Rev. L. F. Beaty in the church conference
last Sunday, hit the nails square on the head,
drove them home, and clinched them on the
otherside. It is a singular tact that the truth
always hurts.
It is a lamentable fact that to notice how
Utile control parents have over their children
in ille Intter days, and still more sad to see
what little respect children have for the
wishes of tnelr parents. Children should remember
that oiten by their wilful and disobedient
conduct they largely desltyy the
usefulness of their parents who may occupy
perhaps worthy aud honorable positions in
church or State.
If you attend the ball or german remember
the eyes of the public are upon you, and they
will uotice 11' your conduct is consistent witli
yoursolmn vows at the altar of tlie church.
Yes, you have taken a solemn oalli; now
shall you keep It. like a true and faithful soldier
? or will you for want of moral courage
retreat your own words uttered before God
and man, und thereby bring stain upon your
fair Dame? and perhaps eternal death at last
to your soul. Tliiuk well before you act to
rashly.

"The times are sadly changed," ]
said a gentleman not long ago, wlioi
felt that every thinjr was >>oing wrong
and that he himself in particular was
being sadly neglected. "In what respent
do you lind them changed!
most?" he was asked by a friend.
' O that is plain," he said ; "no regard
is paid nowadays to people of quality."
"Well, lobe sure," said the
friend, "It isn't so much lhe people of
quality we pay attention to nowadays
as it is the quality of people."
Where the reut-day fixe J by a lease'
falls on Sunday the day is not counted,
and tendei of the rent on the following
day is a legal perform -.nee.
The la.v does not recognize Sunday as
a day for the transaction of ordinary
worldly affairs. It has no existence
in the legal calendar, in the computation
of time, when it happpens that
parties lmve agreed that certain acts
shall be performed on a day which,
perchance, falls on a Sunday.
The Church of to-day needs less autiquitv,
but more Gospel ; less ecclesiusticism
and ritualism, but more humility;
less literary, but more practical
work ; less dogmas, but more di|
vinity ; less drawing of Church lines
of denvircation, but greater liberality
and charity.

Well Dour, Mr. Maine.
Whatever else may come of the de- I
I liberations of the Pan-American Con- i'Jg
pros', the agreement arrived at to here- 'm
|after settle all national disputes bej
tween any two of the Republics of ;
North, South and Central America
and Hayti by arbitration will be es- -2p
teemed as more than justifying all the :
labor and expense that have attended '/jis
the sittings of the delegates. The only
exception from matters of dispute
I which must be arbitrated is in case a nation
may believe its iudei>eudeut existence
at stake, when arbitration may . '*33
be declined. The agreement of the ,'^j
Congress is at once binding upon all 1
the parties to it except the United
States, the as-ent of which will not -3
have been completed until after ratiflcation
by the Senate. The treaty is to . J?
remain in force twenty years after ratifications
shall have been exchanged.
After that time any nation dissatisfied
with its terms may withdraw upon one
year's notice.
This assurance of good understanding
among the States of America -*|ffp?|
I ought to have its effect in greatly re- ''&BL
ducing military and naval expend!tares.
It ought also to be an impressive
lesson for the older States ot Eu
rope, wnicn are wasting me resources x#a
of their people in maintaining vast ' 'ffia
military organ i/ations to insure peace
l?y perpetual readiness for war. An
agreement of the great Powers to arbitrate
their difficulties woUld be the "Isl
longest stride toward tlie millennium ' ;:JJ|
that* Christianized nations have ever
made.?Philadelphia Rccord.
The P..11-American A r hit rat ion Treaty.
The representatives of nine nations
have already (May 1) signed the Arbitration
Treaty, which was one of the IJH
most important fruits of the All-Ameiica
Conference, and the signatures of "".
three more arc promised. The only
difficulty liable to be experienced is >^??
with Chili and the Argentine llepub- ->r%4
lie. But even these two countries can ^
hardly hold out when arbitration has
been formally accepted as the governing
policy by all the remaining inde- .; ,38
pendent* Powers of the continent. -V*vsW
The treaty, when approved by the rep
reseu iiuives 01 uie uoiurauuiig oiaico, ,
will go to the seven! Governments for V^j r
ratification. The New York Tribune says:
"The United States*ami Brazil, i
having taken the initative, can impart
a powerful impulse to the inter- V-"?!
national movement by prompt and de- >..^3

Bushy head, the Cherokee chief, has r"is|

was one day met on the street by an

"Look here, Bushyhead," said the . v.J|

in Washington so long?"
"1 am here for my people," replied

"Why," said Uushyhead, "when we . o|g

Love comes and grows by serving.
If you find yourself linked with another
whom you do not like, and
whom you think you never could
love, rouse yourself up to do some- ./ijg
thing for him. Try to help . him
where he is iu need. Seek to win him ;JE
to the right where lie seems astray. : *j
Exercise some self-denial in his hehalf.
Whether this makes him like ..<4
you or not, it will give you kiifdlier .. ?J
feelings toward him ; and if you keep
ou doing for him, you may come to .^'*5
like him, if not to love him. Love
comes and grows by serving.
S. S. Times.
It is a foolish habit that some anxious
parents have of dissctrasing the
health of delicate children in the
children's presence. The Christian
Union-says : "A physician, speaking
out of a deep and practical mind : "If . ??
you hear a mother refer to her daughter
as nervous in the (laughter's presence,
if you cannot speak, glare at
her, but if you can speak say, "'Madam,
your conversation would make a
wooden girl nervous, to say nothing ' '*i
of a flesh and blooil young person like
your daughter."
