Therefore, my friends, is it not bet
ter for us to live in thought and deed,
that no stain may rest upon the record
Of our present incarnation, to place
high our standard of excellence and so
conduct ourselves as to gain the re-.
spect of God and men. 10 have lofty
ideas of morality, to breathe pure So
cial atmosphere, to cultivate our intel
lectual and spiritual faculties, to help
the fallen and soothe the sorrows of

stones to the region whence comes di-
vine light. To place ourselves in har-
mony with the laws of the universe,
we must correct the errors of material
existence, bearing in mind that all
earthly beauty and pleasure are tran
sient and only the radiant glory of the
triumphant Soul remains and lives for
ever. GERTRUDE GREWE.

NEGLECT.

Neglect is simple but impressive
word; and how often it has been en-
twined in various ways through many
of our lives. When first we saw the
light of day, the one who gave us birth
did not neglect to nurse us with all
that tenderness and care which only
mothers love can supply; and through
out the years of our infancy it was the
fondest wish of our parents to bring us
through all it's periLOus vicissitudes
with kindness and purity. w hen-Me.
arrived at the proper age to receive the
instructions and moral training requi-
site to carry us through life, then it
was that we ourselves brought neglect
into conspicuous prominence. We
neglected to receive the education and
moral culture so freely offered us for
our future benefit. We neglected to
listen to paternal warnings given us as
to the various pitfalls and obstructlons
we should meet in journeying through
this world; and when the time arrived
for us to launch out on life'S tempes-
tuOus sea, we set all our sails and went
out triumphantly. But alas, in conse-
quence of our neglect at school, and
neglect of our parents teachings at
home, our compasses were not adjusted
to meet the requirements of such a
perilous voyage, and the inevitable re-
suit was an irredeemable wreck.
The dismantled ship is now in the
hands of receiver, and it will take
long life of repentance and industry to
build up that ill-fated vessel to its
former self. Time can never obliter-
ate the shame of ill-spent lives, but it
is to be hoped we will all embrace the
many opportunities offered us in these
days of Christian progress, and en-
deavor to bring our shattered wrecks
into the harbOr of repentance, whose
beacon is the countenance of Him who
died for us all, and is ever ready to re.
ceive the penitent sinner.
May our endeavor to make amends
for our past misdeeds meet with abun-
dant success in the future; and when
we are called to that bourne from
whence no traveller returns, may our
departure be one of tranquility and
peaceful resignation. ANUS.

BETWEEN TWO EVILS.

The duties that press upon men in
their social life are many and some
times conflicting. Thus, if man hap
pens to learn that another, perhaps his
friend, has been dishonest and is now
in a position of trust where continued
dishonesty may do great harm to other
innocent people, it is his duty to give
warning to the latter. But if he has
hopes that his friend may be reclaimed
it is just as clearly his duty to do all in
his power to effect a reform and keep
his friend from falling into confirmed
evil ways. If he should utter the cry
of warning for the benefit of the gen.
eral public the inevitable consequence
would be to blast his friends reputa-

REINCARNATION AS APPLIED TO
PRACTICAL LIFE.

AS the doctrine of ReincarnatiOn is
strikingly unique in general outline,
and yet so plausible in hypothesis, it is
open to wide Interpretation of mean
ing. Students in TheOsophy being per-
mitted to retain their individual de-
duction of reasoning, it naturally
follows that we sometimes differ in
opinion in minor details, but, on the
whole. try to preserve universal equity
on all important subjects.
Reincarnation is the process of link
ing the innumerable life experiences of
an individual to complete an evolu-
tionary chain from the insignificant
atom to the highest spiritualized Man
God, or, more strictly speaking, it is
being reborn to earth in order that the
Soul may continue its search for
knowledge and divine wisdom. No
where in the wide world do we know
Of any man who is satisfied that he has
gathered all the fruits of intellectual
thought or investigation; the most
learned scholars and philosophers gaze
toward distant unexplored heights
and feel that this worlds resources
have never yet been exhausted by
mortal man. We know that from the
cradle to the grave, the Soul is con-
stantly storing its treasures of ex-
perience and cropping in all directions
for higher light and keener percep-
tions, hoping that each tomorrow will
bring nearer its goal.
Not only is Reincarnation the oldest
belief Of the world but it is the central
foundation of almost all religions,
either in an exoteric or an esoteric
sense. Orthodox Christians may scott
as they will at the idea, but it is dis
tinctly incorporated in the Bible teach
ings and if they would read the words
from an esoteric point of view the
fact is very apparent. All through the
Bible, parallels and other figures of
speech are used to express the various
authors meaning and even Jesus illus
trated divine wisdom through allegor-
ical language adapted to the under
standing of His hearers, and each
received the lesson according to his
intellectual and spiritual capacity.
If the doctrine of ReincarnatiOn was
preached from every pulpit today, it
would carry far greater sense of COM
fort and assurance to the minds of the
listeners than the extravagant pictures
of Heaven in the new Jerusalem, whose

tion and perhaps drive him into
practices from which he should be
saved. If, on the other hand, he should
remain silent and give negative sup
port to his friend by association, he
might promote the wrongs to others
which he is bound to avert if it is with
in his power. The situation is one of
great perplexity, for which there can
be no fixed rule or guide. But it may
be laid down as safe principle that
vague general duties should never out
weigh special duty arising from
friendship or other close relation, and
that no mans reputation should be
assailed except upon the plainest
grounds of necessity. Where there are
opposing duties, the benefit of the
doubt should always be given to those
closest and nearest to us, especially in
cases where there is a possibility of
promoting reform and redeeming a
friend who is going wrong. Quite
apart from cases involving serious in
jury or crime are those where one be-
comes cognizant of the growing bad
habits of a friend or acquaintance, as,
for example, where one happens to
know trusted clerk who is beginning
to drink and keep fast company. The
ultra just might consider it a duty to
warn the young mans employers from
loss. But such course might wreck
his life by mere suspicion. The just
and fair thing to do by all concerned
would be to call the young man to one
side, warn him of his danger, and
frankly explain to him that if he
should continue in his evil ways the
other duty of giving warning would
have to be fulfilled. BY that means a
reform might be effected without scan
dal or injury to any one. Whatever
the course to be adopted, however, all
duties should be considered and
weighed, and no action taken cOldly
from sense of public duty alone, nor
blindly because of personal friendship.

BE vIRTUOUS.

1t is an old saying, "Be virtuOus and
you will be happy" The truthfulness
of the adage is generally admitted, for
we all know that much of the unhap-
piness of life comes from our wrong
doing or mismanagement. But think
we may turn the old adage completely
around and it will be just as true as in
it's present form. Let us see. Be hap
py and you will be virtuous. Our own
experience tells us that when we feel
pleased and happy, we feel more kind
ly disposed toward others than when
we have a fit of the blues. We feel
more like giving helping hand in any
good work, more like denying our
selves in order to please others, than
we do when we are dissatisfied and un-
happy. We can hardly conceive of
such thing as a man who is habitual-
ly gloomly and discontented, and who
is yet kindly and sympathetic in his
manner towards others. We live too
much for self: think too much of self.
Selfishness is at the bottom of much of
the unhappiness of life. Our papers
are filled with the narrowing accounts
of brutal treatment of children by par
ents; of wretched bitterness among
neighbors; of cold-blooded murders and
sickening suicides. And what does it
all spring from? 1t springs, mainly.
from morbid unhappiness, wretch
edness of soul in those guilty of these
unhappy deeds.
There are some men, who, if they
harbor unhappy thoughts and feelings,
will soon be ready for any deed how
ever mean or findish. ~ have learned"
says Paul, "in whatsoever state 1 am
Herewith to be content" This is not
a very easy lesson to learn, perhaps,
but it is one Of the very best. Had
Paul given place to discomfort, had he

one, he never would have been the
grand and good man he was.-Worth

FORGET 1T.
by FANNIE FULLERTON.l
Have ye erred?
On, pray We forget it.
When. truly the debt has been paid.
Prom a heart that is filled with good purposes.
Let the memory of sin quickly fade.
Let it fade.
When, the punishment over,
Hast paid all the price it cost,
Thou wilt need every moment of action
Thou must make up for the time thou hast lost
Art thou sad?
There's no time for regretting.
The world needs thy head and thy heart;
Thou hast right to its honor and homage.
There's path just awaiting thy start.
Be not weak
Nor sigh deeply at sighting;
Think oft what thine own Saviour bore
Did He halt in His aims to regret them,
Or wish that His blessings were more?
Press ye on.
And when our work is finished.
And all of our life has been run
Then how little the shadows and crosses.
And how priceless each days work we'll done.

there are any enterprising young men
in the Twin Cities who have a little
capital and a good deal OF energy, and
wish to act upon the advice Of the late
Horace Greeley, they can go to this
unnamed and unmade town and enter
into business. A wealthy Omaha syndi-
cate has bought what is known as the
Gebo mine on the Clarke's Fork, and
a quarter of a million of dollars will be
expended on the mine before a ton OF
coal is shipped out The coal will be
disposed of at Butte, and the GebO mine
Will at once go into active competition
with the mines at Rock Springs, WyO.,
which have now an exclusive sale of
coal in the great Montana mining town.
The Butte shelters use from 100 to 500
carloads of coal a week. The differ
ence of freight rates is about 81 ton
in favor of the Clarke's Fork coal. and
as it can he mined cheaper than at RCck
Springs, it is only matter of time be
fore the latter coal viii be shut out
from the Butte smelters.
A town site will be Immediately laid
out on Clarkes Fork by the company
that owns the mine and the location
selected is especially adapted for such
a purpose. A large grain elevator will
be erected and stores and hotels, saloons
and small manufactures. doctors and
lawyers will move in; in fact the town
