But there is another way to again offer the sacrament of service than by giving food to eat and raiment to put on: It is suggested by the last half of the text: "And every one said to his I brother. 'Be of good courage.'" There are men and women in this world- who need an encouraging word more than they need bread. Man does not live by bread alone. There are men on our streets who have been unfortunate int their lives. They are pessimistic and discouraged and distrust all the world. There are others who are in some vo cation which does not measure up to their ambition, and they need to have some one tap them on the shoulder and say. "Be of good courage." There are I a good many men who become discour- 3 agwd before they become drunkards. I There are others who lose their hope t before they lose their good name. I There are many who need to be met I at the door of the factory at the close of the day's work and led beyond the saloon to the doors of their homes, that they may be saved to themselves and to their families. They need words of strength. Their wills are weak and I must be reinforced. They need to be s inoculated with courage, and the power to resist evil. Very few of us realize how much help there is in a handshake when I given in a brotherly way. One of W el- I lington's officers when commanded to i go on some perilous duty, lingered a moment, as if afraid, and then said: t "Let me have one clasp of your all conquering hand before I go, and thenJ I can do it." The majority of the t needy ones of earth ask not for ouri money, but for our sympathy, and our t sympathy we ought to give. "Somet one ought to do it, but why should I?"I should be turned into the sacrificial ? sentiment. "Some one ought to do it.s so why not I' Frederick Douglass I appreciated the uplift which Lincoln 1 always gave him when they met, for Douglass said: "He is the only man who does not remind me that I am a I negro." To say to a weak brother withC all the meaning in your soul, "Be ofI good courage," will often make him a moral giatnt and suffer him to rise above his difficulties and his shortcom-t ings. There are very few persons who I do not need words of encouragement, who do not need to have some one say I to them, "Be of good courage." f No one has ever been able to speak f this word with such pathos as Jesus. and no hearts have ever been lifted into f the prese-nce of their best selves as those to whom He spoke. When the'1 woman was brought to Him taken inI her sin, it was "Go sin no more."s 'When others would condemn the wom-3 an who stole her way into the house of IS Simon the leper to anoint Jesus' feetC He said: "She hath done what she could."

Brooklyn, N. Y--Tl- Rev. :xbert Jonc- ord. pnstor of th.' FIrst Con:'re Churen. .loriden. Conn.. prEn<-h in PlCo:: h Church Sundny mnornin~ ill exchangle with the assistanit pnstor. the Rev. WillarO P". Harmion. 'Mr. Lo-rd had a good audience, in,.l preactd an excellent sermon. His subject was "Tlie Sacrament of Ser vice." The text was from Isaiah xli:t: "They helped every rue his neighbor. and every one said to his brother. 'Be of 'good courage.'" Mr. Lord said: We have been pasing rapidly in the last half century from an individual istic to a social type of civilization. Paul's words were never more true than to-day. when he said, "None of us liveth to himself. and no man dieth to himself." All the forces and factors pertainin- to human life-mechanfwal. social and religions-have been moving to such a degree toward each other that the twentIeth century can say that the one word which will serve her best for a watchword is "Together; togeth er." In the industrial world the concen tration of forces is most manifest. Dr. .Tosiah Strong calls to mind how that fifty years ago it waa the age of home spun. Families could meet all the needs of their households. spinning. weaving and the making of garmenis. The fields about fhe home supplied the inmates with the necessities of life. Then it was that the main force was the br'awny arm. But to-day manufac ture has forsaken the home for the mill and the factory, and steam and electricity are the regnant forces. Di vision of labor has taken the place of the single hand. Then one man made many things; now many men make one thing. But as industrially. so socially are we becoming more intimately related. A half century ago there were com munities, many but small in number and limited in advantages, yet complete in themsalves. Citizens seldom went beyond the borders of their respective towns. But gradually those communi ties have been groupe1 imto towns. and the towns developed into cities and the cities into greater cities. Whereas our fathers were independent of all the world. we are more or less dependent on the whole world. This made Robert Louis Stevenson exclaim. "It is really disheartening how we depend on other people in this life." This complex life has given rise to a great many social and fraternal or ganizations. Men have banded them selves together for mutual helpfulness. Fathers. working by the week and for small wages. having little enes de pending upon them, have serious thoughts when ihey realize that sick ness may be lying in wait for them and short hours may be their lot. When the head of the family is sick and unable to work. the income ceases, but expenses increase. To meet all these possibilities the various beneve lent societies and fraternal organiza tions have come into existence. It is every man's duty to consider not only the present demands of the fam ily, but its future welfare. It is a crime for a father to spend his money freehanded at the bar, or in hospitality at the club, or squander it in sports, when he has not, either in the savings bank or in insurance, made secure the future welfare of his family. It is every mtan's duty to endow the future with as good a livelihood for his fam ily as lies in his power. We heartily sympathize with frater nities and societies in their sick bene fits and care of widows and fatherless childre.- Trhey have a mission in soci ety. lit. however commendable they m'ay be. they must not take the place of the two divine institutions-the home :and tbet churchI. There is but one place where God has set up the altar of domestic affection, where conjugal relations are sanctified by the presence of children, and that is the home; and there is but one institution which the son of God ordained while upon earth, and that is the Christian church. Fra ternal organizationis should be supple ments, but never attempt to be substi tutes for the home or the church. But we cannot say that because life is becoming more highly organized it can be lived more easily. On the other band. we are inclined to say that the closer mens relations are the greater the friction and the more difficult to have every event work good to every person. This kind of life, I repeat, is far better but more difficult to live in all its relations. The tone of a three or five bank organ is much better, richer, more sympathetic and harmoni ous than the tone of a cabinet organ. In the one there are few combinations, while in the other there are hundreds. 'An amateur can play the one, but only the master organist can play the other satisfactorily. So in these times of highly developed social and relgious life it is difficult to live a full, rounded Christian Ufe. A company of people spread over a large area can get along comfortably well, but crowded into a small inclosure they will suffer em barrassment. They all have elbows, and where it Is ideal to march through life, touching elbow to elbow, it is not so comfortable when men are cramped and their elbows touch one another under the arms. Our whole social life is, therefore, a question of elbows This leads us naturally to the ques tion, How can life be lived so as to ful fill all these manifold relations The answer is fom?~l in the words of the text, "They helped every one his neigh bor and every one said to his brother, 'Be of good courage.'" I wish these words might be placed over the doors of every church. inscribed upon the walls of every place of worship and selected as a watchword for every charitable organization. What a chiangd world this would be if the sen timent of this text should go into effect to-morrow morning. The words sug gest to us two( ways by which we may administer the sacrament of service. Humanity is in constant need of help. The circle of suffering and misfortune is all the while changing. but it never happens to be empty. In spite of the fact that we are a rieu country and are living in times of plenty, there a.re children in every city in need of bread, and e'derly people in need of support and comfort, it is no disgrace to he poor on to be sick it we have done all in cur pov.'er to drive away the wolt from the door and hnat down the germs in our~ S::. J.esus was poor, inore so than th" foxes and the birds; Paul was poor. having few or no pos sessions but "t:he cloak and the parch ment:-' Pete'r w:as poor. "Silver and vold have I none." Poverty is no dis grace, unless it be the dregs of a wasted life- Wherever there is b'n ored poverty there should be generous b enevolence'.

"The house." rhe temple. "The waters." etc. The riatural fact on which this com-eption rests is this, that there wa a fountinu onnected with the temple hill, tin 6aters of which fell into the valey ast of the city, and made their way toward the sea. This was the only iatural fountain stream flowing from Terusalem. It was a small stream, those soft-flowing waters :!ere a eady regarded as a symbol of the si ent and unobtrusive influence of the livine presence in Israel (Isa. 8:6. fhe waters of this stream flowed east X:rd. but they were too scanty to have uny appreeI1ie e!feet on the fertility >f the region through which they >assd.

The Dead Sea has icome a sea of life. ~Out of dentli here arises, by the grace of God, a -ich life. The sea is a symbol of the vorld; accordingly men appear as the iving creatures In the sea, as the ishes. Hitherto they were only dead ishes, unspiritual. unsaved men. 10. In this verse we are told that the ishers shall stand fromf one end of the ca to the other and catch many fish. .1. The miry places and marshes shall iot be healed, but shall be given to alt. Those not reached by the healing vaters of the gospel th'rough their loth and earthly-mindedness are given ver to their own bitterness and bar-1 'enness. The gospel is the only heal-I ng medicine for the disorders of our 'allen nature, and ,*iey who will not eceive it in the love of it remain in !urable and are abandoned to finial uin. The salt comes into considera ion here, not as seasoning, but as the oe of fertility, life and prosperity. ['he thought is this: Only those who >ar themselves agairnst the gracious ;tream of divine love and are unwill ng to regain health are henceforth to 1 ) given over to the cirse, continuing exist as motnments thereof.

Besides the nourish ng fruits, therefore, are named also he healing leaves.

It Is not enough to say-even to >ne's self-that one has a certain vir ue. The only proof is the doing ci :he dee:s appropriate to that virtue. Words of sympathy are as good as eeds, but not unless the deeds go ith them. Faith and works are like two hu man beings born so closely joined to ether, like the Siamese twins, that Sither of them would be dead if seper Ite( from the other. It is easy to rest in belief. as if that vere a virtue. There is no virtue in nere belief. any more than there is a ouse in a foundation. Suggestions. There is nothing more practical han true religious meditation and rayer, because they always lead to eeds. We arc proud of those whom we all "practical men," but often their ractice is confined to the things that erish lihie a bubble. while the Chris Jan labors with eternal things. Illustrations. As ti'.' bicycle rider completes his >ractic, only when he can ride uncon ciously, so the Christian must prac ice his work for Christ until it be omes instinctive. Treat Christ's life as your copy. he scholar does not ask the teacher hy such and such letters appear in he copy, but repeats them over and er till they are learned.

THE IDE Shapes the Destiny of Healthy Woman Can Seven-eighths of the men in this world marry a woman because she is beautiful in their eyes because she has the quali ties which inipire admira tion, respect and love. There is a beauty in health which is more at tractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The inluence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world A S could never be measured. S Because of them me n have attained the very heights of ambition; because of them even thrones have been established and de stroyed. What a disappointment , then, to see the fair young wife's beauty fading away before a year passes over her head! Asickly, half dead-and-alive woman, especially when she is the mother of a family. is a damper to all joyous ness in the home, and a drag upon her husbaid. The cost of a wife's con- iS. stant illness is a serious drain upon the funds of a household, and too often all the doc toring does no good. If a woman finds her energies are - flagging, and that everything tires her, - dark shadows appear under her eyes. her sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams; if she has backache, head aches, bearing-down pains, nervous ness. whites. irregularities, or despon dencv. she should take means to build her system up at once by a tonic with speciuc powers. such as Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. This great remedy for women has done more in the way of restoring health to the women of America than all other medicines put together. It is the safeguard of woman's health. Following we publish, by request, a letter from a young wife.

An American schoolboy has written an essay on the "Merchant of Venice," full of original matter. This is his view of Portia: "Portia was a kind and true-hearted young lady; she was very good-natured, especially to some of her gentleman friends, when those young men was going to choose their coons." But the gem of the article relates to Shakespeare himself. "The sory was written by Shakespeare, who married Hiawatha. He was born in Venice, where he and the merchant shot arrows of the same fly when boys. It was here that he learned to season mercy with justice." Anne Hathaway turned into Hiawatha is a really interesting case of derangement. -London Chronicl.e. A WOMAN'S SUFFERIN~CS. Weak, Irregolar, Racked With Palns Made Well and 36 Pounds Heavier. Mrs. E.
