A (irt'iit .Milkman.
Berlin has a great milkman of whon
an interesting account is given in th?
Chautauquan. Fourteen years agi
Herr Bolle, a poor German peasant
came to Berliu with two cows and be
gan selling pure milk. He met witl
success at once, aud today his establish
went is the largest iu Berlin and oik
of the largest in the world. His cart
are greeted familiarly by the people
"Here comes Bolle." One thousam
men and sixty women are employe<
by him. In the place of two wagon
there are now two hundred ; and on'
hundred and fifty horses.
The milk of fifteen hundred cows i
used, from sixty to seventy thousan<
liters being delivered daily. In hi
buildings and grouuds the most im
maculate cleanliness prevails. In on
department the milk is steriized, ii
another the pure sugar is extracted, ti
be used for babies' food. So great i
the care, that a baby who begins witl
either morning, nuou, or evening milk
receives the same always?every one o
the innumerable customers reeeiviiij
individual care.
The milk is poured iuto compart
ments of the spotless carts, which ar
then locked, and the milk drawn of
through faucets, to prevent the pos
Nihility of adulteration by any dishou
est carrier.
The scrupulous eare extends even b
the homes of the employes, for whon
nurses are provided in illness, whil
schools, luills, fresh-air funds and S'
ou, are organized and sustained by th
wise fore-thought and benevolence o
Herr Bolle. The very clothes worn b;
employes are washed in a model laun
dry on the grounds.
Herr Bolle is now more than eight;
years old, a very short, white hairei
man. His whole success has beei
owing so the same honest and cleai
headedness which led him, a poo
peasant, to take his cows to the grea
capital of Germany and sell "pur
milk" in defiance of establised custom
What I'au (lie Utile One* I>??
A great many entertain the idea tha
the little ones can do nothing towar
saving the world. That is as great
mistake as to think that they cantio
accept Christ until they are grown.
In one of my children's meetings
requested each one whose papa wa
not a Christian to go home and to pu
his arms about his neck, and usk hin
to become a Christian, and have fami
ly prayers. Several little hands wen
up- in response to the request; bu
many of the older people supposed i
only children's play.
Two or three nights afterward a ma
came forward, completely broke
down with his burden of sin, and ws
happily converted. In relating liise?
perience as to what brought him t
Christ, be said that his little boy cam
home from that children's meeting
climbed on bis knee, and with his li
tie arms about his neck, said, 'Taps
won't you be a Christian, too?
"That," said he, "broke my stubbor
heart, and I yielded." "Who bat
despised the day of small things?
(Zechariah iv., 10.)?The Watchword
First lady : "I saw your husban

To marry your ideal woman may be !
all very well, but you will have to
live with a real one. Good health, a
good disposition, industrious habits. t
and prudent management will do f
more to insure your conjugal happi- !
ness than all tlie sentimental excellencies
in the realm of imagination.
Young man, instead of spending .
hours in picturing an ideal, make your .
own disposition agreeable, your own
manners gentle and refined, studying
to correct all conceit, and thus fitting .
yourself to make an honest and virtu- :
ous woman happy.
"I)o not expect immediate resuls. ]
Immediate results are not worth work- s
ing for. History is long, and it is;{
slow ; but the clock keeps ticking and j (
the brook keeps (lowing. Do some- j
thing, and do it on a straight line, and *
if you do not last to finish it, ( Jod will! <
top it out or get somebody to. Very ! >
likely your own inspired life and in-!'
spiring activity will- be just the in-! <
lluence that wiil create the discipleship 1 _
and take up the work where, at death,: i
* you lay it down, and carry toward j *
completion the enterprise which you J

The Illi'Nsius; at tlic Table.
The blessing at the table has much j
,o commend it?the example of Christ,
lie necessity of cultivating household i
eligion, and the sense of gratitude for 1
nercies received. It is a small fea- !
,ure of our domestic life, though euering
}iotentially into it. In many
louseholds it is omitted altogether,
iither from ditlidence or indifl'erence,
except when a visiting minister is beng
entertained. Around some tables
t is a form injected irreverently into
lie clatter of dishes and the chatter of
ungues, a sort of empty phrase which
propriety demnm.s. Sometimes with
in excess 01 y.eai n uecoiues a mugIrawn-out
]>etition testing the nerves
and the necks) of the little ones.
Many seeing the abuse of this ordinmee
have been led to ask what good it
loes. Do we say it lest otherwise there
nay be "death in the pot?" I)o we
itter it asapietistie formula? What
lo we mean by "asking the blessing?"
To say "grace at the table," then, is,
n a word, a momentary turning of the
spirit heavenward in prayer and praise.
It means, lirst of all, thankfuluess for
lie mercies spread before us. and for
,he unnumbered bene tils of which
hey are the representative. It means
i fresh emphasip of the truth, which
ive are prone to forget, that all our
jle>sings How from the "goodness of
Liod," and are designed to "lead us to
repentance." It means the ceaseless
recognition of the fact that the
itrength which our "daily bread" affords
should be spent in service for the
kingdom. It means that the ChrisJan
would see iu the provision of bread
statedly supplied a constant reminder
)f the "true Bread." It means the
iarnest petition that iu everything we
lo, "whither we eat or drink," we
may glorify Clod. It means a renewed
dHrmatiou that we believe in the
luty, dignity and tiie potency of
'amity religion. Ought not an ordinince
that suggests all this to beearnesty
and heartly enshrined in Christian
liomes ?
DrnnltnnlN* o Vntlf CUUU11 f i 1
principles should regulate our manner
)f "giving of thauks" at the table?sincerity,
brevity, variety on the part of
hose who ask the blessing and unit}'
>f sentiment on the part of all who are
jresent. The last may be secured impressively
by the general response
'Amen" at the close of the uttered
>rayer. As for variety?an i nportant
hing to seek?this may be obtained in
nany ways. The contents as well as
he form of the prayer may be changfd.
The blessing may beasked silenty,
as the friends do who simply bow
he heads in quiet petition, or it may
je said in concert, or it may be sung
vith fine effect. If one acts for all in
n saving grace, it need not always be
he same person who voices the generil
thanksgiving. The consecrated ingenuity
of the readers of this article
vill devise other ways, if necessary, in
vhicb to vary the manner of "asking
he blessiug."

Church Choirs.
It is marvelous that church choirs
levelon jealousies, and take liberties in
he sanctuary that would not be toleraed
in others. It is even more marvel>iis
that churches will sufler the irreli>us
and worldly to do the singing of
be sanctuary. It is a travesty that
>orderson sacrilege to have the hymns
>f the church sung by those who are
itterly indifferent to the sacred teachngs
they contain. The ambitiou to
ill the church with people who care
lothing for religion, and would not
:ome except for the music of an esthete
and worldly choir cannot be com
nended as wise. We are not opposed
o church choirs. We favor them, enlorse
them ; hut we are not in favor of
unploying worldlyminded and godless
ingers. It is a shameless iuconsisten:y.
Better he without a choir than
lave one that misbehaves in the
:uurch and has no respect for religion.
*Ve would have no choir singers who
ire not professed Christians. We'!
vould insist on dismissing any mem>er
of a choir whose behavior brought
liscredit upon the church. We would !
iromptly discourage all selections that
vere not consistent with the spirit of i
eligious service. We would insist up- 1
>n all the people taking an earnest ,
>art in the song service of the church.

If a man is false to the feeblest con- :
,'iclion that lie has in regard to the
imallest duty, lie is a worse man all
>ver ever after. We cannot neglect any
ionviution of what we ought to do
vithout lowering the whole tone of
?ur characters and laying ourselves ,
pen to assaults of evil from which we
vonld once have turned, shuddering
ind disgusted. A partial thaw is gentrally
followed by in tenser frost. An
ibortive insurrection is sure to issue to
n a more grinding tyranny. A soul
lalf melted and then cooled ofl'is less
asy to melt than it was before. And
o,dear brethren, remember this that
f you do not swiftly and fully carry .
nto life ami conduct whatsoever you
iiiow you ought to lie or do, you canlot
set a limit to what, some time or
ither, ifa strong and sudden tempta- l
ion is sprung upon you, you may belotne.

True repentance consists in the heart
being broken for sin and broken from
xin. Some often repent, yet never
reform ; they resemble a man traveling
in a dangerous path, who frequently
starts and stops, but never

No sane man can deny that, as;
Nation, we are in a bad way?genera
depression, in business, great linanciu
stringency, vast numbers of our pe<i
pie without the necessaries of, life t
say nothing of the luxuries. As
State the outlook is extremely gloom}
Dark clouds hover over us. "Whu
shall we do?" is heard on ever
hand. As a denomination, we hav
been hard pressed and still the wor
is far short of the demand. Our board
are all in debt, the great mass of on
rural population are hard pressed t
live ; before us perhaps smaller coi
trfbutions for the next year. The on
look is gloomy. What shall we do
We ctn't retreat.
Why is all this? In one word, sii
What is the remedy? Confess ou
sins and turn to the Lord ; humbly r<

spend one day in fasting and prayer i
our Heavenly Father that he woul
lift the dark clouds which hover ovt

Heaven is a state and also a plac

and He went away to prepare a pl.u

Christ did not die for the spirit aloni

There will be a place for spirits
spirits want a place ; but He has goi

The old preachers set great store t
the doctrine of repentance. The
rated high the Gospel plowman wL
excelled in sui>soiling. Rejoicing i
powerful conversions, they watcht
anxiously for signs of powerful coi
viclious. They were encouraged ?L
strong crying and tears and agotiiziu<
of soul. They were uot oyer anxioi
to lead a sinner to Christ until he con]
come all broken up because of the sit
he had committed against his Lor<
Perhaps they sometimes insisted o
too much, but our present concern
that tn-day we are insisting on too li
| tie. Certainly, we hear little of repen
ance?as our fathers understood itnowadays.
There is a popular do<
I trine of "quit your meanness," whic
masquerades around under tlie nan
of repentance, but it is not repeutauci
The fact that the robbers on tb
Jcrieho road "quit their meanness
when their victim was only half dea
is no evidence that they repeute<
One of the most serious obstacles I
the progress of the Church to-day
the large aud growing class of men
bers in it who simply "quit the
meanne&s" and gave their hand to tl
preacher, with the determination tin
if the Lord would not mention the pas
they wouldu't either.

Webb, the celebrated walker wh
was remarkable for vigor of body an

was one day recommending his reg

urged him with great earnestness 1

health and talent would he equally d<

"By degrees!" exclaimed Webb wit
indignation. "If you should unhapp
