GRAIN GOSSIP.

Gossip by private wire to C. n. r Smith
d Co., St. Paul, members Of the New York
stock exchange and Chicago board of trade:
Modern Miller: Wheat in the Western
snow yesterday In the Miss 'hippi and Ohio,
valley the tender plant was put to the test
or hard freeze which could not benefit it
any and doubtless injured it to soma exl
tent. The plant has had a very rank growth
and Is very tender. Its true condition will
not be known until after a thaW. The four
trade in the East and abroad has shown inn
provement, while in the South and on the
Pacific coast business was inclined to dull
ness, and the volume transacted was small.
Feedstuf1s including spot corn, continue in
brisk demand.
London-Wheat, off coast, nothing doing:
on passage, buyers and sellers apart Corn,
off coast, nothing doing; on passage rather
easier. Paris steady; December, &c higher:
January, zoe higher December flour &c low
er; January, unchanged. French country mar
kets steady.
Since July 1 to Nov. 20 the receipts of
wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth have been
70, 800 600 blu, and for the same time last year
they were &c. 900 blu, and in 1895 73, 400 900
bu. Considering the incentive to ship wheat
to terminal points on account OF the premium
for cash, the above showing is not so bearish
as would seem to be the case with the talk
there has been of the large Northwestern re-
ceipts.

THE ESSENCE OF cHRIsrLrSEss.

The art OF photography Is now so perfect
that the whole side OF great newspaper
can be taken in miniature 50 small as to be
carried in little pin or button, and yet
every letter and point be perfect. SO tho
whole life Of Christ is photographed in one
little phrase-''not to be ministered unto.
but to minister" He came not to be
served-if this had been His aim He would
never have left heavens glory, where
He wanted nothing, where angels praised Him
and ministered unto Him. He came to
serve. He went about doing good. He al
together forgot Himself. He served all He
met who would receive His service. At
last He gave His life In uttermost service
giving 1t a ransom for others. He came
not to be ministered unto. but to minister.
You say you want to be like Christ. You
pray Him to print His own image on your
heart. Here, then. is the image. II Is no
vague dream OF perfection that we arc to
think of when we ask to be made like
Christ. The old monks thought that they
we're In the way to become like Christ when
they went into the wilderness, away from
men. to live in cold cells or on tall columns.
But that is not the thought which this pic
ture suggests. ITO minister is the
Christlike thing. Instead Of fleeing away
from the world we are to live among men,
20 serve them. to seek to bless them, to do
them good. to give our life for them.-J. Il.

JESUS INSISTS on OBEDIENCE.

Obedience is everything in Christian
life. We are told that without faith it is i'm
possible to please God. but faith can usually
be spelled o-b-e-d-i-c-n-c-e. Obedience is
necessary always to prove our faith. Faith,
without works, is dead" Some people
think that believing q sound creed makes
one religious. But Jesus insists on obe-
dience. He says that mere hearing His
words without doing them is building on
sand. and that all who build on such a foun-
dation will be swept away when the floods
come. Crceds arc important. We must
have true beliefs about God and His truth
but no matter how right our crceds are, IL
we do not follow Christ and do His will. all
our beautiful religion will be but SNOWY
house built ON the sand which some day will
be carried away in lifes floods. Forward.

last glimpse of that which enshrined the
loved one, hidden from sight. with pale lips
and breaking heart you asked once more,
"lt man die, shall he live again?" What
proof have we, what evidences 1.-THE dead are
not dead, but alive?' May not immortality
be. after all. only IN beautiful dream" only
"a lofty aspiration Of the human heart,
doomed to disappointment? Generation
after generation has come and gone. but
not one Of the myriads who have passed
into the silent land has ever been permitted
to return and tell us the great secret that
lies beyond the grave. But through all that
deep. unbroken silence Of ages. men and
women have never lost their faith in Il fu-
ture life. In every age, in every country.
men and women have had some belief in "a
life beyond the grave.--Rev. S. q. Fielding.
