choice devote every hour of the day to
the trivial problem of what they shall
eat and what they shall drink and
wherewlthal they shall be clothed.
One of the causes of this over elab-
Grafton in the material comforts of
life Is the passion for luxury itself,
We boast about our luxury as some
thing that lifts us above other nations.
A second cause is the spirit of social
competition. Class vies with class
for social supremacy. There Is vul-
gar ambition everywhere to go one
better in the matter of functions and
entertainments.
Home life is deliberately, yes, and
crlminaliy, sacrificed for the social
life. And social life, so chosen, be-
comes the vestihule through which
many young husband passes into
the prison house of debt. A large city
becomes every evening n vast Vanity
Fair, where irrational and too often
degraded pleasure lures men and
women by the thousand to its gilded
shrine. and before that shrine high
thinking and plain living are nightly
inundated. The poor man, unable to
share In these wanton eXtravagances,
chafes beneath the restrictions, and
hatred of his pampered betters bites
at the ropes of separation.

SELF-CULTURE AND FAITH.
BY Rev. John Henry HarrOws, D.


To know God Is mot merely to be
convinced of His existence. or to have
clearly defined arguments for the dii
vine being but besides all this 1t Is
to have heart acquaintance with the
Heavenly Father, to be In sympathy
with His moral qualities and His lows
ly purposes.
Self-culture, independent Of such a
knowledge of God. is Il snare, n delu-
sion and a disappointment, and Woe
full elements may follow even the
finest and noblest intellectual training
apart from the heavenly knowledge
which Christ brings to the soul. Every
student of history will agree with me
that the Christian revelation of God
has been mighty and uplifting force
In the culture of our race. 1t has
widened the domain of human thought
and brought new facts and forces for
the illumination and guidance of the
human spirit. What transformed the
old pagan world which the Apostle
Paul declared to be without God into
the modern Christian world? l reply,
1t was a knowledge OF the divine ma
ture: 1t was an acquaintance with ouE
Father In His oneness. His spirituality
and His redeemlng mercy as revealed
through Jesus Christ Lord Bacon
has instructed us that 1t Is better to
have no conception of God than one
| that Is unworthy of Him. Holiness Is
Gods diadem, the crown of His per-
fections. without which power and
wisdom and love itself lose their high
est glory. The Christian messenger
instructs men that the God who now
commander all to repent has never
committed the slightest wrong; that
all His ways are righteous that all
His acts are perfect, and that IL any
vice existed in the character of God
the worshiping universe must be
dumb.
1t will be easy to illustrate from ia.
nous men, like Mr.. Gladstone, for ex-
ample, like Milton, Newton and Dante.
what the recognition of the Christian
God has done for them. But | thlnl;
more useful Illustration would be
found in the lives Of plain, common
men and women all about us, who,
getting their knowledge of God from
His word, by His spirit, through His
Son, have felt the dignity of their own
manhood and womanhood, have been
unwilling to soil their souls with sin
have been able to bear disappoint
ment placidly and to go through sor
row sweetly, feeling all the while the
companionship and the consolation OF
| Divine love.

The value of a smile---who can tell?
Like the sunshine, it is hard to esti-
mate it's value, for though it costs
the giver nothing it very likely means
all the difference to the recipient
between black despair and cheerful
ness and hope. A kind smile Is be-
yond price TO the erring but repenting,
and cheers them to struggle back to
the paths of right and duty, from
which they have diverged in pursuit
of pleasure and folly, while to the sor-
rowful, the desolate and the forsaken
1t has the happiest effect, dissipating
the thick clouds and fog which some
times entirely obscure fair land
scape. A smile Is token of warmth
within; it shows the kind heart OF the
friend, the affectionate brother, the
loving child, or the happy husband.
1t adds a charm to the plainest face,
1t enhances the beauty Of the most
we'll favored, and it makes the gentle.
gracious woman appear veritable
angel In the eyes of him who loves her.

A Tight Squeeze.

Brazils, Ark, May Ito be
snatched from the very brink of the
grave is somewhat thrilling expert
ence and one which Mrs. Nj. o. Garrett
of this place has just passed through.
Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cere-
bro-Spinal affection, and had been
treated by the best physicians, but
without the slightest Improvement.
For the last twelve months two doc
tors were in constant attendance, but
she only grew worse and worse, till
she could not walk, and did not have
any power to move at all.
She was so low that for the greater
part of the time she was perfectly I'M
conscious of what was going on about
her, and her heart-broken husband and
friends were hourly expecting her
death.
The doctors had given up all hope
and no one thought she could possibly
live.
In this extremity Mr.. Garrett sent
for box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1t
was last hope, but happily it did not
fail.
Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes of
the remedy, and is completely cured.
She says:
Il am doing my own work now and
feel rs well as ever | did. Dodd' 8
Kidney Pills certainly saved me from
DEATH"

Anna @. Gray is young lady, for

lowing, published in the Brown City

friendship letter written about March

idea of the climate, social, educational
and religious conditions of Alberta, the
beautiful land of sunshine and happy
homes. Over one hundred thousand
Americans have made Western Canada

and in this year upwards of $4,000 will
take up homes there.

THE KNELL OF DISASTER.
BY Rev. ID. S. hackay.


In spite of the Wanted progress of
the nineteenth century, we are just as
much the slaves of vulgar ostentation
as our fathers were when the last
century was still young. Nowhere is
the complex life of luxurious pleasure
seeking extravaganza so visible as in
this metropolis of the New World.
Everywhere the drags are off and the
wheels Of commerce and society are
running wild. When the stoppage will
come no one can tell. Already the
shrewd, hard-headed men in Wall
street are seeming the approaching
danger from the commercial stand
point.
They tell us that the limit of over
capitalization and head-strong specula-
ton Is reached, and the reaction, I'M
less 1t comes gradually, will spell
panic from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
How true that may be as a CONNER
cial prediction l do not know; but
from the standpoint of religion, In the
interests of morality, the evil results
of this over elaborated mode of liv-
ing. common even among the poor as
well as the rich, are already with US.
There can be no life of worthy thought
where existence Is loaded down with
the vulgarities of luxury. The two
most illiterate classes in society to-
day are the AFFECT poor. who by neces-
sity must think of the needs Of the
body, and. therefore, can think Of
nothing else. and the idle rich. who by

The incorruptible man does receive
the price for his integrity. 1t is the
approval Of his own conscience and the
appreciation of his God. That treasure
ne can carry with him at death, when
all the wages of wickedness must be

OUTLOOK IN NEW-JERSEf e..
More FAVORABLE for Republicans
than a Fec Weeks n go.

-rortor Oct 1s (SpeciaD.-In response 10 an in
ouirv. Governor Murphy told The Tribune CORE
spondent that after a somewhat care1ui glance
over tho political situation In New-Jersey ne
,housbt the outlook for the Republicans was de-
cidedly encouraging. The situation IN Essex
County the Governor said, was particularly grau-
fying Everything running the lsepubhCah
wav in that county and there did not appear to be
snv reason to doubt that the full Republican dele
cation 70 the Assembly would be elected there.
The conditions were also hopeful and encouraging
In Passaic County where all the Indications now
visible pointed to the reelection OF Senator NC
Kee and IL seemed probable that the Assembly
candidates would be elected. In Mercer County
not onIv Governor Murphy but ex-senator Stokes,
the vfce-chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee and State Treasurer Briggs declared that
there had not in many a day been time when the
Republicans were more harmonious and united.
There every probability. these Republican lead
ers believed. that the three Republican candidates
for the Assembly would be chosen by rousing
majority. In fact. said. 1t only ques-
ton Of majority.
The situation In Burlington County. Senator
Haines declared, was entirely satisfactory the
Republicans. Speaker Horner. not only Colonel
Haines but a number of other Republicans from
that county. said certainly would be the next
State Senator. while the election OF the Republican
candidates for the Assembly seemed to be fore

In ocean County. where there had been some
friction among the Republicans Governor Murphy
said the conditions were much improved. Captain
A NJ. Bradshaw, the Republican leader IN Ocean
County and for many years the member for that
county OF the Republican State Committee, said
that the party pretty well united now, and
that he felt confident that the Republican ticket
would pull through. Senator shinn agreed with
the opinion OF Captain Bradshaw.
