Spiritual Fruit.

TIE graces impaired to the believer
by the Holy Gnost are compared to
fruit.
Like fruit, they are lucious, attrac-
tive, and valuable.
Like fruit, there is a great diversity
among them. As canned fruit will
spoil if air remains in the can, so these
fruits are endangered by inbred sin in
the heart.
Like fruit they are destroyed by frost.
WorIdliness will blight them in the
bud. A whole Church garden of the
Spirits fruits is often frost bitten by a
worldly entertainment.
As with fruit, good fruit can come
only from a good tree.
Like fruit, it grows not for the bene
fit of the tree or the satisfaction of it
self, but to bless others and enrich it's
owner aud maker.
Like fruit, they grow and ripen, not
as the result OF a struggle to do so, but
as the result of the tree meeting the
conditions Of it's being,
The nature of the fruit determines
the character of the tree.
Satan hates these fruits and does all
he can TO destroy them.

FanatiCism.

Under it's influence, persons have be-
lieved that they were God Himself.
Another mar killed all his bees be
cause they worked on Sunday.
One Of it's most dangerous forms is
where people accuse all others of it who
differ from themselves is Judgment, or
whose leadings are different from their
own. No one can fully follow the
Spirit and Word of God and be a ia
natic.
Howbeit, all who do this will likely
be charged with so being by world
lings and misguided professors.
It's cure is a heart full of perfect love
and a head full of solid Scripture truth
and sound sense.
A nominal professor is in as much
danger of fanaticism as a polar bear on
an Attic iceburg is of sunstroke.

AN EMBEzzLER SENTENCED.
Ex-Treasurer Morrison Gets Ten Years
and Five Months"A Prominent Man.

Troy, N. Y, Nov. 1O.-In the Su-
preme Court this afternoon ex-County
Treasurer G8orge n. Morrison was
sentenced to ten years and five months
imprisonment on his plea of guilty to
charges Of embezzling funds of the
county.
Mr.. Morrison prior to the first week
IN October, was treasurer Of Renssael-
Ter county. Immediately after the
closing of the doors of the National
Bank Of Troy, of which he was cashier,
rumors affecting the solvency of Mr..
Morrison and the management Of the
county tr~easurership became prevalent.
He subs Iently transferred to his
bondsmen all his real and personal
property, valued at about 500, 900, On
the day of the transfer MI. Morrison
was taken into custody on a warrant
charging grand larceny in misappro-
priating about $50, 900 due the city of
Troy, for money collected under the
R2ines law. H. was baiied on this
charge, the bond being $40, 900. Adey
o. two later SIS a result Of Investigation
Of the county treasurer's accounts by
the B lard of Supervisors, he was again
arrested on a charge Of grand larceny
in misappropriating about $3.50, 600 Of
county funds. He was indicted by a
grand jury two weeks ago, and his
trial was begun to day, and seven
jurors had been obtained when court
adi burned for the noon recess.
For a day or two rumors has been
current that he would plead guilty, and
al the opening of court this afternoon,
this course was taken.
The specific Indictment on which he
%vos sentenced was for refusing TIC pay
his successor as county treasurer two
distinct sums of county money.
Mr.. Morrison is forty-s six years old,
and has always lived in Troy. He is a
member of the Rensselaer, county bar,
and has been prominent in manufac-

A Ministry of Exposition.

have tried to make my ministry a
ministry of exposition of Scripture. 7
know it has fallen in many respects.
but | will say that I have ~endeavored
from the beginning to the end to make
that the characteristic of ali my pub.
lie work. And I have tried to preach
Jesus Christ, and the Jesus Christ not
of the gospels only, but the Christ of
the gospels and the epistles; He is the
same Christ. I believe that the one
thing the world needs is redemption,
the power of the Gospel on the indi-
vidual soul; and that men know they
need it. Dr.. Johnson once said in his
wise way, Nothing odd LASTS" and I
believe that, too. Nothing odd lasts,
but Christ lasts, and mems sins last,
and mems needs last; and we must
preach Christ and Hun crucif I'd, the
Saviour of mankind. And I have tried
to preach Christ as if l believed in
Him, not as if l had hesitations and
peradventures and limitations. And
I have tried to preach Him as if I lived
on Him; and at the bottom of it all,
we thall ourselves feed on the truth
that we proclaim to others.-Dr. Mac
laren.

Fanaticism.

Fanaticism is defined by Webster as
"WiId and extravagant notions in re-
Iigion."
It is a crazy child. The name of its
mother is imagination; it's father, i'm
pulse. It's most congenial CLINE is the
land where imagination takes the place
of Scripture, reason, and providence.
It is a disease which manifests itself
in many forms.
A seeker after holiness last summer
imagined he would receive it if he
would embrace the person kneeling at
his side. Had ne have done it, it would
have created a seem and a scandal.

AMoNRY-MAKER IN HARD TIMES

have for the past five years had a
pretty hard struggle to make a living,
but about three months ago I began
selling Self Heating Flat irons and
have. made from 81 to S. every day,
which I think is pretty good for al in
experienced woman Ny brother is
now selling irors and makes more
money than l do, but he has sold other
things and is more experienced. The
iron is self-heating, so it is the proper
heat all the time; and you can iron in
half the time you commonly do and
have the clothes much nicer. You can
iron out under a tree OF in any cool
place. and one CENTS worth of bsnzine
will do an ordinary ironing, so you
save the price OF the iron in fuel IN a
few weeks. By addressing w. Fl.
Baird 6 Co., 14O South Highland Ave {,
Station A, Pittsburgh, Pa, you can
get full particulars, and | know any
one can do splendidly anywhere. We
sell al nearly every house, and every
woman that irons once with a Self.
Heating iron will have one, as it saves
80 much labor and does go much better
work. MRS. M. B.

The Gospel AK

God compares the stern truths of
His gospel to en ak. (3ee Matt, 81
Like an ak, they are sharp-'sharper
than any two edged sword"
Like an ak, they are powerless TN
less welded by some one. They must
be used by gospel ministers, and kept
sharp by spiritual electricity fowing
through them into the Ak.
The ak must strike the root of the
tree of sin, or they will not be killed.
