Just what the limit is in regard to
church organizations holding a sale
and supper has not yet been deter
mined, but it is believed that it has
been we'll nigh reached as we have
had three of these inside of a week.
The sale and supper Wednesday even
ing at the Baptist church rooms was
not as we'll attended as it deserved.
The ladies had provided an excellent
supper and these ladies are noted for
serving excellent meals. Their arti-
Giles also that were put on sale were
both attractive and useful, but they
were not, sold out to the extent that
the ladies had hoped. Generally this
organization is we'll patronized as the
Baptist people are always ready and
willing to help others, but there is a
limit to the number of these enter
tainmentS that can be patronized in
our city. We understand however
that the Baptist ladies took in about
$1,000, which was not 50 bad consider
ing the large number of things to at
tend these days.

Good and Bad Habits.--Rom. g. LIZ
Habit is deep.seated law of b,i.
man life. 1t Is divine arrangement
"a principle which we may use to
increase the efficiency of our work. It
may become our strength or our
weakness according as the habits
formed are good or bad. II sobriety
be made a habit temperance will
readily and easily characterize tho
life. If prudence sets the stitch a
discreet demeanor will follow. II
economy be the gauge set an accu.
mutation of necessities will blossom
forth automatically.
"As the twig Is bent the tree is in.
clined," has long been a household
warning for many II mother as she
has tried to guard her children from
physical, mental. and moral defects.
Early In life Isaac Watts formed the
habit of rhyming. His father became
very tired Of hearing the boy 90 on
in that way and threatened TO punish
him for it. Thereupon little Isaac In
tears cried out:
Pray, father. on me mercy take.
And | Will no more verses make"
After the death OF John Wesley
there was published a tract giving an
account of it. This was placed in the
hands of a learned philosopher who
was very. respectful toward religion.
After reading the tract he said to the
man who gave it to him: We'll. this
is the most astonishing instance of
the power of habit! Here is n man
who had been threescore years pray.
ing, preaching, and singing psalms
and, behold, he thinks of nothing elso
when he is dying"
Pnnctuality. is habit Of rare value.
Without it much of ones own time Is
lost as well as the valuable time OF
others. Much inconvenience and
ruffing of dispositions are caused by
the want of this virtue.
Painstaking care. that carefulness
which makes one accurate in all
things-that does not disregard trI
fles. but sees their importance in re.
lation to all success
Many people are suddenly moved
by some unexpected wave of enthus.
iasm or excitement. All at once they
may find themselves far from where
they would like to be--simply because
they were not guarded. They did not
possess that balance which comes
from persistent effort to hold one
self in hand. Self-control is one of
the grandest of the good habits.
Being we'll poised, having oneself at
command then the ability to see ones
opportunity and to seize it prompt.
ly, is of the utmost importance. To
be slow to detect, to halt, to dream
how unfortunate that would be when
golden chances are passing and we
may lay hold on one if We will. All
good habits are our strength, our
wealth. our character.

PRAY Not Alone For Self.

A gentleman who was travelling in Ire.
land sat down one day in cottage to talk
with an old woman. As they were having
their dish of discourse" there came a clap
of thunder, and the old woman at once
spread out her hands in supplication, cry
ing.
"God bless and save us! And save his
honor, and save the people and all of us"
For the space of half an hour the thun.
der was frequent, and. each time she
prayed. Then she told the visitor this
story, which has good moral in its defn-
ing of the proper spirit which should be.
long to prayer:
"There was man, and he was working
in a field like, and it came on to thunder,
and he put his head in hole in the wall
and he said:
"'God save what's out O. mel
"But he ought to have prayed for the
whole of him, for he no sooner said that
than the wall fell and took his head off.
1T was telled to me that this was a
judgment on the crathur, because it is not
right to pray small, just for yoursilf. But
you should pray large-to save us all-pray
big and open hearted. But that may be
only a story, sir"

Liberty.

There is no sweeter word in human
speech than liberty, no finer thought in
human mind, no richer gift in human life.
What is freedom? Independence OF
law? So many think. But they are mis-
taken. He who imagines freedom con-
tally wrong.
We offer the Ten Commandments to a
man for his moral code. He rejects the
code, saying, 81 will be bound by no ta-
BILE of laws. l am free" He is not free.
He may as well reject the multiplication
table or the law of gravitation.
81 will be enslayed by no creed" En-.
slave; they are declarations of religious
independence, proclamations of emanci.
patton, affirmations of freedom. A creed
is much like political platform-a state
ment OF opinions. No one platform ever
contained all the political opinions of the
men who adopted it. No one creed ever
contained all the religious opinions Of its
to state the essential doctrines in which
its makers agree.
A bird is free in the air. The air is its
element. A fish is free in the water. Wa
ter is its element. Man is free in obedi-
ence to the laws OF his being. The Bible
contains these laws. Moral judgment con-
firms them. Conscience approves when we
observe them, accuses us when we violate
them. A man who persists in sin is as
truly out of his element as a trout in
the air or a sparrow in water. And the
end is the same when any living creature
gets out of its element out of harmony
with law-the penalty is death.
But an intervening hand may restore
the fish and the bird to their elements? I?
Yes. And is there no hand to restore a
lost man to his element? Christ is Gods
answer to that question. "Whom the Son
makes free, he is free indeed. ."-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

Sensitive to Every Impression

In the quaint little house where Shakes
peare once lived, writes Peter Ainslee, for
many years no register was kept, and Wis.
itors wrote their names upon the walls and
ceilings, until every bit of space had been
occupied with some handwriting, and it
must not be forgotten that fully 40, 600 peo-
! pie visited there every year. Sir Walter
Scott had written with his diamond ring
his name upon the window pane, and there
wexe the names of Washington Irving,
John Ruskin, and a host OF distinguished
and non-distinguished visitors. Standing
there, felt as though that little room
was like the human heart, sensible to every
influence, and inviting every conner to
write his name upon its walls. for the
heart is the most impressionable Of all
Gods works. 1t gets a part Of every pass
ing thought, word. look. picture every
thing, and here, lies its salvation. il II
holds the bad. Luther wisely said, II am
more afraid Of my own heart than of the
Pope and all his cardinsls." And hence
that imperative demand, Love the Lord
with all thy heart"
