WORKING FOR HUMANITY.

Many a pastor has been compelled
to say to his dear people, IF you We're

This is the danger of modern times.
We are kind to each other in affiic-
lions, generous to each other in our
charity, interested in each others well
fare, but when the circle widens out
beyond personal friendship, takes in
the larger brotherhood and the hui
mainly beyond, we need TO think of
the apostles exhortatiOn: Look not
every man on his own things, but
every man also on the things of 9TH

To be a Christian we must think of
the other man, offer our sOciability and
make the world a happier place to live
in. be open-eyed TO see the needs OF
men and be a reformer in their behalf;
think for others, do for others even
when it costs sweat and blood That
is what Washington and Lincoln, Car
rison and Wendell Phillips did.

LESSON OF THE EARTHQUAKE.

BY Rev. r. c. Bruuer.
Thou hast made the earth to trem-
bic; thou hast broken it, for it shak-
eth" Psalms CO.,.
Such is word picture of the pres
ent condition of our planet How
earth's dull inhabitants were startled
a year ago or more in the eruption Of
Mount Pelee, located in one of the
West India islands, the appalling
catastrophe putting the number of
dead at 10000. The history of these
tragedies of nature are found TO be
closely allied to earthquakes. Perhaps
in the annals of time the first earth
quake occurred at the time of the con-
federacy against Jehovah when Korah,
In Hebrew times, rebelled against God.
The earthquake opened It's colossal
mouth and swallowed the wicked
crowd. Next of any distinction came
1,471 years before the angels sang the
advent song of Christ the Lord. Then
in the year 10 A. d., after the new
kingdom Of God came, while the wick
ed hearted Tiberius reigned, in a sim
gle day 10000 were caught in the
grip Of the torn-up crust and hurled
into eternity.
Then, recently, the destruction of
the town Of st. Pierre, where 1t is re-
ported nearly $4,000 persisted in half
minute. This scrap of earthquake
history starts the scholar to philos-
ophizing on the cause of it. There is
moral lesson in these disturbances
of which we have but a dim concep-
ton.
The Creator is renovating mans
temporal abode. The end of the world
may not be more THAI 100 years away.
The rocking of the earth has salu-
tary effect upon mankind religi0uSly.
l do not believe I'm soaring men into
the kingdom of God, but such appaIl-
ing lessons as come to us from the
island of the sea ought TO turn out
feet into the path that leads into the
secure shelter of the Rock of Ages.

DENIES SPIRITS CAN AID.

BY Rev. ". A. Bartlett
The revelations of God are made
through the Bible, and in not a single
instance has there been revealed any
thing Of value to the world through
Spiritualistic mediums.
1t has been written that If any
man lack wisdom let him ask of God.
who giveth to all men literally and up
braideth not, and it shall be given
him. There is no doubt of a spirit
world. The best of all authorities tell
us so. There are strange and unac-
countable phenomena which suggest
vast possibilities. There are psychic
forces beyond the understanding and
penetration of mortal minds.
But it is TO be noticed that with all
the claims made by those who are i'm
posters or who are sincere the world
has never been given one fact of i'm
portance in all the multitude of inven-
ton and discovery. Not one addi-
tional word has come with reference
to the mighty problems with which hui
mainly is wrestling with reference to
the future life.
God made his revelation in the light.
These are made in the dark. God has
told once for all that which is essen
| t1al for man to know concerning heav-
en- and hell, how to gain one and es-
cape the other. He has revealed sub
lime truths about sin, death and the
resurrection through his accredited
agents.
Is it to be thought for one moment
| that he would vouchsafe to reveal the
majestic truths concerning himself to
some individual who advertises to give
points on the horse races, who guar
antees safe tips in speculation and
may turn from holding an interview
with somebody's mamma in heaven to
| give a masher points about where and
how he can meet and subdue his vic
tim? Who is this God? Is he one to
uifie with? Will he patiently deal
with the soothsayers forever?

STANDARD OF MEASUREMENT.
nv Rev a. H. SrenbenS m m

Our estimate of life is determined
largely by our standard of measure
ment Measured by the commercial
standard man is a machine to run its
three score years and ten and then to
be laid aside and cast into the rub
bish heap. He is part Of life's tread
mill.
Round and round goes the wheel,
propelled by human hearts and hands,
grinding out the grim grist of stern
necessities, knowing little Of the deep
er joys that tighten the burdens and
sweeten the spirit Of human toll. By
the social standard he is polished or
polite, or boorish and rude; by the
literary standard he is learned or I'M
learned, wise or unwise.
The divine measurement brings man
out as an immortal soul, capable of al
most infinite possibilities, when right
~ harnessed to life's labors.
