There was a good strong tone to the local
market for corn at the outset, and the
outlook appeared to be exceedingly bright.
The bull influences at this time were the
cables. Liverpool being reported quite

vailed for the past twenty-four hours, with
prospects for a continuance. The receipts
were not as large as they have been. and
country acceptances were said to be small,

the cash demand. Foreign news by private

Facts About Tired Eyes.

DR.. Lotion. prominent English
physician, says there is popular no
ton that 1t Is much more dangerous to
tire the eyes by use than 1t is to tira
any other organ Of the body. 1t is not
necessarily injurious to the legs or the
arms or the brain to become tired. for
proper rest may restore all these 10
their normal condition. The same Is
true in regard to the eyes.
Proofreaders. sewing women md me-
chanics, who use their eyes for long
time upon near objects, must Of ne
cessity weary the muscles that adjust
the eye to vision; but If the WEAKNESS
is compensated for by rest at proper
intervals there Will be no harm done
10 the eyes. for they are SO construct
cd that TREY can bear 'm3ximum ia
tig!le as we'll as other parts of the
body. Education would cease. all re
chanical work would soon have an end
If the eyes Of our school children and Of
certain kinds Of workmen We're never
tired Eyes are never overWorkeG,
even II they feel very tired when the
task Is done, If their natural power
and freshness return after the proper
intervals of rest during the day and
sleep at night. .-.

WESTMINSTER CONFESSION.
II Surveys tho Entire Tisld Of Theology
-Ets Hssto1r v

In the year l643 the Long Parlia-
nlent appointed the celebrated convo-
cation known as the Westminster AS
sembly, or Assembly OF Divines. for
the purpose OF settling the doctrina
liturgy, and government Of the church
OF England. 1t consisted OF 1sl clergy
men and 80 lcymen-10 OF whom, were
lords and 20 ccmnoners-tosethe1
with four clerical and two lay commits.
sloners from the Church OF Scotland.
Thlrty-five of those whose names were
contained IN the ordinance calling the
Assembly, which was dated June IA
1913. never appeared at the discussion
one or two Of them having died about
the time OF the first meeting, and the
others fearing the displ.asure OF the
King. To supply the place OF these alb
sentees, some additional mcmbers
called the superadded divines, were
summoned to attend. This notable
assembly held its first meeting on July
l. l643, and continued to sit till Feb.
ruary %, 1649. during which time II
met l,le3 times. Its most important
work was concluded long before. Thu
fresoyterians formed large majority
anu exercised a corresponding inf,u-
eace. In doctrine the members were
almost unanimous; but on the subject
or church government opinions ex-
tremely opposite were maintained with
ksenness, especially on the question
touching the sphere and limits of the
civil power IN matters ecclesiastical
The principal fruits of its deliberations
were the Directory Of Public Worship,
the Confession Of Faith, the Shorter
Catechism.. and the Larger Catechism
These several formularies, which con-
tain a clear and rigid embodiment OF
CalyiHistic theology and Ptesby terian
church government constitute to this
day the authorized Presbyterian stand
ards. The Confession OF Faith consists
OF thirty-three chapters, so you can
very readily understand that 1t would
be inadvisable to publish it here in
full. Beginning with the canon OF
Scripture, 1t Surveys the entire field
OF theology. deals also with the. rela-
lions of the state to the church, the
constitution of the church itself. and
concludes with the topics Of death, the
resurrection, and the last judgment.
Its precise logic, its clear, dignifed and
powerful diction, and it's constant ref
ercnce to Scripture in proof of its
statements, tended greatly to beeet
that influence to which it attained.
