Darkness all illuminated. God recon
ciled. The prodigal home. 'Put a
ring on his hand"
Every day l find happy Christian
people. / find some of them with no
second coat, some of them in huts and
tenement houses, not one earthly COM
fort afforded them; and yet they are
as happy as happy can be. They sing
Rock of Ages" as no other people in the
world sing it. They never wore any
1ewelry in their life but one gold ring,
and that was the ring of God S undying
affection. Oh, how happy religion
makes us! Did it make you gloomy
and sad? Did you go with your head
cast down? l do not think you got re-
ligion, my brother. That is not the eff
feet of religion. True religion is a
JOY. Her ways are ways of pleasant
ness, and all her paths are peace"
Why, religion lightens all our bur-
dens. 1t interprets all our sorrows.
1t changes the jar of earthly discord
for the peal of fcstal bells. In front of
the flaming furnace of trial it sets the
forge on which scepters are hammered
out. Would you not like this hour
to up from the swine-feeding and try
this religion? All the joys of Heaven
would come out and meet you, and God
would cry from the throne: put a
ring on his hand"
You are not happy. see It. There
is no peace, and sometimes you laugh
when you feel great deal mere like
crying. The world Is cheat. Jtfi-a.

were frustrated in the attempt by the

Ohio Legislators Object to Having
Their View Obstructed at Theaters.
Representative Phil Fosdick of Cincinnati
is the happest man in Columbus. says a
Columbus, Ohio, special to the Philadelphia
Press. His bill regulating the wearing of
hats by ladies in places Of public amuse-
ment has passed the lower branch of the
general assembly, and he has every reason
to believe that it will receive the approval
of the senate at the proper time.
1t is true that the bill was considerably
amended, but the new features added to the
measure by the amendment OF Representa-
tive Bosler of Dayton added to the popu-
larity of the bill without destroying any Of
its efficiency, and was the means of saving
it from defeat. The amendment merely
makes it the duty of the theatrical man
ayers to see to it that his patrons do not
wear hats that will obstruct the view of
others in the audience, and makes it a mis-
demeanor for him not to enforce the pro-
visions of the bill
1t was hard-fought battle for the bill,
but Mr.. Fosdick stuck to the foe, and after
the bill had once failed, secured recon-
sideration and the passage of the measure
"hch both he ana his theater-loving
wife have had SO much at heart
The announcement that the bill was I'M
served to crowd the floor with members of
the senate, state officers and clerks from
the various departments. There was also
bright show of colors in the ladies' gal
lery, and great deal of applause with
gloved hands as a point was gained for or
against the measure. Mrs. Fostfick, the real
author of the measure, sat with a bevy of
Cincinnati girls in the members gallery,
and the little cOterie was noticeable because
all the ladies appeared without hats. out of
respect for the author and as an evidence
OF their support of the measure.
