Enzineer Edward Hayer stated before he
died that he had seen that the rail? had been
loosened and turned so as to derail the train,
and. beine unable to stop in time, had tried
to 'umo the obstruction.
I There were $1,000,000 in Mexican sub?idiarv
bond?, consigned to the Mexican Central
offices in Boston, in th^ safe in the express
'car, and it was probably the mistaken impression
of the wreckers that the amount
was in currency that caused them to wreck
the train.

Harrison's sick wife, it was decided to remove
her to Washington.
At 11 o'clock a. m. Mrs. Hirrison's journey
was begun by her transfer to the long
mountain wagon by which she was conveyed
to the nearest railroad station, three
miles distant. '
* Four strong men carried her on a stretcher I
to the wagon. The President and Dr. Gardner
walked on either side, each holding one
of the patient's hands. The stretcher was
carefully placed in the wagon on a large and
comfortable cot. Dr. Gardner, the nurse,
and the President were the only other occupants
of the wagon except the driver. The
other members of the family followed in
tally-ho coaches and other vehicles.
The trip t roui the cottajre to the special
train in waitiag at Loon Like station was
successfully made. The horses proceeded at
a walk, and the wagon springs wer<j so perfectly
adjusted that the many rough spots in
the mountain road were scarcely felt by the
occupants. The wagon was carefully backed
up to the rear of the train, and willing
hands were found to assist the President and
Dr. Gardner in carrying the patient into the
car which hal been specially prepared for
her reception.
It was 12:15 o'clock when the train moved
slowly away on its long journey to the National
capital.
It was a Pennsylvania special anl was tin

It was a vestibule train, composed of tha

They were driven immediately to the main
entrance of the White House. Mrs. Harrison
was taken from the ambulance and carried
to her apartments on the second floor, accompanied
by the President and Dr. Gardner.

Sermon in London.)
Text: "2"he spider taketh hold with her
hands and is in kings' palaccs."?ProvI
erbs xxx., 3S.
Permitted a3 I was a few days ago to attend
the meeting of the British Scientific
Association at Edinburgh, I found that no
! paper read had excited more interest than
| that by Rev. Dr. McCook, of American, on
j the subject of spiders. It seems that my
talented countryman, banished from his
< pulpit for a short time by ill health, had in
the fields and forest given himself to the

neath the dignity of God to make spidere it
[ is not beneath the dignity of man to study
them.
' We are all watching for phenomena. A
pfey fu): of stars shining from January to
j January calls out not so many remaks as ttie
blazing of one meteor. A whole flock of
i robins take not so much of our attention as
j one blundering bat darting into the window
on a summer eve. Things of ordinary sound
and sight and occurrence fail to reach us.
! and yet no grasshopper ever springs, upon
""* no mnth pver dashes Into the
! evening candle, no mote ever floats in the
sunbeam that pours through the crack of the
window shutter, no barnacle on ship's hull,
| no burr on a chestnut, no limpet clinging to
arocr:, no rind of an artichoke but would
teach us a lesson if we were not so stupid.
God in His Bible sets forth for our consideration
the lily, and the snowflake, and the
locust, and the stork's nest, and ^the hina'9
foot, and the aurora borealis, and the ant
hills.
in mf text insniration ODens before us the
gate of a palace, and we are inducted amid
the pomp of the throne and the courtier,
and while we are looking around upon the
magnificence inspiration pointa us to a
spider plying its shuttle and weaving its net
on the wall. It does not call us to regard
the grand surroundings of the palace, but to
a solemn and earnest consideration of the
fact that "The spider taketh hold with her
hands and is ia kings' palaces."
It is not ?ery certain what was the particular
spscies of insect spoken of in the text,
but I shall proceed to learn from it the exquisiteness
of the divine mechanism. The
L-ino'c f?h?mhprlain comes into the palace
and looks around and sees the spider on the
wall and says, "Away with that intruder,"
and the servant of Solomon's palace comes
with bis broom and dashes down the insect,
saying, "What a loathsome thing it is."
But under the microscopic inspection I finl
it more wondrous of construction than the
embroideries on the palace wall and the up*
hclsterv about the windows.
All the machinery of the earth could not
make anything so delicate and beautiful as
the prehensile with which that spider
clutches its prey, or as any of its eight eyes.
We do not have to go so far up to see the
power of God in the tapestry Hanging
around the windows of heaven, 'or in the
horses or chariots of fir a with which the
dying day departs, or to look at the mountain
swinging out its sword arm from under
the mantle of darkness until it can strike
with its scimeter of the lightning.
I love better to study God in the shape of
a fly's wing, in the formation of a flsh'8
scale, in the snowy whiteness of a pond lily.
I love to track His footsteps in the mountain
moss, and to hear His voice in the hum
of the rye fields, and discover the rustle of
His robe of light in the south wind. Oh,
this wonder or divine power that can build a
habitation for God in an apple blossom, and
tune a bee's voice until it is flt for the eter
' 1 ?aam o flrnfltr
UfcU UfUiicawo, auu c**j w uuiv**/,
there be light;" and from holding an ocean
in the hollow of His hand, goes forth
to find heights and depths and length and
breadth of omnipotency in a dewdrop, and
dismounts from the chariot of midnight
hurricane to cross over on the suspension
bridge of a spider's web
You may take your telescope and sweep it
across the heavens in order to behold the
glory of God, but I shall take the leaf holdmg
the spider and the spider's web, and I
shall bring the microscope to my eye, and
while I gaze and look and study and am
confounded 1 will kneel down in the grass
and cry, "Great and marvelous are Thy
works, Lord God Almighty!"
Again, my ten teacaes me mat uiaiguiu*
cance is no excuse for inaction. This spidsr
that Solomon saw on the wall might nave
6aid: "I can't weave a web worthy of this
great palace; what can I do amia all this
gold embroidery? I am not able to make
anything fit for so grand a place, and so I
will not work my spinning jenny." Not so
eaid the spider. ''The spider taketh hold
with her hands." On, what a lesson that la
for you and met You say if you bad some
great sermon to preacb, if you only had a
great audience to talk to, if you had a great
army to marshal, if you only had a constitution
to write, if there was some
tremendous thing in the world for you to do
?then you would show us. Yes, you would

What if the Levita in the ancient temple
had refused to snuff the candle because he
could not be a high priest? What if the
humming bird should refuse to sing its songs
into the ear of the honeysuckle because it
cannot, like tae eagle, dash its wing into the
sun? What is the rainciroo should refuse to
* 5 ' - *- 2 - XT!
oescenu oecause it is uvi* a u?w
if the spider of the text should refuse to
move its shuttle because it cannot weave a
Solomon's robe? AWSy with such folly I If
Sou are lazv with the one talent, you would
e lazv with the ten talents. If Milo cannot
lift the calf he never will have strength
to lift the ox. In the Lord's army thero is
order for promotion, but you cannot be a
general until you have been a captain, a
lieutenant and a colonel. It is step by step,
it is inch by inch, it is stroke by stroke that
our Christian character is builded. Therefore
be content to do what God commands
you to do.
God is not ashamed to do small things. Ha
is not ashamed to be found chiseling a grain
or sand, or helping a honeybee to construct
its cell with mathematical accuracy, or
tingeing a shell in the surf, or shaping the
bill of a chaffinch. What GoJl does, Hedoes
well. What you do, do well, be it a great
work or a small work. If ten talent?, employ
all the ten. If five talents, employ all the
five. If one talent, employ the one. If only |
the thousandth part of a talent, employ
that. "Be thou faithful unto death, and I
will give thee the crown of life." I tell you if
you are not faithful to God in a small sphere,
you would be indolent and insignificant in a
large sphere.
Again, my text teaches me that repulsive- i
liess anu loamaomeness wm sometimes
climb up into very elevated places. You
would have tried to kill the spidf-r that Solomon
saw. You would have said: "This is
r.o place for it. If that spider is determined
to weave a web, let it do so down in the cellar
of this palace or in so-no darl: dungeon."
Ah! the spider of th? text could not be discouraged.
It clambered on ani climbed up,
higher and higher and higher, until after
awhile it reached the king"s vision, and he
,\l IITho V.~l,4
NllU, AUO O^/IUCl liA&Cba il^iu ? IULL. UUl
hands, and is in kings' palaces." And so it
often is now that things that are loathsome
and repulsive get up into very elevated
places.
The church of Christ, for instance, is a
palace. The King of heaven and earth lives
in it. According to the Bible, her beams
are of cedar, and her rafters of fir. and her
windows of"agate, "and the fountains of salvation
dash a rain of light. It is a glorious
palace?the church of God is, and yet sometimes
unseemly and loathsome thiugs creep
up into it?evil speaking and rancor and
slander and backbiting and abyse, crawling
up on the walls of the church, spinning a
web from arch to arch, and from the top of
one communion tankard to the top of another
communion tankard. Glorious palace
in which tivire ought only to ba light >
and love and pardon and grace; yet a spider
in the palace!
Home ought to be a castle. It ought to be
the residence of everything royal. Kindness,
love, peace, natience and forbearance
ought to be the princes residing there, and
yet sometimes dissipation crawls up into
that home, and the jealous eye come3 up,
and the scene of per.ce and plenty becomes
the scene of domestic jargon and dissonance.
You say, "What is the matter with the
house." I will tell you what is the matter
with it. A spider ia the palace.
A well developed Christian character Is a
grand thing to look at. Yon see some man
with great intellectual and spiritual proportions.
You say, "How useful that man
must be!" But yon And amid all his 'splendor
of faculties there is some prejudice,
some whim, some evil habit that a great
many people do not notice, bat that rou;
I nave Tisppenecr to' notice, and It is gradually
spoiling that man's character?it is gradually
going to injure his entire influence.
| Others may not see it, but you are anxious
in regard to his welfare, and now you discover
it. A dead fly in the ointment. A
spider in the palace.
Again* my text teaches me that perseverance
will mount into the king's palace. It
must have seemed a long distance for that
spider to climb in Solomon's splendid residence,
but it started at the very foot of the
wall and went up over the panels of Leba
non cedar, higher and higher, until it stood
higher than the highest throne in all the nations?the
throne of Solomon. And so God
has decreed it that many of those who are
down in the dust of sin and dishonor shall
gradually attain to the King's palace. We
see it in worldly things.
Who is that banker in Philadelphia?
Why, h9 used to be the boy that held the
horses of Stephen Girard while the million,
aire went in to collect his dividends. Arkwri^ht
toils on up from a barber shop un
til he pets into tfce palace ot invention.
Sextus V toils on up from the cfflce of a
swineherd until he pets into the palace of
Rome. Fletcher toils on ud from the most
insiarnificant family position until he gets
into the palace of Christian eloquence. Hogarth,
enzraving pewter pots for a living,
toils on up until he reaches the palace of
world renown? 1 art.
The spider crawling up the wall of Solomon's
palace was not worth looking after or
considering as compared with the fact that
we, wnoaro worm* 01 t-ne uusc, ma/ at ju?u
ascend into the palace of the King Immortal.
By the graca of God may we all reach
it. Oh. heaven is not a dull place. It i?
not a wornout mantlon, with failed curtains
and outlandish chairs and cracked ware.
No, it is as fresh and fair and beautiful as
though it were completed but yesterday.
ThekinRsof the earth shall bring their honor
and glory into it.
I do not know but that Christ referred to
the real juice of the grape when He said that
we should drink n?w wine in our Fathers
kingdom, but not the intoxicating stuff of
this world's brewing. I do not say it is so;
but I have as much right for thinking it is
so as you have for thinking the other way.
At any rate, it will be a glorious banquet.
Hark! the chariots rumbling in the distance,
I really believe the guests are coming now.
The gates swing open, the guests dismount,
the palace is filling, and all the chalices,
flashing with pearl >aud amethyst and I carbuncle,
are lifted to the lips of the myriad
banqueters, whilestanding in robes of snowy
white they drink to the honor of our glorious
King.
"Oh," you say. "that is too grand a place
for you and me." No, it is not. If p spider,
according to the text, could crawl up on the
wall of Solomon's palace, shall not our poor
souls, through the blood of Christ, mount
up from the depths of their sin and shame,

fourteen miles and see no sunlight. It
is a stupendous place. Some places the

echoes: cascades falling from invisible height
to invisible death. Stalagmites rising up
from the floor of the cave; salactites descending
from the roof :>? the cave, Joining

calcium light down into the caverns, and
the light rolls and tosses from rock to rook

that could have made sach a place as that.
A sense of suffocation comes upon you as
you think that you are two hundred and

IiCSPon Text: "Dorcas Raised to Life,"
Acts ix., 32-43?Golden Tex??
Acts lx., 30?Commentary.
.'52, "And it came to pass, as Peter passed
throughout all quarters, he came down also
to the saints which dwelt at Lydda," Believers
are called saints in the various
epistles (see Rom. i., 7; I Cor. i., 2, etc.,
oraittine the italics), because all who truly
receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour are in
Him washed, sancti6ed, justified, and He is
made unto them wisdom, righteousness,
sanctificatlon and redemption (I Cor. vi., 11;
J., 30; II Cor. v., 21).
Lyiida is between Jerusalem and Joppa,
about ten miles east ot' Joppa.
33. "And there he found a certain man
named ./Eneas, which bad kept his bed eight
years and was sick of the palsy.'' Jesus
healed those who had been eighteen and
thirty-eight years sick, and Peter had already
been the channel of health from Je?us
to one forty years afflicted (Luke xiii., 10;
John v., 5; Acts iv., 22), so that a sickness
which had lasted eight years would not
seem an insuperable difficulty to Peter or to
any one who believed (Jer. xxxii., 17; Mate,
xix., 26; xvii.. 20i.
34. "And Peter) said unto him, ^Eneas,
Jesus Christ maketh thee whota; arise and
make thy bed: and he arose immediately."
Compare iii., 6, 16, and iv., 10. The great
fact of our redemption is Jesus Christ risen
from the dead, and alive for evermore, hav
ing all power in heaven and on earth (Rev.
I., 18; Math, xxviii., 18). This was made
plain to Saul in the last lesson by the appearing
of Jesus to him, and is now made
plain to ./Eneas and to the people of Lydda
by this miracle.
35. "And all that dwelt at Lydda and
Baron saw him, and turned to the Lord.''
Note the expression "turning to the Lord"
in chapters xi., 21; xv., 19; xxvi., 20, and in
[ Thess. i., 9, see what it means turning
from. We aro all by nature turned from
Gk>d, and repentance is a turning to God, to
erva Him, an t wait for His Son from
aeaven (I Thess. i., 10). it more or tne power
and worts of the risen living Christ were
seen in us, there would be more sinners
turning to God, and the kingdom would be
greatly hastened.
86. "Now there was at Joppa a certain
disciple named Tahitha, which by interpretation
is called Dorcas. This woman was
full of good works and alms deeds which
the did." Both of the names of this woman
signify "a roo or hart or gazelle," and are
ndicative of swiftness. See I Chron. xii.,
3; Songs ii, 17; vili, 14. S&e believed
ibat the king's business required haste,
ind whatever was to be done should
be done quickly. She is called a disciple?i.
a taugnt or trained one. .a.w wuo truiy
receive Christ are holy in Him, but not all
iuch are willing to be trained by Him. All
true disciples or trained ones will, like
Dorcas, be full of good works (Eph. ii., 10;
Titus iii., 8; John xv., 8.)
87. *And it came to pass in those days
that she was sick and died, whom when ttiey
aad washed they laid her in an upper chamber."
No evil can befall a child ot God; not
>ven satan can lay a finger on such without
(rod's permission. Both sickness and death
may glorify God (John xi., 4, 14, 15) by giving
occasion for the display of His grace and

to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that
Peter was there, tbey sent unto him two

promptness, remember the significance of
Dorcas and prav for that quickness to respond
to the call of the Spirit which is here
suggested. It was a sal hou?e; th^sorrowing

forth except toe lather and mother and the
three with Hitn (Mark v., 40). Elijah and
Elisha were both a.one with toe dea i bodies
which they raised to life (I Kings xvii., 19;

WINE AND BEEB INCREASE.
According to a Government statistical abstract,
there has been a small per capita decline
in the consumption of distilled liquors
in this country sinca 1875. In 1875, when
the population was about 42,000,000, the aggregate
consumption of distilled liquors was
60,120,158 gallons; in 1891, with a population
of 64,000,000, the aggregate was 91,157,565
gallons; a per capita consumption of 1.50 in
1875, and of 1.42 gallons in 1891. The per
capita consumption of wine and beer, ao
cording to the same authority, has in the
same period largely increased. In 1875 the
wine consumption was 12,954,951 gallons; in
1890, 29,000,000 gallon?, of which 24,000,000
gallons were of domestic manufacture. The
hofir increase is still more striking. In 1875
the heir aggretate was 294,953,157 gallons;
in 1891 it was 977,479,761 gallons; a per capita
consumption of malt liquors in 1875 of
8.71 gallons; in 1891 of 15.?J5 gallons! The

VWO ILLUSTRATIONS.
The effects of license and prohibition are
clearly seen in two towns lying side by side
in our Empire State. The one is a city of
ten thousand inhabitants with ninety-nine
lic?rsed drinking places. It goes without
saying that poverty abounds and crime is
rite. The many manufactories render it
possible for each poor man to own his home.
Instead, in most cases, bis earnings go into
the rumseller's till, and the hearts of many
good citizens who love purity and temperance
are filled with sorrow and discouragement.
The other, a tillage of three thousand
five hundred inhabitants, has had no
license for fourteen year.->. The law is enforced.
It hai one of the finest Normal
Schools in the State. The building, costing
one hundred thousand dollars, was the gift
of citizens to the State.

A LESSON* FROM A PRIZE FIGHT.
The prize fight between Corbett and Sullivan
was, as all prize fights are, a brutal
affair; but if a valuable lesson can be extracted
from it, it seems to us well worth
while to extract it. Corbett, if not a total
abstainer, is the next thin^ to one. Sullivan
will not, we hope, be disposKi to knocfe us
out if we observe that be is not. Immediately
after the fight, when Corbett's
friends drank enthusiastically to his health,
be drank with them in a cup of milk. A
" ' J 1 1 1 ? ? * rfinr<o
menu woo liuu uui xui Juuu ,
liquor declared that for once he was going
to break his pledge, but Corbett is said to
have threatened never to speak to him again
if he did. The first thing Sullivan did after
he pulled himself together was to go on a
continuous jag, lasting until he was placed
on the homeward-bound train and his trainer
succeeded in seeing that the supply of liquor
ran out. The speech which his trainer made
to him on the train will not rank with one of
Deroosthenes's orations, but it had pith and
point to it nevertheless. He said :
"Boozj has brought you down to the levil
of a fourth-rate fighter from the top of the
ladder. Isn't that enough? You made a
game fight, and will have no trouble in
getting along if you let the bottle alone. If
vou keep on, though, you'll be a common
bum in six months."
Among those who took care of Corbett
during the fight was Mike Donovan, trainer
of the New York Athletic Club To a friend
of ours several years ago, in explaining why
he did not drink, Mike said: "Whisky takes
the heart out of a man." The strongest man

RELIGIOUS READING.
YOUNG CONVERTS HOLDING ON.
Very mucb depends upon starting right,
but the start is not the fini-h, and many that
make a most hopeful beginning come after
all to an ignominious end. The apostle
Paul, wilting to the Galatians, says: "Ye
did run well; who did hinder?" Something
hindered, and hence tbey halted who awhile
ago had been so eager in the race. There
are many things that hinder, as any pilgrim
?/. (. /-V,.* C^-m rtttlottiol stitw" Will vprv !
tiuu ovia uui. iui iuc Wivouuivivj ? -- j
soon discover.
Hun van's pilgrim sets out on a run. with
bis lingers thrust in his ears and shouting:
' Eternal life, eternal," at the top of his,
voice, but he bad not gone far before heplunged
into the "Slough of Despond/
where he wallowed in a fearful way. Many
never get any farther than the s'ough, una
they craw! out on the side on which *>bey
fall in and go back to ,4the weak and ba&garly
elements of the world." This, is the
crowning test of disciplesbip. "If ye-continue
in my word, then are ye disciples" indeed."
Almost anybody can make a spurt, but
only those who are soundly principled can
stand the long stretch of heroic effort.
"They that wait upon tne Loru snau renew
their sirength." and this language implies
that there la constant waste and wear and
tear, making constant renewal necessary;
and this is true alike of our physical and intellectual
and religious nature. "We need
perpetually fresh impulses of power or presently
we shall come to a dead stop. And
this is the meaning of that other Scripture:
"He hath saved us by the washing of regeneration,and
the renewing of the Holy Ghost."
The first refers to the change that is wrought
once for all, and the other to that constant
iyipartation of fresh grace and strength to
repair the loss of power that comes from
contact with the world; and this we must
have, and this we may have, if we will only
keep up our connection with our base of supplies.
"My grace is sufficient," saith the
Lord. Only let the golden pipes be unobsirn^tPil
nn'rf Hie crnce will flow steadilv in:
and steady flow is what we want. Enthusiasm
is peaceful, but "patient continuance is
well doing"?this, after all, is the thing that
wins.
To "mount upon wings as eagles" is doubtJess
very fine, but to "run and not be weary"
finer sti'll; while to "walk and not faiut" on
the long, Ions tramp is the highest of all
te^ts of true soldierly quality. There is no
"hurrah" about that. Beautiful and enjoyable
is the flush of feeling, but there will be
times when feeling is faint, and if we simply
"go by our feelings" we shall presently
cease to go at all.
In times of revival it is easy enough to be
religious, for the current sweeps powerfully
in the direction of religion, and even things
without life may be borne along by it. But
when the revival is over the current fets the
other way; then it takes life to stem it.
Not that all who temporarily lose their in
terest lose their souls, or are to be counted
as spurious professors because they do not
go constantly and rejoicingly forward.
Alas! who of us has not had bis "sad season
of declension? And after mountain-top ex{>eriences,

SENATOR COLQUITT'S IDEA OF WORSHIP.
What an idea we have nowadays of worship.
We sometimes think that churches are
only made for talking and preaching, that
they are only to be made comfortable and of
good acoustic properties, and that we are
doing our whole duty when we get thereat
11 o'clock on Sunday morning to hear the
preacher talk. Some of us nave an idea
fhat wo nra wnrahinlntr find wheil we Come
In on Sundav morning, all dressed in our
beet bibs and luckers, arid sit up and criticise
the preacher, never gettiDg on our
j knees to pray, but putting two fingers of a
tightly-gloved hand to one of our temples,
as if we were reflecting about something.
This is what some people
call church service. It's a mockery. In
the early days the service consisted of something
more than prophesying, which meant
preaching. The almsgiving was one of the
principalparts of it. The church, in order
to accomplish its work in missionary enterprises
or in anything else, must have services
different from those I have described. It
must be composed of warm-hearted, true
men and women. It must be active and
energetic, ani\ somebody besides the pastor
lias cot to do some of the work. Everv man,
woman an<j chUd jn the church has g yuty to
f*jerTorm. and these duties sliould not be ffpgected.
I believe as firmly as I believe anything
in the world that what this New Testament
*- ?? ' A?mrvhotii>ol(t* +1*110 T
says 13 lueiau; nuu cmpuuuuu.v ...v. believe
it is right when it tells us that it is
more blessed to give than to receive. Yet
the philosophy of today tenches that it is
blessed to get all you can and keep all you
get. Ta!k about the teachings of the skeptics
and infidels. I believe this doubting of
one of God's fundamental laws is the cause
of more skepticism than all their teachings
combined. There is really no true happiness
in this world for the man who doesn't
feel, for his neighbor. The man who lives a
life so narrow that he can think of no one
but himsolf, that he can see no one's needs
but his own, who enn think of only what
hr> fan cret. can find no real happiness in this
world, and it's doubtful if be will get any in
the next.?[Baltimore Sun.
| TRUE GREATNISS.
The greatest man is he who serve3 the
greatest cumber of his fellow-men iu the
best manner. The man who seeks to make
others serve him is not a great' but a small
man. lie who tries to elevate himself by
bringing others down is the smallest and
worst man. "Whosoever of you will be the
i rhiefest. shall be the servant of all," is the
rule of greatness as laid down by the
Saviour. This service is not to be a menial
servility required by the command of authority
of the one served. It is free in its
exercise and its reception.
It cannot be required or given under compulsion.
The ministration of love is limited
only by tbe ability of the one exercising it,
II is not bounded by tbe narrow lines of a
certain party to which one belongs. It is
the same principle which in the Father of
All reaches to every one of his creatures.
In him it is un.imited, because he is able to
extend his benefits to all. In finite beings
tbe same kind of love may exist, but it will
necessarily be limited.
m,nnnt )>!<>?? fviTv human be
ingwith our ministrations, we may extend
our eood works to more than we often
think. We can help very many if we only
try. We need not do much to any, ana
therefore be able to do a little for many.
But if it is necessary that we do all for one,
or for a few, and nothinz therefore for
ethers, we are none the less dutiful for so
limiting our ministrations in extent if we
do not limit in amount.
But let us not forget God's rule of greatness
and seek ourjrreatness in servinsr others rather
than requiring others to serve us. "For the
Son of man catne not to he ministered unto,
but to minister, and to give his life arausom
for many."
PRAYER.
"There is no way." said the late Dr.
j Alexander, ''in which we can more surely
increase mutual love than by praying for
one another. If you would retain warmth
of affection for an absent friend, pray for
him. If you would live in the regarus of another,
beseech him to prav for you. If you
would conquer enmity in your own soul
toward one who has wronged you, prav for
him. Dissension or coldness can not abide
between those who bear each other to God's
throne in supplication. It is what we meet
to do in family worship.
''Often has the tenderness of a half-dying
attachment been renewed and made young
again, when the parties have found 'themselves
kneeling before the mercy-seat.
Everything connected with such utterance
nf nmhifll cnnil-wi!l in the domestic worship
tends to foster it. and thus the daily prayers
are as the dews of heaven."

As soon as sweetbreads come from!

Parboil the sweetbreads in this for fifteen
minutes if tliey are to be creamed,;
