Honoring Parents.

Gen. Washington, when quite young,
was about to go to sea as a midship-
man; everything was arranged, the YES
sci lay opposite his fathers house, the
little boat had come on shore to take
him off, and his whole heart was bc~+
"A going. After his trunk had be
carried down to the boat, he went to
bid his mother farewell, and saw the
tears in her eyes. However, he said
nothing to her; but he saw that she
would be distressed if he went and per-
haps never be happy again. He just
turned around to the servant, and said,
AGO and tell them to fetch my trunk
back. l will not 60 away to break my
mothers heart" His mother was
struck with his decision, and said to
him, "George, God has praised to bless
the children who honor their parents,
and l believe He will bless you"

A Story Of Two Words.

The Culver recounts an instance in
which just two words were the means
Of saving soul:
"Oh! if l were lucky enough to call
this estate mine I should be a happy
fellow" said a young man.
"And them" said a friend.
"Why, then I'd pull down the old
house and build a palace, have lots Of
prime fellows around me, keep the
best wines, and the finest horses and
dogs in the country"
"And then?'
"Then I'd hunt, and ride, and smoke,
and drink, and enjoy life ~gloriously."
"And then!"
"Why, then, 1 suppose, like other
people, l should grow old, and not care
so much for these things"
"And then?"
"Why, then, I suppose, in the course
of nature I should leave all these pleas
ant things-and-well, ~yes-die"
"And them"
"Oh, bother your 'thens!' I must be
off"
Many years after, the friend was ac-
costed with.
"God bless you! 1 owe my happi-
ness to you"
"How?"

long ago-'And then!'"

ern evangelism that some time ago a
regular organization of such churches
was perfected, and occasional meetings
are held to discuss ways and means Of
successful church work. The most re-
cent OF these meetings was held at
berkeley Temple, Boston, last week.
The central thought of this movement
is that the church belongs to the poor,
to the outcast-in a word, to the
masses, from whom it has for so long
been alienated, and that it should be
restored to them. The most prominent
pastors Of Institutional churches were
present, and they exchanged methods
and suggestions. Almost every phase
OF church work was presented and dis
cussed, and the belief was greatly

Instability in Religious Thought.

One of the decisions of the present
age is that instability in religious
thinking is a sign of strength. 1t is
true that strong men change, but, just
in proportion to their sincerity and
strength, the transition from the old
position to the new is a difficult and
anxious one He who has grasped the
meaning Of any creed or form of wor-
ship, and known how much Of the es-
sential truth it includes and illustrates
will find it hard to abandon it for an
other, which, although it may bring re.
lief from some difficulties, will surely
bring others in its train. It is the
shallow man who goes light-heartedly
from creed to creed and church to
church.

factories were in full blast in this
country. A rural pastor, whose con
gregation had little literature outside
of the two sermons and the coun-
ty paper, and who, therefore, ran little
risk of being detected, could revel in
'boughten" m of a standard
above his own capacity. But in En-
gland they do not attempt to disguise
the fact that sermons are advertised
and bought. The dishonest habit pre-
walls to a large extent in the Estab-
lished Church. For example three diff
ferent clergymen on three successive
Sundays delivered the same discourse,
and to the same congregation. This is
only n out of many instances of the
same kind. The following advertise
ment appeared once in an English re-
ligious paper: "a clergyman of expe-
rience and moderate views, who dis
tinguished himself during his universe
ty course in divinity and English COM
position, will furnish original sermons
in strict accord with the Church of En-
gland, in a legible hand, at IS. Id.
each. Only n copy will be given in
any diocese. A specimen will be sent
if wished for. Sermons made to order,
on any required subject, on reasonable
terms. For further particulars apply"

Valuable Bibles,

Daniel X. Cassel, the Mennonite his
torian, whose home is in Nicetown, is
the possessor of a valuable collection
Of Bibles, some of which are very rare
and can scarcely be duplicated. Among
them is one that is said to have been
printed at Basic, Switzerland, in 1778,
and another in 1898, at the same place.
A valuable old Bible to be found in
his library is one that is known as the
Martin Luther Bible. 1t is a copy Of
the fourth edition, and was printed at
Wittenburg in 1852. 1t contains marg-
inal explanations on the Biblical books
by S. d. Hutteri, and an introduction
by the Theological Faculty at Witten-
burg. The first edition of this work
was printed in 1916. Perhaps the rarest
volume in this collection is a copy of
the Polyglot Bible. 1t was printed at
Nuremburg, Germany, in 1909, by
Elias Hutteri. This Bible is peculiar
in that it is printed in twelve languages,
namely, Syrian, Italian, Hebrew, Span
ish, Greek, French, Latin, English,
German, Danish, Bohemian, and Polish.
It is said there is not another Bible of
this kind known to exist.

The MiddIe.Aged WOman.

The fascinating middle-aged woman
is not looking for flattery. Either she
has had enough of it, or she knows
that men bestow it easily on all women
alike, and she avoids it as something
ungenuine. This middle-aged woman's
unselfshness is, indeed, adorable"
and the observing young woman's
views is distorted when to her 1t ap-
pears "sad." The woman OF mature
years is good-natured because she dare
not be otherwise. She has learned q
lesson that all observing young women
would do well to learn, namely, that =
| gentle nature and sweet dispCqthpn
are not only among Eoman's mc1eapCs
tent charms, but that they keep the
possessor young and lovable long after
the years count up to that time cal
middle age.
