The Church at Corinth Founded.

The Church at Corinth Founded.
 The natural situation of Corinth Is re- markable beautiful, advantageous. If we We were permitted to stand upon the Acro-C Corinthus, that rocky table rising one-half mile in perpendicular measure above the sea, there would be unrolled at our feet a lovely panorama. Wonder are the far-famed Aegean Islands-emer- aids set in silver. Here are the alter hating capes and bays of the ragged coast-line of Greece, that narrow tongue of land. The isthmus has given its name to all similar formations which divide seas and unite lands. Up wonder gulf the merchantmen can sail one hundred miles, land-locked. beyond the touch of storm, and, reaching the isthmus, marine rail- way receives them and transports them 10 the waters beyond. From wonder shore the first man-of-war was launched. and in wonder waters the first naval battle was fought six centuries before Christ On wonder isthmus the famous isthmian games were played once in five years. MIlman calls Corinth the Venice of the Old World, for on that isthmus the com merce of the East passed the commerce of the West.
 Right at ones feet on the bench of the hill lies the city, with temples and stat utes of gods, all resplendent with its far famed Corinthian bronze. The hum of commerce and mechanic arts seems to come up to ones ears. One sees the philosophers. rhetorieians, and artist in grove and porch. What a goodly sight! No wonder Cicero calls this city the eye of all Greece"
 But under this fair exterior an awful leprOsy Is lurking. We are looking at the most lascivious city of the most cultured nation of antiquity. In wonder temple of Venus there are one thousand priest esses, whose ritual is prostitution The city's morals are at one end of the beam, her culture at the other. Her morals sink in the exact ratio that her culture
 rises. Her philosophy is impotent. Som,

Corinth is rich in historical associations. Byron aflrms that if the bones of those slain there were piled again. the pyramid would rise higher than yon tower-cappsd Metropolis" Yet no event that ever trans pired there can compete in importance with the humble entrance of the Gospel.
 Speak and hold not thy peace! is good antidotc to religious dejection.
 I lived three years in a paper-making town in the Miami Valley. l saw tons of worthless. filthy infected rags trans- muted into a substance white and ser- viceable. Grace of God did for the hearts of the Corinthians what art of man did for the refuse textiles. q Cor, vi, 9-11.)

 Brooklyn Eagle.
 She is little, but she has the true fem mine idea. A boy of about her own age has been so devoted to her that it has attracted | the attention of his playmates, and the result has been distressing. He has been leased until life has become a burden to him. In an effort to escape his trou- | bles he has forsaken her. His heart is still true, but he dares not look at her or speak to her when any of the other boys are near.
 This being the state of affairs, it will not be ditncult to imagine his distress when his mother decided to give A birth day party for him. He made up his own | list of guests, and when it was finished his mother noted that one name was missing.
 You've left out Mamie" she suggested. to invite Mamie. but the boys tease me so about her that I am afraid to do it. /" But she'll be offended Cant you explain It.? he asked. His mother laughed. and, meeting Ma mics mother. told her about the boys troubles-and such troubles are very real to a boy.
 Mamie's mother was amused and told Mamie.
 "Tommie is very anxious to have you at his party she said, but the boys will tease him so that he is going to leave you out.
 Here IS where the truly femlnlne ap- pears. Mamie considered the matter deeply for a few moments, and then said ingeniously:
 'WelI why doesn't he leave out the boys and invite me?'
 When Mamie gets a little older she will find many young men only too de- lighted to give parties on exactly that principle but very likely her own views will have changed by that time-at least to the extent of keeping such ideas 10 herself.

Since then business has been brisk.
"Of course. not every girl could under

age. patience and ininito tact, love OF
children and love OF nursing-all these
are necessary qualities. Then there is
the responsibility. one cannot shirI
that but all good things have their
RESPONSIBILITIES. There are a number
OF women who have gone into the work
in England. but | believe | am the
only American so far who has taken
UP the profession systematically from
the start: who has aimed at this end
from the commencement of her career
and studies. It's strange that more
girls who love children and nursing
have not devoted themselves TO this
profession long ago. The prices paid
are often much larger than for other
engagements OF n trained nurse. and
there is surety Of continued employ
ment. From my own experience | can

work and loves 1t that she will find On
