more pleasure, peace and happiness in
the religion you profess than there is in
the ways of the world If you cannot
do that you had better take in your sign.
The people of the world do not expect
to find in the religion of Jesus Christ
austerity and gloom, nor a system of
Druidism analogous to the dark ages. Z"
Neither do they expect to see His fol-
lowers going about clothed in sack
cloth and asnes" and protesting the as
ceticism of the monks of former day.
No; the world expects the followers of
the Lord to wear cheerful countenance
and to have happy disposition, full of
frank ingenuousness and harmless con-
viviality. Can you fill the bill brother?
Can you fill the bill sister? If, after
prayerful search of yourself, you find
you cannot, you had best go out into the
wood and commune with Nature, and
with Natures God Not in a pantheis-
tic sense, i. e, not believing that Nature
is God, but that God is God over Nature
as well as over all other parts of the
universe beside. You willfeel refreshed
by so doing and people will then think
you have "been with God and learned of
him.. That hard, cynical look and
frOwning manner will have disappeared
altogether You will feel better by doing
so, and the community will think better
of you when you cease to cast reprOach
upon the Church by bigotry, gloom and
insincere actions. We may be crude in
our knowledge, and mistaken in our
theology, but our idea of building up
church does not depend on the minister
alone, but upon the upright walk of its
members and their practical demonstra-
ton of the brotherhood of man.
2 The pretty weather of the past has in
deed been remarkable for the season,
and persons who have had outdoor work
to do and have not done it cannot blame
the weather for it. Yet we hear of a
farmer in Prime Hook Neck who has vet
thirty acres of corn, in coarse fodder, to
be husked. We think he is a candidate
for cold fingers.
A friend of ours has two pretty calen- !
lars in basso-relievO. He thinks so

We have been asked to saw something
ABOUT late attendance at church, and
more particularly by those who are
members and occupy an official capacity.

see members of church, and of a con-
gregation, enter church after the first

the responsive selection is being read,

connoisseurs. be there any present. But
1t IS said some persons do this on pur-
pose, to be 'seen of all men. We
frankly admit that some years ago there
was a young lady-she is married now =
VINO went to certain church on Sunday
mornings, and in walking up the aisle
put on all the swings and twists she
could. generally went to that church
on Sunday mornings to see her parade;
for we believed that she would sometime
break into, about the waist, and we
wanted to be there when the collapse
came. 1t used to be the habit with min
listers to wait from quarter of an hour
to half hour after the second ringing
OF the bell before commencing the SER
vices; but this custom has gone out of
vogue, and nowadays the minister is
in his pulpit and commences the service
when the bell ceases ringing the second
time. We shall always think minister
must feel humiliated to commence his
service to empty benches. But how else
is he going to do? If he should wait
until the tardy ones get there, that
would prOlOng the service and some one
would be grumbling about getting home
late for dinner. However, we think the
best way for the lights of the world
to do is to help their minister to do his
part by doing theirs. We knew a man
of this town-he is now dead-who was
always late at church. If the meeting
was to be held at a certain hour, he was
sure to be fifteen or twenty minutes be-
hind. 1t was a habit with him. We
would say unto our christian brethren
