Westminster League.

Last Wednesday evenings exer-
cises in the Presbyterian Westmin-
lister League were unusually inter-
esting. This occasion was the
induction into Office of the newly
elected officers. Mr.. G S. Hamill,
the outgoing president, made an
encouraging address, reviewing the
steady progress and usefulness of
the League. He then administered
the pledge of office to the incoming
president, Mr.. VIM. A. Daily, which
was followed with carefully pre-
pared and valuable speech by Mr..
Daily. So appreciative was the
League of Mr.. Daily's speech that
they shsreupon unanimously passed
vote Of thanks. The new presi-
dent then with the formal pledge
inducted the other newly elected
officers into Office.

Lincoln's Birthday.


The anniversary of the birth of
Abraham Lincoln will fall upon
the 18th inst. The occasion will
be taken advantage of by The Phil
adelphia Sunday Press Of the 9th
inst. to spread abroad a lesson in
patriotism which cannot fail to be
wholesome. On that day The Press
will publish much interesting mat
ter concerning the life of the Great
Emancipator that has not hitherto
been printed. Speaker Reed has
lent his aid and will contribute an
estimate Of Lincoln's character
which is certain to be entertaining
and instructive. Each reader of
THE Sunday Press of the 18th will
also receive splendid portrait of
Lincoln done in oil.
Following out the same idea, all
readers of THE Sunday Press on the
10th Will receive picture of
"Washington Crossing the Della
ware" and on the 23d apicture of
the new battleship philadelphia. .
The pictures for the 10th and 23d
will be on cards so arranged that
the figures can be cut out. The
effect will be an actual portrayal of
Washlngton's famous adventure

rhe Good Old rimss.

1t is quite natural for elderly people
to think that the times which are gone
by, and which they alone remember,
were more interesting and notable than
the times which are passing now. The
passage of years tends to efface from
the mind the merely commonplace oc-
currences of every day, and leave only
the salient ones; SO that past years are
really the more remarkable in our mem
ories. This is one reason why people
speak of severe weather as "old-fash-
ioned." On the whole, the weather does
not vary 50 much from one decade to
another; but people remember the Sc
we're weather and forget the ordinary.
so that to the mind weather of the past
is extreme weather. But the valuation
placed on old things may be excessive
-as, for instance. in the case Of q
remark made by an old gentleman to
his nephew. Twenty degrees below
zero!" he said. "What does that amount
to? Why, can remember =
day, when I was 20 years old.
that the mercury was 10 degrees below
zero; and you must remember that one
degree then was as good as two nova
days!" This reminds one of the phil
osophy of the Irishman regarding the
difference between the days in Ireland
ond America. "Ah," he said, ''the days
is twice as long in the ould country
as here-and there's twice Is many OF
them!"-Youth's Companion.
