The Chris- an ld tian who is trying to get along with as just as little religion as conscience nc Le will permit, finds that little a bur- of] v. den. Religion will not be treated that way without protesting. If we 1_ do not give it first place, it is likely w to remind us unpleasantly of its pres e ence. As a preacher recently put it, of >f "Some people try to carry their rer ligion; others let their religion carry B? them." The person who has given r_ the second plan a fair trial wonders gj. ,y why he ever staggered along under si( the old load. It is like carrying the ve weight of a heavy deflated balloon co ' on our backs when we might let the balloon carry its own weight and our- tr, selves besides. Seeking God first y never made life harder for anyone. se y If our religion is burdensome, let us an ie try lightening it by adding to it.? p t? Selected. *e ? th , Home Mission Meeting.

Gage, preling judge: We beg leave to report that! we ive examined the trial justices and eir books. We find numbers of irregularities it nothing criminally wrong. We id that their system of book-keepg is not in accordance with blanks id docket furnished them by the unty. They have promised that in ture they will keep them in accordnMfh fnrms nrnvidod. We examined the office and books the master and find them neatly id systematically kept. We have examined the office and ?oks of the probate judge and find > system in his methods of keeping s books, we find several documents several years' standing that have ?t been indexed. We find entries ade by others than the probate dge that are very illegible. It is ssible that he has not been furnled with the proper books, and 5 recommend that if such is e case that they be supplied, e find that the windows to s office are in bad repair id should be repaired at once, evil disposed persons would have ? difficulty in gaining access to his Ice and valuable documents.
