The hard part in the way of saliva
ton. If there be a hard part at all, Is
constancy. 1t is endurance in little
things and endurance to the end; II is
remaining faithful unto death rather
than doing some great thing or con-
quering in some fierce and agonzinS
battle. The Christian builds up his
character or the tower of its strength,
little by little, stone by stone, in the
rising wall or he fights his battle with
one evil at time. the rest being re-
strained by that benefcent power
which fights with him and freely lends

the battle is not doubtful.-Helper.

The spirit of gratitude is a character.
istic of the noblest human nature. No
trait in men is so base as ingratitude.
To receive benefits and not to appre.
ciate and acknowledge the obligation
under which they place us to the giver
shows heart where selfishness crowds
out all the higher and better qualities.
Not to recognize God as the giver of
the best we have in this life speaks
loudly OF thoughtlessness. If not OF
something baser, in us. Much of purest
devotion and sweetest spiritual com
rnunion and comfort comes in the
times of quiet retirement, when we
shut out all the world, and just think
of the home, friends, opportunities, en-
joyments, hopes, prospects, promises
and successes which have been given
us and turn in humble gladness and
gratitude to God as the one who has
guided and given all to us.
But it would be serious mistake TO
thank God only for the pleasurable.
The sorrows, priyations, disappolnt-
ments and sutferngs we have expert
enced have in many instances been Of
greatest benefit to us. Sweetness of
disposition comes to many persons not
by natural inheritance, Unborn, but
only after years of bitter reverses and
heartache, when from experience of
pain and seeking for strength and re
lief of soul the Saviour has been
found us comforter ana gentleness OF
word and deed blossoms and fruits
from the inner soul culture which has
learned 10 say in all sincerity, Thy
will be done.
How much we have to be thankful
for! Do you ever stop TO reckon up
your merciesf Are you ever glad with
a godly gladness that you are who you
are, and where you are, and as you
are? What a blessed individuality Is
possible to each Of us, No one else
sees and hears, feels, thinks and
speaks just as we can. God comes TO
you in q manner somewhat different
from what He ever appeared to any
one else in all the world DO you
catch the full meaning of this and its
possible effect on your being? You
are to sing n song no one else can
sing, round out to perfection an in

enced a fair improvement. which was en- tirely opposite to what the early outlook indicated. Morning cables from Liver pool were quite discouraging, stating In effect that tho market appeared forsaken, owing to poor trade, and speculative sup port having been exhausted.
 The fact that the barrier of four pence had been broken was expected to be sig nalized by rapid descent of values, but events took a different turn. The weather chart showed that rain had set in throughout the belt, and predictions of colder weather, with frost followed. This feature created some timidity amongst shorts, who proceeded to cover, and the demand from this source reflected a steadier tone in Liverpool.
 Late cables reported prospects of im- proving trade in Austria, which, with lighter interior receipts, and steadier tone of spots, helped to stimulate the sit uation Closing quotations are about 5 points above yesterday.
 The occurrence of unfavorable weather was quite opportune, inasmuch as it pre- vented a further decline, which the at titude of Liverpool suggested.
 The improvement thus established, how ever, is not regarded with favor. and speculative assistance is restricted by the fear that spot holders will not cease in the effort to force sales, as they have manifested such determination on pre- vious occasions, and 1t Is not thought that today's developments will change thor dispostion--much doubt accordingly exists about the present steadiness being maintained.

Murphy e CO.'S Stock Letter.

New York, November 12.-Thes stock market in the early dealings continued to show the buoyancy, activity and liver sity which have been It's characteristic since the revival of the recent bull en- thusiasm. A slight reaction on profit taking followed the first hours business but in the early afternoon there was a vigorous and general rally which in many instances carried prices to the highest figures of the day. This was es- pecially true of Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, St. Paul and Fries and Reading stocks. The entire local traction Central Pacific, Union Pacific, Chicago and East ern Illinois, the Hooking Valley stocks and many of the specialties. The leader in the last mentioned group was Air Brake which scored a maximum advance of over per cent The American smelt- ing and refining stocks, American Loco motive issues and Amalgamated were among the strong features. The railroad news of the day was encouraging and despite strength of foreign exchange some uouDts were raised in current gossip as to whether gold exports engagements Thursday would be material in amount
 The natural effect of recent realizing on sales was felt in the dealings of the last hour and near the close the general re- action was accelerated by selling by bears. The bidding up of money to a little higher than the recent average rates was used as an excuse for attract ing prices. There were numerous re- actions of l to per cent from the high est of the day. Sugar was specifically affected by renewed price reduction fin the trade, but otherwise there was no particular influence at work in the bear direction. The market closed generally weak. Government bonds unchanged: railroad bonds lost little in activity and reacted somewhat in sympathy with stocks. Sales of stocks. 940,000 shares.

 The market here soon showed a dis reports from the greater portion of the belt rumors that the interior movement from now on would be much smaller, and claims that Southern spot markets were picking up new strength caused the shorts to abandon aggressive tactics and came in from the South and Wall street, and room bulls supported the market with confidence Before midday prices were slowly started back to nearly last nights bid under profit taking and light selling on the reaction theory based on exceptionally large port receipts.
