December and the ground was bare and
frozen quite hard. Some of the guests

brotherhood Of st. Andrew.

Rev Dr. McKim of the Church of the
Epiphany, Washington, delivered an adj
! dress on ST. Andrews Day at Grace
Church, Alexandria. Among other things
he said
That Brotherhood men should recog-
niZe the existence of the Kingdom OF
God in this world; also that they should
recognize their duty and take part i'll ex-
tending that kingdom among young
men,"
The great heresy of the present time
is that most people believe that the duty
of converting the world devolves upon
and belongs to the clergy alone. Such is
not the case. 1t is as much the duty OF
the laity as it is of the clergy.
That a person should not only ask
What must l do to be saved but What
must do to save
The Brotherhood of st. Andrew rests
upon the personal experiences of its men,
bers."
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew as an
organization has nothing whatever to do
with the Sunday School" which state
ment was qualified by "Brotherhood of
St. Andrew men are the most likely to be
men to feel their responsibility for under
taking work in the Sunday school and to
do it with success
THE motto of every Brotherhood man
should be ready for every good work.
The Sunday school is the most impor
tant agency tor building up the Kingdom
of Christ in this world"
"a Brotherhood man should show cause
why he should not take part in the work
of the Sunday school when called upon
by the rector to do SO. Ignorance of the
Bible should be no excuse, as that could
be easily done away with"
"A class of boys will soon become young
men, and by sowing the seed and prepar-
ing the soil in the springtime of life we
are laying good foundation for rich
harvest in later life"
Teaching in the Sunday school calls for
self sacrifice, but the results are worth all
the self denial we put into IT.
Most people leave off the latter part
of those comfortable words: Come nh
to me all We that are labor and are heavy
laden, and 1 will give you rest, which
are: And take my yoke upon you and
learn of me-

John II. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer
or more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour-
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 900 new subscribers the most
substantial and coveted testimonial
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those Of greater magnitude.
