The DeIusiOn In Delay.
Be not among those who give their
whole life to the world and then give
their corpse to God. 1t does not seem
fair that while our pulses are in full
play of health we serve ourselves
and serve the world and then make
God at last the present of a coffin. 1t
does not seem right that we run cur
ship from coast to coast carrying car
goes for ourselves and then, when the
ship is crushed in the rocks, give to
God the shivered timbers. 1t is great
thing for man on his dying pillow to
repent-better that than never at all;
but how much better. how much more
generous, it would have been if he had
repented fifty years before! My friends,
you will never get over these procras-
tinations.
Here is a delusion. People think, 81
can go on in sin and worldliness. but
after awhile win repent and then it
will be as though l had come at the
very start" What a mistake! No one
ever gets fully over procrastination. If
you give your soul to God some other
time than this, you will enter heaven
with only half the capacity for enjoy
ment and knowledge you might have
had There will be heights Of blessed
ness you might have attained that
then you will never reach; thrones Of
glory on which you might have been
seated. but which you will never climb.
We will never get over pracrastinatiOn,
neither in time nor in eternity
We have started on a march from
which there is no retreat. The shadows
of eternity gather on our pathway
How insignificant is time compared
with the vast eternity! AS | was
thinking of this one day while coming
down over the Allegheny mountains at
noon, by that wonderful pass which
you all have heard described as the
HorseshOe-a depression in the side of
the mountain where the train almost
turns back again upon itself. and you
see how appropriate is the name Of the
Horseshoe-and thinking on this very
theme and preparing this very sermon,
it seemed to me as if the great courser
of eternity speeding along had just
struck the mountain with one hOof and
gone on into illmtable space. So short
is time, so insignificant is earth, COM
pared with the vast eternity! This mo-
ment voices roll down the sky and all
the worlds of light are ready to rejoice
at your disenthrallment. Rush not into
the presence of the King ragged with
sin when you may have this robe Of
righteousness. Dash not your foot to
pieces against the throne of crucitied
Christ Throw not your crown Of life
off the battlements. All the scribes Of
God are at this hour ready with vol
umes of living light to record the news
of your soul emancipated.

NAvAJoEs POOR TRADERS.
Unable to Get Fair Prices For the
Blankets They Weave.

Unable to Get Fair Prices For the
Blankets They Weave.
"The Navajo Indians are making bct-
ter blankets than ever before. but they
fail to make any progress in the higher
art of marketing them," said c. G.
Howe of Navajo, Ariz. '"They en-
ploy the same primitive methods in
weaving them and will continue TO do
so, suppose. as long as there is one Of
them left. The women do the work,
but the men do the marketing. 1t has
been said that if the women had
charge Of the marketing as well as the
making they would get more for their
work. | doubt whether this is true or
not. While the women are better
workers, and. in fact, do all the work
of Il menial kind. they show no more
shrewdness in trade than do the men.
While the women do all of the real
work they rarely see cent of the
money derived from their toll. Their
arrogant lords Of the tepee appropriate
that. The women are patient and doc
lie. You would suppose that if they
are clever enough to make a blanket
that cannot be duplicated anywhere
else OH Garth they would have sense
enough to assert their plain rights, but
they never do.
There will never be a wOman's
rights club in an Indian reservation,
for the women do not know that they
have any rights. They toll over a
blanket and then they permit their
lazy, worthless husband to sell it ana
squander the proceeds on whisky ana
on trinlets for personal adOrnment for
himself without a murmur. There are
many white men around the Navajo
settlements. and after firing up the
Indian in charge of the blanket they
purchase it from him for about one
third of its value Then they ship it
to some city.
1T is impossible to counterfeit Il Nay
aiO blanket. Even Il tcnderfoot ought
to be able to tell the difference. That
being true, it would seem that the
Indian ought to be smart enough to do
more with them after they are made
When it is considered that the Nava-
joes use the rudest methods of weav-
ing. the opportunity for others to make
blankets equally good would appear
favorable, but it has never been done"

A Poser.

DR.. Ormond of the Princeton univer-
sity faculty is as noted in local circles
for his physical rotundity as for his
metaphysical profundity. Some time
ago. on entering the nursery at his
home, he surprised his Offspring-a half
dozen young boys and a small girl-in
ardent discussion of the Absolute -
One young philosopher turned to him
in appeal:
Father, can a man be absolutely
gOodY'
mo" the professor replied, "a man
can't be absolutely good"
Father" another young sage de-
manded, "can a man be absolutely
bady"
mo" was the judicial response. "a
man can't be absolutely bad"
And the little daughter, aged four,
piped up:
Father, can a man be absolutely
fat?"
But the philosophers equilibrium was
too embarrassed to reply.-New York

WIRE OF CARDUD
WHY He Reclaimed.

For the sake of his duty the late Sen
ator William J. Sewell sacrificed his
ambition and for a time threw himself
open to misinterpretatiOn. The New
York Times prints the real explanation
of what people who did not know the
facts thought. to say the least, an un-
grateful action.
At the outbreak of the Spanish war
Senator Sewell sought and obtained a
commission as brigadier general He
was a veteran of the civil war and
stood a good chance Of being sent to
the front, but after his appointment the
president sent for him.
'You will have to decline the COM
MISSION" said Mr.. Mckinley, who then
explained that the administration need
ed his support in the senate.
81 have set my heart on getting into
the saddle again." said the senator,
land New Jersey will send you some
body else whom you can depend on to
take my place in the senate"
But a new man cannot take your
place on the military affairs commit
tee," replied the president. and then in
a gently compelling tone ended the in
terview by saying, Your commander
in chief needs you where you are"
Senator SeweI went to his hotel and
wrote his refusal of the commission he
so much coveted. 1t was not until
months after that he explained to his
friends that he was simply doing his
duty as a soldier.

Lord Dunerln,. erent nIemorr.

Lord Dufferin relates in his rectorial
address delivered in 1891 to the stu
dents Of St Andrews university that
he sat down and wrote out every word
Of his speech and learned it so care
fully by heart that he knew that no
untoward accident or interruption
could interfere with it's delivery. The
speech lasted an hour and half, and
Lord Dufferin was able to so through
it without once looking at a note. Lord
Dufferin had curious practice in Can
ada. where apparently in those days
shorthand writer's in many places were
not plentiful. He frequently, at the
request Of the reporters, rehearsed his
speech previous to u meeting, and he
was surprised to find how this enabled
him TO clarity and condense what he

France Not Opposing cuban Treaty.

the French minister to Cuba, says
there is no foundation for the state

prisals against Cuban products if the
treaty is put into effect. M. Brou-

nights poured into one hour. There are
men in the arid desert Of doubt who
would give their thousands of dollars
if they could get back to the old re-
ligion of their fathers. Such men are
not to be caricatured, but helped, and
not through their heads, but through
their hearts. When these men really

will be worth far more to the cause OF
Christ than those who never examined
