SHORT SERMONS.

Our debt 70 the dead is unspeakabfe.
For good or i'll, the world is largely
ruled by the dead.-Rev. B. Fay Mills.
How many people really know as to
the immortality of the soul? Some ar
que we are bound to accept it because
Gods word says SOW. J. Colville.
Religion is altogether a matter OF
faith; matter in which the feelings
are involved, but with which the intel
lect has nothing to do.-Rev. S, w.
Reigart. III
The mysteries we are called upon to
accept in our belief in Christ are not
greater than those confronting the
naturalist in the ordinary phenomena
of life.-Dr. G.. H. Combs.
The happiness or misery of soul
will depend upon the relation of it's
environment in the spiritual world. A
soul that loves God will be happy any
where.--Rev. DR.. E. H. Ward.
Without character culture is white
wash and gold is corruption. Charac-
ter is the only solid basis for racial
development. Races possess charac-
tiers just as ndividuals.-Rev. H. H.
Proctor,
There is plan in every mans life,
and that plan was made by our heav-
emily Father. The highest wisdom
one can show is to wait patiently the
unfolding Of that plan.-Rev. w. L.
Phillips.
The province of the state is to pro-
tect the citizen, but not to involve all
in the benefit of some. Good citizens
are needed to uphold and uplift the
state and keep her honor unsullied.-
Rev. Dr. Patton
The spiritual qualities in the life of
Jesus are the qualities by which the
eternal being of God is to be inter-
preted and measured. AS pure spirit
He is personal and self-conscious.-
Rev. DR.. Behrends.
The rights of the Individual in So
ciety form the very basis of all our
political rights. The homes of the
individual citizens make the state,
the union of states makes the nation.
Rev. Dr. Conaty.
A man of character is a man of
strength and fiber. He has in his
possession that forceful energy which
reproduces the man himself This is
character defined in it's best sense
Rev. DR.. Burroughs.
My criticism of all the partiaIistic or
so-called evangelical churches, given in
the kindliest spirit, is that they lack
faith. They do not believe enough in
God and Christ and man and destiny.
Rev. I. P. Coddington-
Christ is the beginning and end of
the Christians life. He is the SOURCE
of the believers faith. He can alone
cause faith in man. If faith we're
mans work there might be some ex-
cuse for unbeIief.-Rev. C. NJ Jacobs.

THOUGHTS ON COOKS.

der.-Leandor. .|>~,..
It is chiefly through books that we
enjoy intercourse with superior minds.
-Channing. ~=
The value of book consists, not in
what it will do for OUR amusement, but
in what it will communicate.-Grin-

gard as one OF the most powerful en-
gines of civilization ever invented
Herschel.
Would you know whether the ten
dency of a book is good or evil? Ex-
anime in what state of mind you lay ii
down.-Southey. -.
He who writes for fools finds an
enormous audience. Of bad books we
can never read too little; of the good
never too much.-Schopenha

enjoyment of the great intellectual
treasures which are always at hand

withstanding the efforts of my friends.
And consciousness came SO gradually,

this matter. Minutes that were like
weeks, weeks that were like minutes,
passed by during this crisis in 4

weak and helpless that could scarcely

saw the sun shining through
a roof of loosely twined branches; the
next, that after an interval of a mo-
ment, or day, or of many days, I
saw the stars shining through them.
No sound disturbed the delicious still
ness. Then came another impression,
often repeated, of my lips being
touched by food and liquid, which I
took INTERESTINGLY. Did I then begin
to hear whispers, or was it the muir
muring of the breeze through the shell

an actual voice did come to my ears.

The Two ChureIaflIs,

A mans double has been a fruitful
theme in literature, but now here is a
case of mans namesake, as it were
rivaling him in almost every field.
These two men are contemporaries.

are ambitious in literature, and both
have begun to make names for them
selves. One Of these, Winston Church.

,JeSuS'S Folks.

Little Charlie S. was taking his first
railroad journey-at least, the first he
could remember. He and his mamma
were going east. It was such sultry
midsummer day that nearly all
the passengers had fallen into
a doze. Little Charlie wondered
how anybody could sleep when there
was so much to be seen and talked
about. He wasn't sleepy, no, indeedr
His blue eyes were wide open to,
catch everything going on, both inside
and outside the car. There were so:
many things he wanted to know! At
that particular moment he wanted to,
know if the train had left Pennsylva--
MIA yet; if it were any nearer New
York. But his mamma, too was asleep
and being manly little fellow he would
not disturb her. II can't ask anythirg,"
he thought. 'Everybody's asleep. 1
do wish something would happen so
could talk" Presently something did
happen. The train slowed up, and the
porter called out, 'Bethlehem! Beth
lehem!" That didn't seem to arouse
anybody, not even Charles mamma;
but Charlie was SO much excited that
he called out in his clear, high voice,
Mamma, mamma, you must wake up
now! Here's where Jesus folks live!"
When his mamma explained that this
Bethlehem was not the Bethlehem
where the Christ child had lived, the
little fellow was greatly disappointed,
but the rest Of that afternoon the pas
sengers found pleasure in both enter
tanning and being entertained by the
wide-aWake little boy.

And Almost Lost His Sweetheart In the
Bargain.
The llama Of South America is an ex-
pert marksman, though it never uses
it's craft in the procurement of it's food
says Lippincott's. Only when annoyed
and angry Goes it give an exhibition
of it's wonderful skill in hitting the OBJ
ject aimed at. The llama's weapon is
it's mouth; it's bullet is composed OF
saliva and chewed hay. Several years
ago, at the fair grounds in St. Louis
I witnessed an exhibition of this crea-
lures powers of expectoration,i in which
the victim was country beau, who
came very near losing his sweetheart
thereby. This young man was one OF
those self-sufficient individuals who
imagine that knowledge sits enthroned
in the temples of their own personal
intellects; that what they do not know
is not worth knowing" He was an
noying the llama (the animal stood in
the center of it's pen, probably fifteen
feet or more from it's tormentor) by
throwing clods of dirt at it and by
beating on the rails of the pen with
his cane. I saw by the creatures ac-
lions that it was angry; the rapid
movements of it's jaws indicated that
it was preparing to attack it's perse-
cutor. I warned the young man, tell
ing him what to expect; his sweetheart
begged him to desist and to come away.
But he treated my warning with deri-
sion and told the girl that che knew
| his business" Suddenly there came a
whistling noise, followed by a sharp
spat; the young wiseacre lay supine
upon his back with his eyes and fore
head plastered with a disgusting mix
ture Of saliva, hay and mucus.

shouldered her parasol and walked
