Thosal)ad or good actions may count the circiiik of enany yeare; but corne back to us they ''ill ae certainly as that God site on the eirtele of the earth. Jezebel, the worst wonia.13 of the Bible, slew Naboth because she iv Opted his vineyard.

Oh, whateat swift, what an awful circuit !, Bittjt is sometimes the case that this cir- cle sW0eps through a century, or through manyOenturies. The world started with a theoctitcy for goverrimente that is, God was the pOsident and emperor of the world. Popl.c. got tired of a theocracy. They said, 'N'e dont want God directly inter- ferine !with the affairs of the world ; give us 4/monarchy." The world had a monarchy.

History tells us that in the making of the Pyramids it took two thousand men tWo years to drag one great stone from the qUarry and put it into the Pyramids. Well now, if men short-lived can afford to work so slowly as that, cannot God in the building of the eternities afford to wait? What though God should take ten thousand years to draw a circle? Shall we take out our little watch, which we hairs, to wind up every night lest it run down, and hold it up- beside the clock of eternal ages? If, according to the Bible, a thousand years are in God's sight as one day, then according to this calculation the sie thousand years of the world's existence have been only to God as from Monday to isBgSaturday.uue s often the.case that the .rebound and the circle is sooner complet- ed, You resolve that you will do what good you can. In one week you put a word of counsel in the heart of a Sabbath School child. During that same week you. give a letter of introduction to a young man struggling in business. During that same week you make an exhortation in a prayer meeting. It is all gone; yon will never hear of it perhaps, you think. A few years after a man comes up to you, and says, "You don't know me,- do you ?" You say, "No, I don't remember ever to have seen you." "Why," he says, "I was in the Sabliath Sehool over 'which you were the teacher ; one Sunday you invited me to Christ; I accepted the offer; you see that church with two towers yonder ?" "Yes," you say. He says, "That is where I preach," or, 'Do you see that governor's house? That is where I live." (inc day a man comes t� you, and says, "Good morning." You look at him, and say "Why, you have the advantage of me; I cannot place you." He says, "Don't you remember thirty -years ago giving a letter of introduction to a young man—a letter of introduction to l'kloses H. Grinnell?" "Yes, yes, I do." He says, "I am the man; that was my first step towards a fortune ; but I have retired from business now, and am giving n.iy time to philanthropiea. and public interest. Come up and see Inc." Or a man comes to you and says, want to intro- duce myself to you. I went into a prayer - meeting in ,Atlanta some years ago; 1 sat back by the door; you arose to make an exhortation; that talk changed the course of my life, and if I ever get to heaven, under God I will Owe my salvation to you." In only ten, twenty, or thirty years, the circle swept out and swept back again to your own grateful heart. Butsometimes it is a wider circle, and does not return for a great while. I saw a bill of expenses for burning Latimer and Ridley. The bill of expenses says : One load of fir fagots 38 4d Cartage for four loads of wood 2s Item, a post is 4d Item, two chains Item, two staples • 3s 46dd lteme• °s 8dfour laborers - That was a cheap fire, considering all the circuireitances; but it kindled a light that shone all around the world and aroused the martyr spirit, and out from that burning of Latimer and Ridley rolled the circle wider and wider, starting other circlee, convolut- ing, overrunning, circumscribing, overarch- ing all heaven—a circle. But what is true of the good is just as true of the bad. You utter a slander against your neighbor. It has gone forth from your teeth; it will never come back you think. You have done the man all the mischief you can. You rejoice to see him wince.. You say, "Didn't I give it to him !" That word has gone out, that elan- derous word, on its poisonoue and blasted way. You think it will never do you any .harm. But I am watching that word, and I see it beginning to curve, and it curves around, and it is aiming at your heart. You had better dodge it. You cannot dodge it. It rolls into your bosom, and after it rolls in a word of an old book, which says, "With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. ' You maltreat an aged parent. You be- grudged him the room in your house. You are impatient of his whimsicalities. and garrulity. It makes you mad to hear -him tell the same story twice. You give Ilan food he cannot masticate, You wish he was away. . You wonder if he is going to live forever. He will be gone very soon. His steps are shorter and -shorter. He is going to stop. But God has an account to settle with you on that subject. After a while your eye will ,be dim, and your gait will halt, and the seined of the grind- ing will be low'and you will tell the same, story twice, and your children will wonder if you are going to live forever, and wonder if you will never be taken away. They called you "father" -once; now - they call you the "old -man." If you live a few years longer, they will call- you the "old chap !" What are those rough words with which yotir children are accost- ing you? They are the echo of the very words you used in the ear of your old father forty years ago. What is that which you are trying to chew, but ,find it unmasticable, and your jaws ache, and you surrender the attempt? Perhaps it may be the gristle which you gave to yourfather for his breakfast forty years ago? A gentleman passing along the street saw a son dragging his father into the street by the hair of the head. The gentle- man, outraged at this brutal conduct, was about to punish the offender'when the old man arose and said: "Don't hurt him ; it's all right; forty years ago this Morning I dragged my father out by the hair of his head !" It is a circle. My father lived. into the eighties, and he had a very wide experience, and he said that maltreatment of parents was always punished in this worid. Other sins may be adjourned to the next world, but inaltreatment of parents punished in this world. The circle turns quickly, very quickly. Oh, what a stupendous thought' that the good and the evil we start come back to us. Do you know that the judgment day will be only the points at which the circles. join, the good and the bad we have done coining hack to us, unless divine interven- -tion hinder—corning back to us with wel- come of delight or curse of condemnation. Mexico as a. Resort. "Mexico is a queer country,", remarked a legal friend who had just returned from a trip there. The best hotel in the City of Mexico is a poor sort of an affair by the side of our New York hostelries. We couldn't get a room with a bath. I had to use the public bath connected with the hotel. Paid 25 cents. Nearly everything is 25 cents. We paid 25 cents for our beer and 25 cents for our baseady and soda. The waiters are worse than the New York article. They never bring you the correct change. They are natives, and the worst set of robbers out of jail:" A NOVELTY IN CHURCH. ELECTRICITY SUPPLANTS THE HON- ORABLE AND ANCIENT CANDLE. Catholic Innovation in New York -.A Great Church :Brilliantly and Artisti- cally Lighted -Splendid Symbolical Ef- fects 7S?"ever Before Shown -.t Descrip- tion. Electricity in a Catholic Church! That's the very latest novelty at this center of novelties. The pioneer church in question is St. Francis Xavier, New York. This church can now claim the distinction of be. mgtne most complete electrically lighted church in the United States, if not in the world. The significance of such an innovation is very great, the more so when we consider the fact that the carrying to success of the scheme meant oVercoming a decided opposi- tion from the Archbishop of New York. One of the largest points in favor of the present departure is, that by means of the electric current there may be obtained sym- bolical and hence ritualistic effects not pos- sible by any other agent. STATUE UNDER ELECTRIC CROWN.. The first occasion when the electric plant was used occurred during the Christmas festivities. It is needless to say that the brilliant illumination served very much to heighten the general effect. Generally speaking there are 2,000 lights on the main floor of all kinds shapes and colors. These are conveniently divided up and controlled by sixty -,two switches. The switchboard is in the vestry. Here is the central station from which everything is controlled. Individual circuits irevail everywhere. Every capital of every column is surmounted by a row of 16 -candle power lamps, and each, together with all other points of vantage, is individually controlled from the vestry. Thus l all parts of the charch may be collectively or separately lighted. the operator remaining unseen. The increased effect of 'this, as compared with the old style method, were an atten- dant makes a circuit of the auditorium with a lighner on the end of a, pole, will be read. ily seen. A GRAND EFFECT. All -along the main body of the church the pillar capitals are studded with opales- cent jets of 16 -candle power. To one side candelabra of complicated design are brought into vivid relief by their pendant spheres of incandescent light. The whole effect is very grand. Directly in front, the main altar, set into an immense alcove which almost forms one end of the church, is one glare ot incandescent light. Row upon row of sixteen-candie lamps, set ex- ceedingly close together, extend in terrace style from floor to roof. 1The _concave ar- rangement of the altar-niehe, together with the many brass ornamehts therein, con- centrate and • reflect the generated light, returning it to the main body of the church reinforced beyond measure. In the tabernacle the theory of the "presence" is forcibly brought to mind by an arrange- ment which bring its visible contents into bold relief. Turning to the left of the church we come to the altar of the Sacred Heart. This altar is, electrically conaidered, the most extensively lighted one ever niade. Con- spicuously_surmounting the front arch of the alcove is a flaming cross composed of 16 opalescent globes. Trailing downward from each s ide of this is -a vine among - whose gilt foliage shone clusters of fruit, made of miniattire incandescent lamps especially shaped ,for the purpose. Above and back_ of the accompanying statue of the altar is another and smaller arching grape -vine, the clusters of fruit on which are composed of tiny specks of white and purple flarne. Just within the inclosure are swinging candelabra in the shape of palm -leaf clusters, from the center of which large opalescent 16 -candle power lamps add to the general effect. Farther back the color of & pink rose, among some foliage on the wall, is heightened by a fed lamp, concealed among the petals. Far up at the top of the alcove, concealed by proscenium arch, are 30 16 -candle power incandescent lamps, whose light is concentrated and projected downward by means of corrugated glass reflector, thus bringing the altar below in strong relief with the other contents of the alcove. The electrical installation of the Church of St. Francis Xavier cost over $15,000.. New Chinese Minister. 1' Mr. O'Conor, the new British Minister to - China, claims descent from the Irish King Roderick O'Conor. - There were two fami- lies making such pretensions not many years ago, and one triedto prevent the other.from spelling its name with only one "n." A discussion was carried on in the local newspapers, which, from. its great length and the subject matter of dispute, acquired the name of the 1"N -less" corre- spondence. The quarrel increased in acri- mony, until at last it was :determined that tbe point in dispute should be referred to the arbitration of Ulster King -at -arms, Sir Bummed Burke. This diplernatic personage decided that the two families had a common ancestor, and that the two: lines might, as they pleased, use one or tvio "n's." Rev.

Ziemann, of Sebringville, who was supposed to be a bachelor, has really been a benedict since the 20th of August last when he was married to Miss Lillian Tailor, daughter of Mr. Robert Taylor, of Sebringville. The marriage to ik place at Hamiltan, where Miss Taylor was visiting at the time. The reason for the secrecy maintained is said to be the obje2tion of Mr. Ziemann's parents to hie marrying any- one but a German girl.
