engineers, but not the owners. My

I am to give account for 1t. You say.
MAY not q man do what he will with

thing. What is the engine for? To
look at? No, for use. Is IL made to
be destroyed? If so 1t might just as
well be made of wood and paint or a
chrome engine. Some men are such
they look like the real thing, but they
do not act like It. You have seen n
model engine under glass case that
you wind up. The wheels go, but the
engine does not. The wheels work
easily because they don't touch the
track. have seen some men and
suppose there are some women, who
are wound up with keys. The wheels
buzz, but there is nothing done. There
are people who sit in theatre, and the
tears run down their cheeks, and they
think they are good because they can
cry. They pay s1.50 for the privilege
of weeping. We all know how we
smooth ourselves when a. tear comes.
We feel penitent and say, 1--WE are
not so bad as we thought" 1t is a toy
engine, the wheels go, but II does not
advance. A perfect engine is meant
to do something in the world, and so
are we IL coupled TO the task that God
gives us. Some people don't want to
pull, they want TO pe pulled. You
always see dead engine in the middle

do you like, the front or somewhere
in the middle? God give us the front,
with all its dangers and perils and
joys.
Perfect engines get hold of the track.
Orders come with lightning rapidity
to the engineer, and they must be
obeyed without question. The respon-
sibility for the orders is not with him,
his responsibility is to execute them.
God can run this world, but He has
put 1t into your hands to run your
self. When you stop at the end of the
road you can be perfectly certain that

preach the sermon" think there is
great analogy in 1t. think there
is a living parable for those who have

Morbus sabbaticus,

Morbus Sabbaticus, or Sunday sick
ness, disease peculiar to church men,
bers. The attack comes on suddenly
on every Sunday; no symptoms are
felt on Saturday night the patient
sleeps well and wakes feeling well;
eats a hearty breakfast, but about
church time the attack comes on and
continues until services are over for
the morning. Then the patient feels
easy and eats a hearty dinner. In the
afternoon he feels much better, and Is
able to take walk, talk about politics,
and read the Sunday papers; he eats
q hearty supper, but about church time
he has another attack and stays at
home. He retires early, sleeps well
and wakes up Monday morning re-
freshed and able to go to work, and
does not have any symptoms of the dis
ease until the following Sunday. The
peculiar features are as follows:
1. 1t always attacks members of the
church.
2. 1t never makes it appearance ex-
cept on the Sabbath
3. The symptoms vary, but it never
interferes with the sleep or appetite.
4. 1t never lasts more than twenty
four hours.
5. 1t generally attacks the head of
the family.
@. No physician Is ever called.
Z. 1t always proves fatal in the end
to the soul.
8. No remedy is known for it except
prsyer.
8. Religion is the only antidote.
10. 1t is becoming fearfully prevalent
and is sweeping thousands every year
prematurely TO destruction.

EPNORTH LEAGUE LESSONS

Minor Moralities.-Eph. 4. e5-s2.

Minor Moraities.-Eph 4. a5-32.
Our lesson from Ephesians is cata-
logue of the more common vices of
life and an exhortion to shun them
Minor moralities are only minor be-
cause less emphasized There are
no little sins. Sin is hateful to God
and deadly in it's nature. There are
no mtnor moralities in the sense of
less important. but there are some
which are more likely than others to
be considered as trivial or unneces-
sary, but which are among the very
important elements of q Christian
character. Among them are those
enumerated in our lesson; the avoid
ance of lying, anger, stealing, ribaldry
and brawling. 1t is not surprising
when you consider the prevalence of
these vices among heather nations
that they should have crept into the
early Christian church. Not only
does the apostle rebuke these vices,
but he commends the opposite vir-
tues, tenderness, and forgiveness.
A careful attendance to little faults
and little virtues is necessary to the
building up of a model Christian
character.
Strictly speaking there are no small
sins. But sins which are common
and vices that are winked at are look
ed upon differently from gross and
violent sins. To kill Is murder, but
to be angry at a brother is thought
trivial. though the Scriptures say he
who Is so disposed toward his broth
er Is a murderer" To violate chastl-
ty is criminal, but to Took with lust"
Is thought an insignificant matter.
Little Sins Indicate a Wrong Heart.
The speck on the apple indicates the
worm at the core. The angry word.
the profane Jest, the unclean story
indicate the corruption within. Often
a word will reveal character like a
flash OF lightning In a dark night.
No man begins with murder and
theft. He has practlsed long In the
school of deceit, anger. pilfering. and
prevaricatfng. A lie leads to swear
ing a secret sin leads to others to
cover that one up. A young man
hypothecates a trust fund; to cover
that up he lies. he steals more, he may
even kill to cover up his tracks. How
often is one hurried on from small
sin to large one. How often the
small beginning ends in ruin and dis
grace.
1t was only a glass of wine; but 1t
led one to be a drunkard. 1t was only
bad book; but it smirched the soul
and deflled the imagination 1t was
only sinful pride, but II led to theft
and crime. One little deviation from
the path of rectltude may be the
switch which will tura the whole train
of life on to the side track Keep
the heart right and pure.

COMMERCIAL RtVIfW.

Bradstreeps says: TRADE reports,
crop conditions and, to lesser degree,
collections, display an improved appear
ance, the result of rather better weather
conditions. Clearing skies and more sea-
sonable weather have made for better
retail trade, improved recorder business
with jobbers in seasonable goods, and
last, but not least, have cleared the crop
situation and allowed some measure OF
ascertainment of the damage done by
excessive rains, high water or low tenn
perature in widely separated areas.
Weather and crop irregularities color
trade reports, but it is to be noted that
the Northwestern cities return very op-
tlmistic reports, the Central West is
cheerful and some Southern points re-
port trade better than anticipated earlier.
Effects on trade of the backward spring
at the East are being repaired. Indus
try is still active, though the iron and
steel trades are rather quieter with
crude materials easier, though scrap is
in rather better tone. Building is active
in the country over. and, except at Chi
cago, labor troubles are not seriously
hampering All kinds of building mate
rial, including lumber, brick, cement,
glass, paints, oils and hardware, are act
lively called for Collections show lit
tie change, except in the direction Of
improvement in certain Western CEN
ters. Money is still easy The textile
trade shows irregularity in different
lines. Cotton goods, as a whole, are
strongly held, but demand varies ac-
,ordingly as different varieties are con-
sidered. Woolen goods are rather quiet,
but strong. Manufacturers are buying
quite literally OF high-priced wool, the
latter article being at the highest price
IN years. Silk manufacturers report

Apparsnt aottomless Pit.

A bottomless pit has been found In
the mountains of Hualalai, back of
kailua. 1t is about four feet in diam
eter. The pit is peculiar from the
fact that 1t sucks in the air with re.
markable force. Piece OF paper placed
over the mouth do not float gently
down, but are suddenly drawn In and
disappear with startling rapidity. The
air rushing into the pit can be dis
tipctly felt by people standing on the
edge There has been no attempt
made thus far to reach the bottom Of
the pit or to determine its character.
Strange sounds are heard in Honau.
nau. Every night the Inhabitants of
that section distinctly hear noise
similar to the blowing of deep
steamship whistle. Nobody has been
able to discover any cause for It and
considerable anxiety is felt by the su.
perstitious. The noise Is heard for
about five seconds and then subsidies
for space Of about ten minutes and
then resumes for another Ave seconds.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES
JUNE ElcHTEENTH.
Minor Morailtles. Heb. 10: ,-a,.

Minor Moralltles. Heb. 10: f-21.
We would not tell lies to ourselves,
and we shall not lie to one another,
II we love our brothers as ourselves.
The main purpose of true industry
Is not and cannot be selfish; it Is
that we may be able to minister.
II is not enough not to talk foul
ness--what pulls down; we must talk
to edification-what builds up.
One of the sweetest of all charac-
teristics Is simple kindaess. II does
more good in the world than the more
splendid virtue Of herolsm
Suggestions.
There are no minor moralities.
Every one Of them runs into major
morality. And there are no major
moralities. for each may be over
shadowed at times by a minor moral
ity.
Cleanliness is minor morality
when 1t concerns the finger nails, but
not when IL concerns the heart; and
sometimes the condition of the finger
nails has something to do with the
condition of the heart.
Hospitality is a minor morality,
but not when we are opening the
door to Christ or to any one Of
Christ's children whom He tells us to
receive.
Promptness is a minor morality,
but not when 1t concerns the ac-
ceptance of Christ and the NOW"
which Is the day Of salvation.
Illustrations.
Any flaw In character may mean
ruin, just as any least hole In dyke
may let In the ocean.
A father is never satisfied to have
his sons in any way inferior to him
self; and so we are to be perfect, as
our Father in heaven is perfect.
After we would call the statue
done, the true artist bestows upon it
the most assiduous labor. So is 1t
with the statue of life.
When l see a builder particular
about the fit of rafter. l am sure
he will leave no cracks in the parlor
floor
Questions.
Am I neglecting any of the graces
of character?
Do l constantly hold up before my
self the Perfect Model?
Is there any one point in which
can note improvement in myself?
Quotations.
Kindness is wisdom. There is none
in life
But needs it, and may learn.

1t is settled that any form of license,

A DREAMER.

J. A. EDGEBToN.
I'd rather sing of Liberty,
Though nameless to the end,
Than fawn to prosper, and the knee
To Mammon bend,
Id rather stand for human rights,
Though to the world unknown
Than walk on Famcs alluring heights
For self alone
I'd rather in cabin dwell,
Unmentioned all my days,
Imam to desert my principle
For wealth or praise.
Id rather feel some work I'd wrought
-. That would my brother bless.
Than prostitute my honest thought
For mere success,
IL rather ever hold in view
The white Christ as my goal.
I'd rather know | had been true

Than be required to sacrifice
My spirits inner light
And give my manhood as the price

Who can such notions holdy

Finding Our Lost Stars,

hood of humanity which can find God
very near in the distant stars and very
great in tiny flowers. In this in.
stinctive trust and sense of safety the
Magl followed their stars across the
wastes of sands.
Then they came to the city. They
even came to Herod's court. 1t was
a new world. 1t was utterly unlike the
mysterious tents of a sheik in the free.
dom of the desert. this thronged. gay.
plotting Jerusalem. The Magi were
not at home there. Yet the city woYe
its spell about them. Their hearts We're
stihed in its narrow walls: but the
charm of its midnight and the splendor
or its noon We're over them. They
gained access to Herod the King and
saw his glory They found themselves
at last made the unconscious messen-
ger of his crafty, cruel purpose. They
lost their star, too.
But God kept it waiting for them.
AT length, after many days, the charm
OF the great city was lost, and the
Magi set out on their quest once more.
Suddenly the dear, familiar star that
they had followed and loved in the
earlier days burst forth in clear shin
ing before them. "And when they saw
the star they rejoiced with exceeding
great JOY" Perhaps they followed il
and loved it all the better after their
experience in the great city.
The whole incident may be read MS
parable. We follow our star in the
simple faith and mistaken trust Of
our childhood, pressing forward in the
quest which our mothers teachings
made holy for us. We follow our star
until at length the great tasks of life
absorb us and we are tempted to for
get the earlier guide while we are
dazzled with the artificial and the gay
in this great city of Worldly Endeavor.
We lose our star.
But God is keeping it ready to shine
again for us all the time. Some day
we are sent out to resume the old
quest or we tear ourselves away from
what threatens to become a bondage.
Then, thank God, the old star of child
hoods faith shines for us again, and
we take up the task gladly under its
pure light.
To every one who has had this ex-
perience the joy of the Magi on finding
their lost star will be very clear. They.
too, have found their lost stars and
have rejoiced. 1t is the divine kindness
that keeps the star for us, and even
heaven reioices with us when we find
our dear old star again.-Zion's Herald.
