When the family were leavirg the boarding house in the mountains where they had spent the summer, the child was told to say goodbye to the others in the house. This she did, and then insisted on going back to her room. Her mother followed, to see her daughter go straight to the crib, kneel down, and, folding her hands, say gravely: "Dood-bye, Dod." Then she was ready for her journey. Help in Fighting Disease. A Chicago life insurance man read with much interest an account of the death of Charles Kreck a Allentown, Pa., in his ninetieth year. Sixty-one , years ago he applied for membership in an Odd Fellows' lodge, but was rejected cn account of his bad health. Later he was accepted, and he survived all the other lodge members but one. "It is a fact." said the insurance man, "that life insurance companies often do gooA to men by rejecting them. In many cases the experience results in a ber.cfioial change of habits and the man takes better care of him J self. Besides, his obstinacy is arcused and he determines 10 live 'just to show these insurance men.' Any physician will tell you that such a ('.ctermira tion is a great help in fighting off disease."

New Yobk City.?At the South Congregational Church, Brooklyn, the pastor, the Kev. Albert J. Lyman, D. D., preached a sermon on "Common Ethical illusion* Concerning the Practice of Gambling." He selected one of the Ten Commandment* for his text: Exodus xx: 15: "Thou shalt not steal." A direct pulpit address upon practical every day morality is exposed to one very obvious embarrassment. It is this: Many persons feel, and with a great deal of reason, that ?. ftunday sermon, and especially in the morning of the Lord's Day, should be a broad setting forth of religious truth in general terms, clothed in form sufficiently elaborate and sufficiently artistic to be intellectually attractive aside from any particular application. A most striking frustration, perhaps, of such a sermon devoted to the exposition of one great phase of religious truth and of the divine character was that delivered, as I gather, from .his pulpit last Sunday morning, by our honored friend, Dr Herritk, of Boston. We come to church, one might say, to worship and to hear the Scripture explained, and we do not care to hear our minister made a "dead set," as it might be called, upon a certain foible or vice which v.c arc almost all entirely against. My feeling is thai there is a deep propriety in this sentiment. Preaching, like praver, should be for all. On the other hand, a Christian minister ? a Christian pastor w.io is pastor more than he is preacher?is a watcher for souls, not in the mass, but for individual souls. He stands as the trinity of watchers?teacher, pastor, watcher for individual human lives. St. Paul at Ephesus said he had warned every one I night and day with tears?every one. 1 need make no apology for continuing i in the strain of ethical appeal taken up two weeks ago, for I have been asked and urged to do so by some of our young men. Within the last fortnight various echoes have reached me of the address which this fjulnit ventured to make in favor of a ngn morality and especially moral freedom. which makes all-round preaching; the freedom to hold as well as the freedom to give way. Among those ecl oes there have been some references to the practice of gambling. Young men have said to me that moat people have no idea of the extent to which certain forms of gambling are prevalent in this great city, extending ail the way from the boyish practice of matching pennies up to playing for high j j stakes in the gaming hou*e. On the other j hand, others have said they did not sec where trie real wrong came in by buying cnancrs. on the races, for example, and stakes at curd. All had an equal chance. In the same spirit, therefore, as that in f which 1 trif.d to speak two weeks ago, trusting to your sympathy in my effort to reach our young peopie, 1 wish to say a word or two this morning on ethical illusions concerning gambling, i ain most anxious of all fhat whatever I say shall be said fairly and not from a preju heed or bigoted point of view. I do not wi-h to confuse things which in themselves differ or produce upon any young friend an impression of mere intolerant antipathy. It may occasion surprise that so severe a text has been chosen, ior you will say: "Gambling is not stealing," and yet I cannot help thinking?and the more I think about it the more convinced I am?that the text does fit the subject. There are some differences between gambling and stealing, and thev ought to ne aamiuca. duc, ai ine neari, uic nw an.very much the same, very alike. Shall we then look at th:s matter, not in the way of excited ami vehement denunciation, but in the sober, brotherly fashion as though we were ttlking at home? First, then, the difference between gambling and stealing. Stealing is without the knowledge of the person stolen from: gambling is with the knowledge of botn persons. Gambling invokes the presence of a third party, namely, chance, whose presence is supposed to change the moral nature of the tiansnction. On the other hand, gambling resembles stealing because it is> taking something for which 110 return is givir.?no return at all. In legitimate speculation the seller receives something which at toe time he believes to be the equivalent of what he sells. Otherwise the transaction is unjust. But in gambling nlnetv-nino men sell out to the hundredth man and get nothing for what they sell. I have sometimes fancied thai a moral parafi_i v.. ? v.j. vi:? o-,.i iei may uc n:u utinroi ^chuuuuk nuvi ing. Gambling, like dueling, is a moral 1 hybrid. That is, a cross between a clear wrong and what may be right. For example, murder is wrong, war may be right. Gambling is a cross between murder and war. So stealing is a c'ear wrong and speculation may be right. Gambling is a cross between stealing and speculation. But both gambling and dueling dwell in a moral twilight and are absolutely as immoral and dangerous to society as the very blackness of midnight itself. Now. you will notice that in both gambling and dueling a third factor is supposed to enter, which neutralizes the moral wrong. In gambling the element is chance; in dueling it is honor. If, however, we look at the master we shall, I think, find out that chance in tha o-c case and honor in the other is not n reality but a chimera?but an illusion. That i* what I mean by the illusion of gambling. There is no sucli thing as chance, reaMv, and that is where the illusion comes in. i.ei ulook at this. There is an amount of mental juggling, a haze over men's eyes, a witch's maze in which the idea is that chance is au objective fact. Now there is no such thing. All that there is, is a subjective uncertainty, no objective chance at all. There is no such thing as chance. Once traveling along the Connecticut River Valley I askea a German who was with me to tell ine something about German metaphysics. He pointed to socie holes :n the banks of the river, in which the ground swallows had built their nests, and said: "You see that bank?" "Yes." "You see those holes in which are the swallows' nests?" "Yes," said 1. "Now," said he. "take away the bank and leave nothing out the holes and you will have an exact definition of German metaphysics." And so it is with this idea of chance; there is no such thing obi'eetively as chance. One hundred men each lave a chance. No such thing. The actual fact is that just one man is certain to get a prize?if he is certain-yand the others are certain not to get it. Therefore they have no chance. One man has a cer ?J a. -ii 1 I taiaiy ana me utucia iuic uu They all have simply uncertainty as to which man has a certainty. Suppose that some judge who is distributing the prizes had sufficient foresight to know exactly which way the ball would roll. He knows that and the corresponding number in every man's hand. Science has chased chance out of the universe. To the eves of the intelligent chance has ceased to be. There is no such thing in all this world. There is what we call a law. but there is no chr.nce in the case; it is all law. Beside, taking your own ground, even if there is such a thing, there is onlv one chance out of a whole hundred which will become a certainty. "Well," you say, "it is a good chance ' Yes, that is a good clnnce. "A's chance is good, then?" Yes, but B's chance is poor. In other words, nne man's chance neutralizes another; therefore, there are no hundred chancs. If you have bought one good elnnce. then ninety-nine have paid for a poor chance. What equality is there in that? Thus, even on your own ground there is no such thing as chance. And, from the high standard of science and actual ftct, there is no such thing in this world, in the entire universe, as chance. Ninety-sine have bought nothing, and you have taken their money. :ir.<l 11 you don'1 fee! incin in taking i'. you air meaner tiinv ! tnonyht y >:i were. \\ moral right then. is 'eft to -ambling? No moral rigin oi ail \*o jus'ire whatever. It is clear clean, alxoluie. unequivocal wrong. Notii ing is loft hut the excitement and the tin certainty as who is the certainty and th< crazy hope of getting rich without payinj for it and whoever entertains it is nin ning against the everlasting laws, and yot can dig his grave. Now. tinallv. I want to remind you when this mental jugglery ends. If ends as .1 poison end?. It is a poison of the mind, ar intellectual poison. .!u?t as poison enteri the tissues ot the body and acts upon th< system, so it acts upon the intellect. Al first it excites, then follows reaction. Ther more of tht pei?on is taken, with similai reacti?n, and again more is taken and mor< reliction. So. there is a constant play an<i intcrpmy between taking more and more and more of the intellectual poison with the reaction. God help the man, for the undertow has got him! My deur friends, there is something tc me absolutely appalling about getting un der the power without knowing it of thai kind of iotel'^ctual poison. I speak ear nestlv becau I have known and loved gifted men who have yielded to it and gonf down. The mental unreason that is in vol ed in gambling unhinges men's brains Indulging in gambling becomes something that a man can hardly himself stop. Von know men never stop doing a thing unless a motive comes which is stronger than th* motive that leads them to do it. The mar goes on and goes on until the impulse and motive to do the thing becomes stronger than the motive that comes in to stop it Just the moment the impulse become? fi.^? ,i.... it is good-bye, it is good-bye! Boys begin by betting on marbles or putting up stake! at cards just to make the game more in tcresting." It makes the game more inter csting to the devil. Then comes the race track. The more refined the man and tht finer the intellect the more surely the dis ease. Nothing is so ghastly as the cravinj for gambling which gets hold of a fine fibered man. A few days ago a young man a church worker, told me of a man whc confessed to him that he had crept ud s airs in the dead of winter to his little s eeping girl and taken away the clothinj that covered her and the shoes which she wore, put them under his coat and sluni off ana pawned them for rum?the demor curse. Now, with gambling the frightfu monomania is still worse. If there is an> young man here this morning who has an\ suspicion that the serpent is gr.'lng thai coil around him, then quick, quick, or yov are a lost man! You are a lost hoy! Quick! Get out of it now'! You had bet ter lock yourself in your room and live or bread and water. You had better hole your hands in the fire until the veins bu-s' than go on with the fiend of gambling.

Then pray fo" mother whose bo> is gone, or whom she thinks is soup. Cod'i grace is great and she has come to her pas tor and spoken of this matter. ^ By your kind indulgence 1 want to refei to just one more point. It is sometimes said that gambling is the product of bus: ness speculation. I do not believe it. Sjee ulation, as its Latin origin implies, is cs sentiallv a foresight. It is an endeavor tr look ahead and determine values. It is not an anneal to chance. We see the same root to the word inspection, or the word re snectcble or the noun cccu'cr, which i? tne same Latin word. Some forms of business speculation are. of course, unfair, but in a large business sense speculation is not guessing in advance, but looking in advance and I do not believe the two go together In new. strong countries speculation is almost always the accompaniment of business opportunity. But in dead countries, such as Snain was fiftean years ago. I have poticed that while business speculation is almost dead, gambling is far more prevalent even than here. See the higher English societv in Queen Anne's time, ministers. everybody gambled, but there was not much business speculation. No. my friends, it is idleness craving for excitement, illusion, bad company, corrupting morals. These are the forces that lead men into gambling. All gambling, even the least, under all circumstances, is like seduction and slavery ? eternally unjust and eternally wrong, ic is UKing sometnirg ior nounng. It makes every man his neighbor's foe. It corruots society and undermines the fabric of the American state. It is unpatriotic and against the eternal Sinai. It divorces contract pnd its equivalent. Is there one here this morning, T wonder, who wants hL' dearest friend, his young brother, to stop gambling' If so, in God's name, let liini stop himself. A Common Cruelty. If accused of cruelty in daily life we should nrobably resent it indignantly, yet every time a person inflicts an evil mood upon his household or upon his fellowworkers he is treating them cruelly. Most of us are guilty at times, and we never stop to think that our inno"ent victims are utterly defenseless. Cortsider how quickly all members of the family suffer when one brings his depression to the breakfast table; how* easily good spirits are quenched by one person's moroseness; how* readily an atmosphere of nervousness, of ill-nature, or physical pain makes itself felt _ when there is no effort at eelf-eootrol. No one has a right to inflict his bad feelings upon others, and we realize this when we are the victims. B"t if we have not slept well, or if we had a headache after a wearisome day, or if some business matter has gone wrong, where is our own cheerfulness? Our shortcomings should help us to make excuses for other people's temDers, but our sufferings should teach us the cruelty of self-indulgence.?Congregationalist. Affections of Home. If ever household affections and loves are graceful things, they are graceful in the poor. The ties that bind the wealthy and the proud to home may be forged on earth, but those which link the poor man to his humble hearth are of the true metal, and bear the stamp of heaven. The man of high descent may love the halls and lands of his inheritance as a part of himself, as trophies of his birth and power; the poor man's attachment to the tenement he holds which strangers have held before, and may to-morrow occupy again, has a worthier root, strucK aeep into purer sou. ma household gods are of flesh and blood, with no ahoy of silver, gold or precious stones: he has no property but in the affections of his own heart, and when they endear bare floors and walls, despite of toil and scanty meals, that man has his love of home from God, and his rude hut becomes a solemn place.?Charles Dickens. Character Building. Character is the word of honor from which a coat of mail can be woven that the swiftest arrow of shame or the keenest knife of disrepute cannot pierce. Every thought that enters our mind, every act we ac, and every word we utter, adds a link to the golden chain of character. The strength of a steam engine can be estimated to within an ounce of its limit, but it is impossible to estimate the force of a noble character. The hardest hearts are softened and the most repulsive dispositions Lecorae fascinating. Our failures and our successes help to form a reputation that may he destroyed by an external force, but the destruction of a character can only be effected by some internal force.?Our Boys' Magazine. A Tender Conscience. A t-nder conscience is a precious gift from God. We do not mean a scrupulous conscience governed by crochets, or a morbid conscience governed by fear of its own creation. Both of these are most trouble some guests to entertain. But we mean a tender conscience which is governed in all by the ! THE EXTRA SESSION i * v Senator Horgan Still Speaks on the Canal Question. ; Senator Morgan T uesday secured J the first material concession that has been made to him by tae Senate in ? connection with the Panama treaty i with Colombia. Tnis convention con1 sisted of an agreement to attach the | Spooner Canal act bodily to the treaty. ; Thi3 change was made in compliance , with a request which wag presented r by Senator Lodge during the day s ? executive session of the Senate and I after the necessity for it had been dls! cussed by Mr. Morgan and also by 1 other members of the Senate. Senator ^aniel expressed thr ? opinion that as the preamble to the treaty calls for the attachment of a : copy of the act that attachment was " necessary to preserve the terms of the \ document Intact. Senator Morgan con; tended that without this attachment the treaty was absolutely invalied. : Senators Teller and Hoar took the i opposite view, urging that as the act ' was in existence and of record in the statutes of the United States, the j physical annexation was of no conse i quence whatever..Senator Lodge, how. i ever, suggested that np injury could i result from the attachment or the act 1 and requested unanimous consent for ' that purpose. There was no objection | and Senator Morgan's wish in this re! spect was gratified. It was specifically . stipulated, however, that this conces> sion did not amount to an amendment - of the treaty. ? Senator Morgan consumed the entire time of the remainder of the \ closed session, discussing the canal . question from various points of view, and going over much ground which he : had already covered. Most of his > ! speech was wrtten, and when Senator : Cullom asked him if the speech he < ! was reading was a new one, or an old r one, he replied with some manifesto r tion of vexation that it was new. t adding that he did not have to repeat ] ' his addresses. He discussed particu: | larly the attitude of the isthmian canal J I VUlUUiidClUU KJM. >T U1V.11 AUUiliai TT ma.?? l] I3 the head and criticised to some ex: tent the charge cf view taken by that 1 commission in its last report. He also dwelt upon the variation of the terms cf the treatv from those of the Spoon\ or law. During the progress of his ad. dress Senator Morgan expressed a dc, sire to have copies of the correspond ence between the United States government end tbo new Panama Canal Company bearing upon the acceptance 1 of the option given by that company | to the United States to purchase the ! canal for $40,000,000 and the Senate . eon rented to make a request on the ; Secretary of State for those docu meats. They had not arrived at.half " past-3 o'clock and as Senator- Morgan \ stated that he would be unable to proceed without them Senator Cullom J moved that the Senate adjourn and I thii motion prevailed. , . I During the day tnere was more or | less informal discussion of the propo ' sitlon to permit Senator Morgan to ; publish.his remarks in The Congres| sional Record, but there was no effort . to reach a conclusion on this point. Senator Cullom, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, has taken : the position that this permission to ; print shall not be granted unless Senator Morgan will agree to allow a day | to be fixed for the vote upon the treaty. On the other hand, Senator Morgan says that he is entirely independent of the Senate in these respects because he says he can discuss to any extent he please in the ^7public print a former treaty between the United States and Colombia, which is almost identical with the pending treaty and which has been made public. During the day Senator Morgan forwarded to each Senator copies of . eight pamphlets prepared by himself on the canal question. They dealt ^ usually under special titles, with the following subjects: "The History of Colombia's Canal Concessions and the Organization of Canal.
