 LABOR--The noblest thing in the uni verse is honest labor. It is the pres ervative principle of the world. Labor raises cities, adorns the earth and beau tifies with works of art; whitens the sea with wings of commerce: binds conti- nents together by the means of telegraph; extinguishes barbarian and plants civil ization upon it's ruins. Thank God for a nation of workingmen.-Rev. G. O. Bac- chus. Methodist, Washington, D. c.
 FAITH IN MANKIND-Men today are practically infidels in their faith in their fellowman, and it is one of the worst ten- dencies in human nature. The lowest human being seemed to Christ the image of God. The basic thought of the saliva tion of the world is that we must believe in mankind. Men in this world, no mat ter how degraded, do not lose their hope for power and better lives.-Rev. J. A. Chamberlain, Congregationalist, Newark, N. J.
 CHRISTIAN HEROISM-It is not by never failing that we rise, but by rising higher every time we fail, making our failures the stepping stones to higher ef fort. There are duties all along the Christians course to be performed which require heroic effort. Going round the base will never take men up to those mountain heights which open up a mag nificent outlook upon nature and its beau ties--Rev. J. c. Bowers, Lutheran. WAGhiRUf0n lT

citation, and expresses the hope tn at this
sem%i-centennial gear may be signalized
by special offerings in support of the
great work OF the a. NJ. a. among the
neglected millions Of our country. The
occurrence of the Lincoln Memorial Day
furnishes a specially appropriate occasion
for calling attention to the work OF the
association and TO the great burden of
debt now resting upon it. The work among
the regroes must always be associated
with the name of Abraham Lincoln, who
lifted them from slavery into freedom
and gave his life a willing sacrifice to the
cause OF their Liberation and the salvation
OF our country. Abraham Lincoln was
born on the edge OF the great region &C.

head-on, had backed of with ttse aid nj
her propellers, she anchored outside until

appears TO be the reason for the st. Paul's
going ashore. This explains also why the
Campania of the Cunard line came very
near getting into the same trouble as her
rival.
Captain Jameson OF the St Paul says
he was not racing, but his officers and
many OF the passengers say he was, and
the captain of tho Campania admits the
fact that within a few miles at least OF the
treacherous Jersey shore, In n dense fog,
two big steamship s, filled with human be-

We ought never to grow weary in

They know unerringly the very day

mature, they are never belated. They
are as methodical as the woodpeck-

the precise day of their return. Shop

istence of these physical phenomena,
and they expose their wares accord
