Much controversy at law will result

opinion concerning the means by which
the change was accomplished.

GOLD DUST.

Manliness is built on godliness.-
Rams Horn.
What you lose to-day you cannot
gain to-morrow.-John Ruskin.
Confidence is plant of slow growth
in an aged bosom.-William Pitt.
Train yourself to find the good in
what seems evil, to make of disaster
an opportunity for your courage, to
master suffering by patience, to learn
from sorrow sympathy.-G. 5. Mer-
riam.
There is no finer chemistry than
that by which the element of suffering
is so compounded with spiritual forces
that it issues to the world as gentle
ness and trength.-George S. Mer-
Ram.
Here is my work to do, to worry
over. "My work." say; but
if / can know that it is not my work,
but Gods, should / not cast away my
restlessness, even while / worked on
more faithfully and untiringly than
ever?-Phillips Brooks.
And yet if we have reached truth
through freedom of thought, and good
ness through freedom of the spirit, it
argues that we shall reach beauty in
our life through freedom in our work.
And for happiness all of these are
necessary.-Bliss Carman.
Heaven is as present now as ever it
will be. God is here in His magnifi-
cence to-day, as He is in the courts of
the angels. We must not dream of
postponing our Heaven. We must pre-
pare to enter in now by loyal service of
God every instant.-W. III. Claiming.
Eager clutching at the delights of
natural life and making it ones chief
aimis the sure way to lose all its sweet
ness and to miss the higher life; while
the subordination and, if needful, the
sacrifice of life in this world leads
straight to the possession of ''life eter-
nal. "-Alexander McLaren.

A KING ON THE CONGO.


Mr.. Holman Bentley's book, "Pio-
neering on the Congo" gives an
amusing account of the first attempts
of the missionaries to propitiate a
grim old negro king. to whom the
idea of Christianity was new.
He sat in state, and with due re-
gard for his dignity as a monarch.
looked with indifference at the pres
ents displayed before him. His slaves
and soldiers shouted with delight as
cloths, beads, and so forth. were
spread upon the ground; but it was
not until clockwork mouse was
shown that the king himself was
moved to smiles. A negro figure,
which danced when wound up, drove
him into shouts of delighted laugh
TER.
He gave the missionaries a site for
their house. but paid no attention tc
their teachings. regarding them sim
ply as strange folk. the makers of
magical, wonderful toys.
After several months it CHANGED
during a famine. that poor little
slave boy was cast out to starve by
a brutal master. One of the mission
aries brought him home, and fed and
nursed him. But after seven weeks
of care and kindness the outcast died,
and was buried by the missionaries
with every token of respect and
honor.
Then the old king made a speech in
public, declaring that this kindness
to poor slave child, for whom no.
body cared. had impressed him more
than all the gifts or sermons of the
strangers.
This man nursed poor Tempe. and
helped him." the king said, land
when he died buried him as if he had
been his uncle, in lot of warm
cloths, and fenced in his grave. /

in it that is wonderful. 1 cannot

Men may be impressed by the cere-
monies, the sermons and the argu-
ments of different sects, but it is
