by large audiences
About year ago he abandoned the
rostrum and returned to the pulpit,
taking charge of the Montreal congrega-
ton previously mentioned.
Ever since the resignation OF Rabbi
Fryer the congregation of the Bush-street
temple has been quietly on the Lookout
for a spiritual instructor for their syna-
gogue, and when reports of Rabbi Myers
abilities reach them negotiations were
opened with him. After considerable cor
respondence satisfactory agreement was
reached, and his formal election for a
term of one year will take place at the
meeting OF the board OF trustees to-
morrow.
In recent letter received from Rabbi
Myers he stated that he was born wife
less, but intimated that he was IN utici-
patton OF shortly changing his lonely con-
dltlon by taking unto himself as wife
the daughter of a iellow-rabb 1t is
therefore highly probable that his journey
from far-off Montreal to the shores OF
the Golden West will partake of the char

After.DInner Maps.

There is quite difference of opin-
ion among recognized authorities as
to the usefulness of the after-dinner
nap. Some of these people claim
that the merest dropping off to sleep
is much better than the heavy, un-
disturbed repose in which SOME tenn
peraments seem inclined to indulge.
In this matter, as in almost every
thing else in the world, difference in
constitution, condition and circum-
stances is lost sight Of. AS a general
rule, it may be said that whoever falls
asleep and sleeps long and heavily
does so because the system has need
of that sort of rest. Sleep is a COM
modify that does not come by will
but on the most imperative demand
of nature. People who work hard.
either mentally or physically, who
are in any way overtaxed or exhaust
ed by effort of any kind, must in
some way restore the nervous balance,
and in no way is this so readily and
satisfactorily done as by long contin-
ued and undisturbed sleep, if the in
dividual can indulge in it.
There are few things more coveted
than the ability to sleep quietly and
naturally, and it is very rare indeed
that one gets LOO much of this kind of
repose.
TO be sure, there are persons of
sluggish habit and people who are
given to over indulgence at the table
which is productive of inaction and
an almost continuous sleepy condi-
ton, but these are exceptions rather
than the rule. The masses of people
sleep too little, and it is scarcely
worth while, save in exceptional
cases, to curtail the hours that nature
demands for this most efficient means
of restoration. Above all things
should children and young persons,
those under twenty especially, be
given all the opportunity consistent
with their occupation and education
for untroubled sleep. The fact that
nature demands a thing is most ex-
calent reason for granting it. Forty
winks" may do very we'll for some
tsmperaments, but it is by no means
to be recommended to persons who
are in any degree weary or overwork-
ed.

Use every opportunity of humbling
yourself before your fellow men as q
help to abide humble before God.
We do not get enough spiritual help
all at once to last US forever. 1t is
gradual, and we must look for it con-
stantly.
Sink every morning in deep moth
ingness into the grave of Jesus; every
day the life of Jesus will be manifest
in thee.
Don't pray "Thy kingdom come"
unless you are willing to obey John.
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord and
make His paths straight"
All lack of love, all indifference to
others, all sharp. hasty judgments, all
temper, LONELINESS and irritation, all
bitterness and estrangment, have their
root in pride.
The happiness of life depends very
much on little things; and one can be
brave and great and good while max
ing small sacrifices and doing small du-
ties faithfully and cheerfully.
lfyou cannot pray over thing, and
cannot ask God to bless you in it, don't
do that thing. A secret that you
would keep from God is secret that
you should keep from your own heart.

of those who profess holiness.
Humility is the displacement of self
and the enthronement of God.
