The Uniform Standard.
By joint resolution of congress. in 1885
the treasurer of the United States was
ordered to send a complete set Of the
standard weights and measures adopted
by the national government to the gov
errors Of all the states, so that there
might be uniformity and accuracy, and
that distribution was made. So, now.
the Ruler of earth and heaven, having es-
tablished forever the right standard.
sends to US all and to all people copy of
that standard-the standard by which
1.-THE Lord weigheth the spirits
What a world this will be when It is
weighed after its regeneration shall have
taken place! Scientists now guess at the
number of tons our world weighs, and
they put the Apennines and the Sierra
Nevadas and Chimborazo and the Hima-
layas in the scales. But if weighed as to
its morals al the present time in the royal
balance the heaviest things would be the
wars. the international hatreds, the
crimes mountain high, the moral disas-
tiers that stagger the hemispheres on their
way through immensely. But when the
gospel has gardenized the earth, as it will
yet gardeniZe it. and the atmosphere
shall be universal balm and the soil will
produce universal harvest and fruitage
and the last cavalry horse shall be unsad-
died and the last gun carriage unwheel-
ed and the last fortress turned into a mu-
scum to show nations in peace what a
horrid thing war once was, then the
world will be weighed, and as the oppo-
site side Of the scales lifts as though It
was light as feather the right side Of
the scales will come down, weighing more
than all else those tremendous values
that st. Peter enumerated-faith, virtue.
knowledge. temperance, patience, godli-
ness, brotherly kindness, charity.
God forbid that it should ever be writ
ten concerning us as individuals or COM
munities or nations as it was written on
the wall Of Belshazzar's banuueting hall
the hour when Daniel impeached the
monarch and translated the fiery words
which blahehed the cheeks of the jewellers
and made them drop their chalices brim-
ming with wine, "'rhOu art weighed in
the balances and found wanting"

a man OUT OF work. without money and
without food for his family applied not
long since to Rev. DR.. George S. Ander-
son, pastor Of the Highland Avenue Con-
Eregational church of Somerville, Mass
His case touched the clergyman's heart
Investigation proved the mans tale Of
woe to be true. Then he conceived the
idea Of establishing a woodward on a
small scale. Several cords Of wood were
purchased and piled up in the big base
ment of the church. Men out of work
and seeking employment were invited to
come to the chopping block.
The plan proved a success. For every
foot Of scantling sawed the man with the
saw received 20 cents. Two feet or a
quarter of a cord, sawed and split, max
ing five sugar barrels full, netted the
worker 90 cents. This was considered a
fair days work
Four Of these barrels Of kindling are
sold for 81. Members Of the church buy
them. This pays the first cost of the
scantlings and the labor besides. No
profit is made. The benefit Of the deal
goes to the man who works
