Sacrifice to woridlincss.

Again, there are many who are sac
rificing their children to Il spirit Of
worldliness. Some one asked Il mother
whose children had turned out very
well what was the secret by which she
prepared them for usefulness and for
the Christian life, and she said: "This
was the secret: When in the morning
| washed my children, prayed that
they might be washed in the fountain
of a Saviour's mercy. When put on
their garments prayed that they
might be arrayed in the robe of a Saw
iour's righteousness. When | gave them
food. prayed that they might be fed
with mamma from heaven. When l
started them on the road to school, l
prayed that their path might be rs the
shining light, brighter and brighter to
the perfect day. When I put them to
sleep, prayed that they might be en-
folded in the Saviour's arms. > "Oh,
you say, chat was very cid fashioned!'
1t was quite old fashioned. But do you
suppose that child under such nurture
as that ever turned out bad?
In our day most boys start out with
no idea higher than the all encompassins
dollar. They start in an age which
boasts it can scratch the Lords Prayer
IN a 10 cent piece and the Ten Com
nandments on 10 cent piece. Chill
dren are taught to reduce morals ano
religion, time and eternity, to vulgar
fractions. 1t seems to be their chief at
tainment that 10 cents make a dime
and >10-dimes make dollar. How to
get money is only equaled by the other
art-bow to keep it. Tell me, ye who
know, what chance there is for those
who start out in life with such per-
verified sentimentsl The money market
resounds again and again with the
downfall of such people. If l had a
drop of blood on the tip of pen,
would tell you by what awful tragedy
many of the youth of this country are
ruined.
Further on, thousands and tens of
thousands of the daughters of America
are sacrificed to worldllness Ihey are

Quoted into all the hollowness of what

Not Pleasing to the Lore.
Of course this Offering was not pleas
ing to the Lord. especially as a provi-
sion was made in the law for such a
contingency, and Jephthah might have
redeemed his daughter by the payment
of 80 shekels of silver. But before you
hurl your denunciations at Jephthah' s
cruelty remember that in olden times,
when VOWS were made, men thought
they must execute them, perform them,
whether they were wicked or good.
There were two wrong things about
Jephthah's VOW. First. he ought never
to have made it. Next having made 1t,
it were better broken than kept. But

LEO EXTREMELY WEAK
CONDITION OF HIS HOLINESS SAID TO
BE GROWING GRAVE.
Hi. Physicians, However, Continue to
Deny AIarmist RumOrs-KipliDg
Better and sherman Improving.

ROME March 16.-The POpe's GONZALES
ccnce is following its normal course. Prof
Maszoni and DR.. Papponi. the Pope's physi-
Glars, deny all the aarmist rumors that have
been in circulation regarding the condition
of his Holiness. They declare that the
wound made by the recent operation is about
healed; that the Pope's lungs and heart are
absolutely healthy, and that his weakness
is not more than is natural in nonagena-
rian on the other hand, the newspapers
print Il variety of reports. While the
Tribuna states that his Holiness has re-
sumed his usual vocations, giving audi
ences, etc. the Opinione declares that he
had several fainting fits during the day, and
the Fanfulla AYERS that weakness and other
signs of breaking up increasing. The
Messagaro to-day says the Pope shows
signs of increasing weakness and that his
physicians are very watchful.
LONDON, March IT, - The Rome corre-
spondent of the Daily News says: THE
worst symptom of the Pope's condition is ex-
treme weakness, which is responsible for
the slow healing of the wound. The ban
dageS were only removed yesterday (rhurs-
day.. Moreover. his Holiness obstinately re-
fuses to take complete rest from the affairs
of state, and his doctors have been COM
PEELED TO promise him that he may attend
the ceremony in the Sistine Chapel on April
IL in honor of ST. Leo
The Rome correspondent OF the Daily
Telegraph says: Il learn from an unim-
peachable source that there is no hope Gf
effecting d real cure, as the Popes wound
refuses to heal. There is every fear of
blood poisoning. and the strength of his Ho-
illness is entirely maintained by cognac and
Marsala. DR.. Lapponi continues to sleep at
the Vatican. 1t is feared that the Pope may
die in a fainting fit, especially as he habit
ually sleeps on his back, which produces a
dangerous condition of things. His attend
ants are obliged to turn him over frequent
ly. 1t will be a miracle if he survives an
other three months"

ceed at once to Kingston, Jamaica, to meet
the Paris and take Mr.. Sherman off. Unless
this is done Mr.. Sherman must remain on
the ship for two weeks, or the excursion
which the ship carries must be abandoned.
The Chicago is provided with a medical Off
Ger, so that the patient will have the best
