FOR THE LONELY YOUNG MAN
When God Educates the Soul Ile
Does It In Solitude.
A despatch from Brooklyn, N. V.,
says:
Rev. lee
Newell Dwight t.Lt,
preached from the following text:
No man curette for lily soul.
A year ago a young roan came W
the city to wake his fortune. 1 wring
ill tlt.•.,e months he lits been working
up to the limits of his strength,
with long hours, little pav, slow
climbing and at times sick with hope
deferrer!. His home is a :meriting
house. his room a hall bedroom. On
a Sunday night he writes a i rte;.
describing himself us a bird heating
its wins against an iron cage. In
substance he says: "In the village at
home I knew every lace and every-
body knew inn. fussing along the
street everybody had a senile end a
recognition. !fere I am nobody—a
mere drop in the MVO'. \ly ••ntployer
counts me n cog in the machine. You
little know the loneliness of a young
man in New York. Oh! 1 know what
is meant by the words, 'No man
Gareth for my soul.' "
Doubtless this 1•outh stands for a
great multitude in the city. The: -
lonely ones throng our streets and

follows:,— tt�r

stand and went along his via dolor-
osa. Alone, .Jesus Christ was
tempted in the desert; alone, He suf-
fered in Gethsemane. How pathetic
was that midnight hour when Ho
wakened His disciples, asking them if
they could not watch with 1lim in Itis
loneliness for a single hour. Alone,
also, Ile hung upon His cross. When
God educates the soul Ile does it in
solitude. All the great crises are
fought out in silence, when the
angels of (rod and the soul meet and
wrestle and self is defeated and God
is victorious. In solitude comes self-
reliance aril the full knowledge of
one's weakness and strength—full
power to order °tie's life.
But over against dint exclamation,
"No man cares for illy soul!" this
youth should set Paul's word: "God
cares for my soul." God cares! Oh,
what n thought is that! In the
power of thatthought the leaders

For rhes.• lonely ones the duty of the

Put away core and anxiety and

Mrs. I,. Dorey, Helnford, N.Ss, writes
us as follows :--" I was troubled with
dirtiness, weak spells and fluttering of
the heart. I procured a box of Afilburn's

A WARNING NOTE
FROM THE BACK.
People eirtfi say, "Mort' are are

kidneys, close to the email of the
back, renders the detection of
kirl�nn trouble a simple matter.
The�•te of warning comes from
the back, in the shape of backache.
IJ'on't neglect to cure it imme-
diately. Serious kidney trouble will
follow if you do. A few doses of
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS,
taken in time, often save years of
suffering. Mr. Horatio Till, (teary,

Year being 12,889,119. While tnnny of our native Companies are seeking
business abroad, some of them in distant parts sof the world. it is
thought by our Directors that good Canadian ini4ness is preferable to
foreign business, which 1s smcurcel with less certainty as to its quality,
and at excessive cost.

heretofore, principally in Mortgage loans on farms and city properties,
Bonds and Mun'cipal Debentures. The latter are taken into account at
their hook value or cost, which is considerably below their market value.
The demand for money was active during the year, at better rates than
for .some years past. result ing In a slight. advance in the rate of 'inter-
