vesg. ana Tor that farmer who is sick the
neighbors have made a bee as they call
it. and they have all turned in to help
him get his crops into the garner? And
they tell me that the older and more
skillful reporters who have permanent
positions on papers are helping the young
fellows who are just beginning to try
and do not know exactly how 10 do it.
And after a few erasures and interpOla-
tons on the reporters pad they say,
Now, here is a readable account of that
tragedy; hand It IN, and l am sure the
managing editor will take it,
"And l heard this morning Of a poor
DID man whose three children were in hot
debate as to who should take care of him
in his declining days. The oldest son de-
clared that it was his right because he
was the oldest, and the youngest son said
it was his right because he was the
youngest, and Mary said it was her right
because she better understood fathers
vertigo and rheumatism and poor spells
and knew better how to nurse him, and
the only way the difficulty could be set
tied was by the old mans promise that he
would divide the year into three parts and
spend a third of his time with each one Of
them. And neighboring stores in the
same line of goods on the same block are
acting kindly to each other. It seems to
me that those words of Isaiah are being
fulfilled when he says, THE carpenter en-
couraged the goldsmith and he that
smoothed with the hammer, him that
smote the anvil, saying, it is ready for
the soldering What is the matter? 1t
seems to me our old world is picking up.
Why, the millennium must be coming in.
Kindness has got the victory"
New DIspensatiOn of GenInIity.
I My hearers, you know and l know We
are far from that state Of things. But
why not inaugurate u new dispensatior
Of geniality. If we cannot have a millen
MUM on a large scale, let US have it on &
small scale and under our own vestments
Kindness! If this world is ever brOugh
to God, that is the thing that will do it
You cannot fret the world up, although
you may fret the world down. You can
not scold it into excellence or reformation
or godliness.
