John wesley's mother once wrote to him when he was iu college, "Would ^ you judge of the lawfulness or unlaw- l fulness of pleasure, take this rule: "Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your con- I science, obscures your sense of God ; eq or takes off the relish of spiritual things. Whatever increases the au- ' j thority of your body over your mind, kii that thing, to you, is sin." j Yes, we may be sure that whatever i makes us feel less disposition to read &o the Bible and take the sacrament and < enjoy prayermeeting is sin for us, be- b? causb it damages the spiritual nature. ju{ m. 1 Harris Lltbia Water, always fresh, at Speed's. 13o per gallon.

Tbe reason a blow ou the ear may do irreparable injury Is that the air, being driven suddenly and violently onainai- the Hmm of the ear. might rupture the membrane and cause incurable deafness. The ears should never be pulled nor meddled with in any way, except to wash them in the gentlest manner, the orifice being cleansed with a fold of the washcloth rolled into a little cone. Half the cruelty in the world comes from thinking evil of others; the other half from not thinking of others at all. Don't tell your pieacher that he bores his congregation. He may conclude that he is working in wool. If the parental example is a sowing of bad seed, how absured to look for a good fruitage in the lives of the children. "Where is Happiness?" asked a youth of Duty. "Go with me," was the reply, "and I will bring you to her." T* 1_: : - U T nvrl xi yuu uiuiuj iu vuuivu iuai wo uum is your rest and peace, let the children see that you told the truth about it when you get home. The man who will undertake to keep the commandment of God will soon find that he must have God's help to enable him to do it. God's warnings are as important as his invitations. When he foretells an evil as a result of sinning, that evil is sure to come to pass. When love is fed by knowledge and guided by judgment it becomes a mighty preservation against error, and a detective of truth. There is no war among men but what arises from some vice, from covetousness,"sor ambition, or an immoderate love of glory. Sin always brings its own punishment. As we sow so must we reap. If we sow evil thoughts, words, and deeds, we cannot in the natural order of things expect to reap anything but j the fruits of bur evil doing. "We talk about questions of the hour. There is but one question,? how to bring the truths of God's word into vital contact with the mind and 1 heart of all classes of the people." He who lives for himxelf alone lives a very low and unworthy life, but he who lives for the glory of God his Creator and the good of his fellow-man, his brothers, lives a life worth living, and it is the only one that is.
