WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Another impor-
tant step toward the plan of home rule for
Cuba has been taken by the Spanish au-
thorties. The former plan. proposed but
not executed. some months ago. provided
for a Cuban congress OF thirty members.
of whom the Queen Regent was TO name
fifteen and the people Of Cuba were to
elect fifteen. IL Is now proposed 10 do
away with that part providing for the
naming Of members by the Queen Regent
so that the entire Cuban congress will be
elected by the Cuban people. This. and the
entire control given TO Cuba i'm making the
tariff laws OF the island. will constitute
the essential features of the new plan Of
home rule. That giving the people the eiec-
ton of the entire congress is felt 10 carry
out i'm spirit as well as I'm letter the idea of
home rule. Thus far only the general ma
ture of the proposed changes have been
made known to officials i'm Washington and
the draft OF the revised plan OF reforms
has not been received. nor is IL likely TO
be completed until after the completion OF
the Porto Rico reforms. which will bs
signed by the Queen Regent tomorrow as
a suitable Christmas act
Under the Spanish system IL will be nec-
essary to submit the foregoing changes to
the Cortes. which is not now I'm session
and not likely TO meet before February
The Christmas day reforms for Porto Rico
closely allied with those for Cuba. be-
ing the second section OF the same law
They give Porto Rico congress, the prov
inces of San Juan and Ponce alternating
every two years In choosing members for
term OF four years. The congress IL
given control of the whole island. public
works. telegraph. postoffice. railways and
navigation. agriculture. manufacture. inn
migration and colonization. public instruc-
tion. charities. the health department. etc.
The home government viii continue 10 e
represented by captain general. who viii
exercise supervisory power and be the local
delegate OF the minister 0f the colonies.
The foregoing was the plan approved by
the Cortes. but. in the OF Cuba,
IL is believed the plans WI be enlarged so
as TO make the congress wholly representa-
tive OF the people OF the island The def
mite action of the Queen In signing tho
Porto Rico reforms tomorrow is believed
10 be the prelude TO similar action for

Religion that is not used, cannot be
kept sweet.
The first mile toward the pit always
looks safe.
The finer the uniform, the easier it is
10 get recruits.
Good has to die every minute that sin
is allowed to live.
Never measure mans religion by
the length OF his face.
Keep right with God, and he will
keep bread in your house.
A lie is one of the meanest things the
devil ever turned loose.
He who would be right with God,
must do right by his fellow-men.
The grateful heart is full of music
that angels would love to sing.
The longer we put off repentance, the
more sin we will have to repent of.
No Christian can long keep close to
God, who does all his praying on the
run.
The man God uses, does not spend
much time in looking for an easy place.
There will be no lack of repentance
when the morning Of judgment day
dawns.
The Christian who is man of much
prayer will make others want to pray.
There are too many temperance men
who stop working at the trade on cleo
tion day.
The man who makes a heaven for
himself makes himself the biggest man
in it,
Every Christian ought to be a man
whose first business in this world is to
please God. Z
There is only one right way to be a
Christian, and that is TO be one all the
time.
A careful searching of the Scriptures
Is one OF the most effectual prayers
we can make for God TO reveal him
self to US.
Make the devil keep away from the
children, and he will soon have to
leave the world.-Ram's Horn.

Renouncing Sin.

There is great temptation to ex-
case your sins to yourself. None of
your excuses are such as you would
dare to offer on the day of judgment.
Instead of excusing your sins and trying
10 palliate them, strive earnestly to
break off from them, Make the reso-
lutte attempt upon the very first sin
to which you are tempted. Set your
self against sin, and call for the Spirits
power to help you conquer it. Con-
version means renouncing of sin, and
mo one has even begun to serve Jesus
Christ until he has declared war upon
mis- fayorite appetites and passions

Character Growth.

as the real life of the tree is invisible
and belongs to the hidden processes of
nature. so the character of the indiyid-
ual grows in secret. The sources are
never on the surface. How shall we
keep them pure?" is the enc vital ques-
ton for young and old Flower and
fruit never expand in sudden move
ments-their growth is continuous. So
ones character can never develop sud-
henly-it must attain ripeness and
maturity slowly and steadily, like the
bud. We know the motives for good
or evil that stir within us. We can
