The piety that eats itself into public
expression is perilous piety.
If we look about us we will see that
God pursues a ceaseless activity. In
all nature there Is always a constant.
tireless, toiling progression. I ought
not to say more of the rhapsodists and
romanCcrs for fear that some might
think they have no place whatever i'm
the scheme Of human redemption. God
intends us to lead lives not Nat, stale
or insipid, but lives transngured for
His sake.
Religion, If we consult the etvmol-
ogy Of the word, implies obligation and
duty. Duty is one Of the grandest
words in the language. 1t transforms
the field OF opportunity. Duty takes
the lowest and most cowardly of mon
and transforms him into a living hero.
Duty car make more than an angel
out of man. 1t can make him a divine
thing.

BOYCOTT is NOW ON.
Labels Bearing Names of Blacklisted
Firms Were Posted UP in All
Parts of City Saturday.

There is no more mystery attached
to the names of the merchants boy
Cotted by the strikers. for since Sat
urday the entire city has been pretty
thoroughly decorated with stick labels
bearing their names so that "hc who
runs may read These labels arrived
at strike headquarters on Saturday

The labels are about three inches
long and two wide. A list of the eight
merchants boycotted follows with Il

among them.
Secretary Laudig, of the Ruilders'
Exchange, has issued the following
statement for publication showing his
views of the existing difficulty:
For the benefit of the public and those
who are otherwise kept in the dark as to
the actual situation of the "sO-Called

arc by no means to be found on the same
side OF tho question. But the main por-
tion OF them--thuse who follow the in
Junction of our Lord, to go into all tho
world to proclaim the good tidings of His
gospel-are hopeful and looking for ap-
propriate results. The moral world, no
less than the physical world. moves; and
do you inquire which way It moves;
whether up or down?
An individual may be unfortunate
enough TO be doubtful on which grade
no is, himself, travelling; but when he
looks at the ,acc as a whole and still
doubts, he has lost, or never had any
rational conceptions of the purpose of
human existence. We were made, every
faculty in us, physical, intellectual. moral,
TO grow. Docs any one suppose that II
was to see to what heights we could at
tain, or what depths we could reach?
For one, do not belong to the order of
pessimists, nor do / believe that we are
from the start, bent on going down hill.
We are, In my opinion, born with quite
rs much of good as of evil In us, and In
fair fight the good is bound to win.
There may be rotten spots on the earth,
as there are sometimes on the faircst
fruit; and there may be periods when
crime is more prevalent and flagrant
than Mt others; but this question is not to
be settled by localities which are always
controlled by local conditions. nor by sta
tistics which lie quite as often as they
tell the truth. 1t is the human race that
the question concerns. Is that growing
better or worse? The question Is not how
fast but which way is it drifting? Let
him who doubts take an observations let
him, opening his eyes and qulckening his
ears. look about him and listen.
Compare the influences with the forces
before which they are being driven to-
day. and one cannot doubt for a mo-
ment that the process has been a lifting
and not a depressing one. The marvellous
changes which have been all on the side
of better life After all, the practical
questions for each of us are: How can |
become better? How can [ help to make
the world better

he sustained many severe bruises and
scratches. MI. Thomas sustained Il
severe scalp wound and many ugly
scratches and bruises. The carriage
was almost a complete wreck.

Attorney r. j. Murray has handed
his resignation as secretary of the
board Of health to President George s.
Horn of that body. A meeting will be

reinstatement. Rather than submit tn
dictation as to the manner in which he

Mr.. Murray resigned.

Mr Dunnng is urging that the next
meeting of the road parliament be held
at Philadelphia during the exposition,
and making it an international one.
Many of the leading men of the asso-

will be carried out. He has secured
the exposition auditorium for the con-

to hold it there. Mr.. Moore upon his

"Ephraim feedeth on the winds and
followeth after the last wind" The
speaker said in part:
There are a great many imitators
of Ephraim in modern times. In the
Scriptures the word wind is used as
the symbol of vanity. There are
thousands of persons in the world
today calling themselves Christians,
who are trying to satisfy their souls
with insufficient 'religiosity instead Of
with the true food offered every
Christian
This class of people are founder
ing in the boEs of despair. They are
dawdling instead of doing. They deal
with Chimeras and unrealities. These
rOmancers are altogether too prcva-
lent. They try to elevate the common
every day prOsaic life Of this earth to
another world of fancies and illusions
where rosy hucs forever meet the eyes
They would raise the religion of this
world of reality into a kingdom above
the heads of men and make it at once
