SLEEPING IN CHURCH.

DAVID JAS BURRELL, IN The Christian IntelIigencer
This is besetting sin. Ministers and people
alike prone to it. Five OF the twelve virgins
wise and five foolish; but 'they all slum
bered and slept" The three chosen disciples slept
in Gethsemane while their Lord agonizing not a
bow-shot away.
The campaign of the Gospel goes bravely on events
as important Waterloo trnaspire within sight
and hearing, the football of Gods militant host is all
about us; and care so little! There is sound
of moving in the tops of the mulberry trees; how
does it us? Japan has lost her religion and
is cropping after a God; that's the news, and
yawn it! We read things in the newspapers
that should stand out startngly the inscrip
tion in Beshazzar's Hall and they sound "like
ofttold tale in the dull ear of drowsy man."
This is the sleep which Shelley called twin brother
of DEATH" friend of mine died. while ago, after
a long sickness In answer to my question: did
he suffer at the last his wife said, ooh, he just
slept away / was glad for him; but it is a tel
rible thing for Christian to live life of daydreams
in the morning twilight, fully awake to the
high privileges and responsibilities OF his calling
and go into eternity that way.
The first symptom of this condition is neglect of
the Bible.
The second is neglect of the closet. 1t is time
to take heed when grass grows the path to the
trysting- place.
The third is indifference to truth. This is of
the peculiar dangers of the time we are living IN.
Every one of fundamental doctrines of the Chris
tan religion is openly called in question by preach
ers and Others wearing the Christian name. when
the trumpet giveth uncertain sound what shall
the righteous do?" The only thing to do is to
stand for what Christ says. matter what the rest
of the world THINKS about it.
The fourth is spiritual Incidence. 81 went by the
field of the slothful" says Solomon, "and 10, it was
all grown over with thorns." The Lord has a great
field and the field is always white unto the harvest,
and every servant has sickle provided for him; and
the word is "Go, reap" 1t is bad sign when a
rofessino Christian is not using his sickle and par
tcu.arly when he has grown indifferent to the fact
The 6fth symptom is wordiness' PpIse fast for

GROWING OLD.

softly, oh, SOFTLY the years have swept by thee
Touching thee lightly with tenaerest care
SORROW ana death they have often brought nigh thee
Yet they have left thee but beauty to mar
Growing old gracefully,
Gracefully fair.
Far from the storms that are lashing the ocean.
Nearer each day TO the pleasant nome light
far from the waves that big with connection
Under full sail, and the harbor in sight.
Growing old gracefully,
Cheerful and bright.
Past all the winds that were adverse and chilling
Past all the islands that ured thee to rest
Past all the currents that lured thee unwilling
Far from thy course to the land of the blest.
Growing old gracefully,
Peaceful and best
Never feeling of envy or sorrow
When the bright faces of children are seem
Never a year from the young wouldst thou borrow
Thou dost remember what eth between
Growing old willingly,
Thankful serene
Rich in experience that angels might covet,
Rich in a faith that hath grown with the years,
Rich in love that grew from and about it,
Soothing thy sorrows and hushing thy fears.
Growing old wealthily
Loving and dear
Hearts at the sound of thy coming are lightened
Ready and willing thy hand to relieve,
Many face at thy kind word has frightened,
ut is more blessed to give than receive"
Growing old happily,
Ceasing to greve.
Eyes that grow dim to earth and its glory,
Have sweet recompense youth cannot know
Ears that grow dull to earth and its story,
Drink in the songs that from Paradise flow.
Growing old graciousIy,
Purer than snow.

ings for twelve months was not enough.
The leaders recognize that fact now,
but they are in the struggle, and the
membership. BY a majority Of $4,000,
has voted a 10 per cent assessment. In
all other respects the strike is being
conducted in exact accordance with the
ideas Of the old school unionists.
The power Of organization is well
shown in the fight the members OF the
United Typothetae are making against
the printers. Although they constitute
but small minority Of the employers,
they are the organized minority, and
they are holding out firmly where the
unorganized majority is being forced
to yield AS Is usual In every strike,
a number Of employers are breaking
away from the Typothetae and treat
ing with the union as individuals, but
it takes long time for that sort of
campaign to be decisive. The Typothe-
tae will have to yield as an organized
body before the fight will end.
The printers, however, have the adj
vantage in the way OF organization.
A majority Of the competent printers
OF the country are in the ranks Of the
union, and competent printers cannot
be made In a week or in a year. That
makes the struggle largely one OF en-
durance. which means, in other words,
one OF finance.
There are some strikes in which no
amount Of money would enable the
strikers to win. IL they are unskilled
men, whose places can be filled, the
employers have always the advantage
IN strike. But with the printers the
case Is entirely different. n the print
crs lose in the present struggle it will
be because OF the lack OF funds. Ii
the members who are at work respond
as literally with their money as they
indicated by their votes it would APP
pear that the fight can be carried out
to successful termination for the
men.
