BY CHAS. w. MILLER.

(Copyflghted) This catechism presents the doc urine of Love and Helpfulness toward all men, urging them to unite with each other in benevolent enterprises and to show practical kindness in ev- cry form of need. This is the old l time religion, found in the Holy Bible, | Gods inestimable gift to man for his faith and practice-for exemplifica- tion in everyday life.
 As Chancellor Kent wrote: "The general diffusion of the Bible is the most effectual way to civilize and humanize mankind; to purify and ex- alt the geenral system of public mor- als; to give efficacy to the just pre- cepts of international and municipal law; to enforce the observance of prudence, temperance, justice, and for titude, and to improve all the relations of social and domestic life" l Question-Is there anything hid that shall not be known? l Answer-The disciple is not above his Master, nor the servant above his Lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his Master, and the ser want as his Lord. If they have call ed the master of the house Beelbebub how much more shall they call them of his household? Fear them not 1 therefore; for there is nothing cov- cred, that shall not be revealed; and hid that shall not be known.-Matt x:24-26.
 Q.-Why should we exhort one an other daily to the performance of good deeds?
 | A Fo1y II. be in any of you an evil heart of un- belief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily while it's called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.-Heb. iii:12, 13.
 Q.-Should we come boldly to the throne of grace?
 A.-Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to helF in time of need.-Heb. iv:16.
 Q.-Is God gracious unto us?
 A.-And therefore will the Lorc wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted that He may have mercy upon you for the Lord is a God of judgment bessed are all that wait for Him. Isa. xxx:18.
 Q.-What is the difference between the churl and the liberal?
 A.-The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketF right. But the liberal deviseth libera things; and by liberal things shall he stand.-XXxii:7 8.
 Wherefore then do ye harden youl hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when He hae wrought wonderfully among them, die they not let the people go, and they departed ?-LaSa vi:6.
 Q.-The words of Samuel are al true today as of old, what did ht say?
 A.-And Samuel spake Hnto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do re. turn unto the Lord with all youl

SACRED MISTLETOE.

The druids with ceremonies of great
sOlemnity used to collect mistletoe with
a golden sickle against the festival Of
winter solstice." Only the oaks bear
ing mistletoe were sacred to this an
cient order of men.
1t is recorded tnat the peoples rev.
erence for the priests proceeded in
great measure from the cures which
the priests effected by means Of this
curious green plant of the pear-like
berries. 1t was collected thus cere-
moniously by the druids because it was
supposed to drive away evil spirits.
The reason among the druids for
bringing in bits Of evergreen from the
woods and adorning the house is a
most charming and lovable one: 'The
houses were decked with evergreen
in December that the Sylvan spirits
might repair to them and remain un-
nipped with frost and cold winds until
a milder season had renewed the foil
age of their darling abOdes."

ComnIeta Recovery.

Canfeld's restaurant, adjoining the
famous gambling house in Saratoga,
had in it's prime the reputation of be-
ing the highest priced restaurant in
the world. It's patrons included sport
ing men and gamblers. If they won
they could afford to pay the prices; if
they lost there were other eating
houses.
Garfield was parading the veranda
one Sunday morning after his gambling
house had suffered one of the biggest
losses of it's history.
While he was parading Tex Grenet,
a San Antonio sporting man, came up
the walk.
'Well. boss" he said, with mock So
licitude, ''they tell me the boys trim
med the faro bank last night"
"They did," answered Garfield. "The

FeIicitous Coincidence.

Years ago at banquet given in cele-
bration of the completion of the Chi
cago board of trade building Mayor
Harrison, the elder, made a lOwery
speech, in the course of which he said,
II am proud of the fact that l was
born in the year that the locomotive
was invented"
The next address was made by En-
cry Storrs. nationally celebrated for his
wit. Mr. Storrs said. Il agree with
Mayor Harrison in declaring it a fe-
hcitous coincidence that he and the
locomotive were born the same year,
for both have been blowing off steam
ever since. Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tel-

The famous Liddell, who, with Scott,
compiled Liddell and Scott's lexicon,
was dean of Christchurch college, OK
ford. 1t was whispered in regard to
the lexicon that Liddell provided the
money and Scott the brains. A young
undergraduate was hailed before the
dean for some misdemeanor. Il hear,
Mr. -, that you have a pretty wit
for impromptu verse;" said the dean.
"If you will write one on the lexicon
/ will let you Off" The young man
thought a moment and then said:
There's lexicon written by Liddell and
Scott.
Some of it's good, and some Of it's not.
The part that is good was written by
Scott.
The part that was written by Liddell is

SPOILING THE EFFECT.
How an AnticIimax Can Destroy the
Sting of a Reproach.

How an AnticIimax Can Destroy the
Sting Of Reproach.
An amusing anecdOte related by
country lawyer recently found its way
into print in an Italian journal. Two
men, devoted friends from childhood
and eventually partners in a small
grocery business, had quarrel over
girl. She was feather Drained, pretty
and cOquettish, and after showing
marked favor to the senior partner
suddenly threw him over and became
engaged to the younger. The Tilted
one was in despair. He raved, sobbed
and tore his hair. His family and
friends, after quieting him as best
they could, persuaded him to complete
by letter the severance of business re-
lations with his successful rival.
"Oh, cruel world! oh, treachery of
man. he wrote. "Thus is our friend
ship broken-our partnership dissolv
ed l can neither think, plan nor act.
l can but weep. My brother, who
brings you this, my last word, | en-
power to represent me in arranging
the miserable details. They are moth
ing to me. How should care about
trifes when my heart is breaking?
Only this l stipulate: the cat and the
pup you may retain entire, but on no
consideration will l part with my half
of the donkey"
A historic instance of anticlimax
scarcely less complete is related in the
"Diary of Nine. Arblay" The Comte
de Lally, the famous French-Irish sol
dier, when he held a command in In
dia was seriously displeased with an
officer who, being charged with COM
mission to the Dutch East India au-
thorities, had compromised it's success
by a blunder, and blunder Of sort
he had once before committed and
been forgiven for. Selling his pen the
moment he had finished the erring Off
GERS report, the general wrote furi-
ously:
eff you are guilty Of that fault
again l warn you that if you had the
head of my son on the shoulders of my
father I will have it chopped off,
At that moment his steward entered.
"What do you want?" demanded Lally.
"Sir, have just heard that you are
sending an express to the Dutch, and
as we shall soon be out Of coffee !
came to ask if you would not order
some"
every WELL" said the general, whose
explosion in ink had already relieved
his anger. and reopening his letter he
added:
"P. ST. request you to do me the
favor to send me by bearer a packet
of coffee"
The offender kept his head and sent
the coffee.

Forerun. .er of Christmas.

The 5pirit of merrymaking that
marks CIR Christmas holidays had it's
origin with the Roman feast called
the Saturnalia. This was a festival in
honor of Saturn, father of the gods.
1t lasted for a week or two, beginning
about the 10Th of December, and was
the occasion for great revelry among
all classes. No business was transact
ed during this period, war was sus-
pended, private feuds were forgotten
or forgiven, and general good fellow
ship reigneG supreme. Friends ex-
changed presents with one another,
and the slaves were waited upon by
their masters and mistresses.

A Diplomatic Satire.

The king of MadagaO. being engaged
I'm a dispute with the king of Borne
gascar, wrote him as follows:
Before proceeding further in this
matter / demand the recall Of your
minister from my capital"
Greatly enraged by this impossible
demand, the king of Bornegascar re-
piled:
81 shall not recall my minister.
Moreover, If you do not Immediately
retract your demand l shall withdraw
him"
This threat so terrified the king of
Madagao that in Fastening to comply
he fell over his own feet, breaking the

A Little Sun, a Little Rain.

A little sun, little rain,
A soft wind blowing from the west,
And woods and fields are sweet again
And warmth within the mountains
breast.
So ample is the earth we tread,
So quick with love and life her frame,
Ten thousand years have dawned and
fed,
And still her magic is the same.
A little love, little trust,
soft impulse, a sudden dream,
And life as dry as desert dust
Is fresher than a mountain stream.
So simple is the heart of man,
So ready for new hope and joy,
Ten thousand years since it began
Have left it younger than a boy.
