tum. the following letter came
from mountain subscriber,-"Y GU
know very well paid my subscrip-
ton to your paper the last time l
was in town. If l get any more
such letters as / received from you
last week, will come down and
maui HI out of you - The Minis
lister answered.: II have been try
ing to maui that thing out OF the
editor for The last ten years, and If
YOU will really come down and
maui it out of him, then, my dear
sir, have twenty members OF my
church I will get you to operate
on. "-Universalist Herald.
You have only to make your mus
nicipal corporation like your bus~
mess corporation, aud you have
solved the problem. You need
not say that that cannot be done.
I 1t cannot be done by three cheers
and a brass band. 1t cannot be
done by newspaper editorials three
weeks before election. 1t cannot
be done by making yourselves not
only the friends but the DULLES OF
virtue ten days before you vote.
1t can be done by beating the pol
iticians at their own game. Their
game IS organizatlon.--St. Clair

1t is time that the church should
set it's approval upon cremation and
encourage more distinctly than it
has vet done this method of dispos-
!, ing of mans mortal remains. The
argument for it from the side OF
r. the practical as relates to the order
, of our community life and to the
safety of the living is too familiar to
need urging. In large centers OF
population the appeal comes with
great force. But on the side of
Christian thought what the church
: surely believes it should also teach,
. that the faith of the ages in the
\ resurrection of the dead is in no
"A wise impaired by this practice.

It l suppose God lets the east wind blow just

Gods protection. We all feel we can man

Oh, Thou who changest not, abide with me!
# Bless God for your trials. Oh. my Chris
! tim friend. keep your spirits up by the
o power of Christ's gospel. Do not surrend-
h err Do you not know that when you give
up. Others will give up? You have courage,
and others will have courage. The Romans
a went into the battle. and by some accident
there was an inclination of the standard.
The standard upright meant forward march;
I the inclination OF the standard meant sur
p render. Through the negligence of the man
, who carried the standard, and the inclina-
ton of it, the amy surrendered. Oh, let us
, keep the standard up. whether it be blown
down by the east wind or the north wind or
the south wind. No inclination to sur
T render. Forward into the conflict.
+ There is near Bombay tree that they call
/ the Borrowing tree" the peculiarly of
which is it never puts forth any bloom in the
daytime, but in the night puts out all its
bloom aud all its redolence. And J have TO |
tell you that through Christian character |
puts forth its sweetest blossoms in the dark |
ness of sickness, the darkness of financial |
distress. the darkness of bereavement, the |
darkness of death, weeping may endure for
night, but Joy cometh in the morning."
Across the harsh discords of this world rolls |
the music of the skies-music that breaks
from the Ups, music that breaks from the
harps and rustles from the palms, music like
falling water over rocks, music like wander
Ing winds among leaves, music like carolinc
birds among forests, music like ocean bill
lows storming the Atlantic beach, "They
shall hunger no more. neither thirst any
more, neither shall the sun light on
them nor any heat, for the Lamb which
is in the midst of the throne shall lead them
to living fountains of water, and God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes" see
a great Christian fleet approaching that har-
Dor. Some OF the ships come in with sails
rent and bulwarks Knocked away, but still
| ahoat. Nearer and nearer the shining shore
Nearer and nearer the eternal anchorage.
Haul away, my lads; haul away! Some of
the ships had mighty tonnage and others
were shallops easily listed of the wind and
wave. Some were men-of-war and armed
OF the thunders of Christian battle. and
Others were unpretending tugs taking others
| through the Narrows, and some were coasters
that never ventured out into the deep seas
| OF Christian experiences; but they are all
coming nearer the Neutrality-suspicious. gal.
