A. NEW YEARS THOUGHT.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart with all thy soul, and with all thy mind
him shalt thou and to him shalt thou
cleave."
What then will be the reward of faithful love
and service be? Or are working without the
hope of reward? To be pure and true, love
must be disinterested Granted. Yet, is there not
an exquisite Joy a keen incentive to further serv
ice in the encouragement which God in his in
finite goodness grants to use from time to time
and that in spite of all the imperfections of our
love and service? Why then, should we not look
forward to our great reward-Gods approval?
If wa truly love him, should not strive with
all our might for his final We'll done?" Surely it
is not wrong to look forward to the joy of that
assurance, even while are fully aware Of our
eaoming short of it. yet in best work; for thus

love Nxieh 1seeing the intention, gives us credit

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.

While New Year Is only an imaginary line drawn
through time to mark its divisions, it possesses
a sentiment which moves US all 1t marks a def
mite starting point in lives every year and we
take fresh hold upon our prospects and renew
our faith in ourselves and look out upon the com
ing year as upon new, fair field, with promise
of better things I do not much believe in formal
resolutions proclaimed loudly from the eminence
OF our vanity. The who, on New Years,
swears off,, his bad habits for a definite period
and notifies his friends and neighbors. is, from
my observation, only hypnotizing himself He
may honestly intend to stick to his good resoIu-
tons, and perhaps makes his announcement as q
sort OF mental and moral prop. But if he is in
deadly earnest he only needs to : promise allegi-
ance to God and himself. If he does the things
ne means to do his friends and nefehbors will
give MIN credit and If he fails they will not know
OF mis- broken vows. Reforms come from within
and deeds not words, prove a mans sincerity
The old year has been kindly one to the farm
ers OF America. They have prospered. and thew
nave made national advancement in social and
moral life, better methods of farming. and a
broader view of the field of endeavor have bean
among the achievements of the old year From
the year to come hope that every one of nc
may have greater prosperity, larger blessings
and better lives Ne''

"He Remembereth Our Frame"

No words in the Bible are sweeter
to faithful Christian, certain nights
when he comes to his evening prayer,
than these in one of the Psalms: He
knoweth our frame: He remembereth
that we are dust If we are living
faithfully and are striving to do our
best, and to do better each day, we
need never dread to tell our Master all
that we have done, even the worst. He
wants us to be very frank and very
honest with him. OF course he knows
all that we have done, but he wants
us to tell him all, keeping nothing
back We may come with the whole
story, even if it be a confession of
weakness, foolishness or sin. He Is
never severe with US, as some human
friends are, for he wants us never to
be afraid to come.-Rev. J. r. Miller,
D. D.

Had Been Lost Sight Of.

A man went into 4 shop in Harris
burg and told the proprietor that he
wanted to buy Dalmatian dog to take
abroad with him.
Certainly, SIR" said the assistant.
I've got the very thing"
In a quarter of an hour he brought
out the animal; the customer paid the
money and departed. Before his train
time, however, heavy shower fell.
The man returned with the dog in a
state of great indignation.
Look at him!" he cried. You told
me he was a Dalmatian. Give me my
money back. All his spots are washed
off in the rain"
The proprietor apologized.
It's all that stupid FOOLS mistake"
He called to his assistant.
James, did you sell this dog to this
gentleman"
Yes, sir"

yourself. Don't you know an umbrel

each side of the Bow river, that Dor
ton on the north bank being built on
the high bluffs which border the river.
To bridge the river on an incline to
the top of the bluff would have been
to neglect the portion of the city lying
at the foot of the bluff To make a.
deep cutting would have spoiled much
of the property. The problem was
solved by constructing a level bridge
across the river, and then gaining the
heights above by an inclined tunnel
