Saving Others.

One OF the principal differences between the church
of half century ago and the church of to-day is
indicated by the fact that instead of the question
What must l do to be saved? which the former
strove to inspire and answer the latter endeavors to
prompt and reply to the inquiry, What can we do
to save othersF or What can we do to save the
worlds? The change marks advance from individ-
ualsm to sense of human unity and brotherhood
from self interest to altrusm and is therefore sau
tary and laudabe. Yet there will be distinct loss
II the old question should cease to be asked 1t is
not safe for to be interested in the welfare of
others as to forget his soul-the structural ideas
OF TRUTH honor, purity and beautyin the cultivation
OF which by meditation we'll as by action man finds
depth and richness of life. One of Professor Pea
bodys sermons, that upon the text For their sakes
sanctify myself, shows the deep and abiding rea-
ton between personal holiness and phanttropic ac-
tvty and hence the necessity for the message of the
older church in the noble passion for social service
which animates the new For their sakes I sanctfv
myself. "-ChriStian Register

Alcohol and the Nerve Centre.

AT the present day the weight of evidence is de-
cidedy against the popular opinion that alcohol slim
ulates the nerve-centres. In opposition to Binz and
his followers, Schmiedeberg Bunge and others main
tain that alcohol does stimulate the central nerv
Gus system, the symptoms of excitement being not
due to true stimulation of areas but that these
symptoms occur the result of those areas being
freed from control by the weakening of the highest
functions of the brainthe will and the sef-restraint
recent authority Prof Cushny says that Schmiede-
bergs theory seems the more satisfactory one; "or
there is evidence every hand that even the small
est quantities of alcohol tend lessen the activity of
the brain. -. Evidences of the depressing action
of alcohol on the brain embarrassing by their
number 1t is needless to stop to point out that
neither sugar fat, taken into the body as food.
causes any such depressing action on the nervecels
as does alcohol; and this fact of itself is sufficient to
stamp it unfit for human food and to place it as
narcotic among medicinal substances in the class to
which opium, the bromids, and anesthetc agents be-
long-a place that is usually assigned to it in our
textbooks on pharmacology and therapeutics.

Ministers Corner.
A Stumb1ing-B1ock.

DR.. David J. Burrel, speaking of the minister's
stumbling blocks, said:
The Dictionary is another of our stumbling
blocks We are looking up words and celebrating
phrases and sand -papering the corners of periods
when we ought to be bordering our message from
God The average nearer is, believe tired of listen
ing to displays of theological rhetoric Life is too
strenuous in these times for that sort of thing The
people who come to church to hear the preacher
say something, say it without euphuisn or circ,1mlo-
cutlon, and say it forthwith, as if he meant it. We
use too much pumce and too little whet stone
More preachers die of elegant prolxty than of any,
thing else. While delivering beautiful ESSAYS
on the delicate shades of non-essental truth our con-
gregations slip away from us They feel as the old
woman did who retiring from tedious discourse on
the prophets, heard the minister say And now be-
loved, we come to the minor prophets What place
shall Malachi have? She looked back as she opened
the door, saying Malachi can have nv place
And why not? Who shall blame the people for re-
turing II they come to church for message from Al
mighty God and get mellifuous disquisition on a
miet-seed? There is vast difference between the
fooshness of preaching and the preaching of fool
lShness. While we alternating truth and elabor-
ating phrases the people are furnishing for the Cos
pei.

Your Moderation.

Let your moderation be known unto all men,"
Energy and enthusiasm of the greatest value as
motive-powers in life, but like the forces of nature
they are worse than useless unless controlled Recently
on New Jersey railroad the engineer and fireman of
coal train became helplessly intoxicated on the en-
gine, whereupon untried brakeman attempted to
run the train into town. He pulled the throttle too
wide open, and to his horror the train gathering mo-
mentum plunged along at a terrific rate and only
with difficulty it stopped at last The extremist
is man who recEessy pulls the throttle wide OPEN
while men about him possibly are fallen into stupor
OF selfish indulgence. The wildcat reformer NAV
bring up in station in a crash Really his hest
friend would be man who should persuade him to
try touch or two of the air brake The precipitate
reformer would do well to learn prudence from the
example of the boy who was leading a COW by a rope
until the cow ran away down the road carrying the
boy along whereupon the latter cried in terror to
some people who appeared in the distance "Here we
come Head us off" The progress of more than one
legitimate reform in this world is facilitated most sub
stantially and lastngly by heading off many a side
rush OF extreme prejudice fanaticism-N Y OBJ

Pointed Preaching.

Mr. William E. Gladstone said Zone thing have
against the clergy both of the country and in the
town. think they are not severe enough on their
congregations. They do not sufficiently lay upon the
souls and conScences of their hearers their moral
obligations and probe their hearts, and bring I'D their
whole lives and actions the bar conscience The
class of sermons which think is most needed is the
class which offended Lord Melbourne long ago. Lord
Melbourne was seen one day coming from church in
the country in a mighty fume. Finding friend he
exclaimed: 1t is too bad l have always been SUP
porter of the church, and have always upheld the
clergy But it is really too bad to have to listen to
sermon like that we have had this morning. Why
the preacher actually insisted upon applying religion
to a mans private lifeP But that is the kind of
preaching which like best; the kind of preaching
which men need most but it is also the kind of which
they get the least"

reasons why the present Conservative ma

The article is written on the hypothesis
that the United States is practically part
of the British Empire, and dwells at great
length on the aid and assistance Great
Britain has derived from the United States
during its recent South African and other
troubles. The opening passage of the ar
ticle reads as follows:
THE British Empire embraces an area
of 13,500,0 600 square miles, with a popula-
tion of 400, 100000. Besides this, the Uni
ted States, with an area Of $500, Geo square
miles, speaking our language as they do,
are necessarily part of US. Thus We have
an empire amounting to 16,800, coo square
miles, and the protectorates Of Afghanis-
tan, Beleochistan, Siam, and East Africa,
amounting in all to over 1,500, coo, 600
square miles

whether the original was properly
stamped. Failure to do SO, it is re-

for abstractors TO tell whether the law
has been complied with, and they cannot
give perfect abstract unless it appears
that all instruments have been proper

cient stamps had been affixed, and ae-
,.ordingly no legal sale could be made
by him.
