GROWTH.

Growth always means change. AS soon
might we expect the year to pass over our
heads without leaving t.nces OF age in. the
silyered hair and furrowed cheek as to eA-
pect to have an abiding type OF Christian
experience. As the stalk natures its fruit
the blade becomes Of less account. 1t has
done its work. The question for us to ask
Is not, Do feel as once did? Do think
lust as once did2 but rather, Have male
progress and growth in the spiritual life?
Manhood ought not to measure itself by the
standard Of childhood. Spiritual growth
ought also to be symmetrical as well as
constant. 4 tree that has spent all its
vitality in forming a worthless eXcresence
will attract more attention thin It's we'll
formed symetrlcal nsighbor that bears album
dant fruit :; but who doubts which Is the
best tree? 1t often happens that those VINO
cultivate single spiritual grace to the neg
lect OF others get their reputation noised
abroad, but this does not make them the
best types Of Christian character.
Spiritual growth Is not spontaneous. The
benefits OF divine truth and religious ordi-
nanees do not flow in upon the soul like
water into sponge. The believers life IN
all its activities must seek after and be ear
nestly receptive to the gracious Influences
and power OF the Spirit. "Consider the
lilies. how they grow. They toll not
but with what intensity and activity OF
life, In obedience to the laws that govern all
growth. they reach out after and receive
through light and air and soil the nourish-
ment they require. Thus it comes to pass
that the sunlight Is woven into the very
texture of the lily's blossom. It Is the same
miracle OF life transmitted into character,
that makes the result OF spiritual growth go
wonderful. The soul in the humility OF
trust receptive to the Divine love and help,
veriaes the Saviour's promise: " He that
abideth in Me, and l in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit. "-Christian Work.

IEAFY rARERNACLEs.

"The simplicity, freedom and spontanelty
OF the early religions were manifested"
SAYS Henry Wood, ''in sympathetic one
ness with nature and an instructive feeling
of her divinity. The people assembled for
worship or sacrifice ut natural shrines or
under the broad canopy OF heaven
rather than In temples made with hands"
The splendid rites Of Semitic idolatry. were
found on high hills; and the, fire
worshipers delighted, in their high places,
to greet the dawn. The sin, in these
cases, was not in the places or times, but
in the quality of the worship; in devotion
to nature rather than the God who made
nature The Druids worshiped in the deep
and dark forest. The place was befltting !;
the sin was in the dark rites they observed
there. About our open-air worship there
has always seemed to us to be something at
once cheerful and serious. The old time
camp-meeting came close to nature; it was
also felt to be close to God. The voice Of
God was heard in the sigh of the breeze AMI
tho ,ng Of the birds. Many a soul has felt
the appropriateness and beauty Of such
scenes Of worship for there God has re-
vealei Himself in mercy and love. COM
manding His blessing, even life forever
more.

UTTERLY USELESS.

At temperance mass meeting In st. Paul
the Rev. John Gmeiner called attention to
tho utter uselessness of the liquor traffic.
Liquor was not nourishing. God could no
more be blamed with creating alcohol than
with creating carrion, for alcohol was the
product Of corruption. Nor, again, was ale
cohol medicine. Within the last twenty
five years some Of the worlds greatest ply
sicians have declared that there was no dis
ease, no surgical case, that could not bS
treated better without alcohol Doctor Davis,
known to all his profession, had declared,
after long observation, that alcohol afforded
but a temporary relief at the most, and that
persons who recovered under its administra-
tion would have recovered sooner under
other treatment.
The saloon had been called ''the poor mans
club" Sc it would always be. Its constant
patron would indeed remain poor man.
fntempcrance was especially the curse OF
the laborer. Yet Terence Powderly Of the
United States, and John Burns, Of England,
had said to the workingmen: "Unless you
give up drink, there Is no hope for you.
When you had given up drink, the labor
question is solved" Liquor was nota food,
not medicine, not a permanent source Of
pleasure.

lay or two after the nomination Of Bryan, in
which he explained at length the circum-
stances which would compel him to support
the Chicago ticket, and closed By referring
10 the necessity Of his resignation from the
Cabinet.
A reply was received from the President
some days later, and several other letters
were exchanged before the President, under
date Of August 16, finally accepted the resig-
nation.
Mr.. Smith declined to discuss his future
plans. excepting to state that he would re-
sumo the practice Of law and his other busl-
ness affairs In Atlanta.
He will probably make two speeches dur
ing the campaign in his own State. In these
speeches he will advocate the election OF
Bryan and Sewall, but he will oppose the
silver platform adopted By the Chicago Con-
vention. While remaining Democrat, Sec
retary Smith will not deviate in the slightest
from the position on the money question
which he assumed In Georgia during his
joint debates with ex-Speaker Crisp.
It Is believed that by supporting the Chl-
cago nominees and opposing the platform
Secretary Smith will gain many friends In
Georgia, and while maintaining his standing
as Democrat will not compron mise his tnan-
olal record In the slightest.

THE lEPER BANDIT DEAD,
His Record Was One Sheriff and Four
Soldiers.

His Record Was One Sheriff and Four
Soldiers.
The bandit leper Of the Hawaiian islands
is reported dead. Koolau was his name, and
his record was one Sheriff and four soldiers
killed. Three years ago the Hawaiian Gov
eminent undertook to remove to the Govern
mental leper settlement a band OF lepers
which had settled in the little valley Of
Kolalau, on the island of Kauai. All ofthem
consented to 80 except Koolau, who resisted.
Accordingly the Sheriff went to remove him
forcibly. But he was well armed and killed
the Sheriff.
This resistance 20 authority caused the
Government to send two companies of
soldiers to arrest him. Koolau retreated
into the mountain Businesses, which are al
most inaccessible. The troops tracked him,
however, but the trails were 80 narrow they
could only como upon him In Indian file.
and, being q good shot and desperate
man, he killed the soldiers as fast as they
came in view. After four had been killed
the remainder withdrew, and Koolau was
permitted to retain his residence In the
little valley. The news comes now that he
is dead, and that his wife, who had remained
faithfully with him, buried him in the valley
which had been his stronghold.

THE soT A SUICIDE.

The Right Rev. Monslgnor Thorpe, OF
Cleveland, during sermon on the great evil
of modern days, said man who Will
squander his money In destroying his healtht
who will ruin his constitution, who will burn
his liver and corrode his stomach by intoxi-
eating drinks, Is a murderer; he murders
himself. Those to whom my words would
apply are, perhaps, in this precious time OF
Sunday, hanging about some saloon, wasting
their time and desecratipg the Lords day,
while wife and family are at home, cold and
cheerless and hungry, because the money OF
the fathers earnings Is being spent for drink.
What a spectacle for little children growing
up to see q drunken father. There Is nd
struggle to meet him at the door with kiss
OF innocent childhood. to climb his knee and
caress him as he sits down by his humble
freside. There is no supper, no food, and
all because of the unthiEking, unfeelin9
fathers desire for drink. The responsibility
of man to man Is exacting, but the responst,
bility of parents to children Is a. thousand
times more exactlng. Put temptation from
you; say that you will not degrade yourself
so as to destroy the soul that God has given
you, and which one day you will have to
render an account for.
