Might Change His Mind

The marriage service had proceeded
without hitch SO far, but the re-
sponses proved a stumbling block.
Neither the groom nor his partner had
received much in the dedication"
line; so, when the parson in his most
dignified tone asked the usual uues-
ton, 'Wilt thou have this woman to
be they welded wife?' Jack immedi-
ately answered 81 'ull."
you must say, L will" corrected
the cleric, and asked the question over
again.
Il 'ull," responded Jack, more firmly
than ever.
The irate clergyman threatened to
stop the service but Sally broke in
quite savagely:
earn along wild We, mon; thee 'un
ave our Jack saying he won't in
minute or two wild We worryin'.''
The service was resumed.-Marin,

Look here, woman, can't you let

Il don't care cents for all the pa

an old suit and then armed himself
with the snow shovel and began work.
The storm had about ceased, and three

Man of the Future.

Of character, who is Gods good man, is

De Blois, Baptist, Chicago.
Punishment's Purpose.
The purpose Of punishment is not to
lnfiict an endless pain, but to awaken
the soul Of the offender to it's own folly.
It is just as much a manifestation Of
Gods paternal love and care as the
more pleasant experiences of life. Pun
ishment must be inflicted that is long
and severe, but underlying it is Gods
uncOnquerable purpose to save.-Rev.

The Future Life.
We must learn to trust. We lived
before we became conscious of it.
When we came into this world we
found ourselves in the hands Of low
ing, tender care. l do not believe that
a GOD who provides such a reception
for us as we had here will leave rs
without as good a reception when we
go away. All Of us have friends over
there. ! hope they know all about it
and are getting ready for us. l be
lieve, at any rate that the infinite ten
derness and care will guard us and
help us.-Rev DR.. Minot J. Savage,
Unitarian, New York.
Value of Belief In Personal Devils.
In the old days they believed in the
Bible teaching of a personal devil and
called sin by its real name. It was
customary to call attention to world
Illness and to the vanities of life, but
now there seems to be no boundary
line between the church and the world
If men could be persuaded that the
devil is as active and deceitfuI as ever
and that there are real kingdoms of
evil to guard against there would be
more earnest prayer and definite
preaching and the church would not be
so ineffective when the waves of evil
beat up against the hearts Of mankind
Rev. w. "A. Bartlett, Congregational
list, Chicago.

Human W eaIth.

The elements that enter into human
wealth are all of those elements that
render effective fertile and productive
human life. Human wealth is first Of
all something that is strictly personal.
1t cannot be held by a corporation or
even by a family. 1t is something
within the person. 1t is a feeling Of
satisfaction, of exultation, of delight
1t is made possible not by large pos
sessions, but by personal conditions, by
correct and close agreeable relation
ships. Wealth must be found, if at
all, in personal conditions that make
for the effectiveness of the moral per-
son. - Rev. 0. ]. Moore, Methodist,

How to Use the Bible,

The time is coming-may we hasten

open our ears to the present messages

Live Within Your Means.

The man who lives beyond his means
is not leading an honest life Live
within your income, no matter how
modest that income may be. Save up
something for a rainy day. This is
more easily done than you imagine.
Where there is will there is a way.
The wants Of nature are few and easily
supplied. Most of our wants are ar
tilcial and do not contribute to our
comfort. Sweeter to the palate is
bread and water in garnet than is
delicious feast to the spendthrift who
is tortured by the specter of the cred
itor knocking at his door. While the
insolvent debtor is a slave you will
possess free and independent spirit
and will enjoy the testimony of good
conscience.-Cardinal James Gibbons.

saves our social and business fabric
from destruction by the debauchery of
our increasing wealth, as was the case
with mighty and wealthy nations be-
fore the teaching Of Christ entered the

our cities, states and nations of. corrupt

that was manifest recently in New

together in counsel, declaring their one
