heard you complain that God is not willing to place the hands of ordna- ton and consecration upon your head now for the glorious work of the gos- pei if you are only willing to surrender your hearts to him. l care not what your past has been. I care not whether you have sinned seventy times seven. Though your sins are as scarlet. yet if you will come to him they will be- come whiter than snow. Though they are like crimson. yet they shall be- come white as wool Oh, my brother, with so many of your gospel oppor- tunities wasted will you not make your last days your best days? VIII you not pray that the eventide of your life may shine with the golden sunset of Gods smile of benediction?
 Today l have been telling you about your silences. For years you have been complaining that you could not do this. that and the other thing. To- day I have been telling you few things that you could do if you only wanted to do them. The mercies of God about you are infinite. The great fields of the sweet scented clover tops of his love are spread out before you. The Bethlehem manager is filled to over flowing with the divine sacrifice. Oh. hungry. starving sinner, will you not come 10 the cross today and eat your fill? 'Ho, every one that thirsteth. come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money. come ye, buy and eat. Yea. come, buy wine and milk without money and without price,

 Then the poor and the sick-oh, how many there arc. And the young people being led forth into life of sin-you sec them all around you. Then the old folks how they would love to have us come and visit them and read to them. Yes, the opportunities are all about us for doing good. You have only to stretch forth your hands to touch them. Are we so happy so contented, so selfish, that We help not one about us? Charles Ddr- win. the great physicist, tells us that there Is a degeneracX which often follows great prosperity Many years ago quite a number of bee swarms were carried to the island of Barbados, in the West h. dies At first they went diligently to work to gather honey to prepare for the com ing winters. But when those bees found that they were In a land of perpetual summer they ceased to gather money. Instead they spent most of their time ny ing around, stinglng the natives. So l sometimes think it is with some of Us. We have what can be called spiritual de- generacy God has surrounded us with 80 many blessings that instead of working for his glory and for the good of our rel low men we spend most of our time in living for self. We thrust the sting when we should be gathering the sweetness or the gospel life to give out again to stsrV- ing men, Are we not standing knee deep amid the clover tops of multitudinous op- portunities which we can use for the good of those who have never learned to honor the name of our Christ?

PASSING OF "LAGNAPPE."


 By agreement among the retail deal CTS of New Orleans, says a writer In the New York Evening Post, the time honored institution of "lagnappe' has been abolished since the beginning of the new year. The word means some thing given lon the side," gratis, to customer. It comes from the Spanish American word napa, which means ito boot"
 No matter how sman the purchase, something had to be added flor lag nappe." Generally this something was small delicacy-a piece of candy, for example. Increasing competition and never-decreasing greed made the shopkeepers devise all sorts of schemes for keeping up the custom with the smallest possible cost.
 The children, who have been eager to run errands In the past just for the sake of the reward found in lagnappe, suffered from this deterioration of the custom to such an extent that the board of health finally had to interfere. And 1t was at the instance of the au- thorities that the retail dealers at last decided to take the revolutionary step of abolishlng lagnappe entirely.
 Complaints have already been heard from numerous mothers that hereafter 1t will be very hard to get the children to do the errand-running. But that the change Is for the better, no sensible person will be likely to doubt
 The custom thus wiped out was pc culiar to New Orleans only through. its particular form and by reason of the firmness with which 1t was established as an undeniable right. Department stores which give trading stamps are simply doing In another way what the merchants of New Orleans have been doing for more than a century.
 The same cus,om was common In northern Europe as late as the seven ties. It dates back to the days of plain barter, when 1t served as sop to the feelings of the party who had the los ing end of a trade.

Lives the Trolley Costs.

If along every mile of street railway track In the United States headstone were raised for every death by accl- dent the routes We daily travel would resemble one long-drawn-out cemetery.
 Within the limits of greater New York the total number killed last year rose to 227. For every person killed number are Injured. some of them crippled for life. That this slaughter and maiming Is crlmlnally needless Is sufficiently attested by a single fact:
 In all London In the last year of record (1903) the total number killed was ten.
 According to the royal traffic com. mission the tram cars of London for 1903 carried 405,O79,2O3 passengers. The total traffic of greater New York last year was little over HOO 900 900 passengers carried. These figures, how ever, include subway and elevated traf- fic, while the records of London do not But even on the basis of a con- parison of traffic the number killed In London Is equivalent to about twenty seven, against about 227 for greater New York. And this Is no exceptional instance.
 What Is true of New York Is true of almost every other large city in America. What Is true of London is true of almost every other large city in Europe.-Eyerybody's Magazine.

Death Valley, which Is famous for many things besides its name, has long been heralded as containing the lowest spot of dry land In the United States.
 The United States geological survey has just been computing its depth ac- curately by means of spirit level and the results show that until the Salton Sink was turned into the Salton Sea by the overflow of the Colorado River, Death Valley was not entitled to the distinction. Its lowest point Is 276 feet below sea level, while the Salton Sink had one spot 2S7 feet below. The final computations have not been made, but the error in the case of the Death Val. ley measurement will not be over three feet at the outside. It Is an interest ing fact that within seyenty-five miles of this extreme low land there is to

Until man got to work improving things on earth there was no such thing as noise. The sound of the storm, of the flood and the tide, the lowing of herds and the call of beast to beast was mu- sic to the ear. But civilization Is hor- TOT Of entrusted sounds. Noise, noise !, The man that makes the most noise is the only one heard and the city that makes the most noise and dirt has pre- cedence among Its fellows. Whatever does the ear the most violence seems to be most prized. The plea of the pro- testing nerves should be needed.

President Eliot of Harvard College does not often speak to girls. At a re- cent opening of a new art gallery at Abbot Academy at Andover, Massachu- setts, he gave the address to the assem- bled young women. His subject was ''The Durable Satisfactions of Life" It
 is interesting to note that he spoke on similar topic when he welcomed the freshmen to Harvard a year ago. He apparently thinks the desirable posses sions in this world are much the same for girls as for boys. He puts first on his list of fundamental satisfactions, health, especially that soundness of the nervous system which enables one to bear stress and fatigue, and which lends courage for the battle of life.- Next to health, he ranks the privilege of good intellectual training, with the requirement of the power of concen- tration, and its tendency to bring all the faculties and abilities of woman into subjection to her will. He sets high among the products of education the skill of the senses. The eye, the ear and the hand are developed by practice. For women, especially, the enrichment and training of the senses conduce to new delight in beauty. Whether In nature or in art, the train ed mind discerns charms and secrets invisible to the untrained one, The President of Harvard University has not lost his taste for simple joys, or his enthusiasm for his native country scenes. "What happiness" he ex- claims, Ito live in a farmhouse in New England where the elms overshadow the house and the naples are planted along the driveway" He adds as the climax to his list of durable satisfac- tions" "the joys, hopes, anxieties, fears and blessings of the home"-these all crowned and glorlfied by the religion of service. Surely 1t is noble cato- logue of the lasting joys of woman's life-health, courage, intellectual train- ing, a keen sense for beauty, the love of home, and zeal for service. Can 1t be a mere accident that great wealth cannot buy one of these "durable satis- factions of lifef"
