SUNDAY MORNING TALK.
HAS THE AGE OF MIRACLES
 PASSED?

Some people believe that miracles never happened. Some believe that miracles once happened but gradually or suddenly ceased to happen. Some believe that miracles happened in the past, are happening today and will happen in the future. It is an inter- esting subject on which to speculate. The indications are that 1t is bound to be discussed vigorously during the next ten years.
 As in all animated debates much depends on your definition. If you start with the dogmatic definition that a miracle is an event contrary to na- lures laws you are likely to draw from the premise certain conclusions. But if your idea is that a miracle is a suspension of certain ordinary meth ods of natures working through the operation of a higher and possibly not yet fully understood law. of nature, then you may find a place in your philosophy for miracle.
 In our day we have come to put high valuation upon the uniformity of the natural order Science then becomes possible, for science is the orderly arrangement and correlation of ascertained and verified facts. We are all glad to live in world in which the majesty of the natural order shines out so impressively. We should not care to live in a happy-go- lucky universe. It would embarrass us greatly if the sun now and then took a fancy to rise in the west, or the mort hstar shifted it's position occas- ionally to any part of the heavens which it took g. notion to visit. If we should throw an ax into the water and it should float instead of sink we should feel that there was something uncanny and "spooky'' about such a phenomenon. All our cogling and go- ing in the world, our buying and sell ing, our planting and harvesting, our work and play, proceed on the as- sumption that cause produces effect. that nature may be relied on to do as it has done for uncounted generations of men.
 And yet our modern respect for law and order should not make us intel lectually arrogant, as though we had discovered all the secrets of the uni verse. Are not the most marvellous things happening right before our own

 In political controversies of this kind, warm comments are usually made. and in the midst of the excite ment a few things are likely to be said that are not so. When the furore is over experienced men wake up then rest, forget and forgive, and resume their good nature. We have here an exception, and it will be likely to be regarded with the lax sympathy which it merits.
 No one has suffered extremely and no one but MT. Egbert will take a $25,000 view of the damages. If all men under equal provocation appealed to the courts for damages, the courts would have twice as many cases upon the docket as at present. Let us have peace is a good motto

HE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
A REGENERATION


 The plaintive notes seemed like spir- it's of another world, softly mourning an eternal sorrow and sechoing 1t on and on to infnity. There was a sad sweetness in the sound that sank in to the hungry soul of the listener and held her in it's grasp. It was the whispered farewell of vanishing past that took with 1t all that was dear to her.
 Gradually the tremulous notes deep ened into a solemn plea, as though the faint echoes had been welded into chorusing prayer divinely directed to touch into life the deadened chords of her inner nature. Each note, drawn full by the master hand of genius, brought direct to her the earnest of a warning that halted her involuntar- fly before the closed door, Each res onant tone yelled in it's solemn invo- cation a prophecy of a future renorse and quickened the growiro respon- siveness of her scared heart A pleading note entered into the calm solemnfty of the music coloring the harmony with strain of human anguish that flashed it's appeal to the sufferer outside. It was now the lover who spoke in the passionate whispered murmurings that lulled her soul to temporary oblivion and attuned the dissonant. dangling chords of her heart to long-forgotten melody. The tense clutch of her fingers frightened on the railing; her bosom heaved; a growing life with its promise stole into her veins and struggled with the sordid stupor.
 The tempo of the music sped faster and faster, making the particles of the air ring with a poignant harmony which gathered a twofold force from her emotion. The echoes, the pulsa- tions, the faint murmuTings grew un- til with an overwhelming burst of melody, the whole swelled to a mighty heart throb which brought a flood of joyous tears to her eyes. She sank to her knees and laid her head against the sleeves of her faded waist. T can't" she sobbed, brokenly. q can t."-Boston Post.

A Golf Story.

place between four prominent profes- sionals in the west of England some trainers. who had been in the habit of galloping their horses over parts of the links came on to the course.
 By way of inducing the men to take an interest in the game, and so keep the horses as much off the course as possible, the club officials invited some of them to watch the play. They con- scented.
 After they had watched the game for some time one of them was asked his opinion of golf.
 Well" he replied, 'tafter seeing some of you play your approach strokes and the number of divots you remove, what puzzles me is why you should com plain about the damage done by our horses ?'-Strand.

A DAB AT PIE.


 announces that pie never developed noble character. Why this announce ment? Did any one ever claim that pie did have this effect upon the ris- ing generation ?-Newburyport News.
 If there is anything ignoble about pie, why didn't these ladies point out what 1t is? There Is no evidence that Solomon did not love pie. The person who made the first pie was a genius, while the concocter of the modern pie was no less. A proverb several hun dred years old says, He had his fng- CT in the pie when he burned his nail off," This must have been when the pie first began to hint that it should be eaten with fork, and just see how stupid man was, for it was cen turies before he recognized the risk he took of enlarging his mouth by the careless use of the knife. St. Paul never condemned pie in his letters to the Ephesians. Perhaps the proverb, "A good thing Is soon snatched up," would never have dawned on the mind of man if.ito had not been for pie. We cannot tell, of course, wheth- CT pie developed the cook, or the cook developed the pie. If the pie developed the cook, one noble character must be set off to it's credit. The utility of pie has been recognized by it's worst enemies, who say that 1t promotes in- digestion, and is help to the doc tors. How did it ever get into pi-e-ty if it is so awful bad? If pie never developed a noble character it has brought out sterling pie-knives. Good pie never gets into jail but is always on hand at church suppers. It doesn't look as if pie is half as black as it is painted.

eyes? Flying through the air would have been to our grandfather an inn possible fact. But in the course of a few decades that may be familiar and frequently employed mode of To- comotion.
 We have not yet exhausted the mar vels that accompany the expanding life of man and the constantly un- folding universe of God. For when you once admit the being of God you open the door for the possibility of what we call miracle. Immanent as he is in his creation he is not so en- meshed in it that he cannot employ the unusual and the unfamiliar, not arbitrarily of course, not fantastically, but to serve the ends of his own gra- cious thought for men. Here is an express train sweeping through the country. Never before has it stopped half way through a certain stretch of farm lands, but one day the whistle suddenly toots, the brakes are sharply applied and the great transcontinental express comes to halt miles from any regular station. Why? A baby happened to be playing on the tracks and the man at the throttle was father.
 So because God is the father of all men he may suspend a certain regular order for the sake of a child or a group of his children. And if Christ were a chosen representative of God endowed with exceptional powers, he might produce certain exceptional ef- fects, not that he might secure there by bread and homage and power but that men might be cured of their dis ease, have their hunger satisfied and moral natures renewed.

A good many persons do not real ize how they may sin against them selves as well as against their neigh bor. Violating the laws of ones be- ing and becoming an invalid is as much of a sin as pronfanity or sense- less prayer, and intolerance of a neigh Dor is no less a sin than slandering him. A dolt cannot live an orderly life. It takes thought and energy to live right It takes a we'll balanced mind. A man may be famous schol- ar and suffer from his total ignor- ance of the simplest rules of living: and he may be a model of piety in his relations to others and not know how to treat himself right Ignor- ance is not condemned to dwell in darkness. for 1t is daily eound in minds supposed to be illuminated. The most important learning is that which pro- notes our physical as well as mental weIl-being. Representation is the first law of nature, and yet how little the average man knows or cares about the laws of health.
 It is not polite for us to look each other in the eye, that is glaring.
