BE Greedy of Sunshine.

If by any curious chance there
should be q little sunshine, be greedy
therefor, writes an English physician
in the London World. Protect your
eyes and head and the back of your
neck (the exposed part of your spinal
cord, that is) and sit in it as long as
it lasts. With these precautions sun
stroke is not to be feared. and SUM-
light is life to man and death to his
most deadly foe. Not even the spores
of a microbe can withstand direct sun-
shine, and the "sun bath is a luxury
to be had for notlling-or not: at all
in this country. We are beginning to
discover nowadays that sunlight and
the invisible rays that accompany it
are among the most powerful thera-
peutic agents that we possess. II
without sunlight there would be no
living thing upon the earth.

BE Thankful For Good People.

How immense is the number OF
good men and good women found in
the world, and how much occasion for
gratitude this fact gives us! There
doubtless are bad people, far too many
of them; but we are liable to forget
how many good people there are. So
ciety is full Of men ard wenlen who
do justly, love mercy, aud walk humbly
with their God" In every community
we may find them-people who love
their kind, give handsomely out of the
pure love of giving, work faithfully,
pray approximately, and do all in their
power to put down evil, enthrone the
good, and make this world more like
heaven.
Let us thank God for the multitudes
Of good men and good women there
are in the world, and the proportion
is greater than people think. One mar
who jumps over Niagara makes far
more excitement than. the thousands
who &c there and do not jump. You
heard all ABOUT the man who leaped
from the Brooklyn ; ridge not long ago.
but not one word concerning any Of
the thousands upon thousands who
passed ove quietly. -
This is Gods world, and a good
world, and it is going to grow better
and better. There are bad people i'll
it, but the Bible is in it, and multitudes
of Bible loving, soul loving Christians
are in it. God Himself and the Holy
Spirit are in it also.
Right is stronger than wrong; good
is stronger than evil; God is stronger
than Satan. Christ is yet to ''see OF
the .ravail of LIS soul, and be salts
fed" lis kingdom is to come"
and His Twill" is to be done on earth
as it is in heaven" Ht is to reign
'from sea to sea, and from the river
unto the ends OF the EARTH" This
God is our God forever and ever. Let
us always, and especially at this sea-
son, t"thank"God and. take courage

CHAPTER XVIII.

The wears sermon that Sunday bore
marked internal evidence of having
been freshly written. Jane Grand
knew nothing at all about good writing
or good preaching. and was indeed
quite incapable of judging Of the in
trinsic merit of any piece of intellectual
work whatsoever; but she knew that
this sermon was not taken from that
heap which furnish he'd the ordinary cut
and dried theological meat Of the peo-
ple of Chesterfield. and she felt that
her spirit answered and her heart ex-
banded rs she looked up in the Wears
face and listened to the Wears voice.
Probably she was the only person in
the church who understood Mr.. Follctt

A Fathers Lost Opportunity.

Charming, when a boy, heard DR..
Hopkins preach a strong sermon on
the Judgment" The boy went home.
thinking his father, who had heard
the same sermon, would help the boy
to apply it and thus make ready for
that awful scene. Instead his father
threw himself down leisurely and be-
gan to read a secular paper. The boy
said: Father does not believe in the.
sermon, I will not worry myself about
it," He thus turned away from the
plain teachings Of the Scripture and
became the leader Of New England
Unitarianism. "Oh, these susceptible.
plastic minds and hearts Of childhood"
writes w. J.. Mosier in the New York
Observer. "God help all of US who
have the responsibility of their
moulding and training to be prepared
for The discharge of that solemn duty"

-. Liberation.

A man went into a sculptor's studio
and his friend, the sculptor, said,
what do you see over in that cor
uer?" Nothing but an ugly rough
stone" "Ah," said the sculptor. II al
most forgot the stone. I see a bear-
tiful angel" Months passed by and
the friends again met in the studio.
and the sculptor once more directed
his friends attention to the corner.
The ugly stone was gone and there in
its place stood the beautiful angel
standing out in all its beauty and love-
illness. The sculptor had freed the
angel from the ugly block. Can the
Great Sculptor Jesus Christ do less
with the human soul?

Blessings Unrecognized.

Some one tells the story Of an Eng
Iish preacher who takes q hungry man
into a hall with plates laid for 1860
persons. Here are supplies of all
kinds in bountiful profusion. The man
would like to sit down ut n of these
plates.
"Ah" said his guide, would you be
thankful? Then you shall have for
your breakfast something quite as
good as anything here, only just wait
until I tell you something. You can't
have these, for they are the ghoss of
what you have already had. They are
the 365 breakfasts, the 365 dinners.
the 365 teas and the 365 suppers you
had last year. They make AGO in

HEAVENLY PEACE

From STRIFE Of tongues, in peaceful places
kneeling,
Discern Gods presence in the distant star
And feel His spirit thus to mine reveal

A Fathers boundless love and Heavens
gate ajar.
I love to breathe my longings to Him
there,
To tell to Him alone my spirits yearn-

To leave with Him the worry and the care,
And feel His promise sure the song re-
turning,
Thy Father loves to Lear and answer
earnest prayer"
Yet more than this I love, mid widest

OF life's wild whirlpool round my spirit
seething.
To know my Saviour passed this way be-
fore;
And feel His Spirit to my spirit breath.

wbalebone at $4,000 a Ton.

The price of whalebone this season
has already reached the record price
of $4,000 per ton. Owing to the great
majority of the American whaling fleet
being imprisoned in the Arctic ice.
stocks in America are said to be low,
forty-one tons being the total, accord
ing to one report. AS a consequence.
quotations here have ranged as high
as $4,000 a ton. On the other side OF
the Atlantic the stocks amount to 100
weight short Of seventeen tons, and
sellers refused to deal ut less than
$4,000 a ton. At this figure it is
said the Dundee whaling feet will coin
money this season.
