Schroeder, John Furman Schroeder, aged 9 years. He had been sick about three weeks with typhoid (ever that baffled the skill of the ablest physicians and mocked at the prayers and tears of loved ones aDd friends. The deceased was a kind hearted boy and his mother's idol. He bad many fiiends who will miss him in his Sabbath school. It Is sad for a child to die, and bis parents have the sympathy of their many friends. Cut down when the beam of love Was lingering on his face. Cut down wiih a gentle heart, Filled with truth and grace. Water works in your bouse. C. P. Hammond is prepared now to do your work promptly. See him. Bruce'B resturant is up to date with something good to eat. Every boy and every girl should learn this important lesson?the value of time. In after years habits of promptness will be their own best reward. This story illustrates the point: One morniug when Benjamin Frank1 i r* nroo Kiiuu In tha nroQQ rnnm r\f hia newspaper, c. longer stepped into the book-store and spent an hour or more looking over the books. Finally he seemed to settle upon one and asked the clerk the price. "One dollar," the clerk replied. 'One dollar," echoed the lounger. "Can't you take less than that?" "One dollar is the price," the clerk answered. The would be purchaser looked over the books awhile louger, and inquired : "Is Mr. Franklin in ?" "Yes, he's busy in the printing oftlce," the clerk replied. "Well. I want to see him," said the man. The clerk told Mr. Franklin that a gentleman was in the store, waiting to see him. Franklin soon appeared, and the stranger said : "What is the lowest, Mr. Franklin, that you can take for that book?" "Une uonar anu a quarter," was me prompt and decisive answer. "One dollar and a quarter! Why your clerk only asked me a dollar just now." ' True," replied Mr. Franklin, "and I could have better afforded to take a dollar thau leave my work." The mau seemed surprised, aud wishing to end a parley of his own seeking, said: "Well, come now, tell your lowest for this book." "One dollar and a half." "A dollar and half!" Why, you offered it to me yourself for a dollar and a quarter." "Yes," said Mr. Franklin coolly; "and I had better have taken the price then than to take even a dollar and a half now." Without a word he laid the money on the counter, took the book, and left the store. A single bitter word may disquiet an entire familv for a wholedav : one sur | ly glance casts a gloom over the household, while a smile, like a gleam of I sunshine, may light up the darkest and ! weariest hours. Like unexpected I flowers which spring up along our I path, lull of freshness, fragrance and : beauty, so kind words and gentle acts | and sweet dispositions make glad the i sacred spot called home. No matter j how humble the abode, if it be sweetj ened with kindness and smiles, the I heart will turn lovingly towards it I from all the tumults of the world, and ! home, if it be ever so homely, will be 1 the dearest spot beneatn the circuit of j the sun. The words of God's Book have laiaomiesH weauiug, .yrt a uuuu iua; learn them and part of the truth they : hold. After years unfold layer after j layer rn the exhausless mind. Therej fore, teach the words of Scripture to [ the tenderest little one. Peace is the proper result of the ! Christian temper. It is the greatest kindness which our religion doth give us, that it brings us, settledness of mind and consistency within ourselves. 4 LOCAL AND SPECIAL.

There is perhaps no greater obstacle to intellectual, social, and religious progress than prejudice. It no aoubt has it its uses as a conservative force, in pree venting the human race from going off ie at a tangent at a reckless rate, but on e- the whole it is an obstacle, not to say an enemy to progress in all departments of human development. The ie word implies prejudging without a ijb hearing. It is a prepossessed state of :e mind in which there is a strong bias o, in a given direction without, as a rule, having looked at all sides of tbe case. ,e It is a state of mind in which we >e are not open to arguments wincn threaten or tend to change our opinion. a. The prejudiced mind has formed an ld opinion, which it hold9 as final and conclusive, and which it would be sacrilege, therefore, to alter or modify. ,e Prejudice'is therefore, the child of 10 self-imposed ignorance. It is usually strongest where the mind is weak and w narrow, yet it always poses in the garb of reason, and assumes the serious mien of thoughtfulness. Prejudice may be honest, but as a rule it is disss honeat. Some one has said : "Preprejudice squints when it looks, and n lies when it talks." A prejudiced mind is usually buried in its own conclusions, deaf to all contrary argun ment, blind to all further light, j impervous to all entreaty. It lives in j l the atmosphere oI egotism, assumes to l6 know all that may be known on the d subject, and arrogates to itself a o monopoly of superior wisdom. A prejudiced man can never see any 0 - - * :~i l: reason lur itsvisiug uio upiuiuug. ie As a rule prejudice lives in the past, i e though it is not the eoclusive vice ot r- the aged. It is extremely pessimistic. f- as to the methods and tendencies of1 lt the present. Its paradise has been left l- behind. It looks at the world of today. with the ejes of half a century ago. It takes no note of progress. To t- its point of view all progress is backy ward. The old times were the best. The old ways were the best. These people are out of touch with the age in which they live, out of sympathy with d the living, throbbing, pulsing, upliftii ing present. Prejudiced people are re usually convinced by choice that the world at present is going to the bad, it and that the Church is retrograding a- because she is now and then adopting j. new methods of work, organizing new it- forces, ultilizihg hitherto latent resouri ceB of power. Not only has prejudice harassed id progress in the world of thought, but the religious world suffers untold ie harm from it. Many a splendidly conceived and timely enterprise of the Church has been thwarted by unreas oning prejudice. Some religious >n minds are so constituted that they -1- look askance at everything n<ew. Any new departure in methods of Church work is looked upon with suspicion. 3- New organizations called forth by the llt exigencies of the time, and growing naturally out of the developments of at Church life, are stigmatized as wicked because they are new, and if these croakers who have not kept step with the march of events could have their J9 way the world would soon stop movo{ ing. Advocates of new ways of doing things are branded as heretics, traitors, 03 dangerous persons. The wheels of progress are clogged by prejudices of bygone years. It takes much ChrisQt tian patience and grace to combat m prejuidice. Sometimes it takes a dash e- of courage to break the lines of opposiat tion, especially when the opposition, rt arises from pious prejudice, and prejuC. dice in relrgious matters is always Q* pious. In fact it is often a case of being "religious overmuch." It often degenerates into a sort of pious pedantle ry, which cloaks itself in spiritual - pride. Pharisaical self-righteousness b. in in such cases the very bulwark of r. the prejudice. Disregard for its narrow notions is branded as rank beresy ai and a sure sign of an unregenerate. in wicked heart. Many a good nhing has been crippled and crused by the power of prejudice. IQ Such an attitude and state of mind y. is utterly unchristian. Instead of beic ing a Christian virtue, it is a detestable vice. It needs to be rooted out by the p. grace of God. The prejudiced mind is needs to unbend under the warming Lo broadening Influence of the love of a God. To be a true Christian is to be progressive, honest, open to convicf' tiou. The true diciple of Jesus opens ,o the windows of his soul to all the light there is in God's boundless skies, and seeks to keep step with God's conquering hosts. From prejudice and all narrow-minded bigotry, good Lord, deliver us. +? ? y :e In these days of hurry and bustle we v find ourselves face to face with a terrije ble danger, and it is this: natime to be alone with God. The world, in these it last days, is running fast; we live in 1 U?4- QAO nPAffPOflfl J" WLlttL ID UtllCU iuv <*?<- v. ,dl and "you know we must keep pace Id with the times." So the world says. ? But this spirit of the world has not y confined, itself to the world. It is, it ala3! to be found among the saints of y God. And what is the result? The ~ result is, no time to be alone with God, and this is immediately followed by no inclination to be alone with al God. . : This "desert life," as many may call it, is of an importance that cannot be overvalued. Let us turn to the of God's Book. On scanning its precious pages we find that the men of ie God?God's mighty men?were those ti- wno had been in "the school of God," ts as it has well been said ; and his a school was simply this?"in the desert alone with himself." It was there they goi. their teaching. Far removed from the din and bustle of the haunts /lioj-oni- olitra frnm hnrrmn pvi* JO UI LLlCtl UIOMUU uiiny ixw*** u M ? ^ and eai?there they met alone with as God ; there they were equipped for the battle. And when the time came that they stood forth in public service for Of God, their faces were not ashamed? ill nay, they had faces as lions; they were bold and fearless, yea, and at victorious for God; for the battle had >0 been won already In the desert alone with him. -r To meet one high-minded and noble man is to be refreshed in spirit for a long while. 16 No amount of shirking can free a man from an obligation that has put it upon him. A learned writer asserts that, energy at quite as often drives ofF disease as it brings it on. It The Christian should keep out of the path in which he cannot find the foot prints of the .Lord. Dt The man who sets himself up as the :y censor of his brethren had need have a a- a spotless character. - The gravest moral dangers are those that beset us when we are least conscious of their presence. We often waste more energy in the lit effort to avoid our duties than it would take to discharge them.
