First, get wife; second, be pa

and perplexities in your business,
but do not therefore, carry to your
home cloudy or contracted brow.
Your wife may have trials, which,
though of less magnitude, may be
hard for her to bear. A kind word,
a tender look, will do wonders in
chasing from her brow all clouds of

The Work of Christ.

How wondrously His life and teach
ing have changed the face of all human
society. The religions of heathenism
were hollow ceremonies or orgies of
shameless impurity. These have been
overthroWn and banished into obscurity,
till it seems difficult to imagine a con-
dition of society in which they could be
tolerated. Pity has been lifted from a
vice and weakness into a virtue. Power
ty, which had always been a curse, is
glorifed into beatitude. Labor is no
longer a vulgarity and slavery, but
dignifed duty. Marriage, from being
burdensome conventionality, to be shirk-
ed if possible, and possessing little if
any sanctity, has been ennobled almost
to a sacrament. He revealed purity
more than angelic in it's beauty, and of
which the world had well nigh despair
ed. He showed meekness and charity
at which tie scoffing Of men grows ST.
lent in awe and reverence His infiu-
ence has nodded character in all lands
and among all races of men where His
gospel has come, SO pure, SO gentle, SO
brave and strong, has made homes to
arise SO full of bsauty and sweetness,
where before was strife and abhorrent
impurity, that there can be but one ex-
PLANTATION of the wonder. He must be
the wisdom of God and the power Of
God, for He makes men godlike.

Discovery of a Dreadful Plot.

Some excitement has been caused in
church circles by the discovery of a Sc
cret society at Cambridge whose object
is to convert the undergrads to extreme
high church views. The society calls
itself the Companions of St. John, and
it is said that the members have to take
an oath not to disclose the fact of mem
bership to any one One of the religious
papers has ferreted the matter out and
seems to be greatly perturbed at it's dis
covery. So far the Companions of ST.
John do not appear to have done any
thing dreadful, and if it amuses them
to play at being a secret society do not
see that it matters very much to any
one. 1t the paper in question had dis
covered a popish plot against the crown,
it could hardly have made more fuss

THE CARS BODYGUARD.
Will General Tcherevin's Death Eno one
Phase of Russian Despotism?


Phase of Russian DespotIsm!
The death of General Tcherevin is an
event CT some Importance, inasmuch as
it is expected to lead to the discontinue
ance OF the special institution whlch
the late general represented, and winch,
in fact he may be said to have created
the special guard, composed OF Vari-
ETY. OF persons known and unknown, IN
Guiding the police of the Imperial resi-
dence, for the protection of the person OF
the czar. At least it is rumored that the
late general is not 1ikley to have sue
cessor IN exactly the same position I'M
der the present young car, and lndeed
the condition of affairs now is SO differ
ent from that which led to the creation
Of this extraordinary position III the
early years Of the last reign that IN all
probability its continuance in its pres
ent form will be considered unneces-
sary. It's present machinery may simply
be incorporated with the other depart
ments Of the ministry of the household,
if not at once, perhaps after the corona
ton. In any case some change IN this
respect is being discussed
The high favor in which General
Tcherevin was held by the imperial
family was shown by the presence OF
the car and his imperial mother at the
bedside when the general breathed his
last. The removal of the body to the
church of the regiment of horse guards
was also attended by most Of the en-
peror's uncles and cousins, and the
dOwager empress was present at prayers
in the mortuary chamber before tho
coffin was carried by troopers of tho
horse guards, followed by the digni
taries Of the court and government and
members of the imperial family. The
body will be taken by rail on Saturday
to the late generals estate in the prov
ince Of Kostroma.
General Tcherevin distinguished him
self in the Polish campaign of 1868 and
the Turkish war of 1877. During tho
latter he was head of the czar's COssack
bodyguard, which he commanded for
nine years. From 1878 to 1880 he was
assistant chief of gendarmes and head of
the third section of his majesty's cabi-
net, otherwise the secret political police.
Subsequently he became assistant minis
ter Of the interior. While he was in con-
troll of the secret police an attempt was
made upon his life by nihilist, whom
the general horsewhipped on the spot,
after disarming him of a revolver. Alex
ander III attached the general to his
person and gave him immense authority
in all that concerned his majestys safe
ty. He was therefore the constant COM
panion of the late czar, and, although
he was very fond of good cheer, his keen
intellect was ever ON the alert to servo
the best interests of his sovereign.-Lon-

A TOnch of Nature.

An American clergyman, whose dream
it had been to visit England, crossed the
ocean at last for his ten weeks vaca-
ton. For fortnight he enjoyed going
about alone from place to place, seeing
the sights, but he soon became lonely
and then homesick One Saturday morn
ing he started out for long walk, hav-
ing no plan for the mornings recrea-
ton. He penetrated far into the wide
reaches of the east end. There were
crowds of men, women and children
wherever he went, but not a face that
he had ever seen before or would ever
see again. Turning from the buster
streets he found narrow lane and sat
down on the stone step of a dreary tene-
ment house.
While he was sitting there he heard
a child's sobbing voice from the open
hallway behind him. Looking around
he saw a little urchin crying as though
his heart would break. "What is the
matter, my little fellow?'' asked the
clergyman III his gentlest tone. Home
sick, sir !" said the child. "Since moth
er died l have had no home 1 don't
seem to belong to anybody. Iwant some
one to talk to. well, lad, there are

haven't you homo anywhere?" Eyes,
but it is a lcng way off, across the sea-
why don't you go back to it? If only
had a home, I would never leave it. -
The lonely minister, who had found
his vacation in the awful solitude of
London unutterably depressing, did not
have an answer ready. But his heart
went out to the homeless little wait.
He took the child out of the empty
house, obtained decent clothes for him at
a charitable institution, paid board for
him at lodging house, and finally car
ried him to America at the end of the
vacation. San Francisco Argonaut.

Lesson For the Week Beginning April 10.
comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, A. NJ.
Topic, The Scriptures
Source of Inspiration.

SCRIPTURE READING.-Math. xii, 8, 4, A. AZ;
Heb. XII.
One of the most powerful agencies for
she spreading Of the kingdom of God is
the circulation of the Christian Scrip
lures. Preaching, teaching and exhorta-
ton are all valuable ana effective in
struments, but nothing can replace the
Bible. No arguments of man are as
convincing as its truths; no persuasion
IS SO drawing; no logic is SO indisputa-
bic. When the books are opened on the
last great day, it will be wondrous
story which will be unfolded of the
power Of the simple Scriptures in con-
victing men and bringing them to God.
When Perry's fleet lay in the harbor
of Yokohama, high japanese official
in a native boat watching the foreign
vessels saw book floating in the wa
ter. He secured it, but for many months
could find no one who could read the
language in which it was printed. Aft
er long search he found a man who read
it to him. IG proved to be an English
Bible. Convinced of the truth contained
in it, he sought to follow it's teaching,
and after the first missionaries appeared
in the land he sought out one of them
and publicly professed Christianity.
Many people have found pardon and
peace by the single study Of the word of
God. It inspires trust, hope and love in
God and leads to a new life.

Once Uncle Sam called upon the sa-

said Uncle Sam, ''and l have big no

Then the saloon keeper was greatly
disturbed, and at once took Uncle
Sam out in front of his magnificent
building and showed him the throng
of men pressing in. "See how we'll
dressed and respectable they are"
urged the saloon keeper. "Why, some
of the first families in town patronize
my establishment"
Then he showed Uncle Sam the great
trains loaded with grain that were
rushing toward his distillery, the army
of workmen employed in brewery dis
tillery, and saloon, the great stream of
money kept in brisk. motion by the
enterprise, and thousand evidences
of thrift

and if you should shut up my estab

and the railroads, and the machine

Uncle Sam stood for little while

looked up with a sharp eye. "There

A Roentgen Romance.

An Atchison woman is writing love
story in which the cathode ray plays a
prominent part. The heroine turns the
cathode ray on young mans pocket
book and finds it full and his heart
empty. She at once makes advances,
and the young man follows her lead. He
takes trick after trick by his skillful
plays in the game and is about to ask
for her hand when a friend suggests
that the girl has another lover ON the
string. He turns the cathode ray ON her
heart and finds that he occupies very
small space in it. Discouraged, he COM
mits suicide, and the girl who has
learned to love him for himself too late
spends the rest of her life in taking
solitary rambles to the cemetery, where
the daily turns the cathode ray on his
grave in order to gaze again and again
upon his features and see how he is get
ting on. 1t is expected that the story
will make great hit. -Atchison Globe.

The Christmas Conference.

The Methodist Episcopal church was
organized in Baltimore at meeting of
the itinerant preachers Christmas, 1884.
All those who had been preaching
through the country were local preach
erS and unordained. The number was
small and the total church membership
was insignificant. But they were filled
with zeal for the salvation of men. DIR.
Thomas Coke had been ordained by
John Wesley and sent over to organize
the church The manner in which these
pioneers of Methodism proceeded is
well worth the careful study of our
Leagues Not long since one of the
chapters in Connecticut gave public
representation of this famous confer
ence, and illustrated the way in which
the work was done. Such a method of
teaching our history is as effective as it
is unique. 1t would not be difficult for
others to follow their example and in
such an entertainment convey much val
liable information. Try it,

A New Era.

It is evident to the most superficial
observer that we are on the eve of q
new era in religious matters. The at
IGNITION which the prosecutions of the
Armenians by the Turks is arousing
and the vigorous protests of all Chris
sendom mark decided advance in the
condition of the worlds thought. The
young people are an important factor at
the present time in all the spiritual
life Of the community. The old lines of
antagonism and jealousy between old
and young are fast disappearing. The
young are coming to revere real piety
III the elderly as never before. The ma
ture and aged are encouraging and fos
tering the advancement of the young
with increasing care. A time of greater
activity and hberality is dawning. The
long, hard struggle with grinding pow
erty and privations inseparable from the
settlement of a new country are now
nearly past. Plenty and prosperity are
in many homes. Wealth and power have
come i'll place of the old pinching and
persecution. Under those more genial
influences larger hearted type of piety
must be developed. The world cries for
help. No longer do we pray for doors to
open. All doors are wide open. The
need is not for men, but means. The
young people must rally to the help Of
the Lord Let our young men and wom-
en- dedicate of their earnings literally
to the cause of Christ, and the kingdom
Will advance not by steps, but by bounds
and long leaps. Help, not a little, but
all you can.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.

serve punishment in the future you
will get it. That is Universalism.
Pure men and women are ruined by

There is no new creed or old creed.
There may be new light from the BIZ
BILE, and there certainly will be from
the living word Of God. But there
can be nothing beyond Jesus.
The church is not a mere teacher of
principles; she is guide and mother;
she has our salvation at heart; and to
effect this she comes down to the
smallest things, having solely in view
our needs.
The great evil of intoxicating drink
is now acknowledged by all the or
! gans of public opinion, for it is estab-
lished beyond legitimate question that
it undermines the health, enfeebles
the mind, separates the husband and
wife, and sometimes wrecks entire
! families.
| We hear a good deal about liberty
of conscience and liberty of thought,
which, in fact, is plea for license to
tear down and destroy, with subtle
inference and pretense, the faith of
men in the old and settled truths of
the Gospel.
The laborer of to-day may be the
millionaire of the future in these times
of changeable fortunes. The rich man
is hard to convert after he has become
rich, and the only sure way to have
the rich is to reach them when they
are laborers.
Iwould to God that every church
in America were animated with the
spirit of the Salvation Army. If SO,
what a golden stream of treasure
would pour into the storehouse of
heaven from what has been regarded
as the waste heaps of human life.
The church is not Christianity. Mel
Their is orthodoxy. 1t is possible for
church with an orthodox creed to be
devoid of the Christianity of Christ,
which is neither an organization nor
a creed, but spirit and life-the spirit
of love and the life of God.
