Age of Activity.
I'VE live in an age of intense ac-
.tivity. in Il land of great opportunities,
and in the heart of the Mississippi
valley which is the heart of the cOun-
by. Chicago. the young giantess by
the inland seas, ninging her bold 1
will in the face of the world, is a
symbol and prophecy of the power
which this valley will exert i'll the
nation in the next fifty years. We have
a great work to do for Christ here in
the heart of this valley. Our church
is in almost the geographical center of
this city, which is at the intersection
of Ninth avenue and Twenty-third
street. We have a splendid future be
fore us if we are awake to improve it.
God grant us His spirit. Our Presby-
terrain church is making great prog
ress. In 1884 she enrolled G54,942
communicates; today she has 1890
coo. The spirit of union. of zeal. of
aggressive christianity fills the church.
Let US catch it and keep pace with the
hosts of God. Our great business is
to prcach the gospel of the grace of
God. That God loves men; that He
has manifested that love in Jesus
Christ, through whom He offers par
don for sin and eternal life to all. To
build up Christ-like character, over
| throw the evils that destroy souls,
help the weak, comfort the sorrow
ing, plant the hope of eternal life in
the heart of the dying, make better
homes and govcrnment-this is the
work set before us in testifying to
the gospel of the grace of God. May
| He help us to do it.
THE Lord bless you for all your
kindness to me and mine. | am but
a soldier in the Kings army and may
be sent to a new post any day, but
shall never cease to thank God for

last hour of my life in Rock Island OF

When Trees Go to Sleen

Trees and plants have their regular
times for going to sleep. They need
to rest from the work Of growing and
to repair and oil the machinery of life.
Some plants do all their sleeping in
the winter while the ground is frozen
and the limbs are bare of leaves. In
tropical countries where the snow nev-
er falls and it is always growing
weather the trees repose during the
rainy season or during the periods of
drought. They always choose the most
unfavorable working time for doing
their sleep. just as man chooses the
night, when he cannot see to work.

CANINE MEMORY.
The story OF Pet RuIi Terrier That
Did Not Forget.

y gentleman who is & great Traveller
and who is always accompanied in his
wanderings by bull terrier. to which
he is mitch attached, arrived one day
in the city of Florence. His dog was
for some reason intrusted to the care
| of the porter at the station, and in the
! excitement of the crowd and under the
| unusual experience of being separated
| from his master. who generally kept
! the animal with him. Bruno was
moved to make his escape. The most
careful search was made. and before
going to his hotel the traveller went to
| the police station to notify the gen.
darmeS of his loss. 1t was more than
an hour before he reached his hotel.
When he got there he spoke of his loss
so that if anything was heard of the dog
it would be understood that the animal
belonged to him TO his astonishment
the porter said: "But Your dog is here
sir He came before you. and we did
not know to whom he belonged" The
dog is here" repeated the gentleman
in surprise. "How came he here%
and after snutfing about the office for
awhile, he ran upstairs. l gave orders
to have him driven out, but the boys
have been busy, and he is up there
somewhere now" The traveller, Of
course. went upstairs at once, and
there on the mat before the chamber
numbered A lay Bruno, who sprang
up with the most frantic demonstra-
tions of delight at finding his master
again. The gentleman remembered
that two years previous he had been
with the dog at Florence and had stay
ed at this hotel. He did not remember
that he had occupied this particular
room, but on reference to the hotel reg.
lister such was found to be the fact
