FrankIin's Gospel.

Would that we might always practice Benjamin Franklins gospel of modera- tion His toleration of the nonessentiaIs of life was never more grandly demon- strated than in the last great public ser vice which he rendered to his country. When over eighty years of age he made the peroration of his life in pleading for the adoption of the constitution of the United States in the great constitutional convention which met in Philadelphia in 17S7. He admitted during his address, that the constitution under discussion did not satisfy him In toto. He wanted one

 The Harbor of Safety.
 Nlne-tenths of all the criticisms made against us would soon die if we ourselves did not go forth to fight those criticisms and thus make matters worse. Hugh Cliff ford, the old jungle traveller, once vividy described startling experience he had when travelling in the Malay peninsula He and his men were attacked by huge swarm of angry, revengeful bees. lmme- diately the party swung their blankets around their heads and tried to fight them off, but 1t was useless. They were stung on head, arms and legs; they were stung everywhere. "rake to the waterr Cliff ford cried to his men. The Malays ran for their lives The bees not only drove them into the water, but continued sting ing them there. The furious insects threatened to kill them while they were in the river itself. With hands like box ing gloves, and heads like inflated foot balls from the awful stinging," wrote Clifford, my suffering party then limped away to the next village. Half an hour later one of my men came into the village uninjured. He had seen the bees coming and had sat down and awaited the as- SauH. IHey fOseTeu nm rom neHu 10 foot, but as he offered no opposition they did not sting him." What is true of the Malay bees is true also of the human bees. With buzz and threatenings in great swarms they may light upon you. They may crawl all oyer you and aggravatingy tickle your face and hands and heart. but If you will not fight them. but simply go on doing the work that God has given you to do. your assalants will become harm less, and after awhile they will leave you in peace and in ease
 Thus, my friends. the whole teaching of this text Is this: Drop your battleax and as a Christian farmer go to gospel seed planting Drop your war clubs and go to driving an ambulance Do not boast of how many enemies you have killed, but speak rather of how many friends you have been able to win through gospel love. This text has in 1t the language of pardon. not the hiss of hate. IL is a flower garden whose most fragrant blossoms grow best upon the gravel hillocks under which are buried the hideous corpses of

Called Up and Called Down.

From the Brooklyn Times
 \ former Brooklyn official, who is well known in many sections of the borough. had occasion to attend q concert given in a large hall the other evening. His wife and many friends were among those present During an intermisson every one was somewhat startled to hear a stentorian voice ring out from the gal lery.
 "Is the Hon. Mir. Blank presentg' the voice said.
 Slowly and majestically the aforesaid erstwhile official rose from his place in q prominent part of the house and faced the gallery in a dignifed manner, as suited his station in society.
 q am MT. Blank" he replied as he drew his rather stocky figure to it's full height.
 Sit down. you l0bsterr' called the voice, with an emphasis that was as great as 1t was embarrassing
 The dull thud that was heard immedi- ately after the above sally was only the noise caused by the ex-officiars anat- omy as 1t came in contact with his rath- CT hard seat. During the laughter and confusion that followed the guilty one escaped.

DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON.
BY THE REV. FRANK DE WITT TALMAoE. D. Q.

Chicago, October 4-In this sermon the preacher teaches a timely lesson on the wisdom of exercising tolerance and for bearance between man and man and re- minds us that the faults and weaknesses which we condemn in others may find a parallel in ourselves. The text is P.ilip- plans iv, ,. Let your moderation be known unto all men,"
 What does the Pauline word "moderat- ion" mean? q know says one. Ut means Do not be an extremist. Do not ride hobby to death. Do not focus your eyes upon one truth so long that you be- come blinded to the relative importance of other truths, nor upon one error until you loose sight of the evil effects of all other errors. Virtue is road which has a hedge and a ditch on both sides once wrote famous writer. A man may be moderate in one thing and not in another, man may be an ascetic as far as eating and drinking are concerned, and yet he may be licentious. A man who has no ambition may be avaricious' It is not enough to be right in one matter if you are careless on other matters equally inn portant.
 Let your moderation be known unto all mem means: Do not be fanatic. one sided monstrosity, like a dove with one wing cropped, Tapping about in the barn yard and yet unable to rise ten feet into Gods great heaven of blue. Do not ex- pend all your energies preaching against the evils of intoxication and at the same time be glutton. Do not preach against gambling with cards when you gamble with railroad stocks. Do not berate the thief who steals a loaf of bread and honor the thief who cheats his neighbor in real estate deal. Do not advocate phys ical culture to such an extent that you ride 100 miles a day on byeiele or be such a fresh air fiend" that your open window in a railroad train will be blowing a dangerous draft upon the passengers who sit in your rear. Be a well rounded man. Be like plant with leaves and petals growing upon a supple stem, able to bend every whither yet with roots anchored in the solid earth, an1 not like a balloon filled with a noxious gas, tossed about in. the air, the plaything of every stray wind.

The first outward sign of Contagious Blood Poison Is a small sore blister. As the poisonous virus spreads through the system the glands of the grons swell, red eruption appears upon the body and ulcers and sores break out n the mouth and throat the hair and eyebrows drop out and the body is the poison even works its way into the bones and joints and attacks the nerves.
 The tmeworn remedies-Mercury and Potash-are still used ill the of Contagious Blood Poison but the effects of these drugs upon the system are almost bad the disease itself, and the best witnesses against these remedies are those who have used them longest. Mercury only smotllers the poison in the system, and the disease is liable to return at any time and that metallic taste in the mouth, tender gums, ulcerated throat and other returning symptoms, show the poison is still active
