Every national campaign in this
country differs to a marked extent from
all other campaigns that have preceded
it, but the campaign of this year is be-

campaign more quiet and serene than

today. OF course. the leaders are going
through the motions of a campaign,

extent. depending more on the news

platform oratory and the distribution

stead of waiting to be told what to do.

A SATURDAY SERMON.

But we have a custom. st. John xviii:S9.
Some people seem to expect to ac-
quire all their good habits in their Sec
ond childhood. They appear to regard
good habits as fitting them for heaven
rather than for this life on earth. But
let's stop a minute or two and think
about habit. 1t is worth while. For
there is no greater, more constant,
more insistent force in any mans or
woman's life than the force of habit,
of innumerable little habits.
Not considering at all the common
bad habits think of the thousand
and one little habits that determine
your every thought and act. Do you
know that in the commonest things you
are a slave to habits that you never
suspect? Almost every move In thu
process of the mornings dressing, for
instance, is involuntary and calls for
no conscious thought. Many a morn
ing your mind is absorbed in mapping
out a days work. while habit is wash
ing and dressing you.
Habit accustoms us to doing most of
the average things in particular ways,
and we consciously turn the mind to
them only when they chance to be done
differently. Any one who stops to think
about 1t can easily see that innumera-
BILE little habits make up very large
part of our lives. We think along the
lines worn smooth by habit, as we'll
as act.
Not an impression, not an emotion,
not an opinion, not a resolution, not
an action is possible to us that is not
Influenced. colored and directed by
fixed conditions within ourselves-hab-
it. 1t is indeed we'll worth while to
carefully consider the host of little hab-
it's that hide themselves in the most
secret cells of both brain and muscle.
None of them is too small not to be
worth attention. Bad habits are like
the little threads with which the weak
Lilliputians bound the strong CULVER
in helplessness. Good habits. are like
the well-made harness, enabling us to
do our work in the world with less
friction and waste of energy.
Habits we cannot avoid. Nor can We
escape being controlled by them. But
we have free choice between the habits
that are good and helpful and the hab-
its that are bad and harmful.

1t takes a great deal of bravery to
fall in love with a school teacher,
and a great deal more to write a let
ter to her.
Parents are very much afraid of
anything happening at school to take
the minds of their children off their
studies. They never were on.
After a girl has graduated. she
thinks the essence of polite manners
is to hear some one pronounce incor-
rectly a word she knows by heart
and never smile.
THAT fellow said a man on the
streets the other day, looks as If his
wife keeps a cow" The man said he
could not explain why, but he could
tell a man whose wife kept a COW as
far as he could see him.
When a boy of the family does not
appear at the dinner table, it is a
sign he is eating at a neighbours or
about to go, and his sisters rush out
to get him, fearing he will disgrace
the family.
An Atchison woman hit on the plan
of inviting people she did not like

Lent, as her sacrifice. She felt very
religious about it, until she learned
that her guests attended as a sacrifice.

", has been solved. 1t was plain when
the discovery was made. that a strange
romance would be disclosed when the
identity of the couple was ascertained.
But what was the romance to be? The
question probably came to the mind of
every reader of the news item which
was printed throughout the country and
excited his interest. for 1t was evident
that the couple had been murdered or
had committed suicide. Each theory
concerning their death probably found
believers.
The romance has been disclosed. 1t
is the romance of a wife's love for her
husband. He had long been i'll. until
their savings had been exhausted, and
she had worked for the support of the
family. And when, at last, physicians
told him he had not long to live they

North Africa, they crossed from Dover
