The New Story in McClurc,s Magazine.

The New Story In McClure's Magazine
The new story by MIR. Harrington is
a beautiful and Romantic Love Story
dealing with life in Indiana at the
time of the Mexican War. 1t was o
time of simple culture and much Joy of
life, when the rigors of the ruder pi-
oneer life had passed away and the
people were still untouched by the pro-
gressiye commercial spirit that came
with fhe railroads. In the hustle OF
people and events constantly appear
the hero and heroine, whose love is the
main theme of the stOry--an ideal love
which might have existed anywhere
and at any time, but which is the more
interesting because 1t comes out at q
characteristic American period and in
q time that, though recent, has passed
away and has neyer before been so
beautifully portrayed.

EPW0RTH LEAGUE TOPIC
l. FOR TOMORROW EVENING

Cheerful Amid Adversely Acts,
xxvii:22- s6. Epworth League topic for
Sunday evening. September IS. 1892.
The following helpful thoughts from
the ''Epworth Herald are worth con
sidering:
Seed Thoughts.
Thank God for enemies; they have
made US what we are: they have been
schooimasters, disciplInarians. But for
them We should not be haIf-growa TO-
day; We should be mere babies Still: brt
they forced US to read and think and
pray; they drove US to it, they shut US
up with the eternal. Joseph Parker.
CheeTfulness is only a symptom. It
is sign of something deeper. OF. 1t Is
ike the laughter Of fools.
Only the religious man can be truly
glad. Other gladness is artificial and a
sham.
4 dare no more fret than curse and
swear--John Wesley.
All adversely can be borne If It fs ex-
ternaI
All adversely has had an opportunity.
and failed. 81 have overcome''-for
you!
Adversely is a means Of grace to the
world 1t shows what Christian can
suffer.
Fire works according to its material
Some it scorches. some it destroys. some
it distOrts, some it refnes.
The Cheerful Christian
Is consistent.
Scatters sunshine.
Can sing in the dark.
Sees God in every experience.
Makes his troubles teach him new
song.
Takes the lead in discouraging expe-
riences.
Never gives up.
Looks from the temporal to the per
manent
Has the best reason for cheerfulness.
Can be happy in prison.
Can be thankful for losses.
Rejoices in trtDulation.
Seeks for the silver lining to every
cloud
Has courage which is contagious.
Has faith that viii not shrink.
Is not a victim of circumstances.
Thinks of h:z mercies.
Sees chances for service in his hard
experiences.
Believes that to him all things work
together for good.
Knows that nothing befalls him by
chance
Trusts
Does not know the meaning of self
pity
Counts his blessings.
