ECONOMY.

Too often we think of economy as some
thing belittlipg, practised by those Of small,
selfish and grasping natures, or by nobler
souls from stern necessity. That anyone
should exercise economy from belief in it
as the true and natural method of life IS
usually incomprehensible. Yet no close OBJ
server of the natural world and NO careful
student of the Bible can fail to discover that
economy is law OF nature and Of God.
In the incident at Cana, Christ used what
was at hand. The hungry multtudss in
the desert must have marreled 20 see him
take the meager portion which they had
thought hardly worth mentioning and con.
vert It into sustenance. And II he, who OF
all others had the right to be lavish iaDd ex-
travagant. was never .wasteful, surely no
person can feel justifieddn wasting where
Christ would have saved. II hei in every

RELIGIOUS READING.
THE READINESS OF GOD.

One Of the hardest things for human be-
Jag to understand, in the Divine character
Is the readiness Of God to forgive, to help,
70 befriend, to adopt, to bless. chow can
ne forgive me, how can He accept mep" Is
otIen the despairing cry. How can He
take tax! me into His heart OF loye, when up to
TINS very moment I have neglected and
grieved and denied Him?" Yes. Gods way
is different from the human way-so differ
ent that no wonder human nature stands
Rerplexed and wondering and doubling.
Inc human way, even II the better
spirit had come to man. would
be to forgive gradually with a GER
tain eyitable reserve OF feeling; to render
confidence and help by degrees and not until
the onender had thoroughly proved his
change OF heart, to take him into one g bosom
and ones life. Gods way Is not so. The
Bible Is full of assurances Of our Heavenly
Fathers immediate response to human re-
pentance and human need. The instant q
man cries, from the depths OF broken and
contrite heart, "God be merciful to me, a
sinnerI'that instant God forgives and adopts
him. Think oftaking to your heart one who
had always cursed and injured you! Yet that
Is precisely what God does when He accepts
the repentant sinner. If you say that the
sinner is Gods child, and that therefore It is
not as hard for the Heavenly Father to take
him to His breast when repentant, consider
is not the sinner just as much your brother
as he is Gods child? There should be no
distinction between the Divine feeling and
the human feeling on the score OF spiritual
relationship.
It Is not. Of course, to be supposed, or
urged, that mans way should be like Gods
way in this respect. The difference repre-
sents just what distinguishes the divine and
the human. The lesson which we are to
draw from the thought of Gods readiness is
the lesson Of hope, and joy, and confidence
in coming to Him. God never stops to
ponder over the matter WI 81 human soul
cries out to Him for love and help and for
giveness. He is always in state of watch
full, responsiveness to meet the first prayer
breathings Of the human soul, and bless that
soul unto the uttermost. And no length Of
wandering can carry the soul away from
Him, out of His love or power. The sweet
words of Whittier are always true,-
II only know I cannot pass -
Beyond His love and care"
Persistent alienation sometimes kills the
love Of the human heart, but never Gods
love. Forever and forever He stands ready
to welcome the prodigal returning to his
Fathers house. So long as man has power
Of will to turn, so long the Divine arms ara
outstretched to receive him. There is no
dead-line Of condemnation, save that awful
bound which man sets for himself when
he surrenders to evil the last possibility Of
voluntarily turning to meet the winning
love-light In the face of God.

A BRUTAL CRIME.

dered in Paterson.

Miss Mary E. Sullivan Mysteriously Muir
dered In Paterson.
Miss Mary E. Sullivan, aged twenty-eight,
a music teacher, was murdered within few
doors Of her home, in Park avenue, Pater-
son, N. J., a few evenings ago.
Her skull was crushed with a heavy
weapon, probably a coupling pin. She was
found unconscious on the sidewalk beside
vacant lot, and died a few hours after her
removal to the General Hospital. She was
unable to speak more than one sentence, and
from that it Is believed that her murderer
meditated either robbery or assault.
The crime Is q most remarkable one, be-
cause Of the early hour and the public place
at which it was committed and the admirable
character of the victim. The police and the
hospital surgeons believe that sho was fatally
hurt while defending her honor. She was
neither robbed nor assaulted.
The victim was slightly built, weighing
about ninety-Ave pounds, delicate. with pale
face and magnificent dark hair. She lived
with her sisters and brothers at 193 Park
avenue. She was OF quiet demeauor. ex-
tremely lady-Ike and Of very exemplary
character.

"The Republicans Of Ohio don't look un-
kindly at Thomas B. Reed, nor Levi P. Nor

.rcoHo11sH AND ITS EFFECTS.

At a meeting of the Edinburgh Medico-
Chirurgical Society DR.. Lockhart Gillespie
read a paper, entitled Statistics Concern
ing the Patients Admitted Into the Royal
Inflrmary Suffering From Alcoholism and
Its Effects During The Last Five Years. y
During that period 1864 patients had been
admitted (only those were reckoned who
we're suffering from alcohol and its imme-
diate effects), 995 males and 1923 females. In
this number there had been forty-four deaths
-thirty-eight males Qour per CENT and six
females (1.S per cent? As to monthly ad-
missions, these were most in January; there
was slight rise In April. great rise in July
and August, and fall from that time till the
lowest number was reached In November.
There was an excess in summer, more espe-
cially in female admis sions.
. A graphic chart of the above facts closely
corresponded to q similar chart OF the
deaths in the eight principal towns OF Scot
land for the same period. AS to occupation:
Males, 461 laborers, Of which 271 were out
door laborers and 19J indoor. The outdoor
workers drank most In summer, the indoor
most in winter. One hundred and nineteen

summer; professional classes, 10S these
drank most in summer, and were more prone

varies with wet weather. As to females, 1852

most pugnacious of any. There were l01
cases OF neuritis, chiefly in summer, and
none In the five Novembers of the period
covered. One hundred and seventy-seven
