; rV . What Others Say. A Talent for Appreciation. It i9 a great thing to have a talent for appreciation. He can do much good in the world who recognizes the good other people are doing, and tells tliem or it. i\iore ioiks man musi. imagine'are getting weary and downhearted because they seein to accomplish nothing. They will be wonder- i fully cheered and brightened by being assured of the contrary. Ministers ought to be told if they do anybody good by their words. It will not hurt them at all. School teachers need this sort of encouragement from parents. Children would be the better if they had more of it. Servants often suffer for lack of it. Some people are perpetually depreciating the work that is done for them, noting carefully all the evil there is in others aud all ~ * " * ? j ~ the defects; m wnac mey un. nuuu people are a curse. Let us watch for the good in oue auother, and not be backward ^in mentioning it. What a different place this world would be, how much sunnier, if this talent for appreciation were constantly cultivated!?Zion's Herald. The brains of the statesman, the minister, theliterateur, the physician, the merchant, the housewife and the child are in the keeping of the cook. The peevishness, bitterness and unreliability that characterize many Christians are not traceable directly to remaining depravity, but to unwholesome cookery."?New York Advocate. Had a Church editor put iu print such sensible sentences a quarter of a century ago, he would have been set down as ''lacking in spirituality"?that's the net criticism of the dullard or the r snarling cur. We recall an utterance of the late Dr. John E. Edwards, "that some saints needed calomel more than pastoral calls." It shocked a number of peevish disciples with furred and bitter tongues. Bishop Keener said too late "that Jesus came to put common sense in religion."J^He ought tb have said it fifty years ago, but it would have jeopardized his chance for the Bishopric.?Richmond Ch. Ad. Murder Encoaraged and then Punished. Rev. E. C. Sweetser says : "Society upholds the liquor traffic, and this causes nine-tenths of all murders committed. And when a man, inflamed with the drink society has offered to him, lifts up his murderous hand against a neighbor, the same society raises up wrath against him aud hangs him by the neck until he is dead, after having sent a priest or clergyman to sit up with him and pray with him and commend his departing soul to k' God. There is as much need for priests to pray with society itself. Tt needs conversion no less than the criminal. I would abolish the death penalty, abolish the liquor shops, abolish the establishments that publish inflammato ry literature. The convicted murderer should be imprisoned for life, and treated in a Christian way. In'short, instead of recompensing evil to murderers, I would endeavor to overcome evil with good." The Yellow Back Novel the Cause. In an article in the North American Keview for November, entitled "Highwaymen of the Railroad," by William A. Pinkerton, the great detective, the writer says concerning the modern train-robbing epidemic: "It is largely due to the general busiuess depression and to the the reading of yellow-covered novels by country lads, ? U tkna K/tAAivta inHoniDrl W LiUOC 1UU1U9 IIJUS UCWUJC luuuiuvu, making theru easy victims of professional thieves who invite them to join their schemes. Once a boy starts as an amateur, he is likely to become infatuated with the work, and he then sticks to it until he is imprisoned or killed."?Texas Advocate. When Christian colleges endorse football, which develops the brute in twenty-two young men, it is time to be silent about two brutes in the prize ring, or in the struggle for speed between two or more noble animals on the race track. Fljf? and TbimieN. (From the Ram's Horn.) The man who agrees with us doesn't come around near often enough. No matter where a good man live9, his house is always built on a rock. No man can succeed in being happy without asking God to tell him how. Sin got a foothold in this world by making itself look harmless and little. A prudent man doesn't tell everything he knows every time he opens his mouth. If the Lord could trust his people with money, every Christian would own a bank. No field of wheat ever ripens that does not have a good deal of straw and husk in it. Seek happiness for yourself and you will lose it, out seek it for others and you will find it. ?Let honesty be as the breath of thy soul, and never forget to have a penny when all thy expenses are enumerated and paid; then shalt thou reach the point of happiness, and independence shall be thy shield and buckler, thy helmet and crown ; then shall thy soul walk upright, nor stoop to the silken wretcb because ne natn ; riches, nor pocket an abuse because I the hand which offers it wears a ring set with diamonds. t m | As the shadow of the sun is largest! when his beams are lowest, so we are' always least when we make ourselves; the greatest. It is certainly unlucky to have thirteen at table when there is only diu-j ner euough for twelve. ORIGIN OF PEACE SOCIETIES. Principles ami Purposes of Tlielr Formation. BY I?J< \V. K. DARBY. A Paper read at the Chicago Peace Congress, 1898.) (Part Third) ' Declare that they regard it as a duty to defend and to propagate, to the best of their ability, those great principles of mutal lespect which ought to be the coummou charier of the hurnau race; "And with this view, they do herei by constitute themselves a Committee for the organization of an International and Permanent League of Peace." This declaration formed of model of some of the later !->oeienes. neer \ uu Eck, for instance, writing to Mr. H. Kichard from the Hague, announcing the formation of the Dutch Peace Society, which is still in active operation says, in October, 1870, "We have adopted a basis similar to that of the first Committee of the Paris League of 18U7, and sliall include in our ranks persons of each of the political parties and also members of the several religious denominations, whether Protestant, Catholic or Jewish." Thus the Paris League of 1807 became the type of another section of the Peace Army. Its principles differed widely from those of the older Societies though equally with them its purpose was Peace, and It was always in close alliance with them and moved largely on the same lines. A still wider departure was made in the formation of the International League of Peace and Liberty, at Genevain the same year-a departure so great as to create some misgivings on the part of others already associated tho movement. Dnriner the twenty-five years ot its history, this Society has done yeoman service in the Peace cause, and, under its genial, and noble hearted Founder and President. M. Charles Lemonnier, to the wide cause of human freedom. But the advanced political opinions of the League, its qualified endorsement of war, emphasised by the fact that General Garibaldi presided at the Congress by which it was constituted and that its avowed object to substitute a national militia for a standing army, was sufficeint to awaken some hesitation, especially on the part of those who objected to war itself, and not to the mere means or form of orgauisatiou by which war was to be waged. Accordingly, we find M. Passy declaring, on behalf of his Society, ''There has never been between the Peace League, established in Paris by a certain number of individuals whose names have been published, and the Congress of Geneva, held later in that city, any sort of solidarity. We franklv confess we do not understand Peace as those of Geneva appear to view it and that we desire it iu the means used as well as in the ends." An official statement made on behalf of the League expresses its principles and purposes thus: "The great object of the League was universal Peace; and the only means of acquiring it was to establish an iuter-commuuication of feelings between the different peoples, and afterwards to secure to them the means of averting any wars which would not result iu general good. All they desired wasto show to the world that there was a way for establishing good Governments and universal friendship throughout Europe." In this object of the League, all can surely join ; and, speaking in one of the greai cities of the United States of America, I may be pardoned if I express the devout aspiration that some of us may live to see the attainment of its great .idea as one ot the surest guarantees of Peace in the creation of "the united Slates of Europe." T o< I?nn lo hftth norfillt. Ollfl tvnp ? Li C UWqUV WV til J/MI vu v ???V. | of another very large part of our Peace forces. A branch of the League of Peace and Liberty was formed in London in December, 1868, by Mr. Cremer ami others. This was followed in July. 1870, by the same pesous and, therefore, on the same lines, of the Workmen's Peace Association, now designated the International Arbitration League, which is one of the principal British Societies, and of which Mr.* Cremrr is still the able and indefatigable Secre tary. The other of the chief Societies is "The International Arbitration and Peace Association," which is the type of the more recent European Societies, and the parent of many of them. The chief Durnoses of the Association are declared to be "1. To create, educate, and orgauise public opinion thougbout Europe, in favour of the substitution of Arbitration for War. "2. To promote a bettar understanding and more friendly feeling between tbe citizens of differen nations. "3. To correct erroneous statements in tbe public press or in parliaments on International questions." Our revered and honoured friend, Mr. Hodgson Pratt, whose absence we all deplore to-day, who has been the spokesman and soul and working right hand of the Society, tb us expresses the faith that is in him and in it: "I shall now be asked, What is my conclusion? Where is my hope of Peace ? I say at once "In the growth and development and organisation of the Democracy in all countries. "In organising close international rn In f i Afi u liatiiruon f ho T^u*vi Annminu i^iaiiuiio uciwct 11 biic iy^iiiwviav/ic?* 4,In the fratik recognitiou of all just claim on the part of other natious, aud in proposing Arbitration if dillerences arise.

"By a more considerate, fair, and honourable treatment of foreign nations by our newspapers." The actions of this life shall be the fate of the next. The religion of Christ does everything for man that he cannot do for himt-elt. The only way by which love can be measured is by what it is willing to suffer. Lack of fear does not always mean couraee. It may mean a lack of knowlege. One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning. There is no flower in the field that nwpct tn mnr-h tn the mm uu T fin tr> Jesus Christ. That love which has redeemed my soul 1 fain would bear as an atmosphere, "speaking tbe truth in iove. Perfect love casts out fear, for it establishes such a relation to (Jod that we are sure that he will always be with us, to provide for and to save us.

That turnips boiled like beets, with their jackets on, are of abetter flavor I aud less watery. A small bit of sugar added wbile the vegetable is boihug coriects the bitterness often found in them. That one of the greatest conveniences a kitchen can have is a flap table, which when not in use can be folded up and fastened against the wall. That lampwicks should have the charred part rubbed off with a rag kept for that purpose. They sboul very seldom be cut. That much of the heavy cake and bread is the result of the oven door being banged in closing. It should be closed as gently as possible. That butter put in clean pots and well surrounded with charcoal will keep good for several months. Evil Thoughts. How shall we avoid evil thoughts ? First, by the fear of God?an awful ' * is?2 ry ~ a lllOUgni : A I1VIIJ? VJUU, lUUUltcijr pure, is couscious of your contaminated thoughts. * * * Love and hope will keep us strong against passion an, they kept our Saviour strong in suffering, "who for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame." Secondly, by the promises of God. Think of what you are?a child of God, an heir of heaven. Rralize the grandeur of saintliness, and you will shrink from degrading your soul and debasing your spirit. It is in leading saintly lives that we are ashamed of groveling desires. * * * Seek exercise and occupation; * * * commit to memory passages of Scripture. Let him store his mind with these as safeguards. Let these be to him the sword, turning everywhere to keep the way of the garden of life from tlie intrusion 01 proiauer footsteps.?F. W. Robertson, D.
