Three Good Rules.

First. do thing you know
to be wrong. AS surely as you do you
will get into trouble. However attract
i've the path may be, it ends in pit.
A wrong once done can never be I'M
done. Even if repented and forsaken
its evil influence can never be wholly
counteracted. You can never be the
same person again. If you are IN doubt
if a thing is wrong, don't do it till you
are sure it is right.
Second. When you undertake right
thing that ought to be done. go through
with it. There always comes a point
when success is almost reached that one
is tempted to relax effort, time when
one doubts if the prize is worth the ex-
ertion. Beware of yielding then. You
are not in condition to debate the ques-
ton at that time. 1t is WEAKNESS makes
Won hesitate and not good judgment.
Push ahead If you were sure that you
were right in beginning you Will be
glad YOU persevered to the end
Third. Waste nothing. Don't fritte1
away time, strength or money. Use all
| for the best advantage and you will find
yourself gaining in the race even II al
| first the progress seems to be slow. Ben
| Franklin used to say, Take care OF the
| dimes. and the dollars will take care OF
| themselves. 4" If you have little, ther
all the more reason why you should
make good use Of it. You can { afford t'
| waste anything

The Inspired Camp Cook.

Outing tells about camp cookery, IN
Guiding the cook. The genuine camp
cook is an artist in his way. The musl-
clan makes men hear things enhancing,
and the painter brings tears to the eyes
if inspired. The camp cook genius, by
the very way in which he does his work,
makes men hungry.
"The camp cook" says the writer.
"should take pride in the artistic ham
ding of his utensils, particularly in the
ability to keep lalf dozen things going
at once. He must keep already cooked
things hot, and cook the uncooked things
meantime. To do this he has got to I'M
derstand the kinds of fire to have,
whether large or small blaze, hot ashes
or redhot embers. He should also know
how to get the most work at the least
expenditure of labor from his comrades.
Something many cooks are lacking in
Is the way to keep camp dishes clean FOL
cooking. An unwashed apple saucepan
will serve to fry trout in and give then
a pleasant taste, but an unwashed hsf
snider will scarcely serve to cook apple
sauce in. In other words, the cook shoult
know when and what to wash. p"

The Best Part.

In every church, in most homes, there
are some persons who are called emf
nently practical. They are always en-
gagged in caring for the material welfare
of the company. They have special gifts
for getting up suppers, excursions, PIC
MICS, festivals They can make money
for the church and good time for the
company. They are reputed as social
leaders. OF course they cannot be good
at all things. If urged to attend the
PRAYER and class meetings they are too
tired or busy or have no talent for that
part. And, then, they do their share OF
work in other ways. Busy Martins
They certainly deserve the thanks OF the
| church.
But is it not quite probable that the
| church would be better if they would
| for n little cease the hustle and fuss and
| faultfinding? The most charming hostess
| is not always the best cook; is never the
| one who exhausts herself with table
preparations, but rather the one who
quietly and simply provides the needful
| food and comforts for the physical needs
of her guests and makes herself as friend
and companion the Genital attraction OF
her home Then her visitors forget tho
luxury or poverty of the house and It's
furnishings, and remember chiefly the
delightful presence and personality o.
the womanly one.

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Lesson For the Week beginning Aug. o.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, A.
N.-Topic, Christ's Reproof To
Troubled Martha.
SCRIPTURE RnADrNo.-Luke K. $50,

SCRIPTURE READING.-Luke X, 3S-42.
The Bethany home was favorite rest
ing place of Jesus i'll His Jerusalem
visits. Though Lazarus is not mentioned
by Luke, this is probably the home OF
the three so noted in Scripture history
Martha, as the elder or perhaps owner,
seems to be the head Of the household.
A busy, caretaking hostess, looking dill
igently to the comfort of her guests, she
is eminently practical. Mary appears to
possess more of a reflective and contem-
plative mind. An absorption IN spiritual
things makes her more truly appreciate
the feelings of Jesus and more deeply
penetrate the hidden meaning OF His
words than even His apostles. This is
shown in a memorable manner, when
she, at the banquet in honor of Lazarus
resurrection, breaks the alabastron upon
| Jesus feet.
Martha is distracted by the cares OF
| providing for the entertainment of her
| guests and disturbed at Mary's appar-
| ent lack of concern. Possibly she may
have thought that Mary had also shown
| too much of boldness and lack OF WON
anly modesty in so freely mingling with
the male guests and placing herself sc
close beside the feet Of the Master. Hei
invitation is open and manifest in tone
and word.
Tenderly, but firmly, Jesus rebukes
her for her overexertion and fussiness
about physical needs and lack of care
for the deeper spiritual concerns. He
exonerates Mary and declares her course
the wiser.
| The point of this incident is not tC
be found in setting carefulness in home
duties over against neglect of family
responsibilities for so called spiritua
exercises and elevating the latter at tn
expense of the former. 1t is rather tn
recollection that all physical comfort
are only that the body may be able Z
do the work of the Spirit, and the high
er needs of the soul must never be neg
lected for superhuous luxuries and mer
physical enjoyment.

Mr.. Thomas l.. Chadbourne read paper

all declared il was the most lucid state
ment they had ever met with oil the

one OF our dearest thinkers, and certain

1t Involves a Plunge Into Matrimony or
Heavy Forfeit.

U ~
Heavy Forfeit.
In some parts of Russia queer game
is still played mt Christmas time which
has much to do with the future life OF
the participants. Some prominent per-
son in the village announces that the
annual merrymaking will be held at his
house. On the appointed day the young
men and women hasten to his house.
There are songs and games and dances,
but they are simply prelude to the
more important business OF the day.
When the time comes, the hostess leads
all the girls into one room, where they
seat themselves on the benches. Laugh
ing and chattering they are each prompt
" muffled in winding sheets by the
hostess. The head and hair and form
are securely covered, and when she IL
done the girls resemble papooses.
The young men draw lots, and one by
one they enter the room where the muf
fled girls sit. Helpless so far as sight O
touch goes, the puzzled lover tries T.
locate his favorite. Maybe she woult
help him if her eyes were not hidden
but she is as helpless as he. Finally n
chooses one, and then he may unveil her

continent or rapture will be the resul

The One Man Barras Praises.

Almost the only man who is praised
throughout the book (Barras' memoirs,
is a man who by universal assent de-
served the praise that he receives-Mar-
shall Iefcbvre, Due de Dantzick, the
husband in the well known play (al-
though perhaps not in real life) OF
mime. Sans-Gene. Barras never
names him without speaking OF his
courtesy, real goodness and perfect up
righteousness of character, and this even
at a time when he was holding the high
est Offices under Napoleon, and faith
fully serving one who to Barras was not
only the usurpcr, but the deadly personal
foe. Barras had much occasion for graf
itude TO Lefebvre, and with so bad q
man as Barras this might have been ex-
pected to secure his hatred had he
thought Lcfebvre worth IL, but the Duo
de Dantzick, rs is well known, was not
an eagle, and he had the tact never &c
write TO Barras without telling him how
much he continued to feel the invariable
kindness which in the days of the direc
torate he himself had received from th'
| director. London Athen@um.

THE IRISH PASTOR.
lie Is the "soggarth Aroon" Of the Poor
and Needy.

lie Is the "soggarth Aroon" OF the Poor
and Needy.
There is perhaps no better pastor in
the world from the spiritual point Of
view. The Irish people regard him with
mingled feelings Of awe and reverence
and love. A goo3 deal of this regard is
no doubt inspired by superstition-by
dread of the supernatural powers sup
posed to be possessed by Gods anoint-
ed" but, apart from that Father Pat
has secured for himself the warmest cor
ner in the hearts of his flock by his ex-
cellent qualities as spiritual pastor,
as friend when the soul is in need, as
a consider in sickness, distress and mis-
fortune. Many of the priests may lack
social grace and culture, but they are
eminently fitted for the spiritual duties
which, as pastors, they have to dis
charge. Fine gentlemen not needed for
the hard and repellent services-as they
appear to secular eyes-of the Catholic
church in Ireland.
Father Pats single minded devotion
to the duties of his Office, and his keen
interest in the spiritual needs Of his
flock, give him q surer title TO the re-
spect and reverence Of the people than
culture and learning. Besides, he is
brought into intimate relations with the
| people all through life but especially at
| its most momentous and solemn occa-
sions "Soggarth aroon" is the people s
term Of endearment for Father Pat, and
one of the most popular of the peasants
songs asks:
Who in the winters night.
| Soggarth aroon,
| When the cold blast did bite,
Soggarth aroon,
| Came to my cabin door,
| And on my earthen floor
| Knelt by me, sick and poor,
| Soggarth aroonG
Regarding them as body, the priests
are indeed very simple minded, un
worldly and warm hearted body Of men
without craft or guile-though, accord
ing to their enemies, who know then
not, these are their distinctive qualitie
and they pass through their narrow
colorless and self sacrificing lives cheer
fully and gladly, seeking no rewards, s.
far as this world is concerned, but tn
esteem and love Of their flocks. Con
