PREFACE AND RESOLUTIONS. The indisputable fact that death is the common lot of mankind, that all nations, peoples and individuals, are alike subject to the stroke of the grim reaper, adds not one ray of comfort to the heart of the bereaved one who mourns the loss of one beloved; nor do the tender ministrations and sympathetic words of loving friends, which fall like hollow mockery on the anguished spirit, give one iota of relief to the heart whose despairing crys out, "There is no sorrow like unto my sorrow," while the severed ties, the vacant chair, the shattered hopes, are all mute, but eloquent, witnesses of the desolation wrought by the advent of the inevitable, but unwelcome messenger. But is there not another aspect of this pathetic condition—is not the separation so heart-rending, only a brief transition to a nobler, a higher life—a eternal, purified, blest? Oh! say the recognition of this belief she and tranquilize, as no other agency can, the anguish of natural human affection, and lift the thought from death and the tomb, into the contemplation of those eternal joys in the Paradise of God. The members of All Saints parish have recently been called to sympathize with several of their number into whose homes the death angel has entered, and the hearts of all have turned with especial tenderness toward the saddened life of one endeared to us by long association, and by her lovely Christian character, shown forth in her uniform kindness and gentleness of heart, and in her unwavering devotion to the cause of the Master, whose humble follower she had long shown herself to be. Animated by a desire to express our appreciation of the Christian life and character of our departed friend and brother, Mr. David W. Stevens, and our sympathy with his beloved companion—we, the officers and members of the Woman's Guild of All Saints parish, adopt the following resolutions: WHEREAS, It has pleased the loving All-Father, in His infinite wisdom, to remove from our midst our friend and brother in Christ, David W. Stevens; therefore, be it RESOLVED, That we bow in humble submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well. RESOLVED, That in his upright democancer in this community he evidenced the virtues and excellencies of ```markdown ``` the Christian, and lived as an exemplar to his associates and friends. RESOLVED, That we offer to his stricken widow (and our dear sister and friend) our heartfelt sympathy in her bereavement, and implore her to rely on the love and promises of Him who is a husband to the widow and a stronghold in the day of trouble. RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the afflicted widow, and a copy be published in the weekly journals, and a copy also be preserved in the archives of the Woman's Guild. MRS.

Lloyd, chairman; Wm. H. Robinson, secretary. A lady entered a dry goods store, not long since, and told the salesman to show her something that Negroes didn't wear. The gentleman asked: "Did I understand you to say that you wished to see a kind of goods not worn by Negroes?" She replied in the affirmative. He stood and pondered for a moment, then darting a few steps away, returned with a owl of white jeans. He said: "Madam, here's something Negroes do not wear now. They were compelled to wear it before the war, but have not worn it since. They wear everything else we have in stock." The lady, highly indignant, turned on the salesman a glance of scorn and walked rapidly away. You will not be in it if you miss the Odd Fellows' picnic next week.

ESCAPED A JAIL SENTENCE Christian County Senator Convicted of Having Asked For Money to Pass Alum BI in Legixature Given Maximam Fine. Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 21—The jury in the case of State Senator Wm. P. Sullivan, charged with soliciting a bribe, brought in a verdict of guilty, Thursday afternoon, and Sullivan was fined $100. Senator Sullivan is from Christian county. He was charged with asking a bribe from Whitney Layton, the Alum trust man, to secure the passage of 2, bill Layton was promoting. Instructions to the Jury. When circuit court convened, Thurs- day morning, Judge Timmonds read his instructions to the jury. They were the usual instructions in such cases. He called the attention of the ur lp || ga a) jury to the opposite testimony of Sul- livan and Layton, and told them they must decide which told the truth. “If the jury find the defendant guilty,” he instructed the jury, “then the punishment is a fine of not exceed- ing $100, or a jail sentence of not more than two months, or by both such fine and ‘mprisonment.” Arguments of Attorneys. ‘The attorneys then began their argu- ment. Prosecuting Attorney Stone opened for the state, arguing that Layton told a straightforward story of the trans- action, which could not be shaken by the defense. Referring to the _testi- mony of Maj. Emmett Newton, of Springfield, he said: “I do not need to talk of Newton. He gave an im- pression that he owned the entire leg- tslature and could move them as he desired by the simple wave of his hand. I know you will give but little credence to his testimony.” W. S. Pope, for the defense, fol- lowed Stone. He dwelt upon the good character and good name of Sullivan which would be destroyed should a convietion be secured. He ridiculed Layton’s testimony and declared it was not corroborated by a single witness or single fact in this case, but was contradicted by every fact and by several witnesses. A. H. Wear, of Springfield, followed Pope for the defense. He dwelt at length on the testimony of Senator Sullivan that Layton offered him $3,000 for two votes. He played on the fact that on Mareh 5, the next day after the substitute alum bill passed, Layton purchased a draft from the Exchange bank for $2,500. He said this money was not needed longer to buy votes since Layton’s bill was dead. Argument of Attorney General, Attorney-General Crow closed the ar- gument. He began by saying that he did not desire to do any injury to a single citizen of Missouri. “I believe,” he said, “that the defense in this case is built up on perjured testimony. They are trying to fasten a felony on Whit- ney Layton by their perjured testi- mony. I refer to the testimony of Sen- ators Sullivan and Smith.” Attorney-General Crow made an elo- quent address, and appealed to the jur- ors to stand by the law and find the defendant guilty. Attorney-General Crow declared that the testimony of Senator Smith stamped him. as a boodler. Referring to Maj. Newton, he said: “I never shirk my duty. When I can not perform my official duty I will re- sign. I believe as firmly as I believed that there is a God; as firmly as 1 be- lieve there is eternal judgment; as firmly as I believe you gentlemen are honest men, I say I believe that Maj. Emmett Newton gave perjured testi- mony from that stand. I challenge lawyers for the defense to meet this charie.” ‘The jury then retired, at 1:15, and at 2:36 the verdict in the case was brought in, While it is the maximum sae the offense the penalty could fave carried a sentence of two months as STEAMER SUNK IN LAKE ERIE Crew of Fifteen and Two Youns Women Narrowly Excape Drowning.

THE ILLINOIS BUILDING. The Architect Wil Himself Eres? the Mlinoix Building at the St. Louis Worla’s Fair. St. Louis, Aug. 21.—The state of Il- inois will build its state pavilion with- out the intervention of a general con- tractor. The architect himself will erect the structure. He will be repre- sented on the work by J. Lawrence Brown as superintendent. Mr. Brown supervised the erection of the Liberal Arts building and of the Manufactures building for the exposition. The pro- cess thus pursued differ materially from the process pursued by other states in the erection of their build- ings. All the other states received bids for the erection of their buildings com- plete from general contractors. ‘These general contractors then let sub-con- tracts for various kinds of works. In the erection of the Illinois building (hese bids from the sub-contractors will be given to the architect instead of to the general contractor. The rea- son for this change was that the archi- tect considered the bids of the general gontractors higher than were justified by the plans. A number of changes were made in the building plans which, in the opinion of the architect, will bring the structure within the amount af $75,000 appropriated for the build- ing. Work on the structure will begin at once and it is expected to be com- plete within 90 days, that is, before the cold weather sets in. ‘The changes in the building preserve the central dome which has been its feature. The changes eliminate the third story and the room of state: A DAUGHTER OF JOHN BROWN. A Visitor Who Wax Warmly Wel- comed By the G. A. R.

ROBBERS’ WARM RECEPTION Sana. menniitg i) Dewaty, Suertdh Supposed to be One of the High- vaymen, Kitted—Hin Compan ton Riddled With Bullets. St. Louis, Aug. 21.—The reign OF outlawry in St. Louis resulted in an at- tempt, early Thursday morning, to rob the St. Charles hotel, Fourteenth ané St. Charles streets. In the desperate battle which followed between the highwaymen and the night clerk, and Jater between police officers and the robbers, one highwayman was shot four times and probably fatally wound- ed, the night hotel clerk was shot through the left forearm, and Special Officer Michael Cremins was shot through the leg. Half an hour later the dead body of John McAuliffe, a deputy constable, and one of the tough characters of the Fourth police district, plunged head- Jong from a buggy at Broadway and Biddle street. Police say that McAuliffe’s body was seen to plunge head first outof a bug- gy in which he was driving. It is be- lieved that he was shot during the run- ning battle, and his body put into the buggy and driven away by one of his companions. ‘The two highwaymen who attempted to rob the St. Charles hote! met with ‘such a warmreception at the hands of Night Clerk Clyde O. Dawson, that they were glad to escape with their lives. Although Dawson is but a mere boy of 17, he whipped a pistol ont of his in- side coat pocket and while held by one of the robbers fired backwards under bis arm, compelling them to release their hold upon him’ and as they dis- appeared out of the door a well-aimed bullet staggered one of the highway- men who was afterwards captured and gave the name of Joseph Wrighi. Policemen Join in Running Battle As Wright regained his footing anc started to run away with his com- panion, Special Officers Patrick Muar- phy, Michael Cremins and Andrew Gor- don, attracted by the shooting, arrived on the scene. A desperate running battle ensued in which Wright’s body was almost rid- dled with bullets. The highwaymen. returning the fire, shot Detective Crem- ins through the leg, and while he was being attended by Detective Mur- phy the companion of Wright succeed- ed in making his escape. Creminx Saw McAuliffe In Bugsy. Special Officer Cremins, who wa? wounded in the fight, says that he saw McAuliffe and another man in a bugzy on Market street at ten o'clock, just two hours before the attack was made upon the St. Charles hotel. Wright, the wounded robber, whe will probably die, admitted that he was drinking with McAuliffe in the bar of the St. Charles hotel before the rob- bery occurred. Night Clerk Dawson, whose admira- ble defense against the two highway- men won the approbation of the police was taken by Night Chief Gillaspy to the morgue to see the dead body of Mc- Auliffe. McAuliffe was an adherent of the Kinney faction in Fourth ward polities and was deputy constable.under Mike Kinney, brother of Thomas E. Kinney, the alderman, and well-known political leader.

SOMETHING GOLD CANNOT BUY There is something far better than wealth. Which men strive for and hoard till they die; For the life that is blessed with good health. Wears a crown that no riches can buy; And the mind of contentment and ease. Nother harassed by trouble nor care. Has a rest in its heaven of peace. All unknown to the proud millionaire. There is that which the world with its wish. With its grandeur, and glory and might, Is unable to give or withhold. For its pains do its pleasures all blight. The good heart that is filled with pure love. And that feels for another's deep woe. Has the source of its joy from above. A tount that never ceases to flow. Better than wealth is the mind that loves. And delights in its search for truth; That all the wide range of knowledge understands. As a help and example to youth. The mines that yield us jewels most rare are devoid of a gem the most pure; And virtue set in her graces all fair, Is a jewel alone to endure. There is something far better than gold, That will rival the most precious stone, A confidence correct is of value untold, Compass that will guide to the throne, If we list to its dictates of right, We can face the unknown without fear; And the angel of death, in his might, Will cause not a sigh nor a tear.

CHAPTER XVII.—CONTINUED. They approached the gateway connecting the ocean with the bay. This they found to be a passage not more than 100 yards in width, the cliffs rising perpendicularly or beetling over the water. Outside was a bar over which the long swell of the ocean rolled in curling breakers, as they reached the upheaval of the shore. Inside was deeper water, where the waves regained a part of their strength as they glided smoothly into the gateway. The fore nue p olited ion bul- sin the as de- m war ub- "Let's see if we can get outside," said Mr. Kent. "If we can pass those breakers we can paddle out a mile or so and perhaps size up this island. Let's try it. You can swim, I suppose?" "Yes, I can swim, and I guess we will have to before we can pass those breakers," said Sidney, as he watched the great surges sweep over the bar. "We will try it if you wish to take the risk." "I am not afraid," said Mr. Kent, gently. "All right. We will leave our guns and shoes ashore," suggested Sidney. "Our shirts and trousers are no more incumbrance than a bathing suit." They stripped and paddled the raft holdly out to the bar. The nearer they approached the higher did the combers appear. A mass of green water would rise from the sea; its upper edge frayed with a line of light; the top-heavy mass would poise for an instant and then fall in a graceful curve, breaking into spouting masses of foam. The roar of these falling tons of water was in their ears, but they pushed steadily on. A giant wave dashed its strength out in a watery roar so near them that the spindrift was in their eyes and the salt on their lips. "Now is the chance!" shouted Sidney. "Hard! Hard! hard!" They pushed on their crude paddles with all their strength. One hundred yards away the sea was an undulating plain of smooth rollers. Could they reach it? The next wave rose before them. The forward end of the raft tilted back until it was nearly upright. Five feet in their rear the swell broke and churned the water in fury. "Hurrah!" shouted Sidney. "Once more and we are all right!" As he spoke a mountain of water welled up from the ocean. Sidney gave it one glance. He knew the moods of the sea too well to make any mistake about that wave. Fifty feet away it reared its crest. Dark blue and blending green above it rose until it towered above their heads. "Dive into it!" cried Sidney, as the edge of the comber broke into dazzling white. Mr. Kent hesitated for a moment, but Sidney dived straight into the breaker. For a few seconds, which seemed minutes, his ears were filled with the crash of waters. The under-tow pulled him down af if he were a straw. It seemed as if the weight of tons was holding his down; but, with a lusty stroke he came to the surface. He shook the water out of his eyes and looked for Mr. Kent. He was not in sight! Sidney raised himself out of the water as high as possible and searched the foam-fleeked water. The succeeding wave swept over him. Like all good swimmers, he kept his eyes open when under water. To the right he saw the dark outlines of some dark object, and struck out for it. As Sidney came to the surface the second time, he saw Mr. Kent only a few yards away. He was conscious and was struggling desperately but wildly to keep afloat. In a moment Sidney was by his side. The next wave did not break and both had a breathing spell. "Throw your left arm across my back and hang to my shirt," said Sidney, as he passed his arm under Mr. Kent's chest. "Keep cool; we are all right." Mr. Kent did not for a moment lose his nerve or his self-control. He did as Sidney directed, grasping his shirt with a firm hold and using his right hand to aid in swimming. Three times they went below in the boiling surf, but they HE WAS STRUGGLING DESPER- ATELY. made slow yet steady progress towards the inlet. Mr. Kent did not reply in answer to Sidney's reassuring words, but devoted all his energies to keeping above water. At last they passed the danger point, and reached the quiet waters, where the shattered surges rolled with a gentle swell. Mr. Kent glanced back and released his hold. "I'm all right," he said. "Much obliged." Mr. Kent struck out for the raft, which was bobbing up and down in the water a few rods away. Sidney swam at his side and soon climbed aboard the raft. He helped Mr. Kent to his feet, and then swam for the paddles, which were floating toward the rocks. He recovered them and was again safe on the raft. "Are you all right, Mr. Kent?" asked Sidney, as he grasped the hand of his companion and shook it earnestly. "I am all right, except that I have a quart or more of salt water in my stomach," said Mr. Kent, who seemed more chagrined than hurt. "It is a lucky thing for me that you are a strong swimmer. I could not have kept up. You saved my life, Hammond. I don't know how to thank you for a little thing like that." "Don't try," said Sidney, laughing heartily. "I am glad you are not injured. How did it happen?" "Like a fool, I did not take your advice and dive in time," said Mr. Kent. "I thought the raft would ride that wave, and so I took a chance. It tipped squarely over and when I tried to jump my foot slipped. The raft came over right on top of me, and for a moment I was stunned. I don't know how long I was under water. The first thing I remember was when you yelled in my ear. I knew enough to do as I was told. In my time, I have helped persons out of the water, and have not forgotten the rules. The next wave would have fixed me. I could not get my breath, and was losing my strength." They soon were on shore; removed their garments, wrung them out, and remained in the shade of a tree until their clothing was dried sufficiently to wear. Mr. Kent would listen to no proposition involving an immediate return to the bungalow, and stoutly declared he was as well as ever. After an hour's rest they proceeded to climb the slope of the rock which formed the north portal of the gateway. It was a long, hard struggle over the rocks and through brush and briars. But they kept on and at last stood on the summit of the crag, 400 feet above the ocean. "Look at that!" exclaimed Sidney. He pointed in the direction where there was a cleft in the ridge of hills to the northwest. There showed the faint outlines of a distant giant mountain peak; a pyramid whose top was white with eternal snow. "See that mountain peak!" he exclaimed. Mr. Kent's eyes were not so good as Sidney's, but he soon made out the outline of a mountain. "That peak is about 150 miles from here," said Sidney in great joy. "It must be on the mainland of Mexico or Central America. There are no ranges on any islands with peaks like that. We are within sight of shore. That mountain is a long way off, but I do not believe that it can be more than 150 miles. It looks like a volcano. I imagine I can see a column of smoke above it. With a favoring wind we can make the mainland in a day. This is great. We can build a boat and get away from this island in less than two weeks at the most." "It certainly looks as if you are right," said Mr. Kent. "I wonder how big this island is?" They studied the shape of the coast, but it gave no answer to Mr. Kent's question. From where they stood it was apparent no exploration of the shore from below was possible. Even at low tide the ocean beat at the foot of the rocks, casting its spray far up their sides. In places, the never-resting waves had worn caverns into the cliffs. They determined to make an attempt to reach the northern ridge of hills by skirting the brow of the cliffs, but postponed this until after lunchcon. This they ate with good appetite, and luckily found a spring of clear, cool water bubbling from the crevice of $ \rho $ rock. "Simon Pence is a queer character observed Sidney, tessing a ban ama skin over the cliff. "I suppose he means well, but he is what some people call a little 'near.'" "Did you ever hear of the time the committee waited on him to get a contribution for some charity?" asked Mr. Kent. "It was decided to raise a sum of money for some descriving charity," continued Mr. Kent. "I have forgotten what it was—there are so many of them. At any rate, the paper went the rounds, and they called on me among others. I signed for a sum, and glanced over the list. Morton was down for $2,000, Rockwell had signed for $2,500, Carmody had pledged $3,000—he is very liberal and charitable, as he can afford to be—Haven was down for something, and there was a lot of others. I noticed that Mrs. Simon Pence was on the paper for $50. Well, the committee called on Pence. They were admitted and explained their mission. He sighed and looked at the list. He read it up and down, and suddenly came upon the name Mrs. Simon Pence. He picked up his pen and wrote something. The committee was all expectation. He har led it back to them. What do you suppose they saw?" "I am sure I cannot guess?" "He had written 'Mr and' before 'Mrs. Simon Pence.' That was his contribution. There is no way to beat him. Let's be moving." They made their way along the edge of the cliffs for perhaps half a mile, but could go no further. Retracing their steps, they again stood on the rock overlooking "Morton's Bay" and the ocean. At the same moment both gave an exclamation and pointed out to sea. The upper rigging of a ship showed clear on the eastern horizon, but she was hull down on the waste of waters. For half an hour they gazed at the dim outlines of masts and sails. "She is fully 25 miles away," said Sidney, as he gazed longingly at the disappearing vessel. "We must erect a signal from some point like this, and keep a man on watch during the day. If one ship passes more are likely to, and some may come near enough to see and understand our signal." "Look at those clouds," said Mr. Kent. "There comes your storm. What time is it?" "Half past two. Those are remarkable looking clouds. I never saw anything like them before. Let us get our raft across the bay. If Vincent and Pence are wise they will come back at once. We are going to have some wind." In the southeast a murky rainbow of clouds extended over a quarter of the horizon. The crown of this arch reached about 30 degrees above the sea line. Its upper edges were gray, with flecks of white. Then it shaded into a blue, and lower into a band of darker gray. Below it was saffron blending into a murky red at the horizon. Before Sidney and Mr. Kent had reached the raft, the breeze had died away. Slowly the dun arch climbed the heavens. It was three o'clock when the raft reached the place which had been agreed upon. Sidney fired his rifle twice as a signal; and both yelled at the top of their voices. There was no response, and they both fired, and again shouted. Sidney climbed up the rocks. He called repeatedly, but there was no reply. There was a moaning sound in the air which seemed to come from the sea. Everything was bathed in an unearthly reddish-yellow light. The trees were motionless as if cast in bronze. "See how fast the tide is rising!" exclaimed Mr. Kent. "You can see it rise. Look at that!" He pointed towards the inlet. A dark ridge rose out of the lake. On the opposite shores was a moving line of white. "Jump ashore. It's a tidal bore!" cried Sidney. The wave came rolled towards them like the smooth billows in the wake of a steamship. It lost its force as the lake widened, but it was strong enough to hammer the raft against the rocks. They pulled the raft as high on the beach as they could. The water rose at the rate of a foot a minute. The roar of the surf beyond the cliffs was like the sullen thunder. And as yet not a breath of air. Across the bay they saw men on the stone deck beckoning them to return. It was half-past three o'clock. They had promised to have the raft on the south shore at five. Both agreed that they must wait for Vincent and Pence. It seemed strange they did not appear. The arch was overhead. It looked like a mass of writhing snakes. The moan in the air took a higher key. The lake was shrouded in a darkening pail. Sidney felt a puff of hot air on his face. The moan from the sea became a roar. Three hundred feet above, the crown of a palm tree bowed to the west. "This way, Mr. Kent!" shouted Sidney. He grabbed the older man by the arm and they dashed to the shelter of an overhanging rock. And not a moment too soon. The hurricane broke on the island with a fury which seemed incarnate. A tree which had withstood the storm blasts of generations was torn from the heights above and went whirling across the lake. In a moment it was dark as night. From where the two men were sheltered they could judge of the storm only by the tunnell. It came from the southeast and passed over their heads. From above there came a torrent of water and a shower of rocks, stones and logs. It did not seem possible a human being could survive such a storm for a minute. There were occasional flashes of light. The sky became tremulous with its sickening flicker. Gradually this became more intense. Then there was a glare as if the universe had burst into flame. The hilla seemed to rock in the explosion which followed. Those who grow frightened at the puny manifestations of nature in a northern thunderstorm, cannot afford to cavil at an apparent extravagance of language essential to a word picture of a tropical hurricane. As night came on the storm increased in fury. They gave Vincent and Pence up as lost, and never expected to see them alive again. All night long they crouched under the ledge of rock; wet and hungry and sad at heart. The crash of falling timber, the rumble of tumbling rocks, the incessant reverberation of thunder, the lashing of the rain, and the spectacle of a sky aflame with writhing skein of lightning made an impression on their minds never to be effaced. But at five o'clock there was a lull in the storm. There was a faint gleam of the dawn of day. Nature mustered her forces for one more terrific blast. When exhausted, the light broke through the clouds. As by magic the hurricane was over. The wind died to a refreshing breeze. Of a sudden, the foliage on the ridges across the bay was radiant with sunshine. Sidney and Mr. Kent came from behind the sheltering rock. They presented a sorry sight. Their duck suits were streaked with mud and their faces tense and drawn by excitement and lack of sleep. They washed their hands and faces in the lake, and then climbed the ridge, where they obtained an unbroken view of the bay. To their delight they saw the figures of four men on the stone pier. Sidney waved his hat and was greeted by an answering signal. The people of the bungalow shouted across the water, and Sidney and Mr. Kent yelled in return. Mr. Morton, Mr. Carmody and his companions speedily built and launched a new raft and were soon rowing to the relief of the missing ones. "Where are Pence and Vincent?" shouted Mr. Morton, as the raft neared the shore. "They did not return," said Sidney. "I am afraid they were lost in the storm." Sidney would not listen to the proposition that he return with Mr Kent to the bungalow. Though wet and hungry, he joined Mr. Mortox and plunged into the forest to find the missing men, dead or alive. He was glad to learn that the bungalow had survived the hurricane with small damage, and that none of the occupants were injured.

Consider the importance of sensitivity to the minutest form of error or transgression. Alas for him who has become coarse and callous and lost the sense of sin! Hardness is hopelessness. Delicacy is life and salvation. Blessed is the man in whom transgression leaves a black bruise or a bloody gash. As men become scholarly they are disturbed by bad rhetoric or grammar. As men become musical they become sensitive to discord. A perfect orator is tortured by the voice and gesture and posture of a poor speaker. It is a wounded man that values a physician. It is the sense of pain that iongs for ether or chloroform; it is blindness that recognizes the real value of sight; it is the man who has been in a dungeon who appreciates liberty. Above all else, it is the sense of sin and the consciousness of error that lend value to thoughts about a Saviour and His forgiveness. Mr. Gladstone thought the difference between our generation and the former one was the loss of the sense of sin. A man of equal intellect added that we have also erred in thinking there is nothing in God to fear. Nothing in God to fear! What greater mistake can be made than that? I do not mean future punishment. Gone forever the inferno of Dante and Milton. Gone the lurid flames of Michael Angelo's "Last Judgment." Gone all thought of saints who lean over the battlements of Heaven to rejoice in the agonies of the lost soul. The last remnant of these crass and vulgar interpretations has perished forever. But God is love, and God remains. Love that pites, love that forgives, love that redeems and saves. But there is nothing so much to be feared as love! What is so terrible as love? It is a thousand times easier to go toward blows than toward silent and injured love. One could endure martyrdom that is physical, easily—what noble nature, in view of the woes of the slave and the sorrows of children, has not been caught up into the moods when martyrdom would have been a joy—in imagination at least, when one would not have gladly died a thousand deaths for the weak and oppressed! But death by fire and death by the scourge and death by stones and death by the bullet—all these are physical, and the pains are brief and the death throes come swiftly. How can this youth, who has brought his father's gray hairs down in sorrow to the grave, ever forgive himself for having wounded his father's love? How can a man forget his ungenerosity toward the all-generous God? It is the love of God that holds terror. It is His all-enduring mercy that stirs alarm. No harsh thing, therefore, can be said of our generation than that we have lost the sense of sin. Our age has suffered many forms of injury. Let us hope that we have not suffered so grievously that for us there is notting in God to fear! We can lose our art, our libraries, our tools and recover; but we must not lose our fineness of fiber and delicacy of conscience, that feels every form of sin and is afraid of injured love—Dr. Newell Dwight Hills. Enables Family Life. Our Lord has made all the family relationships more sacred. The spirit which would dissolve them, which would dream of a holier life than that of the household, a discipline more sacred than that of a godly family, is contrary to the spirit of Christ. Through Him we learn to love our kindred and friends with a nobler love. The church is one great family—sharers in the same parenal care and heirs to a common inheritance. Jealousies may spring up between the fondest hearts, and the most passionate love may grow cool unless Christ purify it. He teaches us how to love brothers and sisters, and even our own children, aright. He bids the church esteem men, not for rank or fashion, but because they belong to Christ. Our Lord's dying words showed how clearly He loved His mother, and were a reflection of the love which she bestowed on His infant days. No mother was ever more tender and thoughtful; no child ever loved a mother so perfectly. There is no love like His; and he who possesses it will love his kindred better, and seek to win them to the brotherhood of Christ.—James Gardiner Vose. CREED OF A COLLEGE CLASS. Good as Far as It Goes, But Omit Some Essentials of the Christian Faith. An interesting document is the confession of faith made by the 60 members of the graduating class of the Bowdoin college, as given in the Outlook by President Hyde. The president asked each member of the class to write out his individual belief and disbelief. Then he blended the returned papers, rejecting everything that anyone disbelieved, and concerting all the positive beliefs. This composite creed he had printed, and a copy was given to each member of the class. Then a session was held in which, after two hours of discussion and modification, the following was unanimously adopted: "I believe in one God, present in nature as law, in science as truth, in art as beauty, in history as justice, in society as sympathy, in conscience as duty, and supremely in Christ as our highest ideal. "I believe in the Bible as the expression of God's will through man; in prayer as the devotion of man's will to God, in the church as the fellowship of those who try to do God's will in the world. "I believe in worship as the highest inspiration to work; in sacrifice as the price we must pay to make right what is wrong; in salvation as growth out of selfishness into service; in eternal life as the survival of what loves and is lovable in each individual; and in judgment as the obvious fact that the condition of the gentle, the generous, the modest, the pure, and the true is always and everywhere perferable to that of the cruel, the sensual, the mean, the proud, the false." This contains nothing to which the most orthodox could object. Its defects, says the Baptist Union, are defects of omission, as was inevitable in the manner of its make-up—a single objection sufficing to throw out a most vital truth. Probably no member of the class who has a religious experience would say that it represents what he regards as essential to a complete confession of faith. It would be a very satisfactory creed for a church or a minister who desired to suit everybody and antagonize no one. Its omissions are fatal from an evangelistic point of view. It knows nothing of the Fatherhood of God, the atonement of Christ, and the mission of the Holy Spirit. It says nothing of the forgiveness of sin, the renewal of the heart, or salvation by faith, and thus it would leave the convicted sinner to despair. It reduces all prayers to the single formula: "Thy will be done," and it makes the church a fellowship of men, instead of a body whose Head is Christ. The Lordship of Christ now appears. There is no day of judgment save that each judges for himself that it is always and everywhere better to be good than to be bad. Eternal life is a survival of what is lovely, and eternal death is unknown save by implication. Doubtless it was a good exercise for the boys, but it is to be sincerely hoped that no one of them will stop with so vague a relation to Christ as that of holding Him simply as an ideal.

It is well to do our work as to God, a blessed privilege to feel that whatever we do we may do it to Him; but it is blessed also to have a day for communion with Him in which we need not work.—James Hinton. Reverence is the chief joy and power of life; reverence for that which is pure and bright in youth, for what is true and tried in age, for all that is gracious among the living, great among the dead and marvelous in the powers that cannot die.—John Ruskin. We speak in common phrase of "drawing breath," but the phrase is not a fact. In reality we only make place for the breath, and the eager air rushes into our lungs. And that is but a parable of the way the Spirit comes into men's lives; they need but to make place for Him and He fills them.—Chicago Interior. It is easier to have opinions than it is to have convictions. Opinion is a half-way station between ignorance and knowledge. Opinions, as a rule, are based largely upon conjectures, while convictions are arrived at by a careful consideration of the facts. Often we have loose opinions where we should have profound convictions.—Wellspring. The Burden That Lifts. The Burden That Lifts. Blessed is the day when privilege deposes duty and assumes the crown. It is a great and glorious revolution when "may" takes the place of "must" in our lives. An old Puritan minister of the seventeenth century—Dr. Stoughton—said: "We are all like children's tops, that will go but little longer than they are whipped." The good doctor was right if he meant that we had all known that day and experience; but he was wrong if he meant that there is no other experience for us to know. The day comes to many a man when the burden he carries becomes the joy he desires. The pictures in our church windows have great truth in them when they place the crown on the cross. So it was that Samuel Rutherford said that the cross of Christ was such a burden as sails are to a ship, or wings are to a bird—a burden that carries us onward to our desired haven—S. S. Times.

The feature of the interior will be the large reception hall, 50x60 feet, with a hardwood floor. In the floor will be a marble mosaic center piece about twenty-six feet square, showing the counties of Kentucky in different colored marbles. A border design will give this a rug effect, as beautiful when viewed through the light-well from the second floor as from the first. The second floor is to be similar in plan to the first, and will be for ladies, with the exception that the rooms will be arranged at one end so that they can be used as one large banqueting room. Over the large reception hall will be a third floor level with the roof of the second story. A small space on this floor will be reserved for a serving room. The remainder of this floor will be as open as possible to connect with the outer galleries formed of the roofs of the porches. The roof above the third floor—the main roof—will also be accessible.

These experienced gentlemen now have a study at 2605 Lawton avenue, and the collection of their drawings has excited the most skeptical mind which proves their wonderful genius. It would be well for any person to call at their studio that they may be convinced that they are truly two great artists, and their work will commend them to the lovers of oil paintings and art in every particular. Of course, most persons have their doubts as to the genuine work by them, but if you will visit their studio you can see them with brush in hand at work on some of the most difficult pictures. You will then be convinced to their profession. They invite you to call and see for yourself at 2605 Lawton avenue. FANNIE LEE, World's Fair artist. Pictures of all kinds called for and delivered.

Spending as much time as he could visiting an inmate, he started down the stairs on his way to catch the train back to the city. At the foot of the stairs stood a large clock. Taking out his own watch to com pees the time, he found there was a dif- erence of several minutes.

This company is the first to recognize the standing of fraternal orders among colored persons, by the establishment of a department designed to serve the interest and meet the special conditions of the race. In excellence of goods, appropriateness of designs, accommodation to peculiar conditions and reasonable prices, this company challenges competition and invites your patronage. My long official relation with these orders enables me to know and appreciate the wants and requirements of my brothers and sisters, and since I am devoting my entire attention to these interests, I can guarantee you entire satisfaction in the choicest goods at the lowest prices. Write for catalogue, price list and descriptive circular. Thanking you in advance for your co-operation in outfitting and raising our fraternal orders to a higher plane, U. S. POSTOFFICE.
