Epworth League Honser.

The idea of cultured young people
going to live in the slums of the great
cities and by pure lives in the midst of
vicious surroundings try to win the sin
full to Christ is bearing fruit not only in
London, but in Boston, New York, Chi
cago and our other western cities. The
Epworth League house of the University
settlement, Boston. is doing noble
work. DR.. G. W. Gray, with the
Leaguers of Chicago. is having splendid
success in the same line. Souls are con
verified, the hungry are fed, the destitute
are clothed, the homeless are lodged,
the friendless find true hearts and open
hands This is practical Christianity.
The Epworth Leaguers support the work
and find it more blessed to give than to

Breadth of Purpose.

One of the most fatal criticisms pos
sible of any religious movement, if we'll
founded, is that of narrowness and big
otry. Breadth and depth are essential
to success in Christianity. One of the
most hopeful signs in the young peo-
pies movement in all the churches is
proper recognition of this fact. Social
life is duly provided for away from the
allurements and entanglements of
worldly amusements and associations
Intellectual needs are recognized, and a
new literature is being created to meet
the demand History, biography, trav-
els, theology, fiction. art and science
are resuryeyed, and the old truths re-
told in new form, and new discoveries
announced, so that by tracts, periodicals
and books ample provision is made to
cultivate intelligence and thorough
knowledge. Interest in the more careful
study of the Bible, the history Of the
church and the doctrinal peeuliarities Of
the various denominations is manifest
in many directions

Topic. The Peace Ofering.

BIBLE READINGs.-Lev. iii. To- Pet. ii. "a
The directions given for the various
sacrifices in the tabernacle and temple
worship were very minute. The cere-
monlal must have been deeply impress
i've Probably no ritual in any other
earthly sanctuary was ever so full of
meaning, nc rites so solemn, no vest
ments and utensils more costly than
those used in the temple at Jerusalem.
The offerings prescribed il Leviticus.
Numbers and Deuteronomy, though
seemingly of many kinds, are really
comprised in four general classes. They
were peace, meat, burnt and sin offer
ings. Peace offerings. free will, thank
offerings ana common conscientious have

beast presented, the blood is all to be
poured by priest at the foot Of the altar
of burnt offerings. All the fat is to be
burned by the priest on fhe altar. with
salt. The breast and right shoulder after
being waved. or lifted up become the
priests portion The remainder of the
animal is to be eaten by the one making
the offering and his friends.
All this signifies participation with
the Divine Provider in his bounty
A second class of sacrifices somewhat
similar III nature but differing in the
articles presented, was the meat offer

speech, the meal offerings These con-
sisted of flour Of various kinds, with oil,
sometimes made into cakes and some
times uncooked. Salt and frankincense
were also to be offered with these, but
never any leaven nor honey. Part of the
giftwas burned on the altar; the re-
mainder was for the use of the priests.

The burnt offering was TO be wholly

The value of Missions.

1t is popular in some circles to decry
missions as valueless. The educated ma
tives of heather lands are especially
given to this view. This makes the tes-
timony of the editor of large daily pa
per in Japan of particular Importance.
He says: Christian missionaries have
now been working here full genera
ton. There are hundreds of men and
women who have brought $500, 900 an
nually here to establish Christian schools
and churches, and how much have they
accomplished? Really, when we see that
they have gained only few tens of
thousands of converts, we can only be
sorry for them and must call their work
failure. And yet look all over Japan.
Our 40, 600, 600 today have higher
standard of morality than we have ever
known. There is not boy or girl
throughout the empire that has not
heard of the one man, one woman doc
trine Our ideas of loyalty and obedi-
ence are higher than ever. And when
we inquire the cause of this great moral
advance we can find it III nothing else
than the religion of Jesus Christ

HARD ROAD IN SAND.

New Jerseys Road Commissioner Tells
How to Build One.
How can hard road be made from one that
is all sand, when there is but very little loan
to be had?
No mention is made of any kind of
material whatever, as being available.
1t is, therefore, inferred that perma-
nent roadbed is desired, for which
purpose | would recommend a mac
adam roadbed, ten or twelve feet wide
and six, eight or ten inches thick, ac-
cording to the probable traffic over the
road. A sandy bottom makes the best
foundation for telford or macadam
road Wet sand becomes hard, an il
lustration of which is to be seen upon
the seashore. Wet clay becomes a
sticky mass and will ooze up between
stone or brick. Hence, for sandy
road, grade and prepare the roadbed.
After the proper excavation is made
for the stone construction, should the
bed be mass of loose sand for several
inches, a plank should be set on edge
on each side of the space excavated.
If water be handy, sprinkle the bottom
and, if possible, roll it, then apply the
across the roadbed from plank to
plank. Thoroughly roll, then put
on the finishing courses and con-
tinue the rolling until the road
is compact and solid. A little
clay or loan or slight coating of
stone dust as binder on the bottom
course, might be used to advantage be-
fore applying the second course. Hav-
ing thoroughly rolled the completed
stone work, remove the plank and fill
in the space with three or four-inch
stone and ram or roll them solid Bank
up the sides with earth, using loan or
clay. If this is not available, after
sloping the sides to conform to the
arch of the stone work, clean out the
bitches on each side, spread the turf,
grass and mud on top of the sand bank
ing the stone, and roll it firm. If there
is not sufficient of this material to
make the basis for sward, sow rye
or crimson clover, and such grass seed
as may be best suited to the locality and
encourage growth that will prevent
washing, and also make foundation
for the support of vehicles when pass
ing each other, as well as make firm
shoulder to hold the stone roadbed in
position. A road of this character, If
not over ninety miles from the quar-
ries, should be built six inches deep
(which viii answer on many cross
county roads, for about forty-fve cents
per square yard. OF course, this de-

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

Gen. Stone Talks of the Interest shown
in the Various States.
Official reports to the bureau Of roads
inquiry at Washington show that in
creased interest is taken in the good
roads movement, and that a large pro-
portion of the railroad companies have
agreed to further the idea by Offering
very low rates whenever any general
movement is started. Gen. Roy Stone,
in charge of the bureau, who has
been spending some weeks attending
road conventions in the west as the
representative of the agricultural de-
partment, has returned to Washington.
In reviewing the progress of the move
ment Gen. Stone said:
'In Indiana and Missouri great in
terest is being taken in the movement.
In Nebraska there is not much need
for general road improvements, except
in the river counties. Owing to the
naturally good roads, helped lately by
the very dry weather, Kansas is inter-
ested in the question and anxious to
make the improvements, and the legis-
lature viii undoubtedly take up the
matter and make decided changes in

This is question which most men
are apt to Miak, even if they do not
ash it.
In working for improved roads we
need use no argument other than that it
is directly profta6le to have them Senti-
ment is all right in its place, but the
building of roads is strictly business
and need be considered in no other
