Tramps on the Cars.

The box car Is often entered by
sprinsing the door OF its iron way at
the side opposite the seal. A party So
ing one way will do this for q party
going the opposite direction, and then,
when all are In, springing the door
back again. Since everything exter'
nally is in the best Of order, long trips
may be made In this manner without
disturbance or interruption.

Almost no preacher to-day dwells ex'
clusively upon sin, salvation and the re.
lation OF Christ to the sinner" says the
Congregationalist. of Boston and Chicago
Important as these themes are, other as:
poets OF the mission of Christ in the world
and OF the purpose of Christianity are
being brought to the front. We regard
this as extremely desirable. Preaching is
something more than the reiteration oi
traditional truths in conventional ecclesi.
ast;cai language. A sermon is the embodi;;
ment OF a mans deepest and most real
thought, phrased in words which every
body can understand and addressed to the
real needs OF rea! people. Jesus Christ wa.
a popular preacher. He employed parallels
and talked about the lilies and the clouds,
the barrel OF meal and the play OF little
children. and weighed carefully all His
words with a view to making the truth
which filed and flooded His own soul
plain. winsome and powerful in the eyes Of
others"

Tho Suine's Brother.

Did you you ever see pig in an orchard
with his whole intellect ben. on getting an.
other apple into his stomach?
His round. shrcwd. greedy little ewes
scrutinize the earth in all directions. His
ear twitci,es quickly to catch the sound Of
an apple as it falls, and his fat body, with
amazing speed. obeys the message OF the
ear and rushes to get the apple.
But in all his wanderincs through the or
chard that pig never looks upward. never
thinks OF the source OF the apples that fall
near him. His mind is never raised above
the ground on which he walks. The ap-
pies on the low.hanging boughs almost
brush against his brist,cs, but his eyes do
not see them.
The pigs sight and mind and concen-
tratcd attention are all turned downward
He is incapable of SO much as an upward
glance.
And the pig. voted the loves: OF the
animals by public opinions Just decree. is
typical OF the man whom whisky is grahu-
ally depriving of mis- manhood, chan-ing
him into swine or swines brother

Nni,ler ThinRt.

The INV of the earth life is fuctuation,
change. Men change in their likes and
disliEcs. Children are interested in trink
cts. toys and gewsaws but when they be
come men and women no more OF these
for them. Riches interest for 4 time. but
men either die or leave them. or they fail
to give them comfort in old age. The soul
demands something nob!er. more enduring
than these. But. to love these temporal
satisfying things is to become so al
sorbed in them as to fail to consider the IL
terests which are eternal; and to live an:
die thus loving. thus absorbed in the flesh
life. IL to pass naked, hopeless; unsaved
into the eternal world. Then whose shall
those things be which thou hast ?rovided.'

arms were driven into their sockets and
his back was twisted out OF shape. He
never recovered, and was ever after that
an object Of pity as he made his way along

gave half OF all he had to the man who had

There is but one more bridge, and as q

word is that il We sin against the Holy
Ghost there is no forgiveness. Our refusal
may ono day be accepted.
III.
We are not so familiar with the Holy
Ghost as with the Son of God and with
God Himself. We have learned concerning
His personality, we have had visions OF
His power, We read stories OF His work,
but It ought to be remembered that every
impression we have toward good in these
days comes from Him, for He talks Of the
things of Christ and shows them unto us.
Sometimes His seekings have been in
trouble, always in a revival. He calls
sometimes by the ministry. There Is q
special call given to US frequently IN COOS
providences; generally through our friends
who are Christians He speaks to us the
things of God. One OF my friends took a
seat in a railway train next to a man, and
in his conversation learned that he had
Just become Christian. He said that it
was through a letter written him by his
mother. NV friend asked to see the letter
which would mean the conversion OF q
man, and he answered, it is not so much
in what she says, but it is the way, she
signs her name; you can see that her hand
has trembled, and when ! read it I said,
Il she dies no one else will ever ask me to
be a Christian again. This is true Of the
Holy Ghost. II we sin against Him there
is no hope for us. A three-fold cord is not
quickly broken. but We have, as it were.
snapped two OF the strands and the third

human being has or can. Remember that

will in a few years. at most, close over

when she is gone. you will think Of her
