Be OF good cheer: 1 have overcome

That which thou myself sowest is

Out from warning cloudbursts trium-

how the smile OF God transforms the
world~ But through what awful
agonieS must He beam upon His own,
through what tragic mysteries of
death does He bring forth the multi
tudinous glory of life!
Here is a great law of life-a phase
of Christian philosophy W h C h

man and continues, since Calvary, to
this day-and onto the end. Hap
py are the hearts that can suffer with
Him and be glorified together
day by day.
Unfortunately we groan and grind

more and more magnify our pains
and passions, till they come TO cur

In the pioneer days in the Ohio

rich land, spread a broad, sweet
streak of sunshine all along his hum

tally mangled by wild team he
rushed into the street TO stop, said TO
the moaning minister, "Oh, it's all
right-that poor boy in the wagon

And the smile he had lived seemed

Most of our rich men work very hard
not always because they want to, but
in many instances because they have
to. The husbandry of big estate in
itself may be a task for the whole Of
the time and thought, not of one man,
but of several. As a general thing it
is fair to say that our only man Of
leisure is the tramp. The social pariah,
the mutineer against the rule of work.
is the only one who can be sure of
care free. sybaritic existence, and even
he lives in constant danger of rock salt
from the farmers gun or the onslaught
of the watchdog around the corner as
the hobo knocks at the kitchen door
or pauses at the water trough to drink.
The poor tramp is certainly a more
frequent social phenomenon than the
rich one.-Philadelph Ledger.

THE FIRST ASTOR.
A Daring and ResourcefuI Operator In
the Fur Trade.


the Fur Trade.
John Jacob Astor was born in the lit
tie village of Waldorf, in Germany, in
1853, just as France at the close of
the Seven Years war was ceding
Canada to England. He sailed TO our
side of the Atlantic in 1888, when
George III. in the treaty of Paris was
acknowledging our independence and
when the merchants Of Montreal were
establishing the Northwest company.
He became a fur dealer, gradually
gained control of the trade south Of
Lakes Huron and Superior, except
that which was in the hands Of the
Mackinaw company. and won a repu-
tation as a daring and resourceful op-
orator which made his name known
in Montreal, st. Louis. London and
Canton.
He had a dozen vessels afloat, repre-
senting a capital of $1.000,0O0. carry
ing furs to England and China in
1900, and at the time that the pur-
chase of Louisiana in 1903 pushed our
boundary to the Rocky mountains he
was the wealthiest and most success
full merchant in the United States.-

Judge John Gibbons of the Chicago
Circuit Court has announced that never
again will be perform marriage cere-
mony. 81 have two reasons" said the
aged jurist zone is that marriage be-
longs TO the church. Marriages per-
formed outside the Sanctity of church
walls furnish rs per cent of our divorces.
Another is that am weary of all this
turmoil and trouble which the daily
grind of divorce cases has unfolded 10
me. No Judge or jurist can stlnd on the
bench from which he may some day
grant divorce to one of the parties 10 a
marriage and lend the proper Sancity TO
marriage ceremony. If every marriage
were performed with church rites the
divorce evil would become an occasion
al marital tragedy instead of a national
disease"
The good Judge is only partially right.
He will never be wholly right until the
clergy band together and refuse to re.
marry divorced men or women. AT the
present time any divorced person, no
matter for what cause the divorce was
granted, would have no difficulty in
finding a minister of the gospel to per
form the marriage ceremony.
