Advantages of Foresight.

These three advantages accrue from the
purpose to make ready for the end of life:
First, 1T puts man upon his mettle, slim
ulates his activities, nourlshes and fresh
ems them Nothing spurs a man to his
task like the consciousness of the brevity
of the time appointed The contractor suf
fers an injury who is told TO take his own
time. Contrariwise, the time limit for the
expiration of his work keeps him up to his
best. Unfortunately many men feel that
they do not know when their life is to end
and therefore assume that they have
score OF years. or thirty years, to complete
their task. ii every man had a chart
placed in his hands so that he knew just
how much time had been allowed him TO
work out his purposes, how would he hew
to the line. insisting upon finishing this
stint in one month, and a second stint III
the next month.
We know that when Agricola crossed the
Alps into Germany, fulfilling his emperor
command, he kept his little handbag al.
ways packed, that every night he footed
up his accounts, so that he could close
them upon moments notice and start at
once with his dispatches tor Rome. Every
prudent man ought to lay out his life upon
that basis, and with reference to thorough.
ness, accuracy and faithfulness to his work
and his Master, be ready for the messen.

curate for the reflection that the examiner
may come at any hour? What soldier is
not the better prepared for remembering
that any moment the trumpeter may call

In those last days of the battle before
Richmond General Grant sent word along
the line that the next would be the last
charge. The knowledge that the end was
approaching and that they must round out
their career as soldiers. was such a tonic
unto men that they competed with each
other for the most dangerous tasks and the
most difficult places When Paul realized
that the time of his departure was at hand

one more heroic deed, for one more act OF
supreme self-sacriiice, and he hungered for
the most difficult place OF service and suf.

May talk. Mr.. sheriff? il you say that

IT will lessen the length OF this terrible

OF this terrible journey so short yet so far

It seems to me now that each moving

The shame of the burden they're fastening

OF lost life tortured with cruelty.

But centuries to me and alas manifold,

With life that with gladness was over

For my heart was just lcaping with very

Unfasten these cuffs, let me wipe off the
tears
Which flow for these crucidcd, wasted
years.
And to think they have brought me only
to this;
A fathers blessing was on my young head,
And the days seemed holy and hallowed.
A sisters caress and brothers smile
Made journey of JOY each tieeting mile
The white clouds laughed in the deep, still
sky,
And the suns red rays seemed to prophesy
OF kindness to me. The fitting trees
Were like prayers of gladness on bended
knees,
While the village spires, as prophets stood
To bless me with everything sweet and
good,

Seemed to smile at me in a calm content.
Oh, the world looked fair, SO wond'rou'

And my heart was one throbbng, grateful

COMMERCiAL REVIEW.

r. G. Dun g. Company's weekly re-
view of trade says:
Improvement in trade and industry
continues, favorable reports largely
outnumbering adverse influences. Ths
most important event OF the week
was the two-thirds vote by the bitumi~
nous coal miners to accept the pro-
posed reduction in wages. This viii
probably prevent a serious struggle
that would paralyze manufacturing
just when it is beginning to revive.
Complications have arisen in tho
local building trades that retard
structural work, but settlement IS
anticipated and the open weather in
stimulating outdoor work at other
points.
Retail distribution Of Easter goods
steadily expands and the Dealers
stocks are being depleted because OF
conservatism in initial purchases This
promises large supplementary job
bing and wholesale orders as the
season advances. Traffic delays ara
still causing complaint, and the move

turc OF importance Railway earnings

EPWORTH LEAGUE LESSONS
APRIL THIRD.
Dur Victories Through Christ. / Cor.
IS. 5o.59.

Paul went to Corinth on his sec
ond missionary journey, and it was
here that he established his fourth
European church. This was, perhaps,
N the year 81. He stayed about
eighteen months in the city. during
which period he built up the great
est OF lis western societies. But tho
Corinthian church gave him much
rouble. These Christians would back
slide, and they would quarrel; and
the quarrelsome Christian. II there be
such, is pretty sure to backsllde,
Then. after the fashion of Greece. the
Corinthians loved to debate great
questions and to challenge every prop
ostion. The members split up in fac
tions, some saying, i am Of Paul, y
snd others, Il am of Apollos," and
Etill others claiming Cephas as their
Leader. Then they questioned Paul's
apostleship, and raised queries con-
cerning Christian doctrines and Chris
tian morals Some awful perversions
of the truth appeared. and the peo.
Pile were still more or less affected
by the shocking RIGHTEOUSNESS of the
city, for there Venus was worshipped
with most debasing rites. Corinth
was the metropolis of Greek vice"
Among the questions being discussed
at Corinth was that of the resurrec'
ton.
From Ephesus Paul wrote this
first letter to the Corinthians. In
chapter Is the apostle discusses the
question and refutes the arguments OF
the Corinthians, giving the fullest de-
tense and the sublimest description
of the resurrection contained in reve'
lation. What. Deny the resurrec.
| tion? Then you deny everything es'
sential. You knock out the Keystone
| of the arch of Christian doctrine; you
destroy the very foundation of Chris
tian hope. OF course, If there be no
such thing as the resurrection of the
dead. then Christ did not rise. and
nobody will rise We might as well
quit preaching: it is vain and your
| faith is vain. 1t is folly 20 talk about
our dead as being only asleep-they
are perished, if so be that the dead
rise not. The apostle rises from the
level plain of argument in rebuttal
(as the lawyers say and scars on eX.
ultant pinion into the atmosphere OF
inspired defamation and cries, But
now is Christ risen from the dead,
and become the first fruits OF them
that slept" (verse 20). Now, how
magnificently he paints the resurrec'
tion scene, and how he carries us
with him in his jubllation and his
argument concerning the conquest by
Christ. and OF the Christian in him.

The Way to Live.

Try so to live in the light Of Gods love
that it becomes second nature to you,
tolerate nothing adverse to it, be continu.
ally striving to please Inn in all things.
take all that He sends patiently; resolve
firmly never to commit the smallest de-
liberate fault, and if unhappily you are
overtaken by any sin. humble yourself
and rise up speedily. You will not be al.

your thoughts will be ruled by Him. His
presence will cheek useless or evil thoughts
and your heart will be perpetualy fixed
on Him, ready to do His holy will.--Jean
