THE GOSPEL OF LOVE.

Love worketh no harm 70 MS
neighbor, = said the great apostle and
this is ruesaying worthy OF all accep.
tation. God is love, and the gospel
of Jesus Christ is the gospel of love,
the gospel of humanity. From
Christ's own lips we have it that the
greatest commandment in the law IS
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul. and with all thy mind" The
second great commandment Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
A great many good people believe
in the first commandment aud act on
it very faithfully They are so absorbed
in the love of God that they have no
time to devote to any of His creatures.
They love God with perfect and
unfathomable love, principally be-
cause He does not seem to demand
anything in return save the formal
alteration. the remembrance at prayer
and in church and a Sunday glance at
the Scriptures.
They love themselves also, and
with fevor almost, if not quite. equal
to that which they bestow upon God !;
and SO deep is that love that they see
their neighbors only when they look
into their own mirrors. They love
their bodies so much that, while they
clothe them in the richest garments,
they cannot see their poor neighbor
shivering in his rags and vainly beg
ging for some cast-off clothing
They love their stomachs so much,
and fill them SO full of good things
that their eyes become dim and they
cannot see Lazarus struggling with
the dogs for the few crumbs that may
fall from the table.
They love their own virtuous safety
so much that they cannot see the pale,
repentant Magdaen COUGHING before
the mob ready to stone her to death.
They love their own homes so we'll
that they catch no glimpse of the Son
of Man wandering over the earth,
homeless, friendless and with nowhere
to lay his hesd.
What blessed. happy world this
would be if good people would observe
the second commandment that Christ
gave them as closely as they do the
first Then the money-c changers would
no longer defile the temple and ped
dlers no longer would cry their wares
from the hill Of Calvary.
Then the garden OF Gethsemane
would be full of roses and those who
walked therein would rejoice with a
great joy instead of weeping with a
great grief.
Then the dead W ould be nursed TO
life instead of being buried beyond
any possible hope of resurrection.
Then the lame would walk instead
of stumbling along rocky ways and
falling down in despair all the time.
Then the blind would see and the
deaf hear; the roses would be no long
er hid nor the music fall upon insen
safe ears.
To love thy neighbor as thyself is
indeed to be worthy Of the God whom
you love, but to love only myself is
to pierce anew the wounded side of the
dying Christ.
Love of God that does not include
love of thy neighbor is not acceptable
to God, and no amount of devotion or
alteration will avail at the high court
OF heaven unless it is sancti6ed and
made sweet by the broadcast and most
unselhsh love and charity towards thy
neighbor. New York Advertiser.

HABIT.

Habit is indeed the corner stone of
character, and the molding of a good
character depends upon our habits.
We all know that bad habits, like
deep-rooted weeds, when once permit
ted to grow are very hard to extermi-
nate, and even after we think they are
overcome, we must ever be on the
watch lest here or there an evil seed
has been dropped, which may spring
up and bear an odious influence or
leave sullied faint upon mind and
heart
We carry, SO to speak, bundle Of
habits through life, bound together
good, Indifferent or bad, but it is our
privilege to draw from this bundle and
throw away all the ugly and vicious,
the irregular, misshapen ones, and in
their place cultivate ennobling, beau
tifying habits, that tend to make life
useful and blessing to US and others.
No wonder so many complain of
life's burdens being heavy to bear,
when they are carrying with them
grievous, vexing habits that ought to
be cast away and thus Tighten the
weight of earthly trials.
No life can be complete success,
whose character is environed with I'M
certain, unreliable habits. The young
man or woman with careless don t-care
habits can scarcely hope to secure rec
ognition as an indispensable" in the
prompt, reliable circles of the day,
and it is indeed bad sight to see
those of young and tender years, form
ing habits that will prove disastrous,
not only stunning the body and mind
physically and mentally, but morally

New England League.

The New England League will open its
campaign. Friday. May |. with what is
believed by many 10 be the strongest or
ganiZation the league has ever had.
Every manager has put his best foot for
ward to place a strong team III the field.
one of the best backed teams is that of
Bangor. Manager Long has received
carte blanche orders to secure the best
team in the organization. and the club
signed by him should make great show
ing. His greatest coup was made when
he secured w. II. fYalel Murphy to cap
tain the team. Murphy has had plenty
of experience as 4 handler of men. and
he should get all the work possible out OF
his players. Roach played great ball last
season and should he as good a backstop
as there is in the organization. The club
has Tom O'Brien on first. Bobby" Moore
on second, Al Moore on third. and Muir
ply at short-an infield hard to excel. In
the outfield there are Simons Sharrott
and Cunningham for pitchers Wheeler
Graham. Gildea, McDonough and Mullen
and Roach and Hayes as catchers.
Augusta has Il lively lot of youngsters
who. its manager thinks, will be in the
race from start to finish.
Manager Burnham has left no stone I'M
turned to make a fine showing with
Brockton. and the game the club has put
up on the trip shows it is the club well
worthy of support.
Manager Marston in Fan River has a
very strong team, and in batteries is es-
pecialiy reliable.
Manager Garrity has a lighting team in
Lewiston. He has figured out the PEN
nant for his club.
Pawtucket, New Bedford and Portland
all have well balanced teams. The inter-
est in all of the cities is at fever heat.

THE AMERICAS CUP.
Reported That Two Challenges This Year Are
Not improbable.

New Yory. April 19.-The cable des-
patch in the Herald of yesterday, from
London, containing the Fields an
nouncement that two challenges for the
Americas cup are afoot. caused some
discussion among members of the New
Yory Yacht Club None of the gentle
men spoken to knew anything of 4
definite nature, but they admitted that
foI some time the feeling has existed
that a challenge for the cup would
likely be received by the club during the
summer.
They We're sure that another attempt
would soon be made for the trophy.
and without attaching much import
ance 10 the stories regarding the pos
shility Of the German Empor's new
Meteor becoming the challenging yacht,
We're of the opinion that something was
being done on the other side in the mat
ter of preparing for a match.
1t was also said that if a challenge
was received. it would no doubt be from
q big cutter, and more than one hint
was made that the increased speed
shown by the Ailsa in the Mediterran-
can reGattas may be responsible for
the rumor regarding one of the talked
of challenges.

1T is thought to have caught in shed
in the rear as when discovered. the fire
had made greatest progress in that
part. Mrs. Fuller thinks that tramps
may have been the cause. as she has
suspected that they sometimes sleep in
the shed.
The fire was discovered by Mrs. Full
lers little daughter Hattie. who cried
out that she was being suffocated. The
former aroused her little boy, and the
three managed to get out, but saved
none of their clothes. Mrs. Fuller says

THE YALE CREW.
The Men to Represent Varsity at Henley
Practically Settled Upon.

New Haven, CT, April 1.-THE last 10
days have been important ones in the
development of the Varsity crew that is
TO represent Yale at Henley in July Mr..
Robert j. Cook has been here for two
short visits. and Captain Treadway has
succeeded in getting the oarsmen into the
racing shell. This change is always an
important one, as it marks the final
placing of the men in the positions in
which they row. either as regular mem
bers of the eight or as substituts
Captain Treadway's choice for the
make up of the first eight was as fol-
lows: Stroke Langford No :, Tread
way. (captain); No. 6, Longacre; No. s.
Bailey: No. 4. Rodgers; No. g. Beard :
No. 2. Brown: bow. Simpson. These
eight men have been measured according
to the customary metods. and the rigging
of the shell has been adjusted to suit
their physical proportions.
The general impression is that there is
not likely to be any change made in the
boat unless it be either No. or at bow.
There is considerable speculation regard
ing these two positions, and no one is vet
certain as to who will finally fill them,
The feeling is unanimous that the first
six men in the boat have been finally de-
cded upon. and that there will be no
| change of any of these positions, unless
some of the men meet with some accident
or sickness.
