incandescent burner Moved by what
ever impulse, it seeks this light just
as it always sought the candle, and
just as humans have always sought
and still are seeking the flame that
draws them to their destruction; but
now the moth that is drawn to an
electric light cannot, however eager it
may be. cast itself in the fame.
1T throws itself at the light, only
to encounter that protecting bulb. 1t
f1utters up in the narrow space be-
tween the bulb end the encircling
shade and beats its wings and throws
itself about in an effort to get in there,
and it f1utters out and flies around the
shade and then comes back to the
bulb.
1T may bruise its body and mar the
bloom of its silky wings, but here it is
in some measure protected against
itself. The gentle moth attracted by
the glitter cannot, from this light, fall
manned and broken as at the candies
base.
Would that some such shield could
be set up for the protection of the
thoughtless futterers round the fame
of life"

There is no end of trouble between
the Government Printing Office and
many OF the officials in the various
government departments, all due to
the new spelling order put into effect
by direction of the President. The
new rules are explicit, and the big

OF the order to the very letter, but in
many cases when proofs OF work are
submitted to the officials of the de-
partment for which the work is being
done, the proofs will be returned to
the Public Printer with the spelling
changed and made according to the
old way. One controversy which has
reached an acute stage is between
Secretary of the Navy, Bonaparte, and
Printer Stillings. The disagreement
is over the spelling of the word "pass-

and private secretaries have been
hurled back and forth from one
official to, the other but the case is no
nearer settlement now than a week or
more ago when it commenced. A
truce has been signed and both are

How to Make Good Roads

UeOlRe w. SOOlcy, seCretaTy anu
engineer of the state highway COM
mission, has issued the commissions
bulletin No l. 1t deals in details in
instructions as to the proper method
of building substantial roads in
various kinds OF soil at the least ex-
pense. Numerous illustrations are
used. A set of ideal specifications are
those used In Hennepin county for
several years pas.
Mr.. Cooley gives the following rules
for the guidance of road overseers
throughout the state:
Keep all lines of drainage open.
Keep ruts and hollows out OF the
road by continuous filling and drag
ing.
Keep stones, sod and all vegetable
matter off the road surface.
Fill at low places and holes with
the same material of which the road is
built.
See that the culverts are in condition
to take care of the flowing water,
especially before freezing up time,
and open them up as early in the
spring rs possible.
Don't change your men and teams
around too much. They will give
more satisfaction if kept at the same
class of work.
Keep weeds and brush away from
the sides of the road as much as pos
sible and wherever the road Is too
much shaded, especially if it is clay,
trim the trees up to a height of eight
feet above the ground.
Never disturb a government corner
or boundary monument without seeing
that it is re-estabIished by some COM
petent surveyor and with the adjacent
proprietors. 1t is their property even
though it is in a public highway and
liable for damages if you disturb it
without giving due notice.
All the material within the limits OF
the right of way may be used for road
purposes only. You have no right to
the grass or timber nor to the earth or
stone not required for the road. All

THE COURTsHIPs OF JOHN WESLEY

The COURTSHIPS OF JOHN WESLEY.
While in Savannah, in March, one of the edi-
tors Of the CENTRAL heard lecture on this sub
ject, by the Rev. DIR. AinswortE of the Wesley
Monumental Church. After a general discus
sion upon the merits of courtship and marriage
Dr. Alnsworth said that the pinnacle upon which
impartial historians have placed John Wesley
renders every minute act of his life worthy of
study and emulation. ELECTION writer's tell us
that true heroes love but once" he said. "This
was not true in the case of John Wesley, as he
had at least four serious affairs of the heart"
Dr. Ainsworth traced the history of Wesley's
courtships with Mary Granville, Sophia Hop
kins, of Savannah, Grace Murray, and the widow
Va7eille. AT the age of 48 years, Wesley was
married to the widow, who Dr. Ainsworth said.

ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD.


The simplicity of the Bible language suggests
the simplicity of really Cody life. Can you
find in the Word can you imagine any descrip-
ton of personal religion more comprehensive
and yet more definite than this? In all
Christian literature is there better description
of a religious life, its unity, its strength, its
honor and dignity and its lofty aim? This old
time saint who lived so many centuries ago;
there was one thing in his long life that is wor-
thy of remembrance in all the ages, one thing
that included and crowned all his faith, his wor-
ship and his conduct, he ''walked with Cod
He found God himself to be his best friend, and
he made him his daily companion. He lived
in his presence. He held constant communion
with him He beheld his face in love and he
walked each day in the light of his countenance.
He was not hermit forsaking his fellowmen.
He was not celibate, without home and fami-
w. He was the father of sons and daughters
and dwelt among them, and vet he "walked with
God" His name is not preserved to us because
of his possessions, or his power ovcr men, or his
fame in history The chief fact in character
and in living was that fulfilling all his relations
discharging all his duties, in all these things,
he found it possible to walk with God; Gin the
world though not Of it :" on the earth but living
with God, loving his fellows and his family
but all the more loving God. In this life there
was growth and progress. He went forward and
upward. 1t seems the natural end of such
life, that, at the last, che was not for God took
him" This was his reward, he passed without
death through the veil, to walk with God in
heavenly ways.
The intimation is that he did not need death
and its sanctifying power. He had lived with
God, so really, so intimately. that without sick
ness or pain, or mystery Of DEATH he was made
"meet to be a partaker Of the inheritance Of the
saints in light" No doubt the marvellous trans
lation Of Enoch was a revelation and promise
Of the life beyond deatF,the Immortality Of the
saints of God No doubt it was designed to teach
that such holy life. walk with God through
the world would surely end in the endless life
Christ says to us ALL eff any man will do my
savings he shall not see death" Death in it's
great and terrible reality is not for the disciples
Of Christ Death is Gods servant sent to draw
aside the portere curtain, and usher MS into
the life where we walk with God, in an unbroken
and everlasting fellowship and service.

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.


that has been unfortunately obtruded upon the
church, it is not to be assumed that our people
who constitute the churck are Indifferent. nor
that they have any interests to subserve other
than the welfare of the Kingdom of our Lord.
1t becomes important to inquire, so far as we
may, as to the attitude of the people toward tie
question of the integrity and permanence of
their church in its organic life. This question
has been raised already and is one of utmost
consideration. 1t is not to be supposed that
honest conviction on this subject is unit, but
in some essentials we are persuaded there must
be very general agreement
Our people want peace Controversy is itself
distasteful the unknd feelings and ungenerous
suspicious, so often associated with it, are more
so. Ardent agitations that consume the strength
and disturb the fellowship Of brethren who have
wrought in harmony and testified in unison are
in these respects to be deplored, however essen
tal the vindication of truth may be. One of
our ruling elders reared in the North, writes us
substantially, 'I do not want union and I do
not want discussions I want peace" The ex-
ceptional harmony of the church throughout,
in doctrine, worship, fellowship and activity has
been most marked The people would have it
permanently characteristic of the life of the
church
Our people want truth. They believe the
teachings of the church. They believe the doc
trines of Grace as taught from our pulpits and
in our standards They want to continue to
cherish Them and their children to be nourished
in them. They believe in the atoning sacrifice
of Christ in a Sovereign Saviour who can sub
due and rule in the hearts of men that we are
saved by grace and "kept by the power of God
through faith unto salvation" They do not want
alliance with any communion in which there
are divers elements that reject these or kindred
truths They believe in whole Bible and do
not want their young men and women brought
under the influence Of ''higher criticism that
dismembers the body of inspired truth They
wish to cherish and foster the utmost confidence
in the authority of the Word of God They
want "the truth as it is in Jesus taught to
their children and themselves
Our people want a spiritual church and
spiritual worship Such church alone is
endued with true power. and can hold the con-
fdence of the intelligent and devout worshiper.
II has something that money cannot buy and
numbers cannot neutralize The people want
our church courts kept free from political ques-
tons and our pulpits free from political and
other secular discussions They believe that our
Lords Kingdom is not of this world, and that
