HanGei's Annet;te

George Frederick Handel, who
was composer at the age of nine
and had written three operas before
ne was fifteen, was a man of un-
commonly large appetite, and it is
told of him that whenever he stop-
ped at an inn or elsewhere where the
most was not familiar with the
greatness OF his hunger he would
order dinner for three.
Upon one occasion he gave his or
der for three as usual, and when the
hour for dinner arrived he called
to his host:
"Ees de timer retty?'
1T will be served, sir, immediate
ly upon the arrival of your compa-

"Ach," said Handel, with a laugh,

Artificial Fruit Blossoms.

There is an artistic use of artifi-
cial flowers and foliage in interior
decorations which those who love
the genuine growth are apt to dis
dain the bare mention of. Much of
this feeling springs from a want of
knowledge where to put artificial
bloom or plants. Skillful as are
the French flower makers, none can
compare to the Japanese in giving
the very duplicate of nature in fruit
tree bough and blossom. This we
have stood in rapture over when
first the twigs of cherry and plum
covered with buds and flowers sold
at 81 the branch. Now we may
have the best part of the whole tree,
its wondrous floral wreath attached
to the natural wood of the tree, for
$50 and $50. Smaller selections
for some handsome vase will cost
us $12 or $S, as we may elect.

A Bicycle Clock.

A clock made of parts of bicycles
is the production of an ingenious
Frenchman. 1t is twelve feet high,
the framework consisting of one
specially made wheel and twelve or
binary ones, all fitted with pneu-
matte tires. The figures denoting
the hours are made of crank rods
and are attached to an inner rim.
The hands are of the steel piping
used for the framework of bicycles.
The minute strokes are small nick
ell spOkes, and the top of the clock
is a curious arrangement of twelve
handle bars. The clock strikes the
hours and quarters on bicycle bells.

Personal Effort

The ministers of the town are look
ing forward with anxiety and hope to
the union meetings, which are appoint
ed to begin April Doth, in the Methodist
church, to be conducted by the pastors
of the town. 1t is persistently stated,
restated and reiterated, that the sue
cess of the meetings will depend upon
the character and amount of personal
effort" put forth on the part of the
laity, the private members Of the
church. The ministers, in all their
preparatory services, emphasize the
point that the success or failure OF this
united effort will be measured by the
personal work done by the members OF
the churches participating, by 'per
sOnal work" among us, on such oc-
casions, in generally understood TO be
going out among the people, in the
congregations talking privately with
them as to their religious duty-per-
sonally soliciting the unconverted TO
decide 10 lead a better life, and TO take
some immediate steps, or make some
public profession. This we believe, is
what is generally meant by personal
effort, during a series of services.
The object of this article is not 10 dis
count personal effort and work. under
proper conditions. personal effort" is
the pleasure and duty OF the followers
of Christ, and should be encouraged.
But, is it not the fundamental truth of
religion that the preaching OF the gos-
pei, pure and simple, by ministers
whom God has called and prepared, is
the chief agency in the winning of men
to better life? AS we see it, the
preaching Of the gospel is the means of
the salvation OF men. Ministers some
times unconsciously perhaps, shift
their responsibilities, as we all like To
do, to other peoples shoulders. No
amount OF personal work, or per
sonal effort" can, or ought to, COM
pensate, for a poorly prepared, or i'll
delivered sermon.
A certain amount of manipulation"
of the private membership is restored
usually, we believe, in all so-called
successful revivals, but after all it is
the preaching Of pure gospel-which
is TO win men from sin to righteousness,
and no amount of personal effort"
on the part of people, poorly equipped
perhaps, can compensate for poorly
prepared or cold, unscriptural sermons.
We wish To distinctly disclaim any
disparagement, in any manner, of the
zeal or ability of our ministers-they
are above the average, perhaps, in
both, but we have all seen some of the
unsatisfactory results of two much
personal effort" in revivals, where the
real divine power seemed to be lacking.
THE sword of the spirit is distinctly
declared to be "the word Of God" The
personal effort" of Ananias as would
have futile had not Paul first been
convicted by the light and voice from
heaven.

Every time she saw a really artistic

and mounted the picture on a heavy
piece of cardboard. Then with a

painted over the print, the varying
lights and shades being exquisitely
brought out merely through the
transparency of the colors. She in
formed me, too, that but little tech

instinct was necessary in selecting
proper frames so as to relieve the

Chr stan UNITY.

Editor the NEws:-Iu your last
weeks issue, In the article on Chris
tian Unity you said: Little is said
of 1t from the pulpit and less in the
papers" HavIngj ust read when Your
paper came TO hand an article of
eighteen pages of discussion and
comments from the English papers.
l thought these references TO the
subject indicated "A revival of The
agitation. The union of all the
Methodist bodies in Canada n few
years ago resulted in general dis
cusslon of the matter; for the present
the direction is not toward OF ganic
union, but toward fraternity, and a
better understanding, and allotment
of work and &C operation between the
different denominations. Not a nm
ION of denominations, but union of
living Christian souls, which reach
out eager hands for true communion
aud fellowship. Across the gulf of
differences of Church polity and deg
matte theology, we see the extended
hands of sympathy, confidence and
charity. There is less of ministerial
exclusiveness, of denomiuatIonala as
sertiveness and very little bitterness.
Remuneration. "The UNIVERSAL priest
hood of believers is being recognized
who's office and ministry consist not
In the illustrations of the Word and
sacrament but In the family aud in
the various phases of Church and
common life whice God has on lain

Christ and his church." No one who
has his eyes open can fail to realize
that there is BROADENING of Chris
tian sympathies and activities and
that the assumption of absoluteness
in dogma or polity on the part of
any denomination will not be telera-
ted. Therefore to rush the idea of
organic union, would result in the
union of hands, but not in hearts.

the end of time; but they need not
