From Postoffice Department Regard
ing Rural Mail Service.
The act of Congress making appro
priations for tho service of the post-
office department, for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 1904, In connection
with the appropriation for the pay of
rural carriers, provides that:
“On and after said date (July 1,
1904) said carriers shall not solicit
business or receive orders of any
kind for any person, firm or corpora
tion, and shall not, during their
hours of employment, carry any mer
chandise for hire; provided, that said
carriers may carry merchandise for
hire upon the request of patrons re
siding upon their respective routes,
whenever the same shall not inter
fere with the proper discharge of
! their official duties, and under such
; regulations as the postmaster-gen
eral may prescribe.”
In pursuance of the above provision
of law, it is ordered :
That" rural carriers are not per
mitted to solicit business or receive
orders of any kind for any person,
firm or corporation.
No mailable matter may be hand
led by rural carriers while serving
their routes, unless the proper post
age has been prepaid, with the single
exception of country newspapers,
which, under the law, are permitted
to be carried free throughout the
county in which they are published,
to actual subscribers, and such news
papers addressed to subscribers, resi
dents on rural routes, must be depos
ited at the postoffice the same as pa
pers for other subscribers.
The hire for merchandise carried
on request of the patrons of rural
free delivery must be paid by the
patron. Carriers will not be permit
ted to receive any compensation from
! seller of such merchandise.
Articles or packages, which are
mailable, which are handed to the
carrier or deposited in the postoffice
or in a rural letter box or in a col
lection box located on a rural route,
with request that the rural carrier
deliver same, are subject to the rules
regulating mail matter, including the
payment of postage thereon.
Articles or packages that are not
mailable, which the patron desires
the rural carrier to carry must be
delivered to the carrier in person, and
in carrying merchandise for hire ru
ral carriers are not permitted to
leave their routes as officially laid
out or to accept anything that will in
any way delay the delivery of mail,
or in any way interfere with the effi
ciency of the service .
Carriers, while on duty, are not
permitted to carry spirituous liquors
either for themselves .for sale or for
the accommodation of their patrons.
Rural carriers are required to per
mit postoffice inspectors, or other
duly accredited agents of the post-
office department ,to accompany them
on their regular trips over their
routes. They must not carry other
passengers nor permit any person,
other than authorized postal officials,
to ride with them or to have access
to the mails.
Rural carriers must not engage in
any business during their prescribed
hours of service, or conduct any busi
ness after hours which offers the
temptation to solicit patronage on
their routes, or which, by reason of
their position in the government ser
vice, gives them special advantage
over competitors, such as book can
vassing, soliciting insurance, selling
sewing machines, or other kindred
occupations.
Carriers must not, either in per
son or through others, directly or in
directly, by any method whatever,
solicit money, gifts or presents; nor
issue for profit, souvenirs or postal
handbooks; nor co-operate with or
assist the publishers of same to se
cure the patronage of the public;
nor compile directories for public
use or assist publishers to compile
them; nor furnish the names and ad
dresses of patrons of their routes,
for pay or favor, to any business es
tablishment, or to any individual, ex
cept to those departmental officials
who, under the regulations, are enti
tled to the same.

Postmaster General.
FAMILY RELIGION..
conduct unbecoming a Christian life,
parents will encourage their children
to enter it. They doubtless comfort
themselves with the thought that af
ter tho children have established
themselves socially and become popu
lar among men, they can easily be
brought under the influence of the
gospel. The mistake rests in the fact
society does not make men, but men
make society. And the first mistake
has led to a second: Social standing
is no longer a matter of personal
merit, but a commodity to be bought
and sold as other articles of com
merce. A beast of a man with a well-
filled purse can oftime be found in
any place with the most refined of
the community. In place of morning
and evening prayers has been substi
tuted the morning and evening dress,
and fashion sits and rules the world
today with a rod of iron. And men
in authority to<|ay have gone so far
as to designate a law provided for
the vindication of God’s holy law in
our cities, “A senseless ordinance.”
Now I ask, does this kind of conduct
bring human happiness? Does the
knowledge of the most elegant dress
and the most skillful handling of the
game bring happiness? Solomon said
of all such, “Vanity and vexation of
spirit.” Does setting God’s law at de
fiance bring happiness? “Be not de
ceived; God is not mocked, for what
soever a man soweth that shall he
also reap.”
Let us see an example. Jacob was
a man who carefully observed family
religion: he also indulged a little
pride of dress on his favorite son. The
coat of many colors served as the
messenger of sorrow to Jacob; the
family religion was the anchor of Jo
seph’s soul, and fortified him in the
hour of temptation and comforted
him in prison and directed him wisely
in prosperity. Nebuchadnezzar defied
God and was driven from his throne
and from among men to eat grass
with tho ox. Truly, “Pride goeth be-
foer destruction, and a haughty spirit
before a fall.”
Teach a child godliness and his so
cial enjoyment will adjust itself in a
way to give men perfect and perma
nent happiness. Not to recognize this
truth is to refuse to heed the admoni
tion: “Seek ye first the kingdom of
What You ;
Is high grade goods at
small cost, is it not?
That is where I excell.
My goods are well
made, finely finished,
full sized.
Cost—well compare my
prices with others.

God and his righteousness.’
That
the Bible is the best legal code has
long since been demonstrated, and
that it is tho best social code is no
less easy of demonstration. It brings
material prosperity, it continues pros-,
perity, it points out the way of get
ting the most good out of life, it
brings peace into the home under
every condition, “For godliness is
profitable unto all things, having the
promise of the life that now is and
that which is to come.” Then there
is reflex blessing to the parent. It
brings peace and comfort to the heart
of the parent, not only in the con
sciousness of duty performed, but in
the realization of the promise:” Bring
up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not de
part from it.” And when the parent
has grown old, as good old Jacob,
they will forget all their sorrow in
hearing “their children rise up and
call them blessed.” In place of see
ing them going down to the drunk
ard’s grave or the felon’s cell, or
what is worse, become scoffers at the
church of the living God, they will
see them an honor to the state and
family. “The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom.”

An Infallible Safeguard to Crosperity
and Happiness.
We might speak of the influence of
family religion on politics and the
church, as well as society, but time
and space forbid.
It was Pope who said, “Man is the
noblest work of God.” This is true,
and only true because he is the work
of God. And only in so far as he
keeps in touch with his Creator is his
nobility manifest. A failure to real
ize the source of human happiness
even for a time, ha$ caused a ship
wreck to be made of thousands of
lives. So many parents conclude
that society makes men and women,
and therefore the first thing they
must do is to get their sons and
daughters into society. They will
make any personal sacrifice in or
der to have their children popular
with men. And though oftentimes
what is recognized in their commu
nity as the best society indulges in
