years he felt less sure than ever that he
knew anything worth while. and so he
worked his way through Stanford uni

tcndent Of the Vallejo school at a salary
OF s2.40O a year. This would have salts
fed most young men under the circum-

still seourgcd with the ''dvinr discOn-

The dignity of n certain Sunday school
picnic was demoralized the other day be-
fore the scholars and teachers were well
out of town. 1t was arranged that the
majority Of the scholars should go to the
grove on trolley car and that the pas
tor of the flock several teachers and the
baskets should follow in a wagon hired
for the occasion.
This suggestion was followed out, and
the procession started auspicously. The
wagon was n trife in front, and as the
trolley car passed it the pupils of the Sun
day school saw that that made them fear
to look again. Their pastor was sitting
on the seat beside the driver, his broad
brimmed hat on his knee, his hand on the
support of gaudy, yellow umbrella that
shaded the seat, and on the umbrella was
this inscription:
Drink Firewood Whisky"
1t was too late for the scandalized pu-
pills to expostulate. They were whisked
by in short order, and so it was not until
he reached the picnic grounds that the
good man knew what strange device the
banner bore which he had upheld fol
five miles.
When the party returned, the sun was
still in the heavens, but the umbrella was
furled and carefully tucked under the seat
to prevent scandal.-Baltimore News.

There is no disputing the fact that VT
are passing through period of serious
religious declension. The signs are un.
mistakable both in this country and in
Europe. Some of the signs of general
spiritual declcnsiOn were referred to last
Sunday by Archbishop Ireland in a pub
lie address in Detroit and by the Rev. q
Campbell Morgan in his sermon in the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church of New
York The former said: Religion is rap
idly losing ground. There are men espe
cially who never breathe a sigh of prayer
toward heaven. many Of them in public
places, where their influence and ex
ample are bad. Day by day science ant
philosophy are taking the place of re
igiOn. Papers and magazines reflect thes
