:ssz 1ecddge ne Knew mat mat younx man would not drink and carouse and that he would have a good influence over his men. Oh, my young friends, l have often heard young men say, Tt does not pay to be a Christian" From every standpoint it pays. It pays on account of your own happiness. It pays in dollars and cents on account of your faithfulness and work, and 1t pays on account of your influence over others. Let us one and all today enter into our first great partnership. Let us sign ourselves as humble servants and coworkers with Jesus Christ. Let the Saviour be the head, the great head, of that firm and Jesus Christ be the director of our lives.
 The cross is the most honored of all earthly and heavenly signs in more ways than one. Therefore, as we be- gan this sermon with the scene of the foolish race of Ahimaaz, would close 1t with the glorious race of Paul, who always served under that cross wheth- CT he was preaching or tentmaking This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are be- fore-I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" May God help you to start in that gospel race here and now For in that glorious race. O young man, you will find the only triumphs, tenn poral and spiritual, which will satisfy yOu and which will endurer

The EIrRI Ront HnnEAn

The first posts are said to have origi. hated in the regular couriers estab- hshed by Cyrus about $50 B. C., who erected post houses throughout the Kingdom of Persia. Augustus was the first to introduce this institution among the Romans, 31 R. C., and he was imi- tated by Charlemagne about 800 A. D. Louis XI. was the first sovereign to es- tablish post houses in France owing to bis eagerness for news, and they were also the first institution of this nature in Europe. This was in 1470, or about 2,OO0 years after they were started in Persia.
 In England in the reign of Edward W. Q481) riders on post horses went stages of the distance of twenty miles from each other in order to procure the king the earliest intelligence of the events that passed in the course of the war that had arisen with the Scots. A proclamation was issued by Charles I. in 1881 that, "whereas to this time there hath been no certain intercourse between the kingdoms of England and Scotland, the king now commands his postmaster of England for foreign parts to settle running post or two between Edinburgh and London to go thither and come back again in six days"

Delhi, the Gem Market.

Delhi remains the center of all In- dian art industries. The most skillful jewellers and gem cutters, painters, carvers, embroiderers and craftsmen whose creations could tempt the purse or minister to the luxury of the great CT and lesser Moguls have gathered there for centuries, and trade habits are but slowly broken. Along Chandni Chauk plump merchants in snow white clothes and tiny jewellers turbans ill., vite one to their whitewashed, felt fioored inner rooms, and there, tread ing catlike in stockinged feet, they un- roll gold and silver embroideries, Rash mir shawls and "camePs hair stuffs and cover the last inches of floor space with jewels.

SAVED FROM THE KNIFE
cai-cur Solvent, Dr. Ksnnsdy's New Msdi. cIns VIII Dissolve and ExpsI Stone and Gravel from the System.

A surgical operation is no longer neces- sary for the removal of Stone and Gravel from the Kidneys and Bladder, eince the saeao medicine, Cal-cura Solvent, discovered by the well-known physician and surgeon, Dr. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kingston, N. Y., quickly dissolves and swiftly expels Stone, Red and White Grav- el, thus freeing the patient of the inhamma- tion and pain, caused by the presence of these lime formations. Better than all, Cal-cura SolvenS prevents the formation of Stone and Gravel and all uric acid condi- tions of the blood. The medical profes- sion has accepted and heartily endorsed the principal upon which Dr. Kennedy has based his claims for CaLcura Sol vent.

Rouge One Cheek Only.

Archbishop. Ryan of Philadelphia has delightful humor. His gentle and wise witticisms make Philadelphia laugh often.
 A very young girl one day said to him:
 "I have been told, sir, that touch of rouge heightens a woman's charm won- derfully, but I have also been told that to use rouge is wrong. Will you give me your opinion on this matterT'
 Some" said the archbishop, hold that there is nothing perniNous in lit tie rouge, while others regard the use of this cosmetic as vulgar. To me 1t seems best to steer a middle course be- tween those two opinions, and would advise you, therefore, to use rouge upon one cheek only."-New York Tribune.

HeIter SkeIter.

''Helter skelter" has been suggestive iy defined as a jlngling expression. vaguely initiating the hurried chatter of feet rapidly and irregularly moved. Most dictionaries. however, led astray proba ply by the ordinary orthography, have missed the true etymo!ogy of this phrase. It should be "helter kelter." |,
 "Helter" is an old word for hang" probably connected with halter, and '-kelter" Is used by old writers in the sense of 'order" or the proper state. Thus Barrow, the divine, says, ''If the organs of prayer be out of kelter how can we Pray?"
 "Helter skelter," therefore, is literal ly hang order" and means, "Oh, hang order; let us do 1t, or let 1t take its chance" Ben Jonson in Every Man In His Humor' writes, 'Helter skelter, hang sorrow, care'n kill a cat" and Shakespeare, using it to express rush and hurry, says, "Helter skelter have I rode to thee"

A Glorious Race.

We have lately had the example of what this personal influence could do in business. A young man yet in his thirties has just been elected president of the great steel trust. Why? Be cause when MT. Corey was placed in any position of responsibility he could not only decrease expenses, but by his personal example get better work out of the men than any one else. As per sonal influence amounts to so much, how can we have better influence for good than by a public profession of Jesus Christi When the Swedish sol diers followed Gustavus Adolphus down from the far north they did not fight for him because he was Gustavus Adolphus, but because they felt he was a noble Christian, consecrating his life to the Lord God Almighty. When the invasion of Usedom first took place the king of Vienna and his courtiers laugh ed a loud laugh of scorn. "Oh," said they, 'the snow king and little band will soon be melted by our southern sun" But the prayers of Gustavus Adolphus commingled with the prayers VI AAS AVAo"Cho Ut AuSb hhC fAS~ tories of Leipsic and Lutzen were the results, and the reformation started by Martin Luther was saved. So from a mere selfish standpoint 1t pays to be Christian. It pays to let your fellow men know that you are living for God and living for the divine cause.
 Why, the enemies of Christ have again and again proved that from a mere selfish standpoint 1t always pays to be a Christian. Some time ago the owner of large brewery of this coun- try wrote to a prominent Sunday school teacher asking him to recommend one of his young men for responsible posi- ton in hts establishment.

Advice the next: After you have accepted the honest position make your employers interest your interest. What shall do that shall benefit my self r is the maxim. of failure. What shall I do that shall benefit my en- ployerT Is the maxim of success. Sue cess does not always, as a bee, fly in a straight line for its hive. Success, like an Australians boomerang, nearly al ways goes In a circle. That circle may widen out and out and out, larger and larger, but after awhile the boomerang may be made to come back to the place where it started. When. a man serves his employer best, then he will find that the best rewards shall be placed at his own door
 True service always brings its right reward This fact was well illustrated in a converse ton I had with one of the most distinguished ministers of the world now living. One day he placed his hand upon my shoulder and said, Frank, the best way to attract the attention of the world to your worth is to fill to the best of your abil- ity the position to which God has called you" For some years I was very much dissatisfied with a church in which at that time I was labortng. felt I could not do myself justice in that field.
