THE POPULACE WENT FISHING.
The Man With the Pole is the Hero
of the Hour.

''The Man With the Hoe" was all
right from a poetic standpoint, but had
the author lived in Americas, and at
this season of the year, he would have
sung of "The Man With the Pole" in
stead. Business lis dull, people want
recreation; they are afflicted with ''that
tired feeling" for which fishing is the
panacea, and stralghtway they go fish
ing. The whole populace, seemingly,
went yesterday. The streets were de-
serted; stores ditto. One day of the
week it all that is needed here now for
the transaction of business.

Severity With Sin.

There are certain diseases which re-
guire heroic treatment. There are cer-;
tain misdemeanors which require radi-
cal discipline. The only method which
ran be employed with sin is the method
Of downright severity. And yet it is
very common now to regard this matter
lightly. Sin is considered as a misfor-l
tune. We have laid the larger share OF
the blame upon our ancestors, exhibiting
good deal of cowardice ourselves in
the shift Of the burden. And we tend
to regard the treatment necessary as
demanding at the most only mild pa
tience.
We need to be aroused to a severer.
handling Of sin. The results Of It are
not so important as the roots Of It.
When we have safely escaped the evil
consequences of our wrong doing, we
have taken only the first step. Then
comes the time for severity with the
wrong motive which is somewhere hid
den in our own breasts. With this we
must be severe. It is no time for triAing
Or halfway methods. Eradication Is
the only process. Just as the knife is
necessary in certain diseases which have
gripped the tissues of the body, 50 a
kand Of severe spiritual surgery is nec-
essary in the case Of sin. Get down to
the roots of this matter. Be severe with
the very motives Of the heart.-Zion's
Herald. .. %

Differences OF Perception.

fore q child, aud he sees q mass Of bril-
liant color; before an avaricious eye,
and it gloats over the stately embodi-
ment Of so much cash; before a devotee
of anatomy, and he finds revelation
of so much bodily proportion; before a
mineralogist, and he perceives so much
chemical and mineral truth; before an
artist, and he gazes on so much skill
and beauty; before a man Of moral in-

Shut In with God.

AlR along our earthly life we are shut
in with God, as it were. in little spaces.
We must live day at a time. The
mornings are little hilltops from which
we can look down into the narrow val
ley of one little day. What lies over
the next hill we cannot tell. Perhaps,
when we come to it, it may reveal to us
n lovely garden through which our path
shall 20 on. Or it may show us vale
of shadows, or a path amid briers. No
matter: we have but the one little val
ley of the day now in sight. Evening is
our horizon. Here in this one little days
enclosure we can rest as in refuge.
Tomorrow's storms and cares cannot
touch us.-J. r. Miller, D. D.

Duty of Cheerfulness.

Some will say, perhaps: Zone cannot
always be cheerful. How can one be
cheerful with rheumatism, with disap-
pointment and want and hard labor?
How can one be cheerful when the
cares of life chafe and fret the heart,
and burdens press heavily on the weary
soul?" Some answer to this question 1
shall attempt. We must remember that
the most cheerful people are not those
who are least invaded by sorrow and
pain. The spirit may be invincible. We
must not forget that always very much
depends on our own deliberate purpose.
II We concentrate our gaze on a dark
object, soon all light fades out Of our
field of vision and we see only the dark.
We magnify the ills of life by contem-
plating them. We think about the. dis
tressful things, while the pleasant
things come and 60 often unnoted.
There is another and a better way: Re-
solve persistently to look on the bright
ide, to see the good. wi"

scrutinize evidence, and weigh probable

support Of their beliefs, they are sure
that their aff1rmations are true.
