The Tteligion of Jesus Christ. The religion of Jesus Christ will pro- duce a revolution in our churches. The tion -committal, do-nothing polior of the church of Goa will give way to a spirit of bravest conquest. Piety in this day seems to me to be salted down just so ea to keep. It seems as If the church were chiefly anxious to take care of itself, and if we hoar of want and squalor and hea- thenism outside we say, "What a pity!" and NVO put our hands In our pockets, and wo feel around for a 2 -cent piece, and with great flourish we put it upon • She plate and are amazed that the world Is not converted in six weeks.

You would say, "Of course defeat mint come in that case." It is worse than that in the church. Mllhion of the professed soldiers of Jesus Christ an cooking rations or asleep in their tents, while only one man here and there goes out to do battle for the Lord. "But," says some one, "we are estab- lishing a great many missions, and I think they will save the masses." No; they will not. Five hundred thousand of ehem will not do it. They are doing a magnificent work, but every minion chapel is a confession of the disease and weakness of the church. It is snakieg a dividing line between the °lasses.

The ministers of Christ, instead of being anxious about whether they are going to lose their place in their notes, will get on fire with tbe theme and pour the living truth of God upon an aroused auditory. crying out to the righteous, "It shall be well with you," and to the wicked: "Woe! It shall be 111 with you." In those days the singing will be very different from what it is now. The music will weep and wail and chant and triumph. People then will not be afraid to open their mouths when they sing. The man with a cracked voice will risk it on "Windham" and "Orton - vide" and "Old Hundred." Grandfather will find the place for his grandoend in the hymnbook, or the little child will be spectacles for the grandfather. Hosanna will meet hosanna and together go olirob- ing to tbe throne and the angels will hear, and God will listen, and the gates of heaven will hoist, and it will be as risen two seas meet—the wave of earth- ly song mingling with the surging anthems of the free. Oli, xny God, let ine live to see that day! Let there be no power in disease or apoident or wave of the sea to disappoint my expectations. Let all other sight fail my eyes rather than that I should miss that vision. Let all other sounds fail my ears rather than that I should fail to hear that sound. I want to stand on the mountain top to catch the first ray of the dawn and with flying feet bring the eerie And, oh, when lee hear the clat- tering hoofs that bring on the laing's olaariot may we all be ready, with arches sprung and with hand on the rope of the hell that is to sound the victory, and with wreaths all twisted for the way, and when Jesus dismounts let it be amid the huzza! huzza! of a world redeemed! • Where and when will that revolution begin? Here and now. In your heart and mine. Sin most go down, our pride must go down, our worldliness must go dosvn, that Christ may come up. Revolution! "Except a man be born again, he can- not see the kingdom of God." Why not now let the revolution begin? Not next Sabbath, but now. Not to -morrow, when you go out into commeroial drain, btst now.

Good Zxample for Hector and Patient. A good true story is told of a San Francisco woman and a doctor with a conscience. The doctor performed a suo. oessful operation for a rich woman, and when asked for his bill, presented one for $50. The lady smiled and mid; "Do you consider that a reatonable oharge, consid- ering my circumstances?" The doctor re- plied: "That is my charge for that oper- ation; your circumstances have nothing to do with it." The lady drew a cheek for $500 and presented it to him. Be handed it back saying: "I cannot accept this. My charge for that operation is $50." "Very well," the lady replied, "Keep the check, and put the balance to my credit." Some months after she re- ceived a long itemized hill, upon which was entered charges for treatment of var- ious kinds, rendered to all sorts of odds and ends of humanity, male and female, black and white, who had been mended at her expense. She was so delighted at 15 tiaat she immediately placed another check for $600 to his credit on the same terms, and it Ls now being earned in the same way. Wire Mats by the Foot. Among the curious things to be nth in the hardware stores nowadays are woven wire door mats for sale by the yard, foot or inch. It is only a few years since the manufacture ef the woven wire mat was begun, but these seats have proved so effeceive as dirt catchers and so light and easily cleaned that their use has spread very rapidly. During the earlier years of thole manufaoture each mat was woven and finished separately. Now some of the manufacturers are weav- ing there in lengths of 60 feet, and in such a way that they will not ravel when they are °tat. Tlae mats are woven in different widths and done up in rolls like carpet. Vegetables in Olden. Times. Many of the vegetables in daily use on our dineer, tables Were known in very remote times.
