Why leave for the evening shadows
The duties of early day?
. Why grudge until bleak December
The kindness we owe in May?
'T.is time for the bud and blossom
When skies are serene and blue;
Who soweth in chilly autumn
Reaps harvest of bitted rue.
Thy frown or thy harsh uuldndness,
As bitter as draught of gall,
May sting thee as scourge of nettles
Ere lowers night's sable pall;
Beware lest thy tardy kisses
Pall madly on lips of clay,
Or heart thou this morn couldst com-
fort
Be pulseless ere close of day.
Be kind while Life's morn still lingers;
Thy love and thy helpful hands
Shall be as the founts of water
To wander o'er desert sends;
A word from the heart, in kindness,
May p€eree the gray mists of pain,
And arch o'er the hills eternal
The rainbow of hope again.
-Marey E. Killilee.
Prayer.
Our God and Father, we come to Thee
as those whom sin has smitten and who
have been made sick and blind by its
deadly stroke. Unless Thou shalt heal
and save us, 0 God, we must die. We
thank Thee that Thou hast provided a
remedy. We bless Thee for Jesus Christ
Thy Son, whose suffering brings us
health, and by whose death we live. Help
us to lift our eyes to Him, exalted once
upon the cross and now upon the throne,
but evermore a Prince and Saviour, who
gives repentance to His people and the
remission of their sins. Believing in
Him, may we find forgiveness and deliv-
erance. May our lives be made pure and
strong and fit for the service of our
Heavenly King. May there begin within
us, even now, that life eternal which
springs from the knowledge and love of
God. Amen.
Wear Your Troubles Inside.
Many a man gets into the habit of
carrying his troubles in his face. The
eyes tell it. the droop of the lip speaks
it, and bowed head reveals it, and the
footfall is full of it. He has run up the
flag at half-mast. and he carries it every-
where, so that his whole little world is
compelled to know his, sorrow. Is this
natural? Possibly. Is it wise? Proba-
bly not Is it fair? Surely not. Is it a
sign of weakness? Undoubtedly it is. is
there a better way? Surely there is.
First, a man must make up his mind to
expect his share of trouble, and perhaps
at little more. Then he should. Makexi'rli,
his mind to bear his trouble manfully,
i. e., with patienee, with courage, and
with hope. The world has enough trou-
ble of its own; let us not add to its bur-
den! It should bo the aim of every
Christian man and woman to become
strong, and when strength is won to use
that strength in bearing thr burdens of
others. Every sorrow mas ered, every
burden borne inside instead of outside,
makes us stronger, and leaves the world
brighter. Learn to smile, get the habit
of it: learn to sing, make it also a
habit; and you will be surprised how
much brighter it makes the world, not
only to others, but to yourself! The
emile and the song lessen the burden and
light up the way, -Christian Guardian.
The Paths of Death.
There are two folds upon the hill,
And one is lone and very still
Only the rustle of a leaf
Gives happy sound of life and stir,
And warbles bubbling bright and brief
Where the bird skims with fearless whirr,
Or a bee rifling on his way
The honey from a wild -rose splay,
Sometimes a soft and summer shower
Drops gentle music hour by hour,
Or a long breath of wandering air
Makes melancholy murmur there,
And all is calm and full of peace
There where the dead have sweet sur-
cease.
Within that other place of graves
The wild rains fall, the wild wind raves
In every dusky alley met
Sad ghosts, who beat an aching breast
With anguished longing and regret,
Remember that they once were blest,
The heart gone out of• them, the soul
Fled onward to some unkniwn goal.
For them no glad and further year,
Ashes the rose, and beauty sere,
Without a wish except to fill
Their eyes with dust -the dead who still
With ruined hope and joyless mirth
Go to and fro upon the eaxthl
-Harriet Prescott Spofford, in Scrib-
ner's.
The Omnipresence. of God.
It bas been well said that there is no
part of the Bible in which the great at-
tributes ' of. God -His omniscience, His
omnipresence and His omnipotence --are
stated with such impressive splendor as
in Psal m137. It is the utterance of a de-
vout and reverent and noble soul, awed
and humbled by the thought of One
whose knowledge embrases the whole de-
tails, and before whose all seeing eye the
secret things of life are naked and open.
His mind is overwhelmed at the thought
i of the divine omnipresence, so that His
presence and power are felt in the ut-
termost reaches of infinite space as well
as near at hand. It is no local or tribal
, deity that rises before the mind of the
Psalmist, but One who 18 all knowing,
everywhere present, and all pewerful,the
great Pirst Cause, the energizing SARI.
controlling force at the heart of the uni-
Verue.
And it is no Pantheistic conception of
Goa that we find in this psalm. God is
imminent in the universe, but He also
transcends it. The personality of God
as distinct from all created things and
as distinct from all human personalities
is clearly stated.
'1'o us children of an hour, living mit
little round and with our narrowed range
of vision, this cohcoptien of thedivine
omnipresence is one at once to awe and
inspire. The thought that God is every-
where, and that nothing can separate
us from His love and protecting care is
a precious thought to the one • who has
learned to know Him in. Jesus Christ as
the Father of infinite and unchanging
love. By sea or by land, in sunshine or
in storm, amid all the varied experiences
of life, we know that He is near, and
our hearts are nude glad 'este brave and
strong. Distance from home and friends
cannot separate us, and no dark cloud
of trouble can hide us. from the sunshine
of His presence. The divine omnipresence
is more than a metaphysical conception:
it is a blessed practical reality, full of
comfort and cheer to those who have
learned that at the heart of all things,
controlling and energizing all things, and
present in every part, there is one to
who mwe oan look up with loving trust
and call our Father.
But there is another side of the shield.
The truth that is full of comfort to the
one who is seeking to bring his will in-
to harmony with the 'divine will, is full
of terror to the one whose life is in an-
tagonism .to the great law of righteous-
ness, and in whose deepest heart there
is the sense of guilt and unforgiven sin,
It is a commonplace and. yet an impor-
tant thought that a man, go where he
will, can never get away from himself
or from God. The guilty man flees from
the presence of hie fellows and seeks
to bury himself out of the sight orf ig11
who know him, but many a man has re-
alized in hie own bitter experience the
truth of the Psalmist's words: "If I say,
surely the darkness shall cover me; even
the night shall be light about me. Yea,
the darkness hideth not from Thee: but
the night shineth as the day: bhe dark-
ness and the light are both alike to
Thee." M. McGregor.
The Power of Christ.
There is an invisible source of energy
of which everyone may avail himself;
but this energy is available . only for
good, never for evil It is more than
a match for all the evil forces which
combine to turn us away limn the right
way. It is abundantly sufficient to sup-
port us in all the adversities of this
world. It is fully adequate to any bur-
dens of duty which may be laid upon us.
Paul was greatly afflicted. He calls
his affliction a thorn in the flesh. What
that was we know not, except that it
was some exceedingly sharp pain. He
prayed three times for its removal, and
this is the answer he received, "My
grace is sufficient for thee." The grace
of Christ is an inward energy which
He bestows on all those who follow Him
and trust in Him. Paul felt himself
stronger with his affliction than without
it, because of the support of this grace.
Therefore lie says; .."I will glory in ray
fire it, t,' . $e li>td other things in
ire' i it giniy :Ile'�'•ile"d a won-
derful visions He was caught up into
the third heaven, where he saw' and
heard things which it was not lawful
to tell. But he' would not glory in this
vision. He rather glories in his afflic-
tion, because this furnishes a splendid
opportunity for the grace of God to
manifest' itself through him. No matter
what comes so it be a channel for the
grace of God to flow into the soul. "I
will glory in my infirmity that the
power of Christ may rest upon me."
Let no one flee from his affliction.
Let him not fear tribulation. Terrible
as it may seem, grace is more than a
match for it. The power of Christ is the
chief thing. We may be weak and help-
less in ourselves, but nothing is too
hard for us if the power of Christ shall
rest upon us.
The Gospel of the Out -of -Doors.
God's great, bright, free, living, out-of-
doors was meant for man, and man was
meant for it, and he cannot be separated
from it without suffering loss. The truth
of this the wearied nerves, the weakened
muscles, the lowered vitality of the city
dwellers abundantly attest. It is hard
to live the 'artificial life without paying
the penalty of it. It seems natural for
a healthy man to love the out-of-doors.
The menstains excite him, the lake en-
chants him, the forest seems like a long -
forgotten friend, the freedom of tee
unpoisoned air gives strange zest to life.
The quiet sunset hour is full of a never -
to -be -forgotten glory and a strange yet
welcome peace. To the wearied son of
Adam comes the thought that Jacob
voiced so long ago, "Lo! God is here."
Here is health, vigor, freedom, and he
must be of peculiar temperament who
does not feel the gladness of this gospel
of the out-of-doors. It is sane and re-
freshing; it is wise and true; it is pure
and strong; it is freedom incarnate,
Thank God or the sunny welcome
wearied workers find in this great out-
door world.
A Tornado of Stars.
Scattered throughout . the unfathom-
able realms of infinite space, some trav-
elling in a, defined orbit round the sun,
some apparently aimless wanderers of
the aether, some weighing Many tons,
some not more than an ounce or two,
are eonntleee myriads of bodies, mostly
metallic, ever careering through the
void at a velocity, computed at about
twenty to thirty miles every sec aid of

tile fired from a modern cannon is con-
siderably less than three housancl feet -
about half e. mile -in a second). And
ever onwards and onwards through the
wilderness of the illimitable these errant
wanderers pursue their lightning career;
nihil, coining within the attractive

In November, 1SGG,• our earth passed
through a vast aggregation of these met-
eoric stones, the result being a b ;i.geent
of weird and une.0passe4 splendor and
sublimity. As night approached, from
time to. time 'a faintly apparent, curved
streak of light, almost as bright as the
gradually appearing stars, .coursed across
the skies; soon, as the dayTight waned
more and more, increasing both in bril-
liancy and in number; until, twilight
having disappeared, the heavens were, on
fire, the constellations *;blaze, and myr-
iads of fiery stars, no longer placidly
scintillating in the midnight sky, but
wildly hurtling downwards toward the
earth, leaving in their train a long trail
of throbbing light, as though the tocsin
of the day of doom had been struck and
some mighty force were overwhelming
the universe itself in ruin and ttisrul,tion,
And so it continued, hour after hour
ever more and more awe-inspiring, ever
more and more startling and bewildering,
a very tornado, hurricane of fiery stars.
And then towards morning the torrent
ceased, and the scintillant constellations
once more glittered placidly in the skies.
But a day will cone when,, in the met-
aphorical language of Scripture, the
stars shall fail from heaven and the pow-
ers of the heavens shall be shaken. And
then shall those who have served and
obeyed their God be filled with exquisite
joy. -For He, by whose stripes they were
healed, will then appear in his glory,
and will accord to them His loving wel-
come, and gracious recognition. But.
those who had forgotten Him will teen

CRAZY I{ERSELF.
She Did Not Want Her Chitelreu to
Grow Up to be Crazy.
A Buffalo despatch: Mrs. 1•l:und, who
strangled her three children yesterday,
made a statement to Supt. Regan yes-
terday afternoon. She told her story
quietly and .apparently • without realiza-
tion of the horrixying aspect of the mur-
ders. Her statement was as follows:
"I knew 1 was crazy. Illy father was
crazy and killed himself in Germany.
I11y o andiather was also crazy. .Every
day 1 would look at y children and
think what au -awful thing it would be
to have them grow up and be crazy as
all their relatives were. I never spoke
to my husband about it, but 1 felt that
something should be done for the chil-
dren. This morning after my husband
had gone to work the idea came to me
that 1 should kill them. I went around
to the .bele and •joked ,at then. They
were all. sleeping and 1 sat down and
read.. the Bilk a few minutes. Then
I got a clothesline, fastened it about
i the baby's meek and pelted it up tight.
After that I went, to Where Christ. was
sleeping on a mattress in the parlor. 1
threw a ' blanket over his head.* He
fought me but soon became quiet.
Helen was asleep in a crib just across
from Christ. I killed her with a piece
of rope and then .carried her into the
bedroom. Then .1 thought 1 would tell
my husband about it I think I have
done the right thing. I feel sure my
children would have been crazy, had I
allowed them to live."
Mrs. Mand has been committed to the
jail charged with murder.

TRIED TO KILL WIFE.
With a Pair of Tailor's Shears,
Theis Jumped to Death.
New York, Sept. 30. -Despondent as
a result of ill health and reverses, Harry
Ohernock, a garment cutter, aged 30
years, to -day made an attempt to kill his
wife by stabbing herewith a pair of tail-
or's shears and then juanped from a
fourth storey window,' receiving injuries
from which he died in a hospital a few
hours later.
For six months Ohernock had been so
ill that he was una.ble to work. To
support their five-year-old son and her
husband, i rs, Clliernock went to work in
a. sweatshop at small wages. When
Chernock saw his wife growing pale and
haggard from her toil it preyed on his
mind.
" DELEGATES HELD UP.
Ministers Charged at Newton, Mass.,
With Fast Motoring.
Boston, Sept. 30. -Two hundred min-
isters and ladies delegates to the In-
ternational Couneil of Religions Liber-
ties, now in session here, occupying in
all more than 40 autos, were held up
by the police of Newton and charged
with driving their machines in excess of
the speed limit. The names of 'many
of them, and the auto numbers, were
taken, and it is likely that all will be
summoned into court to answer the
charges against them. Mrs, E. A.
Thomas and Miss C. Owens, delegates
from Toronto, are said to have been in
the party.
The party, consisting . of about 100
ministers and as many more lady dele-
gates, left their headquarters on Beacon
street early in the afternoon, the guests
of Rev. and Airs. Elbert Hudson, of New-
ton. They Visited Wellesley College and
were on their way* home, and near the
Newton city hospital, when the unpleas•
ant occurrence took place.
All were obliged to dismount and sub-
mit to inquiries. After the names were
taken they, were allowed its continue
their • tour. Indignation reigned, and
at first ninny hotheads nearly forgot
themselves.

Montreal -Tightness of money contin-
ues a big factor df trade. The feeling
that the situation is slowly improving
continues to grow. There is still a very
great demand for money. Wholesale
trade generally holds brisk. In drygoods
it is now stated retailers' stocks are un-
expectedly light owing to good brisk
selling oY summer lines during August.
Orders for winter lines continue brisk
and values hold firm in tone. Manufae-
turefe of made-up goods report deliver-
ies better than at this time a year age.
A very heavy trade is being done in
men's ready-made clothing. The output
this season during the fall and winter
will be very large despite the fact that
prices show a general advance. The de-
mand too, is particularly :heavy for lines
of quality. Cotton manufacturers have
orders for far into 1008. Groceries are
more active. Teas hold ficin. Butter and
cheese are firm. Exports of these lines
continue light. Hides aro weak in tone.
Boot and shoe manufacturers are busy
and good orders are coming forward for
winter lines. Collections are generally
fair.
Toronto -A.11 lines of business continue
to move satisfactorily here. Wholesale
tradeis brisk and there is a general feel-
ing ofsatisfaction regarding the outlook
for future trade. In all linea of trade
a healthy conservative tone is notiee-
able. The period of tight money and of
slightly lessened briskness in some lines
of activity have been a warning that has
been taken to heart in a way that prom-
ises well for the trade of the country at
large. Dry goods men report a. brisk
trade. The better lines of dress goods are
in heavy demand. Prices are .generally
steady to firm. No decline 18 looked for
in cotton prices. Orders to mills continue
heavy. Grocers report an excellent bus-
iness. from the west and the northern
country. Staples are in good demand
and generally firm in tone, Sugar is
firm. The demand for canned goods is
active. The hardware trade holds a good
tone. Sporting goods and general win-
ter lines are moving iveli. It is said
here there will be rather less building
going on a year from now, which will
mean a somewhat Iess active demand for
supplies. At the present they are in
good demand. Country trade is fair and
expected to•improve towards next month.
Country produce is coming forward in

be sent to the hospital, and who svelte
suffering from the very worst sorts dr
diseases. Mr. C. W. Mogridge produced .aa
circular which he said has been cireuldt-'
ed freely in the ward, which openly ad-
vertises that the man whose signature
is attached will secure "permits for
orcrippled people to be landed in Cao.-
oraMr. Wm. Banks declared that a gargle •
percentage of the low grade newcomers
entered Canada via the United States,.
having landed in America at 'Baltimore
or Boston.
Mr. D. Miller declared that the lyds-
representation practised upon would-be
immigrants by steamship companies a02t •
the "unemployed bodies" was a cryiee
shame. It was told to poor people kW'
London that they need not take money
with them, because on arrival in 0a51 -
cede they would be tendered a hearty re-
ception and given good work at once.
Mr. Chamberlain, of the•Biitish Wel
come League, told of cases under his •
notice where the immigrant had been
told. by Colonel Lamb, of the immigra-
tion department of the Salvation Army,
that they need only "walk into the cis?'
to get desirable work."
Another abuse of the newcomer to
this country was pointed out by Ms
!Banks, who said that certain large
Canadian corporations acting througto'
agents in the old country brought men
out here under contract to work iriafs•'•
finitely at the rate of $1,75 per day.
Mr, J. M. Gander said it was a erimae
to import nren with clerical qual�fica-
tions only, as Canada produced all teras
clerks she wanted.
