Some one has compared the human
body to marble statue exposed for years
TO the raging storms, weather-beaten and
weather-stained, yet still shapely and
beautiful. Certain it is that the human
body is about the worst abused thing in
existence. Men smoke it, and stuff it,
and drug it, and expose it, and besmirch
it, and in a thousand other ways bemean
it, but still it retains grace and dignity
superior to anything else on earth, and
remains "the human form divine" How
beautiful must the human body have been
when it first came from the hand of the
Creator, and how glorious will it be when
it is TRANSPORTED and made ready for the
heavenly home! Nor will God hold him
guiltless in the day of final account who
does aught to injure or defle this noblest
piece of his handiwork.

Gov. Hughes, of New York, has an
nounced that with the expiration of his
present term he will retire to private life
and resume his law practice This vii
be distinct loss, not only to New York,
but to the nation. We doubt if the people
will let him retire. Men of his 6rmness,
probity Of character, and brilliant ability
are TOO uncommon to pass easily out Of
the public notice Not the least Of Mr.
Hughes recommendations is the fact that
his father was q Baptist minister.

THE TRUE MARK OF RELIGION


Religion is always known by the mark
of unselfshness. When ones thoughts
and affections center upon self, it is easy
proof of the lack of true religion, which
is centrifugal, never centripetal. mo man
liveth unto himself" No man has rights
within himself, independently of his
brother man. No matter how well ones
conscience approves ones own acts, the
final judgment will rest upon whether his
acts were a help or hinderance to others.
In the foreground, as the measure and
test of my conduct, intemperance, and all
other matters, stand my weak brother"
What | eat and drink and do or do not
will be Judged by its influence upon that
weak soul, who seeing my example, is
helping or hurt by it. If one says ne
can drink or smoke or dance or attend
the theatre or indulge in other matters of
question with good conscience toward
God, must ask if all who follow the ex-
ample can do likewise, with the conscience
unharmed.- Selected.
