ular favor. So with many of these grand
old pieces of sacred music that have
come down to us from former genera
tions. They are hallowed by the asso-
Citations which are about them; they
have the memories of the past in our
own lives, and the experience of the
saints before us have been inwrought
into them, but they retain their hold
upon us, and they stir us as we use
them, chiefly because they are so adapt
ed to their purpose taat they speak d.
rectly to the heart.

Lie Low, but Yust Lie.

Protectionists invite and encourage
discussion of the tariff and OF our indus
trial interests in general. The more the
subject is examined, fairly and dispas-
sicnately, the greater is the gain for
the cause of home industry. On the
other hand, free-traders, tariff reform
ers, and the like, are engaged in a con-
spiracy of silence. The word seems to
have been passed along to the free-trade
press to lie low-to discourage discus
sion of the tariff-and to divert atten-
tion from it to the currency question
or any other subject except that one
which is the most important of all to
the American people.
But the free-trade tactics will not
avail. The great dominant question

Evils of Contentment.

Our wants increase as our means Of
supply enlarge. When our ancestors
we're but savages their desires extended
but little beyond enough meat to eat
and of skins to cover them. But as
their means enlarge the horizon of
their wants expands, and as their de-
sires for more and better increase, they
rise higher in the scale of civilization
and refinement, and we have no reason
as yet to anticipate a limit to this in
definite expansion of our necessities or
our attachments. To be sure, our de-
sires usually outrun our means, but this
is a necessary stimulant to our i'm
provement. Those contented with their
lot never attain to better" :. Edward
Everett Hale.

A young man shot young woman
because she would not love him any
more. 1t seems that some people will
never learn that what may appear very
romantic when enacted on the stage
with subdued lights, soft music and
blank cartridges is nothing more than
the silliest sort of foolishness in every
day life. If our young people would be
a little more careful about their diet
they would not be so liable to lose the
little brains with which they were en-

Seven Good Reasons.

1. Because the reconciliation of sill
YER would increase the amount of per
capita circulation, with the effect that
prices of commodities would rise 10
meet the new conditions. Labor would
then be in a position to exact higher
reward for its products. Interest would
decrease to point where money-lend-
ing, as a business, would become so un-
profitable that those engaged therein
would be compelled to render more
substantial equivalent to society for
their right to live by entering indus
trial pursuits.
2. Because primary money is a crea-
ion of government and has, to the or
mary man, little or no value until 1t
ears the stamp of government APP

old or silver in bullion form; but after

JOY I'm Worship.

The Hebrew worship, we are apt to
think. was awe-inspiring and therefore
gloomy; but it had, nevertheless. large
room for gladness. The magnificent
collection of Psalms which have come
down TO us give token that the element
OF Joy predominated in the worship of
their assemblies. To this day we can
find no better expression of exultant
emotion than these songs supply. We
do not think we are wrong in asserting
that the tone of public worship today is
quite below that of the Hebrews. and
certainly below that of the early Chris
tians in gladness. In our hymns and
liturgies we use their words; but it is
seldom that in the worship of modern
congregation one is conscious of the ex-
ultant note of JOY.

fake Your Portion.

When there is dust on the Bible,
there is generally sin in the heart.
The church that neglects the poor is
not loyal to Christ
Only God can tell how far the devil
has to fall back when a child is saved.
1t is bad day for a Christian when
he begins to think he has al the re-

Taking God at his word always gives

The man who has an appetite for

Bad men always hate the laws that
good men would enforce.
When men fulfill the law of Christ,
they do not need any other law to make
them do right.

Not Enough Gold.

The great and necessarily growing
strife among the gold standard coun-
tries to obtain and retain sufficient
amount of gold for actual needs, has
caused it to advance in value when
measured by any of the leading prod
ucts of human industry. 1t has stood at
par only when measured by itself.
AS gold advances in value, all those
commodities measured by it have an
appearance of declining, and until a
remedy is adopted to stop this increase
no permanent improvement in the
stability of prices can be depended
upon.
1t is unnatural and humlliating to

A Steadfast Faith.

A steadfast faith is necessary to
steadfast conduct. According to the
faith is the life. If that is uncertain and
unsettled, fixed at no point, the result
will be an unsteadiness in religious
duty and discordant tones in the spirit
ual life. A lack of purpose in the man
at the helm will make the course of the
ship at sea very erratic, and perhaps
result in its ultimate destruction. The
only safety for the soul, the only safety
for the church, is to be found in accept
ing the true doctrine of salvation and
continuing steadfast in it, as did the
New Testament Christians, doing the
work of the Lord, and perfecting the
religious character by acts or righteous
ness.

ChrIst's Second Coming.

In every age since the advent of
Christ, he has had numerous followers
who were expecting his instant coming
When his immediate disciples saw him
rise majestically in the clouds they
heard the assurance that in like man
uer he would appear again. This prom
Use they quite naturally applied 10
themselves, and in the apostolic age 1t
was the common belief that the Lord
would soon appear. But as time wore
on it became apparent that the purpose
of Christ's first coming was not to
bring the world from darkness to light
by a magic process, but 1t was TO re-
veal the Fathers love and so inaugu-
rate the dlspensation OF the Holy Spirit
under whose guidance and influence
human life would be transformed as
fast as 1t could be brought subject to
the gospels power. That Christ is sure
TO come is as certain as his sacred
promise is true, but we doubt the utility
or the propriety of laying extraordi-
nary emphasis upon this part OF our
Christian hope. The time and manner
OF his coming are matters which he has
preferred to leave us in ignorance, and
we can see no advantage in prying into
the counsels of heaven respecting the
divine intentions regarding this planet.

The Life OF Faith.

obedience; it is step within and step
higher toward the essential state. II
is characterized by the recognized pres
ence of the Lord in al that one thinks

therefore. is not so much q describe
certain acts either done or not done in
the outer life as to describe an interior
state which comes from the recognition
of the Lords presence. This is the life
