Reflections of n Bachelor.

There are lots of hogs that are
good church members.
To be success in the world a
man has got to make the world re-
sent his being in it.
A man is never very mad at a
woman when he is willing to tell
her what he is mad at.
A woman can never carry out
her resolutions to snub another
woman if she meets her when she
has on her new hat.
Every man ought to lay down the
rule that he won't dig up his wife's
beds till she let's him wear his
spring overcoat.

The bishops of the M. q. church
have called on the ministers and
members of the church through the
world to celebrate this week as q
week of prayer, and to leave off all
pleasure and social gatherings and
devote the week to prayer and sup
plication to God for blessings on
the church. This order from the
House of Bishops is in consequence
of the church returns for the past
year showing a great falling off in
the church membership, and in all
of the church organizations. In
the Sunday schools alone, there
was a decrease of over $4,000 dur
ing the year.
This is the most remarkable de-
orease ever experienced by the M
e. church.
