Worth Pondering on Religious

The old man went to meetn', for the day
was bright and fair,
Tho his step was slow and totterin' and
twas hard TO travel there;
But he hungered TOR the gospel, so he
trudged the weary way
On the road so rough ana dusty, meath
the suns hot burning ray.
By-and-by he reached the building, to his
soul holy place;
Then he paused and wiped the sweat
drops from Off his wrinkied face
But ne looked around DeWlldered, Tor the
old bell did not toll,
And the doors were smut ana bolted, ana
he did not see soul.
So he leaned upon his pilgrim staff, and
said, 'Wnar does il mean"
And he looked this ana tnat way, TILL
it seemed TO hIm dream.
He had walked the dusty highway (and
he Dreamed a heavy signl
Just to go once more 10 meeCln ere the
summons came TO die.
Soon he saw little notice, tackled on
the WESTINGHOUSE door,
So he nmpeu along to read 1t, ana ne
read 1t Ger and Ger;
Then he wiped ms dusty glasses and
reau it er again,
Till nlS lips Dc gan TO tremble, ana MS
eyes were fun of pain.
AS the old man read the notice, how it
made his spirit burn.
Pastor absent on Yacauon-church Is

Then ne staggered slowly backward, and

For MS soul was stirred W1thn MN, I'LL

..Dld St. Paul sit such notion? Did a

Why, surely then, if thus they did, Satan

Leaving saints and dying sinners to get

Unexpected Means.

Notice that men are aroused by the
most unexpected means. If Jonah had
been told one year before that d heather
sea captain would ever awaken him to a
sense of danger would have scoffcd at
the idea; but here it is done. So now,
men in strangest ways are aroused from
spiritual stupor. A profane man is
brought to conviction by the shocking
blasphemy of a comrade. y man attend
ing church, and hearing q sermon from
the text, The Ok knoweth it's owner, etc,
goes home unhnpressed; but, crossing his
barn yard an OK comes UP and ticks his
hand, and he says: There it is now

by strangest way and in the most I'M
expected manner men are awakened. The

Nearer the OririnnI Mnr.

eve like the school idea of religious in
struction, so much in favor now, not be-
cause it pleases ourselves. but because it
comes nearer the original way in which
Christ and his disciples impaired instruc-
ton. Evidently there was more familiar
ity of discourse than the modern pulpit
permits. The service was with them
more of q general talk, with few or none
of the public prayers or songs common
now Standardized i'll. There does not APP
pear TO be a single instance where in
struction opened with psalm OF a
prayer even by Christ himself or by Paul
and the rest. Yet it is plainly minated
that there were both prayers and songs
on occasion, and that the people could
ask questions and talk back with free
dom. just as is done at u school or at a
political meeting. This gave 4 good op-
portunity to present difficulties and an
swer objections, but this liberty must not
be allowed to run into disorderly disputa-
tons or it would end in a row. as did
some of their meetings. '-Christiaa In

A Christian.

There is a difference and a wide one.
between practicing moral duties and being
a Christian Christianity is religion of
motives. 1t substitutes an eternal motive
for an earthly one; it substitutes the love
of God for the love OF self. There may
be, and are, many persons who practice
temperance and other virtues which
Christianity incu!cates but who never
think of doing SO because they are incul-
Gated. 1t would be as absurd to ascribe a
cause they employ the lever. or of the
principles of astronomy to brutes, because
in walking. they preserve the center of
gravity, as it is TO call such persons
Christians. A Christian is one whose mo-
tives are Christian faith and Christian
hope, and who is, moreover, able to give
a reason for the hope that is III him.

VACATION Times.

Perhaps there is no better test Of Senu-
ineness of Christian character than comes
right at this point. Vacation times are
apt to furnish unusual opportunities for
the exercise of such graces as patience,
gentleness and unselfshness. There are

The work of Missions.

There are now over 1000 Christian mis-
sionaries latoring for the cause of Christ.
The annual missionary income is over

Fifty years after the gospel was first

Christianized, and this at less the cost of

In Japan there was only one Christian
editice twenty-seven years ago; today
there are ninety-two. During the nineteen
years of missionary labor in Central At

died in the field. But it is prophesied that

While the facts have been carefully
concealed from the public, it is gath
cred that the American Natural Gas
company is so encouraged over the out
look at the present time it has deter
mined to put down another we'll and
work was accordingly began yester-
day.
At the offices of the company it was
announced that there was nothing new
in the matter of wells, Mr.. Hall de-
claring he knew nothing which would
interest the public The president,
however, drew his own conclusions in
this matter, and the public will appre-
ciate the announcement that work has
been begun on what all interested hope
will prove to be another gusher.
1t appears that the company have
good reasons for believing that natu-
raj gas will be in demand this COM
ing winter Even now when the
weather is so warm the consumption
in the city per day, as shown by the
meters, is 100000 feet.
This, of course, must nearly all be
utilized for heating purposes. There
may be some portions used in cooking,
but the greater amount is consumed
in light. The officials anticipate that
when the gas becomes recognized as a
fuel, that the consumption will be
much greater than now. figures being
placed at ten times the number of feet
burned at present.
This would make a total of nearly
two and one-half million feet in the
city per day, and to supply this with
out any danger of failure. the Off
Gals think they had best have more
wells. At this time the capacity IS
ample for even this amount, but in
order to guard against danger, it is
thought hest to increase the supply.

Faith stands for the religion of the
heart; works stand for the religion of
the life. These two God has Joined to-
gether. Let no man put them asunder;
for there is no genuine religion without
them in active union. Just as love in the
soul finds a way to manifest itself so as
to attract the attention, please and bene-
fit the one loved, so genuine faith in the
Lord Jesus moves its possessor to earn

Christian usefulness. Where there is no
such action there is no genuine faith -
