drawing from them the inspiration for
IA fine address which turned mems
thoughts back to the innocency Of their
childhood days, to the asset of free
conscience, and a desire to awaken
tagain to the fact that they must be-
gin on the right side of the ledger.
When a man is spending his all, the
time comes when he finds himself poor,
morally, when he wants a crust for his
soul, when he is hopeless and despair
jag. 1t is terrible to think a man
would starve his soul, when there is a
Whole Book full of promises. A man,
no matter how stepped in crime, can
recall the day when the mention of
the name of God went to his soul and
he gave reverence to it. DR.. Ostrom
said he thought nothing better could
happen to our nation than to have a
revival of the old-fashioned Quaker
conscience, for the Quaker had a con-
science. Should there be an awaken
ing of conscience it would be the great
est wealth of the nation We could
have. When you make your promises
and don't keep them, why do you
spend that VOW" Yesterday when the
name of Jesus was sounded in your
ears, you thought all you had to do
to was to call the child Jesus and he
would come. But what of today? You
have spent your opportunities. Yes
terday is not today.
Speaking of the life of Henry w.
Grady and the story of his return to his
old home and mother, and the enact
ment of his childhood life for his moth
er's sake, DR.. Ostrom said that we all
need mothering. 1t was our greatest
need. We need the comfort of those
early days. and for the same quiet
innocence and confidence of our child
hood days.
He told all present to say to them
selves: I have promised the victory
over my old self and past life, and to-
night I will settle all the old account

The afternoon service at Central

DIR. Ostrom spoke at length on the.
outpouring of the living waters of life
from God into the man. He was ex-
pressive throughout. In many instances

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

There is now made an opera glass
which folds to the thickness of half
an inch and needs no case.
A fluid capable of anaesthetizing
plant when injected into the tissue

last.
A few years ago an engine of James
Watts manufacture, with sun and
planet wheel complete, was taken
down at a London brewery. 1t had
been continuously working for 102
years, and was not at all decrepit
when dismounted. 1t now forms an
archaeological exhibit in the museum
of Sydney university.
Cottonseed oil, corn oil and linseed
oil, there is good reason to believe,
will probably have rival at not
distant day in edible petroleum oil.
AS a matter of fact, petroleum has
been successfully desulphurized and
demineralized. Certain other solids
and ingredients have been extracted
from it and the production of fair
ly good edible oil has already re-
suited.

United States itself cannot supply
this immense quantity, and about
1900 cords of wood are imported
daily for this purpose. Canada, with
her vast ranges of forests, offers a
great field for the pulp manufacturer,
and where this timber is situated
near tide water it is most valuable.

adversely until he reached almost the
prime of life. his strength of mind and
heart conquered every obstacle. He was
born to heritage of gloom, but he was
a capital companion and a good story
teller. His quaint humor and wit were
due to strangely original and sometimes
grotesque intellectual perceptions and to
a marvelously fertile fancy. He INDUCED
these faculties as much by exercise of
will in order to throw off the depression
which weighed upon his own spirit
for the purpose of affording enjoyment
for others. In his later years, when
cares of state almost overbore him, the
relief afforded by this relaxation is said
to have averted utter collapse. In the
most serious crisis he would make some
quaint remark or tell an opposite story
that would cause a laugh, and would i'm
mediately relapse into profound melan-
choly. But he did not Obtrude his gloom
upon others. He was always companion
able in social intercourse. He was the
soul of honor, scrupulously clean in his
life and had a great, tender heart, pull
sating with sympathy for every creature
in distress. He could not bear to see
anything suffer. Other men have been
admired for their intellects or honored
for their achievements. Abraham Lin
coin was loved for his great heart, hui
man sympathies and sorrows. He yearn-
ed for peace on earth, good will to
men,, he agOnized over the horrors and
sufferings which war entailed, but gov
erned by an unfaltering sense of duty, his
iron will carried him through every trial
There was not moment during the four
years of fratricidal strife that he was
not ready to hold out the olive branch if
thereby peace and union could have been
secured. Destiny had foreordained that
the arbitrament of arms should settle the
questions at issue once and for all, and
Providence raised up Abraham Lincoln.

Exchange of Compliments.

The village sexton, in addition to be-
ing grave-digger, acted as a stonecut-
ter. house repairer and furniture re-
mover.
The local doctor, having obtained a
more lucrative appointment in another
county, employed the sexton to assist
in his removal.
When it came time to settling up ac-
counts the doctor deducted an old con-
ira account due by the sexton. He
wrote at the same time. objecting to
the charge made for removing his fur
niture.
IF this was steady, it would pay
much better than grave-digging.
The sexton replied:
"Indade. Oh wud be glad ave a
steady job; grave-diggin' is very slack
since you left"

Why He Waited.

On a certain occasion Henry Ward
Beecher's church was crowded to the
doors. But Beecher unexpectedly had
been called out of town, and in his
place in the pulpit there sat beard
less, black clad youth-a youth who is
to-day one of the most powerful
preachers in America. But this youth,
fresh from college, was unknown then,
and the great congregation had come
to hear Beecher and not him. Conse-
quently as soon as he arose and an
nounced that he was to preach in
Beecher's place the people began to
drift out First one went, then two,
then a half dozen, and the young man
stood watching this dispersal from the
pulpit 1t was trying moment, and
yet there sat on his youthful face a

Public School Is Extending.

The custom of celebrating the ami

exercises in the public schools is extend

magnitude of the work Lincoln wrought,
the true proportions of the man and
the fundamental character of the princi-

1t is a notable fact that in all the lists
of the ten greatest men of the century
the world has produced Lincoln's name

was he great, but in heart and character.
He was typical of the American idea of
equality of opportunity. He was in the

from obscurity to the highest civic hon

that he formed for himself a character
upon which his fame was builded. Born
to abject poverty, to neglect and abuse,

wretched mother. Reared in backwoods

Paving Whistler,

Sometimes we visited dealer who
owed him money, and Whistler would
receive a check Once the check was
not handed to him in what he thought
a sufficiently dignified manner, and he
said to the dealer: This is careless
of you. You push this check toward
me. and you do not realize what a
privilege it is to be able to hand it
to the master You should offer it on
a rich old English salver and in a
Singly way" Once dealer borrowed
a gorgeously embossed silver salver
for the occasion, and when the master
arrived for his check-he was very
punctual-presented it on the salver,
with carefully worded and elegant
little speech that be had taken some
pains to rehearse. The master was
pleased. This" said he, lis as it
should be."-Menpe's whistler as

Cool Wit Stops Disaster.

By his rare presence of mind, John
Donohue, engineer at the Bellevue
mine. near Scranton. Pa, averted what
might have been a disaster. with con-
siderable loss of life. recently.
The throttle lever of the engine
broke as he was hosting a loaded
cage, making it impossible to stop the
engine. Instead of letting the cage
rush up to the top or the tower, he
reversed his engine under full pres
sure. and thus kept his machine see-
saving until the main valves could be
closed.
Engineer DonOhue's cool wit not
only saved the shaft from destruction,
but certainly saved the men working
on the bottom from death or injury
He has received the hearty thanks
not only of his employers, but also of
the workers in the Bellevue mine, who
all vote him to be cOOl-headed and
cOura geOuS man.

Pairing in Parliament.

The custom Of pairing is quite I'M
known to the forms of parliament it
self. Any mention of it within either
chamber would be altogether out of
order. but there is a pleasant fiction
that it is purely private arrangement
to be made at the discretion of those
concerned. This is true enough TO a
limited extent and for a short time,
but pairing on any great party division
cannot be lightly carried out, and a
member who desires to pair at such
time will find that this can only be
done safely through the whips and not
can be given for absence.-London
