Church Review Has Something to Say
 of Hartfords Dead Pastor.
 The current issue of The Church Re- view prints good portrait of the late Rev. Dr. Ichabod Simmons, formerly pastor of the old George street M. b. church, New Haven. Accompanying the portrait is carefully prepared bio graphical article prepared by a warm personal friend of the dead man.
 The article contains some extracts from church writers who knew Dr. Simmons. "One of these bars the sig nificant title: Thirty eight Ministerial Years Without Failure. Without a failure to edify believers, convict sim ners, guide inquirers, comfort peni- tents. compose feuds, console the af- f1icted, refresh the aged, and nurture the young! Without a failure to stim- ulate the Sabbath school, maintain and increase attendance upon the means of grace, to obtain welcome hearing for all that he had it in his heart to say to remain in one conference and be in excellent demand, and to be so beloved in the pastorate of an important church in the capital of Connecticut, that, though he had been ill during the past year, his people desired his return, even though he should be compelled to spend many months in travel, or in en- forced inactivity at home. This is what we mean by thirty-eight years of consecutive ministry without failure"

 THIRD RAIL TO BRISTOL.
It is Now Expected That Service Will

 Begin June 20
 Hartford, June 2.-The work on the third rail system to Bristol has been completed as far as the track is con- cerned but it has been found impossi- ble in the rush to fill government or ders for electrical supplies to get out the copper bonds for the third rail. This material is expected any day and when it comes the bonding of the third rail will be rushed through in short order. Everything but this is already prepared for the running of cars, and the service would have been in opera ton now but for the failure to receive the copper.
 The latest estimate is that the bonds will be received in time for the opening of the line to Bristol by the 20th of this month

Time For Bible Reading.

A class of persons who profess to love
the Bible excuse their neglect of it by
saying that they have no time for Bible
reading. But is there any person in this
land who cannot command the time to
read a chapter from the Scriptures every
day? 1t may be doubted whether there
is such person. There are many who
cannot do this and at the same time do
all that they desire to do in other direc-
lions. But that is not a reason for neg
lecting the Bible. Our Bible reading
should be one of the first duties of every
day. y good rule is % read nothing
else until we have read portion Of the
Scriptures. If we adopt this rule, and
rigidly adhere to it, we shall never lack
the time TO read at least few verses
from the Bible. This can be done at
home and it can be done abroad; it can
be done on a journey. The man of the
world can read his newspapers ON the
cars, If we are IS much interested in
the Bible as he is IN the daily news We
shall be able to read a chapter ON rail
road train. And if IL is always in mind
we shall find no day too short to read a
lesson from the Scriptures. -National
Presbyterian.

From Presumptuous Sins.

There is a good old prayer in the
Bible to be kept from presumptuous
sins. 1t is well TOR men in business to
repeat it when the temptations to run
hazardous risks are SO abundant The
most disgraceful fall ever witnessed
in a prominent church member arose
from his own presumption that he could
safely use small part of a trust fund
committed 20 him and would certainly
replace it. Instead Of replacing it he
took more, and he soon found himself
on a toboggan slide that carried him
down to destruction. Nenturing on God
may be a noble act of faith; venturing
on self is often an act of fatal folly. A
good rule is never to do what we can
not conscientiously ask God to prosper,
and never TO go where we cannot ask
our Master to go with us.-Evangelist.

What Becomes of the Pins?

has in all probability asked at some time
in his life, what becomes OF all the pins

of experiments conducted in his back gar

c.-"Helpfulness FIX. xvii, S-l3; Gal.
~, l-5.
We are dependent, independent and
interdependent in this life. We depend
upon God, we act independently for
ourselves, and we also depend upon one
another for much in life "No man
iiveth to himself He is dependent for
much upon those who are about him in
life. This mutual dependence is illus
trated in the first topical reference,
This is the story of the defeat of the
Amalekites at Rephidim. God made
success depend upon microscopy pray
er. While Moses held up his hand Is
his hand, Amalek. But Moses hands
became weary, and then Aaron and Hur
held them up. Moses was dependent
upon them for help. They were de-
pendent upon Moses, after God. for sue
cess. Success or failure was as impor-
tant to one as to another, and by their
united action they brought success. By
refusing to help one another they would
have brought defeat upon all. We are
thus mutually dependent upon one an
other in all the relations of life. In the
home, in the Endeavor society, in the
church, in society, in the business
world, we need the help Of one another,
and in helping others we help ourselves,
as Aaron and Hur benefited themselves
in holding up the arms of Moses
1t is not only good policy to help one
another in life, but it is also a religious
duty. Bear We one another's burden"
is the command of Paul. BE willing
to lay down your lives for the brethren
is the practical command of Christ and
in helping one another we thus fulfill
the law of Christ.
We are to help one another in bear
ing all the burdens of life-its sorrows,
its infirmities, its errors and its sins.
The object of helping others to bear
their sins is that they may be reclaimed.
IF brother be overtaken by fault,
We that are spiritual restore such a one
in the spirit of meekness. Restoration
is the object of all helpfulness. Another
incentive for this kind of helpfulness is
our own liability to sin, Considering
thyself lest thou also be tempted. and
being tempted presumably fall. We are
least willing to help men bear their
sins and errors. 1t is easier to give food
to the hungry and clothing to the naked
than II IS to give helping hand to a
sinful, fallen brother, but Christianity
demands that we shall do ali three.
Nothing will bring greater happiness
and greater blessing into our own lives
than to cultivate the habit of helping
others. 1t is more blessed to help than
to be helped.

Some Pertinent Questions that can
all be Answered with one Reply.

Why is ii that in Ellsworth and its sub
urbs, with combined population OF over
5000, there is only one manufacturer of
medicinal preparations who gives state
ments from residents to back up its repre-
sensations?
Why it is that Doan's Kidney Pills and
Dean Ointment do this in Ellsworth as
well as in every other city and town of
any Importance in the Union?
Why Is it that there are advertised in
every newspaper dozen remedies and
only two can supply local proof, local en-
dorsation of their claims?
The solution of the problem is simple.
Only two remedies have the curing and
the staying power. Other remedies make
all kinds OF gigantic yet futile efforts to get
local proof, but the attempt ends in pro-
ducing statement or two from places
that, as far as Ellsworth is concerned.

MODERN WAR ErHICS,
Some os the Powerful Death Dealing APP
pIiances In Current Times.


pliances In Current Times.
In IT'S an Englishman, James Pickle,
secured British patent for what seems to
have been an attempt at a breechloading,
rapid firing gun An original feature of
the invention was the use of two different
breech plates, one for square bullets to be
used against the Turks, and the other for
round bullets, to be used against Chris
tians 1t is curious to find two opposing
tendencies in the same intentionally the
desire to construct gun that should be
more effective because more destructive
and (2) a desire to recognize certain ethical
distinctions in its use. If a round bullet
was too good for Turk, a square one was
too bad for a Christian.
These two tendencies one operating to
make war more destructive and the other
to mitigate its harshness, are struggling
for pre- eminence today as they have been
for centuries War is an evidence of the
imperfection of modern civilization. But
If we seek proof of the development of the
humane sentiment and of the extension of
the sphere of ethics to unethicn relations
we may find it in the arts Of war as surely
rs in the arts of peace.
The introduction of new and powerful
explosives and OF guns of enormous power
and range the application of electricity to
submarine mines, the construction of mod
ern battleships ana torpedo boats, the in
provemeutS in long range rifles and rapid
firing guns, and many other inventions
invest the whole enginery OF war today
with terrible destructiveness. The seri-
Gus student of ethics, not to speak of the
cynic, may well ask whether the develop
ment of philanthropy in mitigating the
hardships of war has kept pace with these
destructive tendencies and whether ethics
might not be better employed in discour-
aging such inventions than in palliating
their effects But, without specializing on
our distance from the millennium, it is a
fact that the sense of obligation between
nations and the recognition of duties to
civilization and humanity have made such
progress that war cannot wholly abrogate
them. Forum.
