The pastor will preach a sermon on the subject, "Keeping the Proper Account." The office cf a modern business house where the accoun s are kept will be used as an illustration. ^Iuch of the success of business depends upon the proper keeping of ;he accounts. Many a man ir.as bee -ale distracted, and has gone out from friends, home, and busyness saying, "It is all up with me. I am a ruined man." Not because there were no assets but because ;'ney were wrongly charged. Ma .y a Christian has become discouraged and downcast, not because t;:ere was no hope, but because he has wrongly charged his burdens in his life accoun s. Every man and woman living under the light of the gospel of Jesus C.iis. keep at least hree accounts, (1) An account with others, (:i) a ; account with himself, (3) an account wi h God. The w.rds o' the text are. "Bear ye, one anoi:.;er*s burdens, and so fulfil the law of C\:rist." ,4,7or every man shall bear his wn burden."

Cleopatra's Needle, which stands on a knoll in Central park between the | Metropolian Museum cf .Art and tne reservior, is receiving a new Treatment for one of its periodic attacks or spring fever. As the result, so the scientists say, of erosion due to climatic conditions, the hieroglyphics j ihreatened recently to become as i illegible as they are untranslatable by | most persons. j ; The new treatment is being given ; by Dr. William Kuckro, chemist of j the Metropolian museum. Dr. Kuckro ! : believes that the metfjod. which he ! and Dr. James Kemp, geologist of Columbia university, discovered, is certain to preserve statues which are ex- j i posed to unfavorable wea'her condi ! tions. The treatment will cost the r>ark department $400. The shaft was brought to New York t from Egyp; in 1881 and during the first 21 years cf its residence here ; more than half a ton scaled off. The !
