The table decorations were unique and

The Secular Paper and the
Churches.
Associate Reformed Presbyterian.


Complaint is often made that the
secular papers devote so little atten-
tion to The churches aud give such
Door accounts of religious meetings,
This may be true of the great met
ropolitan dailies, particularly those OF
the "yellown type, but it is not true
of many of the dailies in the smaller
cities and towns, aud it is especially
not true of the county papers. One
reason why they do not publish more
is probably because the information is
not accessible to them. Surely in this
section of our land the Churches re-
reive good treatment at the hand OF
of our newspapers. You can scarcely
pick up one without seeing some an
nouncement published witkout charge,
some report of q meeting, some ref
erence to the work of congregation,
or some kind and complimentary
notice of pastor. Our denomination
has been particularly fortunate. We
do not know of all account of our
Church courts that ever sent the pa
pers that was not published. Our
constituency in any given State is
small yet the papers have passed that by
and inserted what was written. To
our congregation the local papers,
wherever published, are very kind in
deed. This true in all of the States.
Almost without exception wherever
we have church in town where q
paper is published, that paper is com
plimentary to our work and renders
invaluable assistance. 1t is constant
ly saying kind word about the pastor
and the progress of the Chuch. Many
secular papers would render still more
aid if the pastors and Church people
would put themselves to little trouble
to give the necessary information

A steadfast purpose, diligently pur-
sued, is the only path to an overcom-
ing life.
Not to minister but to be ministered
unto is the theory with which some
set out in life not to give but to get,
and that ends always in soul poverty
and loneliness.
Foolish waste of life is pitiful to see;
and the bitterness it brings in the end
to the discontented soul is beyond
words to express.
We can only have the highest hap
piness having wide thoughts and much
feeling for the rest of the world as well
as ourselves.
It is in our own power to attune the
mind to cheerfulness and clearness.

Whore Folks Read.

In four counties of western Massa-
chusetts no less than 12O public libra
ries are in operation, containing $685.
600 books. The towns where they are
located have a population of 3O7, 900.
One Of these libraries was started with
money from a dog tax, and another
was begun with dollar contributions.
Where a special building is lacking. the
books are cared for at the town hall,
engine house, school, or the residence
Of some public-spirited citizen. Some
Of the Librarians give their time with
out salary. In several cases the pay is
from $5 to $50 a year. One librarian
bought a book with her own money,
charged two cents a day for it's use un-
on the cost was covered. and then put
the book in the public collection. The
will and the way on the library ques-
ton have got together in Massachu-

HIS SUPERIOR OFFICER.
How Seaman Jack O'Nem Resented an
Insult to President Mckinley.

How Seaman Jack O'Nelu Resented an
Insult to President Mckinley.
Jack" O'Neill, able seaman in the
United States navy, late a member OF
the crew of the Vicksburg and now on
a naval recruiting detail in the Ma
sonic Temple at Chicago, is nursing a
bruised fist and a sprained wrist, says
a Chicago paper. He has no complaint
to make, but finds satisfaction in
thinking Of the other fellow"
O'Neill looks on the President Of the
United States with a respect too deep
to be measured. The President is
to the seaman the commander-in-chief
Of the army and navy, and that is
enough. O'Neill was standing at
T~hirty-frst street and Michigan ave-
nue. on Friday evening. He had just
heard of the attempt to assassinate
the President and his soul was filled
with wrath. While in this mood a
nan stepped up.
Have you heard about Mckinley be-
ing shot?" the stranger inquired.
Yes; l just heard the news u min
ute ago" replied the able seaman.
well, he ought to be shot for
what"
The stranger never finished the SEN
tence, for O'NeilPs fist landed on the
speakers mouth with a force that sent
him sprawling in the street. AS he
scrambled to his feet he received an
other blow in the face that sent him
down again. Three times the stranger
measured his length on the ground.
Don't hit ne again. he cried. I'll
apologize; I'll apologize"
You bet you will apologize" said
O'Neill, "or I'll beat your head off.
President Mckinley is my superior Of
fcer, and no man can insult him while
I'm around"
A crowd gathered in a moment
among whom were several who had
witnessed the affair. When they told
others what the fight was about ex-
pressions of indignation became SC
loud and threatening that the stranger
made a quick escape down an alley.
