"The Book of Heayen,'

Rev. Egerton r. Young, the mis-
sionary to the Indians in the far north.

tells, in one of his addresses, this
touching story:
"Often have been made ashamed o.
the littleness of my love by the devo
ton ofthese Indians, and by their love
for the Bible. Let me give you an in
cident. One of our Indians with bis
son came away down from the distant
hunting-grounds to fi-h on the shore,
of our great lakes. This man and his
son came down to fish, and they made
splendid fisheries, put up the white
fish on staging where the foxes and
wolves could not reach them, and one
night the father said: my son, we
leave tomorrow morning early; put
the book of heaven in your pack We

to our distant hunting-ground to join
the mother and the Others in the wig

his Bible in his pack that they might
take 1t home. Later on, along came
an uncle and said to the young man
Nephew, lend me the book of heaven

Then shall we crown evil certain vic

to treble the mischief. He who offers
the first injury makes a beginning OF
evil, but he who retaliates renders the
evil most uncomfortable.
Shall the evil be met simply with
contempt of Indifference? TO merely
refrain from requiting evil with evil Is
apparently neither to conquer nor 10

passive is also to be conquered. A

A Good Cup OF Coffee.

First and foremost, learn to prepare
a good cup of coffee. Be ashamed to
offer that muddy, undrinkable stuff
which often does duty at out breakfast
tables. See that the freshly drawn
water boils. Measure q tablespoonful
of coffee to each person. Put in half
a shell and little of the white of an
egg. Pour in the boiling water, put
your pot over the fire, and stir until II
boils up once; then place on the back
of the stove for five minutes to settle
When it is poured out over the cream
and sugar, it ought to be as clear as
old wine.

GER of this age ia that we lose sight o.

he behind all work. Too much atten-
tion ia given to external agencies, and
not enough to that quiet hour Of medi-
tation. and in which many truly great
souls have gathered strength for the
duties of life. Much Of our so-ealled
Church work Ia only mechanical, the
work of men and women who do it,
not out of sense of duty and love, but
because they are told to do 1t, and Wish
to appear as workmen in the Lord's
cause. There is too much ofthis soul
less. lifeless work. We do not COLL
plain of too much work, for in the
cause of Christ there can hardly be too
much activity. tits natural that when
men have found Christ they desire to
bring others to the same kind Friend,
thus the kingdom is extended. But
what we need more especially Is work
ers who, in the quiet hour, have stored
up force to make their work of great
effect.
In, past ages men went to the other
extreme; and more stress was laid up-
on meditation than upon work.
Hence men shut themselves In caves
and cloistera, spending their time In
silent thouqht while souls were being
lost. We do not find fault with the
meditation, but we do complain of the
waste of energy in not doing the will
of God, who wants laborers. While
these men sat in their cells the harvest
was going to waste.

idea of the Importance and value OF

meditation and communion with him
who supplies all strength. The Christ
ian in his work finds 40 MANY trials.
40 much opposition, that it is really
necessary for him to draw upon the
inexhaustible store Of grace which is
in God.
We have noble examples In past ages
of men who were mighty in the cause
of God, and we know that they gath

FRIGHTENED TO DEATH
Woman EillstBy Train That Never
 Touched Her.

The Copper Era says that on Thurs day last, Mrs. Pedro Garcia and two other Mexican women started tocross a railroad bridge about five miles be- low Clifton. The work train had just passed and had stopped a few hundred yards below the bridge, ana after dis charging. some materiaf,4 the engineer blew the whistle and started down the road. The women had reached the middle of the bridge when the whistle blew. Mrs. Garcia, supposing that the train would soon return, became unconscious. The two women who were accompanying her, tried to carry her across the bridge, and were soon joined by two men. By the time they rendered a verdict to the effect that death was the result of natural causes. It was stated that she had been sub ject to heart trouble for several years. The remains were inferred in the Cath olic cemetery Friday last.
