TRUTH IN EPIGRAM.
Pointed Paragraphs From Rev. j
b. Silcox's Sermon Yesterday.

In the course of his sermon in the
Congregational Church yesterday morn
ing the pastor, Rev. J. B. Silcox, pre-
sented the gospel in the following epi-
grams:
ITO be a Christian is to be, or strive
to be, the man or woman God intended
you to be-"
Religion is natural to man. 1t be-
longs to man as health belongs to him. :"
'Sin is no more a part of man than
a barnacle is part Of ship"
THE tree needs the sunshine as well
as the soil. The earth will feed your
body; you need heaven to feed your
SOUL
Religion as Jesus taught it is the
completing of mans nature"
THE more spiritual life is the more
natural 1t is.''
''The life of Jesus was natural be-
cause it was so spiritual"
1--WE rise in humanity as we rise
toward divinity"
you can no more separate religion
from man than you can separate fra
GRANGE from the rose
'It is as natural and reasonable for
a man to pray as for a child to cry for
its mothers BOSOM"
1.-The human soul was made for God,
and nothing less than God can satisfy
it."
Tennyson is religiously true, for 1--WE
needs must love the highest when we
see it,"
LAS a flower harms itself by living
apart from the sun. SO man harms him
self by living apart from God"
"To put something else before and
above religion is moral stupidity.
Every man is under obligation to
make the most Of himself. Therefore
he is under obligation to be Chris
tian.
ITO be a Christian is to come into
right relations with God and into right
relations with man.
IF a man chooses he can crawl into
the dark, dank cellar of animalism and
shut out all the splendor Of God from
his soul. Some are doing this"
When the prodigal came to himself
he came to God, To consort with swine
and live on husks is not mans normal
condition.
'"The Gospel says not you must come
to God, but you may come. Not. you
must find and wear the pearl Of great
price, but you may"
Religion is not restrictions; it is
liberty It is not servitude; it is SON
ship. 1t is not repression; it is inspir-
alton It is not self denial; 1t is self
development. 1t is not restraint; it
is opportunity It is the opportunity to
attain unto all that is highest in
thought, purest in motive and noblest
in character"
"The kingdom of heaven is treasure,
pearl of great price. which, when a
man hath found, for joy thereof goeth
and selleth all that he hath, and be-
comes it's possessor."
MY brother, my sister, do you value
spiritual blessings high enough to
make them the supreme quest Of your
life?"

If riders knees ache after riding a
short time, he may be sure that he
does not ride properly. Generally the
trouble is caused by too low a reach,
with the saddle too far back. Those
who find their knees getting stiff should
first look to the adjustment of their
machines. If they try the saddle in
front of the post, and sit SO that the
heel barely touches the pedal when it
is depressed, they will probably have
no further trouble.

New York Tribune: One of the most
common causes for a chain breaking is
that riders go out in the rain or get
caught in a storm and do not loosen
the chain. When the chain gets wet
and full of grit between the joints it
naturally tightens up, and if the strain
is too great it snaps. On dusty roads
the same is true. Few riders watch
their chains enough.

BOOKS AND APPLIANCES.
Relating to Child study, Art, Nature
and business.

School books and appliances of every de-
scription are on exhibition at the new Hall
of the Ancients on New York avenue be-
tween 18th and 14th streets. All the lead
ing publishers are represented by books of
all kinds used in the education of children
of all ages from the primary school to the
colleges and universities.
Pamphlets and periodicals relating to
child study, art nature and business are
scattered everywhere. Pictures and art
works, statuary. models, apparatus for lab
oratories and shop work; in fact, everything
to make a school complete are in this build
irg.
The exhibition at this convention is said
to be the most complete ever shown. That
its value is appreciated is evidenced by the
fact that the hall is constantly thronged
with admiring delegates. The thorough and
complete manner in which this exhibit is
arranged is largely due to the efforts of
Mrs. Sara Spencer. She has devoted
much time and labor for the success of her
branch of the work. in which she has had
the hearty cooperation of Messrs. Charles
Lyman. S. w. Woodward, 3. H. Warner
