He says that there have been
at least 400 oases ot smallpox la the locality

number of deaths have occurred. He 1
found people walking about the streets of i
the town, broken ont with the disease, '
pock-marked and pitted, and others fall- I
lug 111 every day. '
The local physicians contended that the i
disease was not smallpox, and little effort
had been made to check its ravages. As a ;
result, the disease has become scattered
along the line of the Memphis and Fort
Scott and Cotton Belt Railroads, and many \
neighboring towns are now infected. 1

County about two months ago by a returned
soldier.

SAMOA STILL IN TURMOIL
Collision Between' Chief Justice Chamher3
and the German Consul,
MORE FIGHTING BY THE NATIVES.
American and British Consuls Refcisn to
Meet Herr Rose Until Apolozv Is Made
to Justice Chambers?Dr. Raflel Summoned
For Contempt?Native Rioters
Pillace the Robert Stevenson House.
Auckland, New Zealaud (By Cable).?Advices
received here from Samoa are to the
effect that the forces of Malietoa Tanus
have defeated Kins Mataafa's men In the
hnoh hut there has been no fresh pitched
battle between the rival forces. Everything
indicatos, however, that there will be
more fighting. There has been a great
deal of looting by the native?. The house
of the late Robert Louis fciovenson ba?
been pillaged.
Mataafa is rearresting persons who bad
bet?n fined and released. Herr Grossmuhl,
a German residing la Alpia, was arrested
for breaking windows in the Supremo
Court building. Chief Justice Chambers
flued him and sontenced him to a term
of imprisonment, but Dr. Railel, the German
President of the Municipal Council, and the
Chief of Police liberated him. Thereupon
Justice Chambers raised the flno to $1000.
This drew forth a protect from Herr Rose,the
Gorman Consul, who wrote to Messrs.
Masse and Oiborn, British and American
Consuls, respectively, deslaring that' the
fine constituted an infringement of the
rigUts of the German Consulate. Messrs.
Maxse and Osborn jointly replied that as
the matter had been regularly dealt with
by the proper tribunal the Consuls could
not interfere. Moreover, they refused to
meet Herr Rose and Dr. Raflfel or to hold
any intercourse with them except in writing
until Justice Chambers received an
apology for the behavior of the Germans
toward him.
The Supreme Court has now summoned
Dr, Raffel to answer for releasing Grossmutil,
charginc that in doing so he was
guilty of contempt of court.
The exiled Malietoan chiefs sailed on a
schooner for Manua Island, but the wind
prevented them from reaching their destination.
They were therefore landed at
Pago Pago, where the natives welcomed
them. The natives tried to capture Mataafa'sson,
who was on board the schooner
but th? captain prevented this by promptly
sailing.

BRITISH LABOR LEAGUE.
Trade* Unions T^ke Action ?mcn m?j
Lead to War With Capital.
London (By Cable).?The trades union?
have replied to the challengo of the employers
in forming a league for protection
against strikes by a meeting at Manchester
of tbe representatives of many branches ol
labor, who organized a Central Federatioo
almost on the lines of the Employers'
League. If the plan proves successful and
all the great unions enlist in it, Great Britain
may yet witness a gigantic war of capi
tal against labor, in which the organized
employers will confront the organize.!
workmen. There was strong opposition to
the plan from the labor leaders, who believed
in maintaining the autonomy of the
unions. But the centralization scheme
mustered a large majority. It is estimated
that this consolidated union starts with ?
membership of 600,000 and annual revenue
of $300,000.

SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED
DIVINE.
Subject: "Th* Evil of Selfishness"?Help
Others to ltear Their Burden*?It U a
Christian's Duty to Encourage and
Aid His Comrades In Life'e Battle.
Tbxt: "Bear ye one another's burdens
And so fulfill the law of Christ."?Galatlans
vl., 2.
Every man for himself! If there be room
for only one more passenger in the lifoboat
pet In yourself. If there be a burden to
lift, you supervise while others shoulder It.
You be the digit while others are the
ciphers on the right hand side?nothing in
themselves, but augmenting you. In opposition
to that theory of selfishness Paul advances
in my text tlie gospel theory, "Bear
ye one another's burdens and so fulfill the
iaw of Christ."
Everybody has burdens. Sometimes
they come down upon the shoulders, some- j
times they come down upon the head,
sometimes they come down upon the heart.
Looking over any assembly, they all seem
well and bright and easy, but each one has
. n hnrdon fn Hffr unH soma of them have
more than they.can lift. Paul proposes to
split up these burdens into fragments. You
take part of mine, and I must take part of
yours, and each>one will take part of the
others, and so we will fulfill the law of
Christ.
Mrs. Appletoo, of Boston, the daughter
of Daniel Webster, was dying after long
illness. The .great lawyer after pleading
an Important case in the courtroom on his
way home stopped at the house of his
daughter and went into her sickroom. She
said to him, "Father, why are you out today
in this cold weather without an overcoat?"
The great'lawyer went into the next !
room and waT in a flood of tears, saying,
"Dying herself, yet thinking only of me."
Oh, how much more beautiful is care for
others than this everlasting taking care of
ourselves! High up in the wall of the temple
of Baalbec there are three stones, each
weighing 1100 tons. They were lifted up by
a style ot machinery that is now among
the lost arts. But in my text is the gospel
machinery, by which the vaster and the
heavier tonnage of the world's burden is to
be lifted from the crushed heart of the human
race. What you and I most need to
learn is the spirit of helpfulness.
Encourage the merchant. If he have a
superior style of goods, tell bim so. If he
have with his clerks adorned the show
windows and the shelves, compliment his
taste. If be have a good business locality,
if he have had great 'success, if he have
uruiiaiu prospects iur tuu iuiuio, tcuugui&n
nil this. Be not afraid that he will become
arrogant and puffed up by your approval.
Before night some shopgolng person will
come in and tell him that his prices nre exorbitant
and that his goods are of an inferior
quality and that his show window
gave promise of far better things than he
found insido. Beforo the night of the day
in which you say encouraging words to
that merchant there will be some crank,
male or female, who will come into the
store and depreciate everything and haul
down enough goods from the shelves to fit
out a family for a whole winter without
buying a cent's worth. If the merchant
be a grocer, there will be some one before
night who will come into his establishment
and taste of this and taste of that and
taste of everything else, in that way stealing
all the profits of anything that he may
purchase?buying three apples while he
is eating one orange!
Before the night of the day when you
opprove that merchant he will have a bad
debt which be will have to erase, a bad
dobt made by some one who has moved
away from the neighborhood without giving
any bint of the place of destination.
Before the night of the day when you have
uttered encouraging words to the merchant
there will be some woman who will
4-ss. kSa ofr\ra fln/1 Gov flhft llfld
| iCIUill WW Mio OkV*W ?..J
her pnrse; she left it there In the store, sb?
brought It there, she did not lake it away,
she knows it is there, leaving you to mak*
any delicate and complimentary inference
tbat you wish to make. Before night that
merchant will bear tbat some style of
goods of which he has a large supply is
going out of fashion, and there will bo
some one who will come into the store and
pay a bill under protest, saying he has
paid it before, but the receipt has been
lost. Now, oncourace that-merchant, not
fearing that ho will become arrogant or
' puffed up, for there will be before night
enough unpleasant words said to keep him
from becoming apoplectic with plethora
of praise.
Encourage newspaper men. If you
knew bow many annoyances they have, if
you understood that their most elaborate
article is sometimes flung out because
therois such great pressure on the columns,
nnd that an accurate report of a
speech is expected, although the utterance
be so indistinct the discourse is one long
stenographic gue*s, and that the midnight
?ooluon rlnmanria thnfr fhftv
be awake, una that they are sometimes
ground between the wheels of our great
brain manufactories; sickened at the often
approach of men who want complimentary
newspaper notices or who want newspaper
retraction; one day sent to report a burial,
the next day to report a pugilistic encounter;
shifted from place to place by sudden
revolution which is liable to take place
any day in our great journalistio establishments;
precarious life becoming more and
more precarious?if you understood it you
you would be more sympathetic. Be affable
when you have not an ax to be sharpened
on their grindstone. Discuss in your
mind what the nineteenth century would
be without the newspaper and give encouraging
words to all who are engaged In
this interest, from the chief of editorial
department down to the boy that throws
the morning or evening newspaper into
your basement window.
Encourage mechanics. They will plumb
the pipes, or they will calcimine the celllogs,
or they will put down the carpets, or
they will grain the doors, or they will
fashion the wardrobe. Be not among those
who never say anything to a mechanic except
to find fault. If he has done a job
well, tell him it is splendidly done. The
book is well bound, the door is well grained,
tiio chandelier is well swung, the work is
grandly accomplished. Be not among those
employers who never say anything to their
employes except to swear at them. Do not
j be afraid you will make that mechanic so
puffed up and arrogant he will never again
I want to be seen with working apron or
! in sbirt sleeves, for before the night comes
: of that day when you praise him there
will bo a lawsuit brought against him
because he did not finish his work as soon
as he promised it, forgetful of the fact that
his wife has been sick and two of his children
have died of scarlet fever and he has
had a felon on a finger of the right hand.
Denounced perhaps because the paint is
very faint In color, not recognizing the
fiint th?t the mechanic himself has been
cheated out of the right ingredients, and
thut he did not llnd out the trouble in
time, or scolded at because he seems to
have lamed a horse by unskillful shoeing,
whan the horse has for months had spavin
or ringbone or springhalt. You feel that
you have tho right to find fault with a mechanic
when he does ill. Do you ever
praise a mechanic when he does well?
Encourage the farmers. They come into
your stores, you meet them in the elty
markets, you often associate with them
in the Bummer months. Office seekers go
through tho land and they stand on political
platform", and they tell the farmers
the story about the independent lite of a
farmer, wiving flattery where they
ought to give sympathy. Independent [of
what? I was brought up on a farm, I
worked on a farm, I know all about
it. I hardly saw a city until I
was grown, and 1 tell you that
there are 110 class of people io this
country who have it hurder and
'.vho more need your sympathy than
farmers. Independent of what? 01 the
curcullo that stings the peacli trees, of
the rust in the wheat, of tho long rain with
the rye down? Independent of the grasshopper,
of tho locust, of the army worm, of
tho potato bug? Independent of the
UroUKIlI time uurus up mo uurvrai: xuunpendent
of the cow with the hollow horn,
or the sheep with the foot rot, or the pet
horse with a nail in his hoof? Independent

Encourage the doctors. You praise the
doctor when be brings you up from an
awful crisis of disease, but do vou praise
the doctor when, through skillful treatment
of the incipient stages of disease, he
keeps you from sinking down to tke awful
crisis? There is a great deal of cheap and
heartless wit about doctors, but I notice
that the people who get ott the wit are tho
first to send for a doctor when there is anything
tho matter. There are those who"
undertake to say in our day that doctors
are reallv useless. One man has written a
book entitled, '-Every Man Hts Own Doctor."
That nutbor ought to write one more
book entitled, "Every Man His Own Undertaker."
"Ob," saya some one, "physicians
in constant presence of pain get
hard hearted! " Do they ? Tho most celebrated
surgeon of the last generation stood
in a clinical department of one of the New
York medical colleges, the students gathered
in the amphitheater to see a very
painful operation on a little child. The old
surgeon said: "Gentlemen, excuse me if
I retire. These surgeons can do this as
well as I can, and as I get older it gives me
more and more distress to see pain."
Encourage the lawyers. They are often
cheated out of their fees, and so often have
to breatiie the villainous air of courtrooms,
and they so often have to bear ponderous
responsibility, and they have to maintain
against the sharks in their profession the
dignity of that calling which was honored
by the fact that the only mail allowed to
stand on Mount Sinai beside the Lord was
Moses, the lawyer, and that the Bible
speaks of Christ as the advocate. Encourage
lawyers in their profession of transcendent
importance?a profession honored
by having on the bench a Chief Justice
8tory and at tho bar a Rufus Ohoate:
Encourage the teaohers in our public
schools?occupation arduous and poorly
compensated. In all tho cities when there
comes a fit of economy on the part of officials
the flr9t thing to do is always to cut
down teachers' salaries. To take forty or.
fifty boys whose parents supposo them
precocious and keep the parents from
llndlng out their mistake; to take an empty
Dead ana !Ui u; i? moec cue expsccauon oc
parents who think their children at fifteen
years of age ought to be mathematicians
and metaphysicians and rhetoricians; to
work successfully that great stufling machine,
the modern school system, is a very
arduous work. Encourage them by the
usefulness and the everlastlngness and the
magnitude of their occupation, and when
yourchildren do well compliment the instructor,
prais9 the teacher, thank the eduoator.
Encourage all invalids by telling them
how many you have known with the same
ailments who got well, and not by telling
i them of their sunken eye or asking them
! whether the color of their cheek is really
hectic or mentioning cases in which thRt
style of disease ended fatally or telling J
them how badly they look. Cheerful
words nre more soothing than chloral,
more stimulating than cognac, more tonlo
than bitters. Many an Invalid has recovered
through the influence of cheerful
surroundings.
Encourage all starting in life by yourself
becoming reminiscent. Established merchants,
by telling these young merchants
when you got your first customer,and how
you sat behind the counter eating 'your
luncheon with one eye on the door. Established
lawyers, encourage young lawyers
by telling of the time when you broke
down in your first speech. Established
ministers of the gospel, encourage young
ministers by merciful examination of theological
candidates, not walking around
with a profundity and overwhelmingness
of manner as though you were one of the
eternal decrees. Doctor established, by
telling young doctors how you yourself
once mistook the measles for scarlatina.
And if you have nothing to say that is encouraging,
0 man, put your teeth tightly
together and cover them with the curtain
of your lip, compress your Hps and put
your hand over your mouth and keep
still.
Encourage the troubled by thoughts of
release and renssoclatlon. Encourage the
Hgua vy lliUU^iilo UL DiQiuai ju'wutocvui-v,
Encourage the herdsman amid the troughs
of sin to go back to the banquet at the
father's homestead. Give us tones in the
mnjor key instead of the minor. Give us
"Coronation" instead of "Naomi." You
have seen cars so arranged that one car
going down the hill rolled another car up
the hill. They nearly balanced eacti other.
And every man that llnds life up bill ought
to be helped by those who have passed the
heights and are descending to the vale.
Ob, let us bear one another's burdens!
A gentleman in England died leaving his
fortune by will to two sons. The son that
staid at homo destroyed the father's will
and pretended that the brother who was
absent was dead and burled. The abseut
brother after awhile returned and claimed
his part of the property. Judges and
jurors were to be bribed to say that the re[
turned brother and son was no son at all,
but only an Impostor. The trial came on.
j Sir Matthew Hale, the pride of the English
courtroom aud for twenty years the pride
of jurisprudence, heard that that injustice
was about to be practioed. He put off
his official robe. He put on the garb of
a miller. He went to the village where
that trial was to take place. lie entered
the courtroom. He somehow got empaneled
as one of the jurors. The. bribes came
around, and the man gave ten pieces of
gold to the other jurors, but as this was
only a poor miller the briber gave to him
only live pieces of gold. A verdict was
brought in rejecting me riRuts oi mis returned
brother. He was to have no share
In the inheritance. "Hold, my lord!" said
the miller. "Hold; we are not all agreed
on this verdict. These other men have
received ten pieces of gold In bribery,
and I havo received only five." "Who
are you? Where do you come from?" said
the judge on the bench. The response
was: "I nru from Westminster Hall;
my name is Matthew Hale, lord chief
justice of tho king's beach. Off of that
place thou .villain!" And so the injustice
was balked, and so the young man got his
inheritance. It was all for another that
Sir Matthew Hale took off his robe and put
on the garb of a miller. And so Christ took
off His robe of royalty and put on the attire
of our humanity, and in that disguise He
won our eternal portion. Now are we the
sons of God! Joint heirs! We went off
from home sure enough, but we got back
In time to receive our eternal inheritance.
And If Christ bore our burden, surely we
can afford to bear each other's burdeus.

sand," John vl., 1-14?Golden Text 1
John vi., 35? Commentary on the D?y'i
Lesson by the Bev. D. M. Stearns.
1, 2. "A great multitude followed Him besause
they saw His miraoles which He did I
on them that were diseased," The trut
disciples followed Him because they believed
Him to be the Messiah, Israel's de- n
liverer and King, but the majority of people
saw no beauty In Him; they only sav!
i wonder working man who could heal ft
them when they were sick or feed them
when hungry. He had crossed the sea,
perhaps to be more alone with His Father, f
for He was so misunderstood by men, even
by His disciples, but His Father understood
turn perrectiy. Tiie multitudes, nowever,would
not let Him alone, their needs were E
10 many and He was so able to meet them.
3, 4. "And Jesus went up Into n mountain,
and there He sat with His disciples, j
and the Passover, a feast o? the Jews, was
aigh." The Passover was a feast of the
Lord, but it had become a mere fea3t of
the Jews, anything but an honor to God. }
To Him all was very real; the animals slain
by His own hand to provide coats of skin? (
lor Adam and Eve (God. ill., 21); tke lambs
by whose blood the firstborn were saved In
Egypt; the sacrifice He was soon to ofTer ol j
Himself?all were to Him very, very real, '
but to them a religious ceremony, a weary
form.
5. "When Jesussthen lifted up His eye- ]
indsaw a great company come unto Him
He said unto Philip, Whence shall we buy
bread, that these may eat?" He was full
of compassion for the multitudes, whc
we re as sbeep witbout a shepherd. As to
cheir spiritual condition, their teaohera,
the scribes and Pharisees, would neither r
snter the kingdom themselves nor suffei
others to enter. Whatever religious rites
they performed the object was to be sees
of men (Math. zxlil., 5,13).
6. "And this He said to nrove him, for
3e Himself knew what He would do."
Alan's thoughts and ways are verv earthly.
The Lord needs none of them. His are as
far above ours as heaven Is higher than c
the earth (Isa. lv., 9). He Intends to fill t
this earth with His glory, and He knows t
just how He wUt do it. It was all plain ta i
Him from the beginning. He will complete ,
His body, the church, He will make. Israel s
ill righteous, He will sabdne all things un- ]
to Himself, and He will let us be partners ,
with Him in His kingdom and in All things
tending to it, but He needs no suggestion; <
from us as to bow it shall be done.
7. "Philip answered Him, Two hundred
pennyworth of bread is not sufllolent for .
them that every one of them may take a
little." Therefore the matter of feeding ,
them was wholly out of the question, the
money necessary was not to be had, and if
they had the money where wa3 the bread ,
to be found? So to Philip's mind the idea
was simply preposterous. He did not know
his Lord, nor did he know Him even ud to '
the night before He was crucified (Johr
tlv., 9). ,
8. 9. "One of His disciples, Andrew, 81n^on
Peter's brother, salth unto Him, There
Is a lad'here which hath five barley loaves
and two small ' fishes, but what are they
among so many?" We look around and ;
and that we have ju9t so much, just the
eeriest trifle of what is necessary, for the
work, so little that it is not worth considering,
and so we, like Andrew, feel that It
is folly to think of it. These things are !
written for our Instruction.* May we learn
from them and from other 8criptures to
have faith in God, to dwell with the King
for His work (I Chron. iv., 23), sure that
what the King purposes He is able to carry
out. All power in heaven and on earth ?
Bis.
10. "And Jesus said, Make the men sit
iown. Now, there was much grass in the
place. So the men sat down, in number 1
about 5000." All suggestions, encourag- '
ing or discouraging, are now ended. The
Lord, who knew just what Ho would do, J
takes the matter in hand and begins to J
work. He Is the author and finisher ol 1
every good work. He is the only Creator, ]
the only Redeemer, there is none but He, ]
and none like Him. He says, I will work,
and who shall let It or turn it back? (Isa.
xlill., 13). All the dlsciDles have now to J
do is simply to watch* Him and,obey His
orders. Ire fed millions for forty years.
Ho gave them flesh to the full withdut killing
a single ox or sheep.
11. "And Jesus took the loaves, and '
when Hetiad given thanks He distributed 1
to the disciples, and the disciples to them j
that were set down, aDd likewise cf the 1
fishes, as much as they would." He *
might have rained bread from heaven as J
He did In the wilderness, but He took
what was at hand, and looking to His >
Father that He mlgnt work He multiplied j
as He did the oil and meal for the '
prophet and those with whom He lodged, <
and the oil for the widow that her debt 1
might he paid (I Kings si., 14; II Kings '
iv.. 7). ]
12. "When tLey were filled, He said un? <
to His disciples, Gather up the fragments <
that remain that nothing be lost." While <
j He provides abundantly He will havenoth- i
ing wasted. Filled and overflowing but <
all to His glory, and that many may be
benefited. An abundance of wine at the <
I feast in Cana and much over, an abun- I
dance to eat on this occasion and much to
spare, but nothiog wasted, nothing lost. I
Whatever He gives us is that He may be
glorified. How Sad when He has to say
"the God in whose hand thy breath Is and
whose are all thy ways hast thou not
glorified" (Dan. v., 23). When He per- 1
ceives in us a real desire to glorify Him, '
we shall be abundantly filled. I
13. "Therefore they gathered them to- '<
gether and filled twelve baskets with the '
fragments of the five barley loaves which <
remained over and above unto them that <
had eaten." People filled and baskets '
filled, and He did it all without any help i
from man. How wonderfully He used the 1
lad and his loaves. Years ago I prayed that 1
I might be like one of those loaves, fully in 1
His hauds, to be blessed and broken, and i
as I go from city to city, from day to day i
and from week to week, I think how wonderfully
He has answered my prayer. i
14. "Then those men, when they had seen
the miracle that Jesus Sid, said, This is of
a truth that prophet that should come into i
the world." So they would * ike Him by
force and make Him a king, bu He, having
sent His disciples away by boat, deported
alone to a mountain. The wind blew, the
sea rose, and He did not oome until the
morning watch. Then He came walking on
the sea, and as soon a3 they received Him
Into the ship she was at the land. The
people still sought Him, but only because
He had fed them.?Lesson Heloer.
ESTIMATE OF A CHILD'S VALUE. I
i
flow *n Indiana Jarv Flcared Out Dam
nge? For the Parent.^
Some time last autumn the little sod of
Pnut Addison, of Eiwood, Ind., fell into a
>ewer und was drowned. Mr. Addlsonj
brought salt against the city for $5000 1
damages. The suit was tried a few days, 1
ago, und the jury gave a" judgraent in favor !
of Mr. Addison for $699.05, after being out {
for fifty-three hours.
.JChls (3 said to be the first timo in the
nistory of the county that a jury was out
so long, and brought in a verdict. The
most interesting feature of the jury's finding
was the method of deciding upon and
determining the value of the child to tbe
parent, had the child lived. In doing this
it woDt into detail, and doclded the wages
a child could likely earn at different!
periods of its life, and the probable cost of I
keeping it. ]
The jury figured that from eight to ton | <
years old tbe child would be able to make (
forty-live cents a week. During that (
period it would cost eighty-five cents a t
week to keep it. From ten to twelve it I
would tnako soventy-flve cents ft week, nnd i
it would cost 41.25 to keep it. Fro:n twelve \
to fourteen it could make 94 a week, and:
the living cost would be $2. From fifteen1
to eighteen It could make $5 a weok, andj
tbo living cost would be 42.75. From!
olghteeu to tweuty-one it could make $6 ai
week, and the living cost would be $4. By:
tho jury's calculation, the most valuablo!
time of the child's life to the parent would1
be from fifteen to eighteen. The parent isi
not supposed In lasv to benefit from tbe'
chfld's earnlnirs after it/Is twentv-one. and!
tlio figures began at eight years, as the child!
was drowned at that aco.

We all understand what hero worship fa.
Jometimes, especially In the young, it la exravagant
and provokB&*j6Jptic. Yet always
hero is something ndbieana |*&utiful In it.*
[t is a sign of a generous, wiring nature,
ind we ace glad to perceive it. This, sabitantlally,
is what is meant by enthusiasm
or Christ. It is the feeling essentially which ) }%
10 many exhibit in regard to Webster. Lin:oln,
Grant or Dewey In civil life, or to Whits- ..
leld,Judson,Hanulngton,Whitman andli&ry
Lyon in religious life. We admire them,doight
to talk of their noble deeds, and deslrs
:o have such a spirit as theirs and to do
similar sorvico to our fellowmen. It fa *
Hindrance to enthusiasm for Jesus Christ at*
Irst that he lived upon earth so long ago, ^ -'^4
ind even that the wonderful story of his '
fcioly and beautiful career has been told so .
3ften that it no longer is new. Yet as soon 4
is the attention is fixed upon it, aDd especially
when the desire to be like Christ has
become strong within us. it becomes clear
that no other character ever known.no other V
life ever lived, has bad such power as his
to develop admiring, affectionate, intense
and ever-increasing enthusiasm, and without
distinctions of age, sex, race, time, or -tv
worldly circumstance. Men hpve done, or
suffered, grandly for the sake of kindred. ;'
bome or country. But the enthusiasm. for ,''$
Christ has been the most conspicuous and
effectual of all inspirations to humanity.
Sfet there is need of more of it today and
Bvery one, especially every professed Chris- ^
tian, ought to be an example of it In witaessing
for truth, in rescuing the- ? "*,
lost, in relieving the needy, in building
up the churoh, and in the active pursuit of
one's own occupation, nothing else has
bnlf the powA or value of enthusiasm, ^
bero-worsnip, centred in Jesus Christ. It ?j
Is not lost from the world, whatever irreligious
people may assert. It never accom- vj
plished finer results than in these present
lays. Its possibilities and powers are as
vast as ever. All depends upon our making
It a matter vitally personal to ourselves. We
[nust not be content to lack it, or to fall to
Illustrate it. Let tbe fact never be forgotten,
too, that it is enthusiasm for a leader and
Lord, who. although Invisible, yet livsa,
loves and aids his own. , ? '?$
The Greatest Sin It ^wpnlr.
Nothing tbat tbe year's etld may bring us
of regret, or even of remorse, for the mis- ?
takes and transgressions of its unreturning
lays can change the duty of repentance or
the promise which tbe Word of Qod holds
out to faith. Tbe utmost sin, in tbe light of
Sod's invitation and bis manifested love
In Christ, is tbe sin of despair. It is &a
Imputation on God's justice as well as
mercy, for it implies that he will not fulfl 1 .<
bis own pledged word. Nor is it well at m
this, or any other time, indeed, to spend
too much vital energy in the contemplation
of such insignificant objects as our \
present selves. Forgetting self in confidence
tbat God's love does not change
clears the way for wholesome- thoughts of
luty and vow? of service. To think of others
Is the right way to become reconciled with
self. To remember that the gaded year is
one step onward to ward the consummation
of the plans of God and the full coming of
that kingdom in whose triumph isour peace
Is 1o chance all thoughts of sorrow into content
and joy.

Godly Sorrow a Sign of Life.
Another year just vanished forever invites
us to watch that this year' may
be strengthened. To some nothing \
but leaves" seem to summarize tbe past v
twelve months, nnd the preva ling mood *
is one of sadness. But the feeling of I
sa'ness is a good omen; it wore sad- I
der still if we near-sightedly mistook those 1
leaves for fruit; it is encouraging that we can I
see the past as God sees it Though oat J
hearts condemn us, God is greater than our fl
hearts. The spiritually dead experience
only selfish regrets; goodly sorrow p

of "that which is ready to die."
