The Lords PRAYER.

One Of the most marvellous achieve
ments Of the parliament Of religions
at the Chicago Worlds fair was the
readiness with which all the religions
Of the world united in the devout re-
cital Of the Lords Prayer, happily
designated by President Bonney as
''the universal prayer" When at the
opening of the parliament Cardinal
Gibbons used it, the vast audience Of
about 1000 people joined in it, and,
having been repeated on each Of the
II days Of the great convocation, the
parliament of religions was closed
with it by Rabbi Hirsch. Thus it be-
came a deliberate expression Of the
worlds religious unity.-Open Court.

holiness Won the Day.

From the hour when he was obliged
to leave Hobart college, stricken with
q hemOrrhage of the lungs, through all
the years until but a short time since
he yielded to a third attack of pneu-
mOnia, Bishop MahlOn n. Gilbert, CO.
adjutor with Bishop Whipple of the
diocese of Minnesota, had fought out
many hand to hand battle with
death.
Years ago, when but just out of di-
vinity halls, he was given q charge by
Bishop Tuttle, his lifelong friend. 1t
was the most difficult field in the west.
Young Gilbert was the only minister
of his faith in all the western half of
a great territory. In the town of Deer
Lodge, Mon, his headquarters, COM
prising some 600 souls, he had at the
beginning of his work but two commu-
nicants. 1t was from this town that he
went upon mission tours throughout
the region. Walking into the local
bank one day he said to one of the Off
Gals:
81 want $4,000, without any indorse-
ment, to be paid back some time in
the future"
The banker looked at the young rec
tor a moment, and then without a sign
of further hesitation he said:
'You can have it. Any man that's
got nerve enough to ask such a thing
deserves to have it without interest"
A very profitable church fair, held
later, was literally patronized, and
soon after the proudest man in Monta-
ma, as he afterward said, marched into
the bank and laid down the $4,000
in coin and currency.-Saturday Even

Strycnnlne ror your soul! Pick not up
this nest Of coiled adders for your
pocket! Patronize no newsstand that
keeps them! Have your room bright
with good engravings, but for these
outrageous pictorials have not one
wall, not one bureau, not one pocket
man is no better than the pictures
! he loves to look at. If your eyes are
not pure, your heart cannot be. AT a
| newsstand one can guess the character
! of man by the kind of pictorial he
purchases. When the devil fails to
get man to read bad book, he some
times succeeds in getting him to look
at a bad picture. When satan goes
a-fshing, he does not care whether it
is long line, or a short line if he only
draws his victim in. Beware of las
civious pictorials, young man, in the
name of Almighty God, L charge you!
Cleanse the Library.
Cherish good books and newspapers;
beware of bad ones. The assassin of
Lord Russell declared that he was led
into crime by reading one vivid ro-
nance. The conSecrated John Angel
James, than whom England never pro-
duced better man, declared in his old
age that he had never yet got over the
evil effects Of having for Is minutes
once read a bad book. But I need not
go so far off, L could tell you Of a
cOmrade who was great hearted noble
and generous. He was studying for
an honorable profession, but he had an
infidel book in his trunk, and he said
to me one day, "De Witt, would you
like to read it?' I said, eyes; I would"
L took the book and read it only for a
few minutes. I was really startled
with what 1 saw there, and I handed
the book back to him and said, "You
had better destroy that book" No; he
kept it. He read it. He reread it. Aft
er awhile he gave up religion as a
myth. He gave up God as a nonentity.
He gave up the Bible as fable. He
gave up the church Of Christ as q use
less institution. He gave up good
morals as being unnecessarily strin-
gent. l have heard of him but twice
in many years. The time before the
last heard of him he was a confirmed
inebriate. The last 1 heard of him he
was coming out Of an insane asylum,
in body, mind and soul an awful wreck.
1 believe that one infidel book killed
him for two worlds.
Go home today and look through
your library and then, having looked
through your library, look on the stand
where you keep your pictorials and
newspapers and apply the Christian
principles L have laid down this hour.
If there is anything in your home that
cannot stand the test, do not give it
away, for it might spoil an immortal
soul. Do not sell 1t, for the money you
get would be the price of blood, but
rather kindle a fire on your kitchen
hearth or in your back yard and then
drop the poison in it, and the bonfire
in your city shall be as consuming as
that one in Ephesus.
