MY FRIEND.
BY N. B.
Do you love this precious Jesus?
Love Him more, mach. more,
He deserves our heart's affection,
" Yes, for evermore.
There is naught on earth so precious,
None so kind and true.
Fife has spoken the word so precious,
Peace I give to you.
Do we find in him sweet comfort,
Though much ill betide.
He with friendly counsel soothe ns.
. In His love confide.
Should.. the way sometimes seem cloaay,
Yet we'll ne'er despair,
For that Sun of light is shining
In warmest beams somewhere.
Cloadsall have their silver lining,
Every life their sunny side,
Sorrows have an ending son3ewhere,
Just beyond the tide.
While we live, Oh, live for Jesus,
Love him, and obey,
If to bear, is hid sweet bidding,
Bear, yet toil away.
God has some mysterious workings.
Ask not the why -for, '
For in due time we shall know it.
Turst him, love him more.
Take it all by faith, dear brother,
To that Friend in prayer,
He will give yon peace, yes sister,
Peace yon cannot -find elsewhere.

PITLPIT ADVERTISING.
CLINTON, July 1889.
To the editor of the New Era.
DEAR SIR.—The attention of many
has no doubt been directed to a cer-
tain misuse of the publicity of our
Christian pulpits. They are, to a
great extent, made use of 89 , adver-
tising mediums. The world, with its
rush of business, is always disposed to
usurp and intrude upon sacred ordin-
ance. This is clearly to be observed
in the management of our railway
- systems, and also in the di -position of
a certain portion of the public to do
• many things which are doubtless far
removed from the true spirit of the
Sabbath. Our ministers are probably
very unwilling• agents in the matter.
Still it does seem incongruous and in•
harmonious to see our ministers • eta -
r. Cols pulpits for the express pur-
r,
pose of directing the worship of a re-
ligious assembly, and at the same
time, either before or after 'the ser-
' mon, or just before the apostle bene-
diction is pronounced, to have to give
notice of certain entertainments that
have no connection with church work,
or of some excursion, or of some pic-
nic, or of some ice cream social, or of
some other thing that,, would like to
advertise itself by raising its discor-
dant voice in unison with the voice of
prayer and worship. Imagine the
effect on the mind, either before or
after serious thoughts on God's holy
word. We are called upon to guard
our thoughts, and especially so on
I ttie Sabbath ; but these various an.
nouneements must have a disturbing
effect on the state of mind which is
best fitted to consider eternal and
heavenly matters. It is interesting
to notice the effect of the announce-
ment of a Sabbath School picnic up-
N.- -on the minds of the chiloren. As
they issue from the -school 'you.would
scarcely supnose that they had been
at Sabbath School. They are full of
the prospect, and if any of thein may
have been seriously impressed by the
earne4t words of an earnest teacher, it
is quite likely the effect will be ef-
faced before it will have had time to
stamp itself upon a 3ouug and im-
pressible soul. Our ininiste-r in his
public prayer, and we with him, be-
seech the spirit to call in all our wan•
dering thoughts, and yet, during the
same service, we presumptuw.isly act
in direct opposition to our prayers,
by deliberately having, our tnou,shts
set in an entirely reverse direction.
Permit a quotation from the 93th
psalm, 1. 6. "0 come'°let us sing to
the Lord. Come let us every one a
joyful noise make to the Rock of or •
,41„,.. salvation. 0 come and let us wor-
ship him. Let us bow down withr
aaa on our knees before the Lord our
Maker let us fall.'' A minister must
surely feel that he i9 compelled to act
a strange part, when he adverts, ;
some of the things he does, after a
prayer or after such words just quote 1.
Yours truly,
X. Y. Z.

, A diabolical crim.l was per'pe-
'•t•ated in the lis iifi/lnite Church,
ive miles north of Bright, last
Thursday night. A person was
seen coming mit of the church at
nine o'clock at night. Imme(li-
ately after fire was soon to issue
from the chimney. Mr :Ilcnno
Bean went into the church next
morning, and, on examining a
stove, found the head of a child
with the body cremated. It had
boon saturate/ with anal r,ir.
THE MISSING AERONAUT j' THE FARMER'S WIFE.
The balloonist who goes often
to the sky is almost certain to
come to grief sooner or later. We
all remember the fate of poor
Donaldson, the intrepid aeronout,
who perished in Lake Michigan a
few years ago. He has had many
imitators, and more than one of
these has met a similar fate with-
in the last year or two: E. D.
Hogan, the man who undertook
te 'navigate' the sky in an air
ship, and who hasnow been miss-
ing for several days, is likely to
be added to the list. It is believed
Hogan was carried to sea and lost,
being first suffocated by escaping
gas. The dispatches give no hope
of his turning up alive, unless he
has been picked up by a passing
vessel. Hogan was g7 years of
age, and a "tchigander. In his
earlier life he worked in a mill,
devoting his spare time to the
construction of a balloon and to
the perusal of all the 'books on
ballooning he could get hold of,
one ascension when he was a boy
having fired hip with ambition to
become aprofessions.. sky -climber.
He mads over 690 ascensions, and
was the Srst man to make the
parachute jump with the 'chute'
closed when he jumped. His high-
est jump was his first one, made
at Jackson, April 4, 1888, when
he dropped almost 10,000 feet.
Asa balloonist he was recognized
as one of the most daring in the
country. He had many warnings
of the danger of his profession.—
Last year, while giving an illus-
tration of his work at Hamitton,
Ont., he ascended from Dundurn
Park, and was carried over the
bay into which he was dropped
and would have,been drowned but
for the timely assistance of' Messrs
Dladdocks, Came -on, Brown and
Hemphill, who were boating in
the locality. Warnings of this
description were all lost on the
enthusiast, however, and his mel-
oncholy end has now to be chron•
icled.
HARASSING NORTHWEST
SETTLERS.
--
The- latest step laken by the
minister of the interior with the
view of harassing settlers in the
Alberta district is an effort to
make them pay for the dead tim-
ber which they have used in build-
ing their houses. and fences. Ac-
counts have been sent to settlers
by the crown timber agent at Cal-
gary for dues upon building logs
and fencing used without the
authority of the department, ac-
companied by a circular 'giving
warning that unless the accounts
were paid within ninety days
double dues will be collected. The
Fort McLeod Gazette, a Conser-
vative, says this circular is one
that a government professedly
anxious to colonize the country
should be proud of. It adds that
during the past fine yew's the
government had done some extra-
ordinary things, and it has time
and again seen the greatest indig-
nation aroused among the people
by some unjust action on the part
of the government towardssettlers
but the wide spread indignation
and anger which this latest out-
rage has excites throws every-
thing else in the shade. The Gaz-
ette assures the government that
the people arc fighting mad, and
that unless they desist from this
last attempt at extortion, there
will be trouble. The peonle, it
say,•will not pay these bills, and
that steps are now being taken to
hold a mass meeting in order that
an organized effort may he made
to induce the - government to
change their minds T'ogarding this
tax, or failing that to devise means
tor resisting' its payment. .It ap-
pears that in nearly all cases the
parties to whom these dues are
charged pt" -chased their logs and
rails r'om Others, • and have to
many arses hal them' in use for
years. The men who r r.; asked
t:) pay these dues aro not spoon-
late'•s, but bona fide set,lers, who
ase irnpto%ing the counay, In
some cases they are Men who can-
not get an entry for their lands be-
cause- they at on leases. The ab-
surd part of' the thin* theGazette
points out, is that the charge is
made fol. dead timber. This timber
iy wot•th absolutely nothing to
the government. It is realty the
reve••se, for if it were not for it
there would be no forest fi"es.
These fi••es get started in the dead
timber, and when once under way
burn immense quantities of valu-
able --growing timber. Tho govern.-
moot-should
overn-moot should be glad to get rid of
it, Without 1P•ring bona fide set-
tlers for what they actually need
for balding and fencing purposes.

and no allowance k made for tim-
ber which a settler is eniit'r"i to

tions. What does Mr Dewdney

The ehadowe lengthen on the lawn,
The day is almost peat :
The weary wife, from early dawn,
A steady coarse has run.
Faithful and constant, doing all
Within her woman's power
To let some rays of gladness tall
From her own scanty dower.
She cooked the meals with special care,
Her husband ate in silence grim ;
A word of praise—a treasure rare—
Had saved•her eyes from being dim.
But tears will fall ; "I'm so alone,"
In plaintive tones she said :
"I've tried to win some praise from
I might as well be dead." f John,
Just then her chicks came chirping ap,
Her reveries disturbing ;
She gives them grain and fills their onp,
Their inward sorrows curbing.
With merry clack they crowd around,
F;Greeting with trouble joy,
Their true appreciation brings
Pleasure without alloy
With grateful sense of needs supplied,
The pansies lift their heads,
Receiving showers by heaven denied,
From her who came instead.
The welcome of her feathered friends,
The sympathy appearing
In Sower and beauty, nature sends,
Her aching heart are cheering.
But, brother farmer, is it tette,
That hearts within your home
Miss the outspoken cheer from you
And long for it to come ?
Do birds and Sowers usurp the place
That God designed for you ?
0, quietly now your Steps retrace,
And give the praises due;

However a man is gifted,whoth-

So far aro we behind, socially,
morally, intellectually, that one
might be forgiven if he supposed
the world was made but yesterday
and nothing had 'yet been done.
Does no ambition fire us to help
the despairing,. starving, sinking
people around us ? If a few more
years be added to or • life, would
we not strive to put something
right, to sweep out some little
cornet', to awatren some soul to

light ?—Good Words.
The ono sovereign remedy for
the ills of life is work—work from
necessity, or work from chdice.
The man or women compelled to
work every day, either with hand
or head, escapes many of the mor-
bid worries and anxieties that be.
set the man or woman left free to
follow out morbid musings on
the vanity of human affairs, or
melancholy analysis of, physical
ailments which are often the 're-
sult of lack of constant or definite
occupation, No . greater misfor-
tune can befall either man• or wo•
men than to be born into this
world without the 'pressing force
of work,pushing him on to steady
endeavor.' `^
The young who have to plod
their way -through life alone, and
perhaps from years of infancy,
without guidance of father or
mother,and who have made a su
cessful struggle, aro men and wo-
men worthy of' praise. They
have been exposed to all gangers,
and above all, to the:danger of lose
Of faith. • As orphans they had but
few -friends; and if lucky enough
to find shelter in. some asylum
they were only there long enough
to learn what was absolutely neces-.
sary to get along with. They,
above all others, can tell what a
battle life is, and how discourag-
ing is the contest when carried on
alone. But from the cradle. to
the grave every corn's exoerience
is valuable, especially when the
useful lesson it teaches is not
th«own away dr forgotten.
F'REIT FROM A VOICE TEST,
-A friend of 11Ir C. H. Spurgeon
mentioned a remarkable conver-
sion resulting from an experiment
Mr Spr••geon • made upon the
acoustiescharacter of a building
in which he was to preach: 'Some
yeses ago Mr Spurgeon,intending
to preach in the Crystal Palace,
London, on such a date, himself
wont t > the palace for the pur-
pose of g:vingwarders as.to where
the pat..itions wore to be put up,
that his voice might be hoard
over as wide an area as possible.
He t vied his voice from various
parts, reciting aloud the tel.e,`Be-
hold the Lamb of God which tak-
eth away the sin of the"world.'
Years passed by, and last year,
when M'• Spr••goon was laid aside
by sickness, a message came to
him requesting that he would
visit a man who was dying, and
was desirous of sneaking with Mr
Spurgeon. Ifo,' Peing unable to
go, sent his brother, and the dy-
ing man said, 'Tell Mr Spurgeon
that twenty years ago I was work-
ing in the Cryst'tl Palace, making
some alterations previous to a ser-
mon which he was'going to give.
He came to the }solace to sec the
partitions raised, and ca1lhd out
several times, 'Behold the Lamb
of God.' It was that to:., sound-
ed out in a strange manner, that
was the arrow which God used to
pierce my heart, and mads me sec

The four greatest medical centres of the world are London, Paris. Berlin and Vienna. These cities have immense
hospitals teeming with suffering humanity. Crowds of students throng the wards studying under the Professors in
oharie. The most renowned physicians of the world teach and practice here, and the institutions ure storehouses of
medical knowledge and .experience. With a view of making this experience available to the public the Hospital
Remedy Co. at great expense secured the prescriptions of these hospitals, prepared the specifics, and although it
would coat from $26 to,r$/00 to,secure the attention of their distinguished originators, yet in this way their pre-
pared specifics are offered at the price of the quack patent medicines thatood the' market and absurd/y claim to cure
every ill from a single bottle. Tire -want always felt for.a reliable class of domestic remedies is now filled with per-
fect satisfaction. The Hospital Remedies make no unreasonable claims. The specific for CATARRH cures that and
nothing else ; so With the specific for BRONCHITIS, CONSUMPTION and LUNG TROUBLES ; RHEUMATISM is cured
