Endeavorers Mt the Circus.

Some Colorado Springs Endeavorers
went to the circus the other day. But
they took the gospel with them aud left
the circus a purer, sweeter place a1ter
they had departed Seeing that no eifort
was being made fer the spiritual wei
fare of the men connected with the CIR.
Gus, some 200 Endeavorers gathered
with a gospel wagon at the circus
grounds after the close of the church
services one Sunday. The meeting,
which was large and spiritual, resulted
in some 30 persons expressing the uesir'
to lead the better life. All the New

the Endeavorers the next morning an'
distributed among the men, who received
them gladly.

ToPIc.-Getting the most cut Of the Bible
Deut. vi, 10
A high valuation is to be placed upon
Gods commands as recorded IN his
word, the Bible. The Bible is not
merely human book In writing TX holy
men wrote as they were moved by the
Holy Ghost. 1t was given by divine IN
spiration, and is Gods word. III Is Oh
priceless value To man. Without IL we
would have no sure knowledge OF GOD,
such as could lead to our reconciliation
with Him. Taking into consideration
its author and its character, we can
easily see the importance OF making the
hest use of the Bible and of getting out
of il the most that we can. 1t is the
CHRISTIANS compass and chart ON the
sea of life between time and eternity.
How can we get all out of it we can!
| There is no new method, no short cut 10
beneficial knowledge of the SCRIPTURES
| not even since the days of Moses, who
| laid down the same rules that apply to-
day.
/. Study the Scriptures. The only
way TO know the Scriptures practically
il to study them-read them and think
unon them. We should do this regularly
and Systematically We should strive
to get a grasp of the entire Bible, OF
each set of books and of each individual
book. Haphazard, spasmodic reading
will not give us a good working knowl'
edge of the Bible.
2. Teach the Bible Moses command
ed the parents to teach it 10 the chill
dren. 1t should still be taught, not only
in the Sabbath school, but also In tho
home. Home teaching is too often neg
lected. The Sabbath school has too
often taken the place of the home II
this respect This should not be. Chris
tan parents should not leave the edu
cation of their children in Gods wore
TO others. The Bible should also b
taught as text book III our college
, , and public schools.
3. Think of the Bible. The truth
taught in Gods word should be medl
tated upon To read lightly and care
! lessly is not sufficient. We must med
$ fate upon what we read until it become
n a very part of us. Better few verses
k day with much thought than larger po
tions with no thought or meditation NJ
on them.
i, 4. Converse about the Bible. Conve
n sation with others about the truths
{ Gods word is one of the best ways
i. enriching our minds in these etern
r truths.
n 8. Live by the Bible. 1t should
'e the rule of our lives. If we put
~ truths into practice, then and the
so only will we get the most out OF 1t.
rs have Gods word i'll the mind and hes
ce is not enough. 1t must also be In

bsobbishness the Cause OF Society's Rude
ness-The Steady Improvement.
No doubt manners just now appear IN
bo growing rougher and ruder Ii is,
however, merely "a conventional and not u
real roughness and rudeness and the rea-
son for II Is plain. The manners of the up
per classes in England are putting on u
veneer OF roughness, are adopting the use
Of "rustication," to employ the archtec-
tural phrase, for the same reason that So
ciety Is always changing or tending to
change its place Of meeting In the park.
That reason Ii the desire to get away, to
keep separate from the herd. The smart
people gave up being formally polite and
making bows and graceful inclinations
Of assent when the middle class grew
polite and shopboys and shopgirls adopt
| ed the etiquette of the old regime. When
/ the manners of those below them In the so
| cial scale became thoroughly polite, the
| only way Of escape was the adoption OF
/ self conscious roughness. IL became the
right thing to say, May have dancer"
| In Mayfair, because at middle class balls n
beautiful bow and formal demand had
become the fashion.
Society is only apparently unmannerly
because IL is trying to dodge its humber
followers and arrange set OF conventions
which will not be pirated. As soon, how
ever, as it's retreat is discovered it will
have to find new device. Then, In all
probability, we shall see reaction I'm favor
OF formality ard our young men and
| maidens will bow and simper and pass
formal compliments after the manner of the
eighteenth century. But, after ALL these
things are only externals, and really mat
ter very little. The main fact Is that ON
manners I'm essentials are growing less
not more, rough. II we take the wider view
OF the social situation, we shall see tha
| men are less, not more, disagreeable thai
they used to he. Let any one who doubt
this compare the way men treat each othe
when alone to the way in which they acte'

JINGLE SANS GREAT SEAL.
4, " as Designed by "A British Subject over
n Hundred Years Ago.

The great seal Of the United States Ia OF
peculiar interest from the fact that 10 is
possibly the only one in the world that
was designed for IA government by the SUD
ject of an opposing government. we owe
our coat of arms 10 Sir John Prestwich,
baronet of the west of England, who was
warm friend of America and an accom-
plished antiquarian. His admiration for
Washington undoubtedly influenced his
design, as the Washington arms are rather
similar To our seal. Originally the selec-
ton of the seal was left to committee APP
pointed by congress and composed OF Ben
iamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson, and they employed French
West Indian named Du Sinitiero not only
to furnish designs but To sketch such de-
signs as were suggested by themselves, In
one OF his drawings the artist displayed on
a shield the armorial ensigns of the several
nations whence America had been peoplcd,
| embracing those of England, Scotiahu
| France, Germany and Holland.
After several other committees had vain
| " tried To perfect seal which should meet
| the opnroyal of congress Charles Thomp-
son. its secretary, several years later, re-
| eeiyed from John Adams, then in London,
an exceedingly simple and appropriate de-
| vice suggested by Sir John Prestwich. IL
consisted of an escutcheon bearing IL per
pendicular stripes, white and red, witt
field blue, and spangled with l3 stars, ana
| TO give it great consequence, he proposed
| placing on it the breast of an American
| eagle without supporters, as emblematica
| of self reliance. At last this met with gen
eral approval in and out of congress an'
| was adopted in June, 1852. So 1t is mani
