how he took reformed burglar out

Helping Oneself.

Half the churches in the city would
be deserted if men and women came
to the conclusion that prayer is not eff
fcacious to change the course Of
events. The object of the Ethical Cul-
ture society is to assist and define a
new motive toward a new piety. 1t is
absurd to believe that prayer will
avert a calamity of nature. We do not
today believe in miracles The great
word is effort. II you are a drunkard

FervOr and WISDOM,
1t is not so much what ministers are

counts. There are two times to be per-

Feather your arrows with all wisdom.

Essential Elements OF Life.

The essential elements of making a
life are the sight use of the things God
has given lis. Our rules in this matter
are given in our instructions received
from heaven. John RHsllin WAS called

He was a genius and was blessed with
alarge fortune. but both these with him
self, he sacrificed in his service for sut-
fering humanity. He gave his estimate
of such service: "Oh, it is great, and
there is no other greatness to make the
nook of Gods creation more fruitful,
better. more worthy of God; to make
some human heart little wiser, man
