Making improvements.

A visit to the Valve Works last week
discovered the fact that MANY necessary
Improvements are being made to the
foundry and machine shop. Heretofore
it has been necessary to do the work of
making cores in the engine room owing
to the oven being located there. This
has caused considerable damage to the
machinery there besides endangering
the safety Of the building,
TO remedy this Mr.. Gustafson has
caused the old oven to be pulled out,
aud IS now building new oven on
thoroughly srientifce principles, on the
upper erd of the brass foundry. 1t will
be covered by building 3Ox36, and eY-
cry convenience for core making and
core baking will be constructed.
Mr. Gustafson has also overhauled his
enginH which was greatly in need of
ne air He is also contemplating run
ming the the power direct from the en-
CINE onto the main shaft instead of by
a cOunJershaft.
While there we noticed great deal
OF finished and unfinished work in brass
and IRON Mr.. Gustafson also informed
Us that be had large order from the
Il. c., l. & R. R. Co., for brass castings
OF various kinds for use at Tracy City.
We are glad to note that while the
valve works does not make much noise
about it, there is a great deal of work
going ou>there.

he was taken home and a hurried ex-
animation made by the doctors this was
found to be untrue. They fear, however,
that piece Of the end Of the thigh bone
may be Clipped off. But whatever may

The.sensntionaI Preacher.

One Of the most serious obstacles III
the way'of the church of Christ in oul
day is the sensational preacher. The
freedom permitted in some churches fol
the eccentric utterances of men under
the pretense of preaching destroys the
sanctity of the pulpit and brings untold
damagesto the influence of divine truth
among men. Egotism, the seeking of
notoriety. the ad captandum vulgus,
are disgusting exhibitions of rotten
humanity wherever found, but in the
Christian pulpit they are criminal No
doubt all the denominations have had
their notifications in this line. If
church discipline cannot be brought to
bear, the weight of public opinion in
the churches and out of them should be
felt. Stay away from such a ministry,
and let your absence be your witness

Our WORK Dome bx others.

1t is often said that our work is done
in these days by other pulpits, presses
and churches. If it is SO, the fact is our
condemnation. For our work no one
can do unless we fail to do it ourselves.
This is point worth dwelling on. 1t is
the willingness to see our work done by
others that affords others their oppor-
tunity. Somebody must do the work,
the Lords work certainly. We are set
to do our share. Nobody else is appoint
ed to our task nor will be till we slight
it. If we do, the work will not go un-
done, we may be sure of that. No mat
ter. Spring to the task before thee, o
brother; fling away doubts and fears;
put a cheerful courage on; let the
strokes fall; be sure thy share in the
completed result will be as large, as i'm
portant, as glorious, as thy fidelity in
the work. The only way any one can
take away our reward is by taking
away our task, and no one can take our
task if we are prompt and willing to do
it ourselves--Un Universalist Leader.

1t is a mistake to be too ELUSIVE in

Gifts and Loans. .

Schools Of all trades are needinglmore
and better equipment than ever before.
Apparatus of the most approved pat
terms must be had. Specialists in vari-
GUS departments must be retained.
Buildings must be erected and fur
nished Fees from students can never
meet these expenses. Large gifts have
been made in the years gone by, and
still larger are needed for the future.
Multitudes of our young people look
with longing desire to the schools, but
have not the funds to pay even the
moderate fees and expenses. To mary
such the funds of the Educational soci-
ETY. come as godsend. We must in
crease these aids and use them SO as to
foster the spirit of self helpfulness in
our young men and women Those aid
ed in time past are the ones who in
present prosperity pour out Of their
abundance to help, others.
The s'tweIrtieths century thank offer
ing should lift many of our needy
schools and scholars into positions Of
greater usefulness.
