MEANING OF "PRIEND." 'Plies see also find that the WOCO "filendS" of my text has an elate ely differetit meaning emit what the cas- ual reae.er might at fest suppose. The modern. word "hiend" in popu- lar discourse Emma an acquaintance, ore with whom we can socially pais a pleasant hour, one who is upon , our callieg list, one who invites us to his home es we may invite lean to 01:7' daughter's weaoing patty for his company. But In ancient times the Biblieril word -f tend!had a deeper, holier meaning. It meant ore who in the tritest and purest sense bad his life wrapped up in our life. As John Wesley gave the defini- tion "it meant one wbo was bound to us by self sacrifice and ti 0 blood relation of tho atoning cross." It meant a Chrietian brother. The modern deflretion of the word "Mend" is as differert t oni t e Bib- lical as a, wolf travelleg mound in sheep's clothing is at 1 eart different from a. lamb.

I em surprised at your an- swer. I run amazed, first, that you are such a poor analyzer of huraost diameter and, secondly, that you have not found out the error of your belief by personal experience. THE DEMON OP ENVY. Ready are you to grant that ene- mies rejoice at your overthrow and are sorry at our triumphs. But in one sense many of our acquaintances are actuated by the same motives. When tripped up in the taco of life many of our friends are ready to say: "Poor fellow! Is it not too bad that my friend So-and-so failed In business? Is it not too bad that John lost all the money he inherit- ed from his father?" But they often sympathize with us in the self conn placont way which, translated in the ordinary language of life, means; "It is too bad, but if • John haA only been as smart as I ane he would nov- er 'lave lout his money. Now he is Just as poor as the rest of us, and ho can no longer live in a fine house or have his daughter taking music lessons or his son go to college."

Practical advice for this elassifIce.- . tion : Prom the bad men turn away your face with lirm resolve. You cannot associate with scoundrels without you yourself becoming a party to their infamiee. With the "doebtful class" of associates be nary chary of your friendshie. Never allow any one to enter the inner charabere of your heart until be has proved his virtue and nobility be- yond all doubt. Tbe third Mass of your aoquain- tances represents God's noblomon. Tbeso eau be ntunbered among the blessed few Who are spiritually try- ing to make the most out of their lives. These seek, these trust, these . hind to you by the unbreakable ties ' of affection. Those cherish all through life, ,up to the brink of the grave. These ego the Mud of Biblical aionris to whom the apostle John sent his gospel salutation.

Why do I state this truth? Because, my hearer, I watt you to maitre; the reason you dislilce some of the friends of your youth. It is not be- cause they are untrue to you, but you are untrue to them. It is not because you have made a failure that they reluso to have anything to do with you. It is because they have made a success time you refuse to have anything to do with them. Oh, tho poisonous fangs of Satanic envy! It is a fiendish enemy, which does its deadly work in the poor man's hut as well as in the rich man's palace. REefEellIER THE ABSENT. But, oh, hoe' easy it is to forgot our absent friends! How easy to got careless about sending the tender salutations of affection which St. John sent to his beloved Gatus when he wrote, "Greet the friends by name!" How easy when sickness comes or death comes into the home to neglect the Written words of sym- pathy! When we are afar off, how easy amid pressing cares not to send the letter of encouragement and ad- vice and warning which would belp keep that young man from turning to the left into the path of sin when he should keep straight in the mar - now path of virtue! My brother, are you doing your duty, your Chris- tian duty, to that absent friend? You know you had a mighty influ- nce for good when you wore by her aide. Shall you drop that infhionee for good meraly because you cannot touch lii iutnd or appeal to him ex- cept through, 'the influence of the written page? STRONGER THAN DEATH. True friendship is proof, also, not only against absence, but survivea death itself. The widow of youv friend and his fatherless children, his brother and sister and all whom he loved will, if you are a true friend. bone Menus on you which you will recognize. When David became king of Terme, olio of the first things he did Was to send messengers throng/a the length and breadth of his king- dom to see if there Was any of Saul's fatally living to whom he could shotv kindness, for bis friend Jonathan's sake, You can do no- thing for Jonathan dead, but, fol. thoao Whom he Rived bettor than his life you my clo much, How better can you prove yourself a. truo friend than by heipleg thein for his sake?

Christ cerne to eitve a world, but °Islet again and again wended his way out of Jerusalem over the Judean little to lodge in Bethany with Mary arid Illertba and Lazartm, who were his true friends. Christ came to save a world, but whou he partook of the lest supper ho gathered about him the twelve, even though he knew ono Of those was a traitor. Thus Yoe should have your sacred friends in Christ. You should have those Sac- red friend e Paul had them and John had them and Peter had them. Wo should have those Christian friends about us who will lift us up instead of dragging us down - friends with whom we can laugh and sing and romp and play; frioads with whom we can while away a vacation, but also true friends, with whom we can rejoico in their prosperity, and with whom we care weep over the casket, and with whom, we can kneel In prayer -true frionde, who are true to us because they are true to Christ. Thus I bid you do as St. John commanded Gents, "Greet the friends by nante." Greet them col- lectively.iedlua.iHold fast to thont as in ONION'S FOR THE DUMPS. If You “Beefinaevse” An yAtTthaeonik of the Don't smile at a man who has a fit of the "blues" ---nor at a woman either, for that matter. It is 0. com- mon practice to treat this complaint lightly, to talk jocularly about tho liver, and say, more or less openly, that tho sufferer has dined too well. As a matter of fact, it is one of the most eorious of maladies, for, while suffering from the blues, a man is inclined to do rash things, and - he may very quickly plunge himself and his family into a sea of trouble that will cone; noar swallowing thorn up. It may be that your liver is troub- ling you, or the depression may be due to other causes; it is of import- ance to you to find a remedy with- out delay. The doctor may prescribe a change of air, width it is not pos- sible to have, and he may give you a tonic. The latest, and most home- ly remedy for this complaint is -on - tonal There ean be no manner of doubt concerning tho effect of this remedy on a large number of people. As soon as they managed to eat a slice or two of a small raw onion (which feat they accomplish with the help of bread, probably), then they who have been miserable begin to laugh, their epirita rise, they see through rose-colored glasses, and generally act in a, way diametrically opposed to their previous behaviour. If You hem; an attaek, try this remedy. There is one drawback which every- one will recognize, but there are re- cipes for ridding oneself of the in- visible signs of the repast! NEW KIND OF CATARRH. Physiciates in London have discov- ered a new disease, which they call "the dancer's catarrh." According to them, it only attacks professional dancers, and especially those who are members of a ballet. After execut- ing 'a few steps the dancer, they sity, feels a sharp pain ill the nose, and this is the first ayraptom of the mal- ady. Soon .afterwards the nostrils become inflamed and the ditioase as- sumes a form very similar to that of influenza. The physicians are trying bard to discover a remedy for the disease and are confidant that in time thoy will succeed. Meanwhile several persons in London aro seller- ing so much from "dancer's catarrh" that they have been obliged to cancel their engagements. 4 WHY NE DID NOT RISE.
