OOings of the Day.

If the taxpayers Of Minnesota had
been witnesses of the antics of the
senate yesterday afternoon, they would
- have kicked themselves, not perhaps,
that the senators were so intent on
adjourning, but that they were so thinly
able to disguise their indolent motives.
In session scarcely an hour,
the only action taken on any bill in
any sense final was the indefinite post
pOnement of one measure on motion
of its author, who had concluded that
he had made a mistake, perhaps, in
standing sponsor for it.
1t was the thinnest disguise yet The
judiciary committee asked that the
senate remain in session at least until
o'clock, so that the members of that
committee need not waste the time up
to the hour Of the hearing set for the
Whitney bill, but it was of no use.
The senators did not want to work
and they did not work.
When President Pro Tenn. Barr called

Senator Whitney asks that $4,000 be
appropriated to drain land in Aitkin
Carlton and Itasca counties and that

A bill requiring the transcript Of oral

for messenger: Whom shall | send
who will go for us?" and Isaiah answered.
Here am !; send me-" God had a mes
sage to be borne, and the prophet, refined
by fire, was ready to bear it, We don't
propose to consider all the wonders III
this vision, but to look at this single
thought, that individual Christians and the
church have need OF being refined by fire,
to be a power in the world. one of the
qualifications which the church needs for
the accomplishment OF her work Is thc
true spirit of missions.
The work Is to preach the gospel OF
missionary claims in all its truth and
power, until all become Illuminated with
the light of love- and energiZed with tho
life of God; until the whole processing
Christian church shall become conformod
to the will and image of Him who loved
the church, and gave himself for 1t that
He might sanctify and cleanse it, and
present it to himself glorious church,
without spot or wrinkle. The work Is.
secondly, to spread a living missionary
truth, until every nation and kindred ana
tongue shall fear God, and give glory TO
Him
The world was never in a better state
for the reception of the gospel. The
heather intellect Is waking uD. and every

Susted with their idols they are stretch
ING IOGln lnelT ndINS unto us IOf nein.
The men are in readiness to go; the money
Is in the hands of the church-all that
she needs to evangelize the world. why,
then, is the angel OF mercy hindered?
All that we ask to accomplish the great
ends for which the church has been
founded and preserved is, that the means
squandered by professed Christians should
be thrown into the treasury OF the Lord.
WHAT THE WORK NEEDS.
The missionary work needs living
breathing. faithful, inspiring men and
women who count not their lives dear
unto them, and who sing and shout with
conscious certainty of triumph. l have
referred to the magnitude of the work
ana the difficulties to be overcome, not to
battle the courage or abate the ardor of
the feeblest disciple of Christ, but that
the church Of God may gird herself in pro-
portion to the greatness of the mission
ary work, and the difficulties that stand
in the way of its performance.
In the face of difficulties like these we
see that the church, like Isaiah, must be
refined with fire to accomplish her work
for the cause of missions May we all
have the missionary spirit in truth, ac-
tion and sacrifice.

very rare and costly ointment 1t was
at the lavish use of this valuable ar
ticle of commerce that Judas directed
the interrugative remark.
Mr.. Trusty, in his comments on the
theme, drew forth many valuable les
sons, and pictured the meekness, the
humility and alteration of the woman
who thus publicly exhibited her faith
in Jesus.
Her example," he said, has been
handed down through generations; her
act was as a monument OF marble
that will live in the hearts of men to
the end of this dispensation.
"A religion that costs us nothing Is
worth nothing. There is valuable
example in the rich young ruler who
came to Christ and questioned the
Savior as to what he should do to be
saved. This young man had obeyed
the commandments since childhood,
but when told by the Lord Jesus to
sell all he had and give to the poor
and to take up his cross and follow
his master. he went home surrowing.

Spirit of Missions" His Introductory
remarks We're based upon the interde-
nominational missionary rally at Elm
Park church, last Wednesday night.
Such coming together of Christians
of almost every denomination of
Scranton, he said, is in keeping with
the true spirit of brotherly love, and
the result of that rally will be more
Christian love, more light, more activ-
ity, and more money for the cause of
missions, both home and foreign Con-
tnuing he said in part:
The text is an account of a very re-
markable occurrence, intended to desig-
nate Isaiah to the prophetic office The
whole is representative of the majesty
and holiness of the Divine Being in whose
presence seraphim covered their faces in
token of conscious insignificance and uu-
worthiness, and cried out in responsive
plaudits, Holy, holy, holy! Lord God of
hosts!' A view of God produced in the
mind of the prophet such a sense of his
| own detilement that he took up the affect
ing confessions Woe is mel for am un-
done; because | am man of unclean
| lips and | dwell in the midst of a people
of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen
| the King, the Lord of hosts" This deep
| conviction of impurity was followed by
| the symbolic application of a live coal
| from the altar to his lips by one of the
| seraphim, who also said to him: 10.
| this hath touched thy lips, and thine
| iniquity Is taken away, and thy sin
purged.'
