SECOND WEST VIRGINIA.
Its Mastering Out Depends Entirely on
Circumstances.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. 30.-In-
quiry at the War Department develops
the fact that the Second West Vir-
ginia Regiment now occupies the
same position in respect to mastering
out as do the regiments in the field.
Its retention in the service depends
upon circumstances. All regiments
now held in reserve, the Second West
Virginia included, will be mustered
out at the conclusion of peace, or
when the war department decides
that there is no longer need of their
services.

DUN'S REVIEW.
The General Condition OF Business Con-
tinues Satisfactory.


New YORK, Jan. 30.--R. G. Dun's
report will say to-day: The country
is in stronger position than a week
ago. The remarkable strength in its
industries is important, but not the
chief element. Public confidence in
the business Of the country. in it's Sc
curities has been tested to an unusual
extent by the sudden fall in stocks and
subsequent rise. The lumber move
ment is unusually large for the season
with prices OF low grades sharply adj
vancing. Railroad earnings and ton
mage have shown surprising gains.
Wool grows weaker because forced by
the speculation OF year ago to prices
which the market for goods could not
sustain, and has been embarrassed in
trying to sustain ever since. Failures
for the week were 224 In the United
States, against 342 last year, and 33
in Canada, against "a last year.

New Motives.

Christians have new motivw for mis-
sionary activity in these days. The old
theory that whoever does not accept
Christ in this life is lost, whether he
has ever heard the gospel or not, is sell
dom broached now by the more intelli-
gent classes of people. But present mo-
tives are, or should be, no less strong
than those of former days in encour-
aging missionary activities. To bring
light into darkened souls; to encourage
the weary and heavy laden. sinking un-
der life's burdens; to uplift the fallen;
to give strength to overcome the demons
of lust and selfshness; to show the
despairing mourner that the grave is
but the open portal to heaven-these are
the true motives to missionary effort.
Could they be any nobler or more po-
tent t2-Universalist Leader.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. ;

Topic For the Week Beginning june
25-COmment by Rev. $. III. Doyle.
TOPIC. Spiritual growth.-Mark iv, 26-s2.
i The nature of spiritual growth is rep
resented in the topical reference by two
| parallels of Christ concerning the
growth of seed cast into the ground.
The soil is the human heart; the seed
is the word of God; the growth is spir-
itual development; the fruit is Chris
tian character; the harvest is the end
of the world, when God distributes His
rewards and punishments. The one
thought emphasized by the topic and
also by these two parallels is the nature
of spiritual growth, or the growth of
| the kingdom of God in the heart and
life of men. Several characteristics of
| spiritual growth are pointed out.
1. Spiritual growth is constant. The
seed grows continually. The man rises
night and day, and the seed springs up
and grows. 1t is not an irregular, inter-
mittent growth, but constant, steady
growth. This should be the nature of
spiritual growth. Constant, study of
Gods word, constant communion with
Christ, constant abounding in good
works, should lead to constant advance
Of the spiritual life toward God and
godliness
2. Spiritual growth is mysterious
The seed should spring up and grow, he
knoweth not how, for the earth bring
eth forth fruit of herself How mysteri-
ous is growth Who can explain it or
understand it3 The fact we know; the
philosophy is unknown. How charac-
teristio Of spiritual growthl Spiritual
birth is mysterious ssThe wind bloweth
where it listeth, - . but thou canst not
tell whence it cometh or whittier it
goeth. So is every one who is born of
the Spirit. Mystery is the nature of
spiritual growth. Who can explain
how the word of God can take hold Of
the human heart and change it and
transform the human life? We know
the fact, blessed knowledge, but the
philosophy of it is unfathomable 1t is
Of. God and mysterious, incomprehensi-
BILE.
o. spiritual growth is gradual and
progressive. "First the blade, then the
ear; after that the full corn in the ear"
Step by step the process continues. The
order is always the same; it is never
reversed. God is orderly in all that He
does. The fact should warn us against
too high expectations We cannot be-
come saints in day. Saints are not
born, but developed. It should act as an
encouragement and inspiration. Per-
haps we do not grow as we feel that we
should. Let us remember that not by |
giant strides does the seed grow, but
gradually and progressively.
4. Spiritual growth is characterized |
by fruit bearing. The seed becomes the
ear, the mustard seed the fruit bearing
tree. Spiritual growth will manifest it. |
self in spiritual fruit.

The Constant Builder.

The man of intellect keeps his con.
fession in book, but has no knowledge
of it with the heart, but the real soldier
of Christ carries his confession in the
consciousness of his own soul. 1t is with
him when he sleeps. Every morning he
awakes with it, Throughout all of life
he carries it in his innermost soul And
because it is the dominating power in
his life, by virtue of his confession, he
is constant builder in the church of
Christ. Translated From the Dutch by
