PASSING IT OVER.
The Right View of Life, It's sorrows
Difficulties and Probl ms
Christ the Pattern.

If we could restrain our often too
ready tongues and fiery tempers until
the storms of human, every-hour and
everyday trials pass over, what shad-
ows we would arise through!-aye,
smiling, as we saw them vanishing into
the distant ~nothingness of oblivion. If
we could but reason calmly and pa.
tiently and resolutely with ourselves,
as we betimes must bear the foot
bruises along life's rugged pathway,
and battle them in his heavenly dew
of hope until even the scars leave not
a vestige of their existence as we gaze
upon them again with the solacino
eyes of eternal faith; if we could only
train u human ears to listen to the
tolls of sorrow that rebound upor
them as we perforce must often see
the heavy clods falling upon some
beloved breast; if we could only train
our hearts to thrill with the ecstacy of
a higher trust and a supremer love in
stead of morbid human despair when
some mortal eye, some hand, some
voice in which we yainly trusted, OIL
so fondly, desecrates the pedestal OF
loyal friendship and honor upon which
u love elected their endurance, had
turned to mock us, or thrown us help
lessly aside. or traduced us by calumny
or distrustful suspicious. All, yes! il
we only could do these things how diff.
ferent would our lives seem in THEN
passing. But we must only try, re-
Numbering u Savior's heavy heart
and cross-wearied shoulders. and His
bleeding feet on the lonely road tc
Calvary. He also had to reach the i'm
mortal goal of peace through life's
bitterest shadows. He smiled angelic
ally at His enemies, and to-day He
turns-oh! we know not how often
to blot III the sins of His wandering
human fold as they cry out to Him fol

AFTERWARD.

After the weary marches
Through wilderness and dune,
After the hopeless discord
OF lives played out of tune,
After the lonely grieving
Ger loved ones lost in sin,
After the arnes striving
Some precious souls to win.
After the patient struggles
For right against the wrong,
Another life's lesson learning
ITO suffer and grow strong
There'n come a sudden stiffness,
While one might hold his BREATH
IT'S blu the hush of a moment,
But the worlo will call it-death.
And then will burst the rapture
OF a fully ransomed soul,
And Ger the startled spirit
Seraphic songs will roll.
To eyes all used to earth's scenes
Rare vision will be given.
And all the souls great longings
Be satisfied in Heaven.

A Family

Christianity is a family affection
Even the fatherhood of God woulc
be robbed of much of its charm if il
did not lead to a better appreciation
of the brotherhood of man. He who
thinks of himself in isolation, here
or hereafter, has missed the true
meaning of the Christian life. He
who finds no pleasure in the company
of those who are led by the Spirit
of God has lost an element of price
less value from the perfecting of his

Resting While ut WnrL

1t is positively true that even the
busy heart, in its constant sending of
the life-blood from the central foun-
tain to the extremities for the sus-
tanning of existence, finds time to rest,
moment by moment, between its untir-
ing and ceaseless heart-beats. Hence
rest is a duty eve in busiest hours
and matters. AT the same time, to a
busy mind and heart rest is not ceas-
ing to love, or to learn, or to feel, or
to think.

HANDY BOOK OF INSULTS.
Thousands of FfEht-CausinE Epithets
Put Into a Special Dictionary
by a German.

Herr Schuch, a German author, has
compiled a dictionary of 2 800 insulting
expressions, carefully tabulated, in
dexed and classified. The work, on
which Herr Schuch has spent years of
labor, is called the Schimpfworter
Lexicon and is divided into five general
heads-insults for men, insults for
women, insults for either sex, insults
for children and collective insults for
s~yndicates, groups and corporations.
Herr Schuch, with that minute discern
ment of the searching German, has
subdivided these classes into smaller
ones, so that wkcn one wishes to call
his friend or enemy a name it needs
but a short consultation with the book
to find the exact epithet or phrase
which will fit the case. This work
would have been invaluable to Mis-
sissippi river pilots in the old days,
and even now the teamster may regard
it as a welcome addition to his library.

Drunkenness for Railroad Employees to
 be State Prison Offense.
 Attorney Benjamin Slade, of this city, has drafted bill which will be present. ed to the legislature in January.
 In a few words, the bill provides that any motorman in charge of a street car or engineer in charge of a train who shall be under the influence of liquor while in charge of the same shall De guilty of crime punishable by a term in state prison. And also death re- sulting because of the intoxication of either of the above mentioned employees shall constitute murder in the first de- gree.
 In one or two trolley accidents re- gently it has been stated that they were caused by intoxicated motormen. This is given as a reason for framing the bill, the hope being that the severe pen- alty will lessen the danger of accidents from this cause.

 The Merry Christmas time, with it's accompanying pleasures, is we'll at hand, and one and all should take thought of their gifts which they annu- ally bestow on their friends.

A peculiar prosecution was brought
before Magistrate John T. Howe yes
terday under the old act passed in 1904
which prohibits manual labor in this
state on Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Harowitz, of
South Scranton, We're arrested at the
instance of Miss Belinda Welsh. OF
River street, whose property adjoins
theirs, on the charge of washing clothes
on the Lords day and hanging them
out to dry, in open defiance of the
laws of the commonwealth.
The Harowitzs', who do not speak
English very well, could not under
stand their arrest at all when ar
raigned before Magistrate Howe last
night. They did not observe Sunday,
they said, and why could they not do
the same things in their own home on
that day as on any other day? If
they were not permitted to wash a
few clothes why should the drug stores
be allowed to be open, they said, and
the street cars running.
No one seemed to want to prosecute
the druggists or the railroad compan-
les, they were told, but they seemed
to be convinced that they were being
dealt uniustly with. The magistrate
let them go upon payment of the costs
and a promise not to wash clothes
again on Sunday.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL.
Children of st. Luke's Sunday School
Received Gifts Last Night.

1t has always been the policy of st.
Luke's church to observe Christmas
as purely religious festival and to
carry this observance into the Sunday
school exercises held every year. For
this reason there was no Santa Claus
at the festival given the children last
night.
The children of the Sunday school
and q number of their elders, gathered
in the church at 7.30 o'clock and par
ticipated in a brief service, conducted
by Rev. DIR. Rogers Israel, the rector
and Rev. Robert Roe, the curate. The
vested choir rendered number Of
beautiful Christmas carols, including
that ever-beautiful one God Rest Ye,
Merry Gentlsmen. Let Nothing You
Dismay."
After the service, the children filed
into the auditorium Of the parish house
where a number of pictures of Chrst's
nativity We're thrown on a screen and
explained by DR.. Israel. Then the cur
tains hiding the stage were drawn back
and u large and beautifully decorated
Christmas tree was revealed. A gen.
eral distribution of presents followed.
and then there there was another
carol and the benediction.

HORSESHOERS MEET.
Grievance Committee Is to Be Given
Power to Act.

1t was decided yesterday to hold a
special meeting of the Master Horse
shoers' association tonight for the pur-
pose of giving the committee appointed
to treat with the grievance committee
Of the journeymen's union, full power
to act.
When this is done another conference
between the two committees will be
held and on effort will be made to
amicably settle the grievances, though
from present indications it is extremely
unlikely that this will be done unless
the journeymen agree to a reduction of
the wages, which they demand. The
master horseshoers are practically a
unit in declaring that they cannot pos
sibly afford to pay the rate of wages
demanded by the men without increas-
ing the price of horseshoing to horse
owners very materially, something they
do not desire to do.
