Hard luck and lack of early train

game of baseball to Oshkosh on the

The Moon and the Comet.

The moon and the comet both pulled
off performance in the heavens Mon
day night. The moon went into total
eclipse just to let the comet show itself
in all its beauty, which it proceeded to
do do-tail and all. The comet had a
brand new tail for the occasion and
certainly showed it to good advantage.
Only once in centuries will the people
of this earth have the opportunity to
see such sight as they saw Monday
night As the full moon was gradually
changed from perfect globe of silver
to dim copper colored ball the comet
became brighter and brighter until it
shown forth in all it beauty, shooting
its long tail upward like a powerful
searchlight. 1t was a magnificent
sight and one that will never be for
gotten by all who saw it and one that
the inhabitants of this earth will never
see again.

FROM THE BREAD LINE.
How One Man Rose to Be a Help
to His Fellows.

Nv" VIC WAN ttOsc TO DC f1elp
to His Fellows.
A man up in Fall River, Mass,
who once stood hopelessly night after
night in the bread line in lower
Broadway, has very nearly scored
triumph in his efforts to help those as
nearly down and out" now as he was
once. He is Robert w. Crawford,
superintendent of the Rescue mission
In Fall River, who has been called
graduate" of the bread line. When
he was in that hard school he learned
that all who went there were not
"bums" who would not work II work
ere given them on a silver platter.
He learned that there often comes to
an honest man. seeking work in a
strange city, time when his last pen
ny Is gone, when the last stitch OF
clothing in keeping with decency has
been pawned, when hunger gnaws at
the vitals, and the heart sinks with
something like despair. He learned
Ialso in this hard school OF expert
'ence that two or three days OF work,
with good food and a small wage
however small-were like the light OF
heaven to such man.
When Crawford got out of this
school by dint of more pluck and per-
severance than some men have he
went to Fall River and opened a 1T
tie building. calling 1t mission. and
got together enough money to buy
horses and wagon. Then he went
ont, and he knew where to go, and
found some men who looking for work
among the mills there. had struck
rock bottom just as he had in New
York, and put them to work hauling
giving them food and clothing and 81
a week. Almost without knowing II,
this bread line graduate" had made
a great step forward in constructive
philanthropy. He helped men with
out pauperizing or humiliating them
and left them better of than when
he found them. His work has now out
grown his little building. he is try
ing to get larger one. and the peo
pie OF Fall River, from the mayor
down. are behind him.-New York

A STRANGE ANIMAL.

am little boy, eight years old, and
thought would write little letter.
About one month ago I and some
other little friends were playing on
the old fort green. We were playing
hide-and-go-seek. Two or three of us
were hiding In tent down by the
road. when suddenly one Of the boys
said; "Look over the hill? Isn't
that a giraffe?" We all looked. We
all thought It was giraffe, so we
went up to the hill. The hill was a
piece Of land going up higher than
the level earth. When we got up the
hill, what do you think we found the
animal was? A leopard? No. A
goat? No. A calf? No. Well, II
was little deer. The people were
feeding II crackers. There was a lit
tie boy, with white, curly hair. A
woman was trying to take a picture
OF him and the deer, but she could
not; the deer walked around too
much. But some time afterward she
did. I walked up to the deer to pet
II, but instead OF petting the deer I
got some saddening hits on my head.
Next time went down. two or three
days afterward, It gave me some
more. So gave II some candy. and I
don't think It will hit me any more

Spiritual Cripples.

Looking abroad among Christians,
how many evidences do we meet with
of general shortcomings? Some seem
without arms; they never help anyone
over rugged places in life. Some seem
without feet; they never go an inch
out of their way to serve others. Some
seem voiceless, they never, even by
word, encourage anyone who is cast
down. Some seem deaf; they never
listen to the voice of suffering. Some
seem without hearts; they do not
seem to know what sympathy and
generous feelings are. What an ap-
pearance a procession Of such charac-
ters would make If they could be seen
as they are in public streets. Many
seem to have no ears, and the Saviour
might we'll exclalm, HE that hath
ears to hear let him hear" - The
Christian.

Must Kneel to See Glory.

1t is said that there is bust of our
Lord in a Roman Catholic chapel on
the Continent, before which stool is
placed. that the beholder may kneel
and look. To the one who Is standing
up the bust has no beauty. 1t is es-
sential to kneel in order to see the
glory and beauty of the countenance.
So, as long as we stand in self-satis-
faction we see no beauty in Christ,
but the moment there is humbling of
soul before God on account of sin,
then we behold a worth of excellence
we did not see before in Christ

Not a Scientific Question.

Admitting mans free determina-
tions in his moral acts, it will not do
to say that God governs man alto-
gether by general and permanent
laws; for that would be to ignore and
abolish liberty as part of mans
life; 1. e., to ignore and mutilate the
work OF God. Man determines freely,
and so effectuates, in his own proper
life, events which are not the result
OF general laws exterior to himself.
Divine providence takes cognizance
or human liberty. 1t does not man.
age men as 1t does the stars of heaven
and the waves of the ocean, which
neither think nor will. . 1t has differ
ent relations with man and with ma
ture, and different mode of acting
upon them.
The Christian doctrine of provi-
dence represents God as always pres
ent and accessible to men, as the fa-
ther is to the child. 1t exhorts, en-
courages, invites men to pray to God
and trust in Him. 1t reserves to God
absolutely the answer to prayer. He
bestows or denies. We may not see
Into His reasons, for Goods ways are
not our ways" But yet with prayer
without ceasing" the Christian doc
trine always connects hope; for
nothing is impossible with God"
The Christian doctrine of provi-
dence is in full and intimate harmony
with the nature of man. In recog-
nizing his liberty it does homage to
his greatness; in giving to him access
to God in prayer it provides for his
weakness. AS question of science,
1t leaves the mystery es one incapable
of solution; but in actual life and ex-
perience 1t resolves the problem of
natural religion which burdens the
soul.-Guizot.

Neglect of Docfrinr.

The chaotic and rootless characters
of current religious opinion is mainly
responsible for the welcome given to
teaching which destroys New Testa-
ment Christianity. 1t would not have
been possible in the days of our faith
ers, when theology was really studied
and preached, for the nebulous pa
ganism. now airing itself In so many
Christian churches, to have disguised
Its real character. The day has passed
for temporizing with the cultured hu,
mantsm-earnest. graceful and opti,
mistic-which palliates sin, glorifies
man and makes our Lord mere pro,
phet and martyr. = London Sunday
