In such cases is for the big men to get

There has been, We regret to gay. good

Information regarding the state OF trade.
IL seems that no matter which way one
looks IL Is impossible TO escape the con-
viction that Standard oil capitalists are
not only the dominant element In Wall
Street affairs, but that at the present
time as well as for some months past,
have been bearish IN their attitude. This
Is situation which might be explained
by speculative and trade conditions. but
Wall street traders, whose training
makes them scent trouble afar. are con-
vinced that definite objects are being
sought under cover OF the weakness, or
rather, that speculative conditions have
been taken advantage OF TO bring about
some desired results. The exports or

stock letter, say:
II bargains In the most reliable rail

poets OF poor business or OF crops.

lower figures may be seen In the New

opinion IS usually correct predict that the

Magistrate Peter 7. Barlow, OF New

is responsible for the increase of drunken.

1T is true that drunkenness among
women is on the Increase he said, "but
the figures are not startling until they are
carefully considered. An increase of a

There is no doubt in my mind that the
side door of the saloon is responsible for
the increase among the poorer women.
They cannot go to glittering cafes. They
will not go in by the front door When
they get restless and seek diversion the
side door is n temptation. 1t also involves
a lowering OF the moral standard, because
IT entails conccalment. The woman knows
u is not respectable to 60 into a saloon.
She soon alters her view to mean that it
is not respectable TO be seen going into n
saloon; it is all right so long as she is not

EPWORTH LEAGUE MEETING TOPICS.
November l5-Personal Work the Duty Of
Every Chrstlan.-John |. $40, IS, ~;
Acts 8. 26; Acts 10.

There Is in the first chapter of
Johns gospel an abiding testimony to
!he value of personal work. Andrew
.ound Simon, Philip found Nathaniel
There was no great meeting, no mul
atude, no excitement. A man had made
discovery of the utmost Importance
% himself. But he felt that it was
quite as important to others. So he
went to the nearest man, and said, Il
have found the Christ. Gomez"
In each case there was first a dis
,overy. Every Jew knew of the Mes.
sianic hope. So when Andrew and
Philip found by Jesus's revealing OF
himself to them that this was indeed
the Christ, they did not hesitate tc
make their discovery known. Before
that they could have said nothing
about Jesus that would have had
more than a passing interest. But
Messiah! That was worth telling. He
who would win others to faith in the
Sent of God must himself first have
found him.
There Is no more striking illustra'
ton in the New Testament of Gods
use of two methods than in the story
Of Philip the Evangelist. He had con.
Quoted a great revival in Samaria The
people with one accord gave heed unto
the things he spoke, and che work at
tracted SO much attention that Peter
and John went down from Jerusalem
to take part in 1t. Then, on the heels
Of that great awakening, Philip is sent
to the high road from Jerusalem to
Africa, to meet one man and preach
to him. Philips method with the
Ethiopian eunuch was a model fer per
sonal workers. He used the Word
He explained it. He went from the
known to the unknown. He preached
unto him Jesus. And he won his man.
The conversion of Cornelius is a
type. Many a man is ready to receive
the Gospel, who waits only the teach
ing that will show him what he needs
There are incidents of that sort In
nearly every revival. Not all the un'
converted are defiant and deliberate
sinners. They desire better things
They have long been anxious for a
happier life. And many a Christian
worker who has gone to such persons
little unwillingly, like Peter, has been
ashamed by the remark, Il have been
hoping for long time that somebody
would speak to me about religion, but
nobody has ever seemed to care"

OF alcohol are considerably stronger in the

There was knock at the door of Aunt

"No, ma'am; but grandma did. She is

things, and l run about to sell them
that's the way we get along. She says
we are partners and so / wrote out a
sign and put it over the fireplace: Grand

stockings, and as she counted out the
money to pay for them Maggie said: "Thi,

Happiness in Work.

Some people dream OF happiness as
something they will come to by and by,
at the end of course of toll and struggle.
But the true way to find happiness is as
we go on in our work. Every day has its
own cup of sweetness. In every duty is
a pot OF hidden mama. In every sorrow
is blessing of comfort. In every burden
is rolled up gift of God. In all life
Christ is with US, if we are true to Him! I!
Ii we nave learned this secret, even the
things that seem unpleasant and disagree
able yield joy in the doing. A traveller in
South Africa saw some boys playing mar.
bles, using pebbles. One of these rolled
to the travellers feet, and, picking it up,
it seemed to him only rough stone,
without beauty or worth. But as he turned
it over gleam of light flashed from one
spot of it. 1t was diamond. Duties
seem dull and dreary to us, unattractive,
nard, but they infold secrets of happiness
which we find when we accept them with
love and do them cheerfully.-Rev. j. r..
Miller
