the letter. which was of an exraor
binary character, explained.
Last year a Cheadle cab proprietor,
named Arthur Morrell, met Elizabeth
Ann Rhodes, an Ashton-under-Lyne
mill forewoman. who Is now 20 years
old, at wedding party.
He apparently fell in love and wrote
her many letters and post cards. In
February last they became engaged.
and the wedding was to have taken
place In September, but the cab pro-
prietor wrote asking the young woman
to 'let him free" as their social con-
ditions were not quite equal"
The young woman's father in reply
wrote the letter, which was read in
court:
when you go to church and sing
your praise try to think Of the lass
you have now spurned and left with a
broken heart.
When you uplift your voice IN
prayer, may the heaven be as brass.
May God repay thee for what thou
hast done"
Then followed 1000 dots and these
words
These are not kisses, but tears
from a mothers and daughters hearts,
which before they knew you never had
a care.
May you for every tear that falls
and every throb in their hearts repent
1t millions and millions Of times over
and over again, and every time you
look at a lass or hear the church bells
chime at night when you go to sleep.
and at morn when you awake, may
you think Of this letter and lass with
a broken heart

ERROR OF THE INNOCENT.

Col. George Harvey the famous
New York journalist. discussed at a
recent dinner his views about the
dieting Of fat husbands.
There are too many fat husbands,
! maintain It stoutly," he said. IF the
weight Of these men were brought
down to the right standard they and
their wives would be happier Diets

Col. Harvey smiled.
fThe diet need not be unsavory,7 he
resumed; and speaking Of unsavory
things, 7 recall a certain greenhorn
cook. This greenhorn cook lived with
one of the leading families Of my ma
tive Peacham. On Christmas day, as
soon as the burning Christmas pud-
ding had been portioned out, a general
cry of horror rose from the Christmas
feasters. and the cook was summoned
from the kitchen.
Martha, said the mistress sternly,
what on earth have you done to this

Martha shook her head in bewil-
dered and hurt innocence.
Why, nothin mum, said she;

There is not SO much objection to
lying as there is to lack of art in
the telling Of d lie. 1t Is no use to tell
a lie unless. you are going to ac-
complish your purpose. Lies can do
the work whether they are discovered
or not. 1t is all in the manner Of tell
ing them. In the first place never tell
lie when the truth will do just as
we'll This serves to establish your
reputation and gives your lies a stand
ing they could not otherwise gain.
Never tell a big lie to gain small
object, nor tell little lie to gain
big object Let all your lies be big
and lusty fellows, and let them have
some big business in hand These two
rules are really imperative If you ex-
peet to become a successful and pro-
ficient liar. Little lies for little things
are not worth telling.
Finally, always have the courage Of
your lies. Stick to EN-. If you are
not brave enough to stand by your
own lies, why send them out only to
be betrayed? A man is the rankest
sort of a coward that refuses to give
his lie any support when it crawls
back to him from the buffetings, beat
ings and rough usage of the populace.
Brace it up with manufactured cor
roboratiye evidence and artificial con-
firmation and send 1t out again re-
newed in spirit and vigor.-Washing

benoldi ] purpose 70 puiid an
house unto the name Of the
Lord my God, as the lord spake
unto David my father, saying,
Thy son, whom will set upon
thy throne in thy room, shall
build an house unSo my name."
! The high and noble ambition Of
David, the father. to find realiza-
tion IN the wiling service Of
Solomon the son.
It is splendid thing for a fa-
ther TO have visions Of noble, ex-
alted service which find their
realization in the son. What
greater legacy could a father
leave than the commission to
she discharge Of 4 great mis-
sion2
II is a grand thing to find a
son whose fiiiaI love and ohe-
dience holds him eteadfast to
the working out Of the fathers
will. How better could the son
display the true qualities Of SON
ship than In purposlng TO con-
summate the great work for
which the father had planned7
IN this respect Solomon was
striking type Of the Christ,
who came deIighting to do the
will Of the Father who had sent
him. The one plan Of his life
was the contamination Of the
supreme plan Of salvation, pur-
. posed in the heart Of God from
! the beginning.
If Solomon was to build a tenn,
! pie of wood and stone for the
dwelling place Of God, Christ
7 was to build 4 temple, not made
. with hands, eternal in the
heavens. His task was the
, transforming Of the human life
into the temple beautiful for the
indweIllng Of the blessed Para
clete, the holy representative Of
both God the Father and God
the Son.
"There was neither hammer
nor ak nor any tool Of iron
heard In the house. while Il was
building. THUS reverently did
the building Of Gods house pro-
\ ceed. All the material was
brought to the temple site COM
pletely fitted and finished, SO
that all that was necessary was
the placing Of stone upon stone,
and beam upon beam, each fit
ting perfectly into its place.
May we not gather from this
the inspiring, helpful thought
that W. who are being buIided
as living stones into Gods tenn
pie are being shaped and fash
Ioned and prepared to fit per-
fectly into the completed struc-
ture when all the parts are at
last assembled. Here in this
life we know not what niche we
are to fiIl, that remains to be
revealed. But like the stone in
the quarry far below the temple
site was hewn and smoothed
and arooved ready to find it's
place at last in the splendid tenn
pie which was to be reared, SO
we, here In the earthly pilgrim
age, are receiving that dlscl-
pline which shall knock off the
sharp corners, and smooth the
rough surfaces and groove the
life with the pattern Of Gods
will 50 as to at last make Il TT
Into lts place In the completed
temple.
