QUEER CONTRIBUTIONS BOXES.

FSA~i-ai WV Ittb u JoN QUA EIJ.
From the Golden Rule.
In our church, the other day, a
strange thing happened. The pastor
had preached a very eloquent mis-
sionary sermon, and the deacons
were starting out TO collect the usual
five cent ontrbutions,-for oui
folks believe in foreign missions fol
the six months before home mission
day, and in home missions for the
six months before foreign mission
day.
But all of sudden, before Deacon
Brown had had chance to stick his
box under the nose OF deaf old Squire
Skinflint, the walls of our church
seemed to dissolve like mist, and the
deacons themselves seemed to dis
solve with them. We saw on and
on and on, over miles and miles of
land and raging water, until it
seemed as if the air was one big tele-
scope.
And in flash we noticed-every
one in the church noticed-thaT
those contribution boxes had got
handles each thousand miles long
and no one knows how much more.
And at the end of each, and all the
way along, the strangest sort OF folks
were holding them.
The box on the east, that Deacon
Brown was passing, waits from
the New York slums had hold of
that, and priest cursed men of Spain
and Italy, and redcyed women of
Turkey and Armenia, and childlike
black folks from Africa, and ch, such
a vast crowd of needy aud suffering
human beings!
And the box on the west side, that
Deacon Jones was passing,-a set of
Indians had hold of that, and some
wide awake looking Japs, and a lot
of wretched Chinese, and, dear me,
such pitiful throng of Hindoo men
and women!
And those boxes began to move.
And as they moved, the people away
off that were holding them began to
change in some queer way, until II
seemed as if all the miserable mil
lions of this sad earth had held them
out to us.
We could not resist the appeal.
Hands went down into pockets that
never before had been there at this
time on Sunday. Dimes were
changed for dollars and dollars for
ten dollar bills. The boxes were
filed heaping up, running over, be-
fore they reached the last pew.
And then, as suddenly az the
vision had come, it went away, and
the two deacons marched up the
aisles to tho altar, half proud and
half scared, and looking timidly
around, as if they expected to be
arrested, having SO much money in
their hands. And-do you know?
i never in my life saw 4 happier
set Of people than our folks were
that Sunday.

OF MISSOURIANS.
w. B. ROGERS,

II. F.. Robinson in the Missouri Editor.
Among the older editors of the
northwestern portion of our great
commonwealth is Col. W. B. Rogers,
Of the Trenton Republican. had
almost said "well known" but the
unobtrusiveness and innate modesty
of the man have prevented that
being well-applied term, even
though his presence at our state
associations is rarely missed.
Mr.. Rogers has been "standiug up
for Missouri" for about forty years.
The best years of his life have been
devoted to the interests Of his town,
county and state. That he has at
the eame time acquired . modest
competency, is proof of his industry
and business tact, although his kind.
liness of disposition and disinclina-
tion to say "no" has stood in the
way of any rapid piling up of pelf.
One of the most noticeable features
of the subject Of this sketch is his
intense love of home. Family ties
bind him more closely than aught
else. Party claim and business de-
mand, unless exceedingly impera-
tive, must stand aside when his
household obligations seem to press.
And allied with his noble character
istic is his disposition to continuously
retain the employe who reciprocates
in any appreciable degree that obli-
cation which exists between the
employer and the employed, even
carrying this to such an extent as to
forgive, time and time again, the
transgression of those dependent
upon him. This same kindliness and
generosity is carried into all his
affairs, his readiness to lend help
ing hand in all directions being
proverbial.
Mr.. Rogers has never been an
Office. seeker, fact which rebounds
to his credit when we consider how
long he has breathed the Missouri
ozone, notoriously famous for induc-
ing that fever. That this is not from
lack of ability, is shown by his very
meritorious record as a state senator
from 1868 to 1872, when he was ever
found cautious but firm, and always
on the side of good government. 1t
is to be regretted that such as he are
not more often found in the ranks of
our legislators and other officials.
Finally, touching upon the higher
and ultimate motives Of our human
ity, he is morally and religiously an
example. He has always advocated
the principles of temperance, and
sought by proper ways to spread an
influence ever in the direction of its
practice. AS church member he is
not found occupying the high seats in
the synagogue, but is satisfied to pass
through this life with "patience and
abnegation Of self, and devotion to
Others"

with reading members, and are
worth having for their decorative
value as house furniture, if for moth
ing else, but to store many more
books than that in an ordinary house
involves a sacrifice of space for
which the modern householder is
apt to find other uses. And yet If
one does happen to have house
enough and money enough, a big
room with books all around it, from
ceiling to floor is delightful possess
sion.

NO PAIRING AND
TRIMMING OF THE BIBLE,

Faom book entitled "PIeasure and Profit in
Bible Study" by Dwight L. Moody, the
evangelist.
Did you ever notice that the things
that men cavil most about are the
very things to which Christ has set
His sealP Men say, "You don't
believe in the story OF Noah and the
flood, do your" We'll, II 1 give it
up, must give up the Gospel,
must give up the teachings OF Jesus
Christ. Christ believed in the story
Of Noah, and connected that with
His return to earth. Men say,
"You don't believe in the story of
Lots wife, do your" Christ be-
neved It. "Remember LOTS wife,"
Men say, "Well, you don't believe in
the story Of Jonah and the whale, do
your" want to tell you I do be-
lieve It. But these modern philoso-
piers have made discovery. They
say whales throat is no larger
than mans fist, and 1t is a physical
impossibility for whale to swallow
man. The book of Jonah says that
God prepared a great fish to swallow
Jonah. Couldn't God make a fish
large enough to swallow Jonah2 II
God could create a world, think he
could create fish large enough to
swallow q million men. As the old
woman said, "Could He not, If He
choose, prepare a man that could
swallow Q whale?"
There Is another class. It is quite
fashionable for people TO say, "Yes,
I believe the Bible, but not the
supernatural. believe everything
that corresponds with this reason
Of mine" They go on reading the
Bible with penknife, cutting out
this and that. Now, If have q
right to cut out certain portion of
the Bible, don't know why one Of
my friends has not right torcut out
another, and another friend to cut
out another part, and so on. You
would have queer kind OF Bible II
everybody cut out what he wanted
to. Every adulterer would cut out
everything about adultery ;every liar
would cut ont everything about
lying; every drunkard would cut out
what he didn't like.
1t is a most absurd statement for a
man to say he will have nothing to
do with the supernatural, will not
believe the supernatural. II you
are going to throw off the super
natural, you might as well burn your
Bibles at once. You take the super
natural out Of the Book, and you
have taken Jesus Christ out of 1t,
you have taken out the best part of
the Book. There Is no part Of the
Bible that does not teach super
natural things.
When Paul wrote to Timothy that
all Scripture was given by inspira-
ton OF God and was profitable, he
meant what he said. "Well," some
say, "do you believe all Scripture is
given by inspirationP" Yes, every
word Of It; but I don't believe all
the actions and incidents 1t tells of
were inspired. For instance, when
the devil told lie he was not
inspired to tell lie, and when .
wicked man like Ahab said anything
he was not inspired; bat some one
was inspired to write II, and 80 all
was given by inspiration and is
profitable.

A TRIP TO THE COAST.
a Party of Brownsvillians
Enjoy an Outing.

Special Correspondent of TIE HERALD
After leaving the city and APP
preaching the coast the change
of atmosphere becomes appa
rent, its invigorating influence
permeating the system to such
an extent that one feels reiuvin-
ated, and wishes that more
time could be spent away from
the sultry city in pleasant re-
creation.
On arrival at the Point an
excellent breakfast at Florenti-
nos, served in good style, was
placed before the guests, who
with ravenous appetites made
havoc on the tempting repast.
The menu consisted of oysters
in every style, crabs stewed
and stuffed, and a baked red
fish, the whole topped off with
claret of the celebrated "Vin
+Ordinaire" brand, after which
cigars, and the great blessing
of queit siesta terminated the
mornings enjoyment. In the
evening trip to Padre Island
was proposed and the Teresa"
Capt Pasquel's family packet
was secured. The breeze was
sufficiently strong to make good
Roadway, and the route chosen
gave the passengers an excel
lent opportunity of viewing the
life saving station, Yturia's
residence, and a glimpse of high
life in the light house quarters
of Capt. Geo Stowe.
On the point of Padre Island
the quarantine building. with
its white tents studding the
grounds, makes a pleasant
picture. A landing was made
some distance to the right and
a pedestrian tour on the hard
beach INDUCED in.
