WHEN THs FooL IL WISE

~ keE. Russell n. CoaWsIL q. d.
Text.--"Even a fool, II he hold his
peace. Is counted wlse,"--Proveros
xvil;2S.
II man knew that he were fool
he would be very wise man. A wise
man Is fool who remains silent, and
a fool IL very wise who keeps quiet.
This great statement OF ancient phi
losophy Christ made real by tho power
OF his love, He smelted It into one
great loving principle,
AS we mediate upon the various
verses bearing upon this central
thought, we ask of God when we shall
keep silent and when is the proper
time for us to speak
know OF no clearer, more compre-
henslye definition OF fool In the
Scriptural sense than that "he is a
person of no value" II he Is per
son Of any use he is likely to be dis
covered am reminded OF n simple.

entirely still they will not discover
that you are an idiot" The visitors
who came in spoke to him. but he
made no reply, Finally one man asked
him series OF questions, and the
young man making no answer the
angry questloner exclaimed, You act

turned to his father and said, Father,

what will be the value of that crop.
He then has something to speak about,
something of value on which 10 base
his representations.
So the gospel message. II n man
has in his heart the love OF God and
appreciates the character and teach
ings of Jesus Christ, the sacrifice He
made for the world, he Will estimate
how much he has OF II, and can then
decide of what he can speak. II you

to keep silent For any man who has
the grace of God in his heart has a
right to speak Of the good things that
Christ has done for him. Anywhere
to-day you will find some person wait

Christ has done for your soul. &C
and tell what great things Christ has

thine own soul. and speak In simple
plain terms. considering carefully, but
not too carefully, the time, the season
in which to speak. For there is q
time to keep silent, says the great
proverb writer. and there is n time tC
speak That time for silence, that
| time for speech, comes nearly every
hour, and certainly every day In the
history of every follower Of the LORD
Jesus Christ.

In a speech at Boston a few weeks
ago President Hadley OF Yale said
there would be an emperor at Wash
ington within twenty-five years unless
the trusts were curbed. There is, how
ever, no evidence to support the theory
that 1t was this pleasing picture which
induced Mr.. Rockefeller to hand Presi-
dent Hadley the million recently
turned over for Yale's benefit.

The late Marquis Of Butte adopted a
novel method Of commemOrating his
silver wedding. He placed in the
hands Of the town council Of Cardiff
the sum of one thousand pounds, and
directed that the income of the fund
should be presented annually as a
bridal dowry to some girl of the poorer
class in Cardiff, whose marriage was
hindered by lack Of means. At the
recent presentation in the town hall the
Mayor presided, and after the wedding
read to the newly married couple
eleven verses of the second chapter Of
Saint Johns Gospel, as the condition Of
the dowry required. Besides the
money, the bride also received Bible
from the Mayoress.

Tea, coffee and cocoa, according to
an annual compilation of the American
Grocer, cost the people of the United
States, on an average. two dollars and
seventy cents last year. Alcoholic
drinks cost more than five times as
much. All such figures, on a per
capita basis, are misleadingly small,
because they are spread over so many
persons who are not participants at all.
This lowers the average. How much
does tea cost the average tea-drinker
by comparison with the whisky of its
average consumer? 1t would be still
more interesting to know that.

In his Harvard address, President
Roosevelt touched ON many topics III
his masterful Emperor William style
and said nothing that would not meet
was general approval But the points
which viii sink deepest into the hearts
OF the American people are those
touching the accumulation and dis
pensing OF wealth. And this for the
reason that In the last few months the
subject has been debated and acted
upon as never before, II is little sim
gular that on the same day there spoke
other voices which were in unison anil

majority OF the Equitable life insur-
ance' stock. headed by Grover Cleve-
land, made report which was brief,
but in some respects more funda-
mental than the detailed accounts OF
official misdeeds from other sources,
Whatever may be thought OF Mr..
Cleveland In politics, there is no queS.
ton as to his rugged honesty and de-
termination. When the trustees ex-
pected from him salve he gave them
a dagger. In few words he explained
to the policy-holders that the derelic-
tions had been so great as TO nearly
send the association on the rocks, and
that only retrenchment and reform
would remedy the evil On the same

and that it was much better for a man
to acquire honestly than to spend some
OF his surplus in charity, he said what
every righteous man believes to be the
truth. We have no quarrel with
wealth nor with rich men who have
honestly acquired great fortunes. We
do quarrel with those who by lnjus-
tice, corruption, violation OF the law,
oppression and robbery cheat the many
to get fortunes they cannot use. We
quarrel with those who have used the
public franchises and the public
wealth to enrich themselves without
proper compensation. We quarrel with
those who have issued lying promises
to allure public investment and then
have stolen it by means more des-
picable than highway robbery. We
think the presidents sermon will long
last as a beacon light in our ethical
and political history and hope that 1t
will be acted on by the great body OF
the American people, who are upright
and desire to injure no man.

Andrew Johnson,s Writing.

The letters Of President Taylor are
rare, but perhaps those of Andrew
Johnson are the rarest as he did but
little of his own writing. His son
conducted most Of his correspondence
and signed his fathers name to the
letters. 1t is related that one reason
why President Johnson wrote so little
was owing to an accident which hap
pened to him when he was working at
his trade as tailor. One day tailor's
heavy iron goose fell on his arm, so
injuring that member that he found it
extremely difficult to indulge in PEN
manship thereafter. Andrew Johnson
was the poorest writer among the
Presidents as well as the rarest. His
handwriting was very much of a
scrawI and can scarcely be deciphered
by the average reader.
