MYiald Not to Tenn ptatIon."

There Is O patience Of endurance which
every man needs for reserveH strength In
times OF trial. But there Is also patience
Of endeavor which Is needfal all the time
II our church work this wiIfer;is to accom-
plish what we hope, We must overcome
encouragement and learn TO be perse-
vering IN energetic service. About this
time OF the year 1t often becomes
necessary to draw upon this reserve fund
Of enthusiasm. In certain quarters there
seems to come un insenSlble slackening OF
interest and effort. It may be Sunday
school teacher, whose work Is yielding lit
tie apparent result. while the cost OF ser
vice is great. The scholars do not seem
impressionable, therefore the teacher be-
lieves that they are not impressed. IL
may be a church member, who begins to
think that his presence mt prayer meeting
does not count. The law OF Christian life
Is that temptation to let go OF duty as
warning to take faster hold. Gods proc
esses do not show upon the surface. "Be
not weary in we'll doing, for In due season
ye shall reap II ye faint not" counsel for the
hour OF our disbursement. Most OF
US have reserves Of strength upon which
we can draw at such time, and
behind our weakness are the .ine1-'
haustible treasures of Gods strength
A little extra energy, backed by faithful
prayer, will cure our own disbursement,
and perhaps. help others to like activity.
The uplift OF O single soul In cheerful en-
terprise for Christ may begin the rising OF
the tide for the whole congregation.

Empty by Filling.

Try, above all, "the expulsiye power OF
good affections" Empty by filling; empty
OF what Is mean and impure by nilinS witn
what is noble and lovely. When the Argon-
auts sailed past the treacherous rocks OF
the Sirens they sailed in perfect safety be-
causeOrpheus was one OF them, and the song
of Orpheus was sweeter, more delightful,
more full OF noble witchery than the
Sirens vile, voluptuous strains. Let your
souls be filled with the music OF Him whom
the early Christians>delishted to represent
as Orpheus charming the wild beasts OF
bad passions by his harp. Your souls are
picture-gallery. Let their walls be hung
with all things sweet and pertect-the
thought OF God, the image OF Christ. the
lives OF Gods saints, the aspirations OF
good and great men, the memories OF
golden deeds.-Canon Farrar.

BY vote OF the California Senate, no

shows great gain OF ten counties In tho

The Indulgence In strong drink otiathers
and mothers of families Is the cause OF
much Of the misery OF childhood.
Strong drink qualities you to become an
undutiful child, an unnatural parent, q
cruel husband or disgusting wife.

When tho defender OF the saloon proves

There are now $50 societies In Franco

February 6, at 8 O'Clock. Unless the sentl'
ment OF the. Senate undergoesa change the

The Senate held two executive sessions
on Wednesday, and in each the peace

sioners'' reasons for the acceptance OF the

concluded. The agreement for vote was
made In the following language:
"That the Senate agrees to vote on the
treaty with Spain and all amendments on

shall 60 into executive session on each day

The Habit Of Private Devotions.

It Is safe to say that, unless this hapit be
maintained conscientiously the quality OF
our piety suffers. Doubtless neglect OF It has
been the cause OF more becksliding from
spiritual success and service than any ono
OF what we commonly call severe tempta-
In common, public devot1ons. They en-
rich and upbuild the soul by kim
ding our hottest sympathies and quick
ening our most sacred purposes. But
they do not, and cannot, do for US what
private individual communion with God ac-
complishes. We need to be alone with Him
sometimes and often. Otherwise we cannot
enter into those close and confidential rela-.
tions with Him which mean 80 much to the
truly Christian heart. In public worship,
even though we do but join as silent particf-
pants, we cannot make confession OF our
faults, lay before our Father freely our
own personal and special needs and bo>
come aware OF His holy Spirits response
and interest rs We "an when We are In
our closets. We need, and most who truly
belong to Christ have lea-ned how to.
profit by, such personal intercourse with
God. 1t Is an unspeakable privilege which
OF our times In g large degree Is un-l
friendly to It. Engagements OF many sorts
press upon US until to reserve even q
little time for 1t becomes hard. This or
that excuse Is allowed to justify neglect
OF it until, insensibly yet really, We have
grown to regard 1t as OF minor consequences
Moreover, not few declare frankly
that 1t Is not essential to true godliness.
They might as truly urge that tho
mutual knowledge and love Of a mother
and child would not weaken II they
never were to meet and converse. But
the testimony OF Christian history is conclu-
sive. The purest, ,noblest; hottest souls, those
whom even the most careless OF US all can
not help reverin9, have been those who have
lived In the closest fellowship, tho most
regular and intimate devotional union, with
the Almighty. Have we not known In our
own experience, too, some memorable hour
when we have tasted OF the blessedness
OF being, as 1t were, face to face
with the divine Father. when Bis
word has taken on q new richness and per-
thence OF meaning as We have studied 1t by
ourselves, and We have talked with Him In
prayer with precious freedom never pos
sible In the presence OF others, no matter
how sympathetic? We may. we ought to,
have such IN experience frequently. To
neglect private devotions means loss and
SORROW incalculable.

Drunksrds Barred Out.

She went reeling across the ladies' what
ing room and fell In senseless heap just
inside the door. The great room was filed
with the usual varied throng-smartlY-
dressed young women, intelligent-l
college girls, earnest, anxious mothers,
quiet sisters OF charity and others with the
hard lessons OF life written upon their
tired faces-but not one among them all
stepped forward to lend helping hand to
blot, upon the dusty floor. Even the big
hearted colored woman In charge drew
herself up straight, with added dignity,
and held herself aloof as, with curling lip,
she touched the electric button at her ell
bow. A moment later an official appeared
and smiled significantly as he raised the
PROSTATE form and led 1t tottering from
tho room. No one followed, but all felt rs
II they had suffered an indignity, and 80,
shut out from the kind and the good, this
frail sister went as II to her doom.
Say, has jenkins got job. yet?''. We
overheard one man ask another while
waiting on the street for car.
"No, course he hasn't" was the answer
in gruff tones. "Doesn't deserve any.
S'pose anybody's goin' to hire man

The speaker was red-faced and blear-
eyed, but that did not seem to make any
difference in tue expression OF his opinion.
In the popular mind there are few weak
nesses or crimes that excite 80 little sym
pathy as the habit OF tntoxlcation. Man
condemns bis fellow-men without hear
ing. Business methods demand sobriety
and an unclouded brain. To the inebriate
the hard world offers no place oi'trust or
responsibility. "Out you co." y the de-
cree OF the employer to the employe who
has made himself unreliable and incompe-
tent by the dread curse. Could the
tempted ones realize this truth, they
would hesitate long before forging their

Heayen Ia Eull Of Faces.

Our view OF heaven changes as our years
increase. I can remember when my con-
ception Of heaven was chiefly associated
with the glowing descriptions OF the Apo
calypso. 1t meant gates OF pearl, and golden
streets, and multitudes OF whtte-robed
angels hymning perpetual song, "Holy.
holy, holy Lord God Almighty But
there came q time when be-
loved sister fell asleep. and there
after her face was always associated
with every thought OF that celestial city
Then the dear father went. and then the
first born of the household, and then an
other with folded hands and dreamy eyes
went through the gates OF Paradise And
now all heaven Is full OF faces, and there are
hands beckoning and voices calling. 80,
more and more as the years pass, do / realize
the joyous significance Of the Masters word,

ship OF the Engaged Couple.
A few days ago there was family re-
union in Nashua, N. H., such as Is seldom
heard OF outside the pages Of novel or on
the stage. The people interested are Mrs:
William Z. Davis, Stephen A. White, OF
Boston, and Belle Lavero, a reader OF
note.
In 1871 Stephen A. White, OF Weym outh,
placed his daughter Rose out for adoption.
She grew to womanhood and became O
public reader under the name OF Belle
Lavsro. In 1896 she and Stephen A. White.
Jr., met and fell In love. He proposed and
was accepted last Christmas Day, and
when her parents consent was asked she
was told she was an adopted daughter, but
her foster parents did not know whose
daughter she really was.
An investigation was made, and it was
then found that she Is the girl Rose whom
the elder Mr.. White placed out in 1871.
When this fact became known the girl
tainted.
Further inquiries revealed that an elder
sister is Mrs. Davis. who was adopted by
IN uncle also III 1871. The family reunion
followed.
