Now in the survey OF morals. rewards

You remember Esop's woodman, moaning
for his AK. let slip from his hand into the
river. Mercury, overhearing. made prompt
dive. bringing up first a golden and then a
silver AK, which the honest man refused as
not his; from a third plunge the god came
UP with the ak of iron. which was rightly
claimed, and the woodman was ftly re-
warded by Mercury, who made him the
happy owner Of all the axes; whereupon' a
base liar went to the river and cast in his
ak and then began TO cry. Mercury came
and heard his artful story. and leapng into
the flood rose with an ak of gold, which the
man claimed as his, but the god instantly
sank in the food and was seen no more. the
trickster losing even the AK that was his.
Men do not ask to-day a mans church
connection or his religious creed; but is he
an honest man? Can he be rusted? Is he
a man of his word? And any man ought
to know that ones sins will in the end find
him out. Providence looks out for justice.

There is an ancient legend of an Egyptian
king who began a great temple and Anisaed
1t with the exception of a piece of gold
needed for the arch. Search was instituted
in vain for the ornament, until the builder
one day. seeing a little child pass with a
gold ring upon its finger. snatched it away
from her, and inserted it in the all hut

e~xu.tant joy the entire structure began to

ruins.
This legend gives US an impressive illus
tration of the fact that ~wrongioing carries
with it its own fatal penalty; and that in
the building of character, in the education
and development Of that sacred temple, the
human soul, meant Cor the habitation of the
great God, no wood. hay or stubbie must en-
ter into its structure, but be built upon tine
solid rock of the divinest principles OF spir-

create and develop a beautiful world within
Us, the heaven Of which seers, sages and
poets dream and sing. a beautiful world. a
holy temple, wherein we shall peet and
know God, and be like Him.

ROMANISM AND POLITICS.


How the Methodist Conference Expressed
Itself the subject.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April 14.-At the
session of the Methodist conference yes
terday it was voted to favor the admission
of women lay delegates to the general
conference to be held at Cleveland. The
motion was hotly debated, but passed
with handsome ajority.
A heated debate on Romanism was had
when the committee made it's report and
submitted the following resolutions, which
were adopted after a struggles:
Resolved That as members of the New Eng
land conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, we urge all Americans to be alive to
sorbed in the advancement of personal inter
ests as to fail to oppose the aggression of
politica Romanism.
We are unalterably opposed to all appropri.
ations of public moneys for sectarian pur.
poses. We commend the national house of
representatives for its recent refusal to make
such appropriations. We respectfully and
earnestly request the United States senate to
ratify this action of the house Of representa-
tives, and Grover Cleveland, our president, to
give to it his sanction.
We reaffirm our hearty support of the Am
erican public school system as one of the great
bulwarks of our civil and religious liberties
vital to the development of true Americanism.
We commend most heartily the Roman
Catholics who are faithful in temperance and
other NOR; reforms who accept the truth
Gods word when interpreted according to the
dictations of their own judgment, and while
taking their religion do not take their politics
