Whojudges another, condemns him
self.
The truest wisdom is resolute de-
termination.
He bends wholly to Satan that in
clines half to him.
Lies whispered on earth .tthG--
derclaps in heaven.
Truth is the root, but human SYM
pathy is the flower of practical life.
God wants our service to be Joy
fully and willingly rendered. He
wants Christians who are courageous,
who are not ashamed of their SER
vices to him.
No religion that influences only the
mind and intellect and fails to stir
the heart can be anything but false.
True religion can be obtained only
by placing a child-like faith in God.
How much gloom would come into
our lives if each one lived in the dread
that would spring from a knowledge
of the exact time when the sorrows
of parting from dear ones must be
metl
Is there not trouble enough and
pain enough in the world without
our adding anything to it? Does not
every one of us at the best find il
rough enough? Is not the strugglf
upward to a better manhood and
womanhood sharp enough so that
no one of us need put any more
stumbling-blocks in another's way?
A noble life is the best school o
oratory. Here is a day now before
me. A day is a fortune and al
estate. Write six ciphers in lint
and they amount to nothing. Pu'
the figure before them, and they
amount to a million. All human tai
ents and possessions are but cipher
until you put the name of Jesus a
the head of them. Then they max
their owner a millionaire for heaven.

Fear of Spain.

According to ex-cathedra dis

kept in state of constant anxiety
lest that body should in some man.
ner embroil the country in war with
Spain.-It is held that if congress had
passed a joint resolution recognizing
the belligerency of the Cubans, and
the President had made it effective
by signing it, war would have re-
suited. The implication from this is
that the fear of Spanish resentment
is lettering President Cleveland from
recognizing the struggling patriots,
and if such is the case the decidedly
modifying spectacle is presented OF
the United States fearing to accord
to brave, oppressed people, strug-
Cling for the principles Americans
hold most dear, the recognition that
is their due; fearing, through dread
of Spanish hostility, to express Off
cially the sentiments that the Ameri.
can people hold almost unanimously
War is to be Stunned as long as it is
possible, but not at the expense o.
right of humanity, and of nationa
honor. 1t is to be hoped that the
fear attributed to President Cleve
land does not exist, for it would b.
anything but expressive of the true
sentiments of the country.-Travel

In compliance with the provision
of the Interstate commerce law, the
railroad companies throughout the
country are equipping their freight
cars with air brakes and patent
couplers. This means a cost of
nearly $54, 100000 to the railroads,
but it is by no means money wasted.
Had such expenditures been made
years ago many lives which have
been sacrificed might have been
saved. But it is never too late to
adspt appliances that are positively
known to yield good results.
