Sunday Closing.

1t Ia a commendable thing that almost every
CITY, In which the question of closing the post
oihce on Sunday has been raised. has decided
Overwhelmingly in favor of the closing. 1t Is to
thC credit of the people that the statistics Sc
cured by OFFICIALS show that only per cent.
oil the population of Il city calls for mail on
the sabbath; that only one-haf of this per
cent actually gets mall and that SO per cent.
or the remaining one-half per cent are young
men and girls who make the post-ofhce their
rer devious
Reports have been made from such great
cities as New York. Chicago San Francisco,
Washington. Baltimore Denver, Detroit Gin
cinnati, Portland. Los Angeles, Omaha and Buff
falo and the post offices in these cities will be
closed and, in fact no adverse report has yet
come from~any city OF the Union. That Ia a
hne showing for the business men of the coun-
try T. Is the proper and assuring attitude of a
Christian country, and a refutation of the sug-
g.slion or a decreasing regard for the Sabbath.

My Soul In Dreams Seek Thee.

My soul in dreams seek thee
Forgetful of the weary haste
Lost In sweet reverie.
Unmindful Of the gloomy care
That throngs likes lowering sky
Remembering hut / seek thee whera.
The lips will form no sigh
I not for the laurels bright
For which men vainly toll
For though they wreathe the brow to-nirbt
The conquering heart will spoil
II is enough for me to dream
That thou may be mine
However dark the future seem
My soul shall still seek thine
Shall leave this mortal house awhile
In mystic dreamland roam
To catch thy happy loving smile
That brings nearer Home
Over the intervening space
Ir dreams / follow thee
And through the tract Of time trace
Thy soul where'er II be
