philosophical apparatus, the generous
example of those men of previous
generation being copied in many
places in Canada and the United
States, making life, which would
otherwise be prolonged drudgery, an

stone house, the room on the second
floor twelve feet by fourteen in size.
The annual rent of this room years
ago was $3.50. That was the one room
in which the father and mother OF
Andrew Carnegie lived with the whole
family. Influences were started there
which made Andrew Carnegie the
most distinguished philanthropist of
all time, and what his gifts of great
libraries on both sides the sea will do
for the coming generations do not
think any angel of God would have
enough capacity to calculate. Who
could bind the sweet influences of that
Pleiades?
Influence of Other Worlds.
Notice also in my text the influence
of other worlds upon this world. We
all regard the effect which our CONT
nent has upon other continents or one
hemisphere upon the other hemi-
sphere. Great harvest or drought on
one side of our world affects the other
side of our world. A panic in
Wall street. New York. has it's echo
in Lombard street and the bourse.
The nations of the earth cable
grammed together all feel the same
thrill of delight or shock Of woe. But
We do not appreciate the influence of
other worlds upon our world. The
author Of my text rouses us to the
consideration. 1t takes all the worlds
of known and unknown astronomy to
keep our world in its orbit, every
world dependent on other worlds. The
stellar existence is felt all through the
heavens. Every constellation is sis
terhood. Our planet feels the bene-
diction of Alcyone and all the other
stars of the Pleiades. Yea, there are
two other worlds that decide the fate
of our world, its redemption or its de-
molition. These two worlds are the
headquarters of angelology and dem
onology. From the one world came
Christ, come ministering spirits, come
all gracious influences. From the
other world rise all satanic and dia-
bolic influence. From that world Of
moral night rose the power that
wrecked our poor world 5000 years
ago. and all the good work done since
then has not been able to get our
world out OF the breakers. But the
signals of distress have been hoisted
worlds release is certain. The good
influences of the consecrated people in
our world will be centupled by the
help from the heavenly world, and the
divine power will overcome the de-
moniac. o man, o woman, expand
your idea and know the magnitude of
a contest in which three worlds are
specially interested. From all the
seven worlds which my text calls the
Pleiades there come no such powerful
influences as from the two worlds
that I am now mentioning. My only
hone for this world IL in the re-
enforcement that Is to come from an
other world. But that is promised,
and SO feel as sure of the ratification
of all evil as though looking out of
my window today l saw the parks and
the gardens Towering into another
paradise and the apocalyptic angel
flying through the mist of heaven
with the news that the kingdoms of
this world have become the kingdoms
of our Lord.
The wife's influence.
Not sufficiently do we recognize the
sweet influence of the wife. We men
are of rougher mold, and our voice is
loud, and our manners need to be
tanned, and gentleness is not as much
of a characteristic as 1t ought to be,
and we often say things we ought to
take back. 1t is to change this that
the good wife comes In. The interests
of the twain are identical. That which
from outsiders would be considered
criticism and to be resented becomes
kindly suggestion, sweet influences
that make us better men than we
otherwise would have been or could
have been.
The last chapter OF Proverbs recog-
nizes the good wife's influence when 1t
says, Her husband is known in the
gates when he stitch among the elders
of the land''-that is, his apparel
indicates that he has some one to look
after his wardrobe, and his manners
show that he Is under refining infiu-
ences at home. But no one fully ap-
preciates the sweet influences of the
wife until the dark day comes and the
slight symptoms become serious and
the serious phases of the disorder pass
into the fatal and the temperature is
LOG and mental ingenuity Is exhausted
and you are told for your consolation
that while there is life there is hope"
which means there Is no hope at all,
and the precious life fiutters and is
gone and you must put out of sight
the one who from the day she took
the vow amid the orange blossoms
under the marriage bell had been to
Then you realize as never before what
had been the sweet influences.
The World of Reunion.

ly world, which many wise men
thought for long while was Alcyone.
