Prank De Witt Talmage preach- ed from the following text: Daniel vi, 8, "Now, 0 king, establish the decree,, and sign the writing, that it be not ohanged."' '"• King Darius was about to be caught in a trap. Tho jealous state ofiicers, who had long been plotting against the young prime minister, had at last found a way in which they thought they, could destroy hint. "Alia!" they chuckled. "'?ire will snake the king sign this young upstart's death warrant. IIe will not know that ho is doing it. Wo shall play upon our royal master's venety and ask hint to send forth a public letter and sign it, so that the decree cannot be changed." This public: letter,. or proclama- tion, was a singular document. It was dexterously devised to exalt the king's supremacy and was well cal- culated to please an oriental despot by making him appear to his sub- jects as the exclusive source of all good, It prohibited every subject making any request of God or man, ettee to the king only, for a period of thirty clays. These plotters knew that Daniel was in the habit e,f praying to (God every day, and they were sure that he would continue to do so in spite of the king's proclam- ation. •]-le would thus become an offc.,tder against the law arid would incur the penalty, which was to be crest into the den of the lions. "Now," they would say when the king signed the paper, "we shall de- stroy that prime iuinister. Wo could not do it by the sword, hut we shall do it by the king's impul- sive pen." Their plot operated as they expected, and Daniel was thrown into the den of lions. We know how the king lamented sign- ing the letter, but how powerless he was to"' recall his signature. How many people have had simi- lar cause for regret! How often words written under a hasty im- pulse have recoiled on the writer! Spoken words may be forgotten, but written words do not change. They inay be need to condemn the writer long years after they were written; aye, after he himself is dead. Never write an important letter until you have had plenty of time to think it over. Foolish would be that Iawyer who would quickly give a decision upon any important mat- ter. After hearing all the state- ments of his client the wise lawyer says: "Wait until to -morrow, or next week, and I will tell you what I believe you ought to do. .1 do not wish to answer you without consideration. I wish to think this matter over carefully." A prominent lawyer of the west once told me that when he was preparing a case for court he spent one half his time thinking of the arguments which his opponent might present and then a great part of the other half plan- ning how to refute them. And yet the strange fact is that men and women often, in the moments of greatest mental excitement, will sit down and dash oft a letter upon the most important of subjects; without giving the brain time to cool or the ballast of judgment to settle down in the right equilibrium they will hastily commit words to paper which Will decide their whole earth- ly and perhaps their heavenly des- tiny. • ITAD HE STOPPED TO THINK. Do you suppose laing.Darius would have sent forth that decree, or pub- lic letter, which condemned his pre- mier, Daniel, to the lions' den if he. had only stopped to think? Suppos- ing the king after he had written that public decree had placed it un- der his pillow and slept upon it, what would have been the result? Would he not naturally have scent- ed a fatal conspiracy in that re- quest? :And, my brother, if you had only waited one or two days before you sent that important letter which did you so much harm would you have sent it? Would you not have destroyed it? Never write an• important latter which you would not be willing • for the whole world to see. Many state- ments that are perfectly proper and rightly understood by those who know us will not be rightly con- strued if placed before the eyes of the world at largo. There are many thoughts that I might write to a friend or a brother which would be entirely misinterpreted if read- by au enemy or a stranger. It is very important' that one should never write a letter which would be capa- ble of misconstruction if that letter should ever fall intra the hands of a bitter foe. FRIEND AGAINST FRIEND. My father used- to impress ' this thought upon me by the recollec- tions of an awful night which he passed in an ordeal of indescribable horrors. •A very near and dear rel- ative of his was his intimate associ- ate for many years.' They were to each other as intimate as brothers. They confided in each other every- thing... Time passed on, and there was a rupture. The friendship was broken. What did that relative do? He immediately took all the letters which my father had written and handed them over to the newspapers for publication. The night that my father heard of the despicable act, as he has often told me, was the most ' awful night of his whole life. He knew that he had done no wrong, but he was - afraid that in a confidential correspondence of many years he ni h t have written son o thin which in the eyes of the U world rniglxt be impradont. All that night he tramped the floor. When the first ray of daylight told that. the dawn was near. he wont out to buy the Morning newspaper which • contains) the published private cor- respondence. He read these pub- lished letters in the street. When he returned, the first words he said to mother were; "Thank God, there is nothing compromising that I have written! Thank God! Thank God!" That is not the only illustra- tion which might be given where a friend has turned upon a friend. Then, my brother, to either friend or foe alike, never write anything which may some day riot be able to, stand the test of the public print. Never write a letter with a venge- ful pen, dipped into an ink. well fill- ed with hatred. 'When one has been unjustly attacked, it is very easy for an injured man to say: "I wish I could see that roan. I wish I could give him a good piece of my mind. I wish I could tell him. in plain, blunt language what I think of hint and his actions, As I can- not see him, I will just sit down and write him a letter." Then he hastily sits down and writes a De- mosthenian philippic, Vitupera- tions and denunciations, contemptu- ous excoriation, stinging ironies, bitter epig'r'ams and eehole verbal avalanches of invective are gathered together upon the letter sheet at the pen's touch. Then he rushes away to the post office and buys a special delivery stamp. Ile pounds it upon the envelope with a blow that several like a foundry in full blast. Then he goes home, saying to him- self: "There, I have relieved my- self of that matter. I have told that ratan Just what I think of him and his actions. If he should ever repeat the offence, I shall not only write to him another letter, but I shall expose his actions to bis em- ployers, his wife, children and to the public at large." THE REVENGEFUL LETTER. Now, my friend, in one sense it may ease your mind to write a re- vengeful letter, but what good does such a letter do ? Does it make your enemy feel any kinder or more gentle to you ? Does such a letter ever make a man feel any kinder or more gentle to the great .,world at large ? Have you made him a bet- ter man ? Have you made yourself a better man also ? In fact, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred docs not such a letter damage your neighbor and also do more damage to the sender than it docs to the man to whom the letter is sent ? I once read of an eastern tyrant who wanted to destroy an enemy. Ile invited this enemy to sup with him. While they sat at meat ho had the waiter bring in two glasses of wine, the ono poisoned and' the other not. But when the king offered • to his guest a cup he (the king) by mis- took and drank the poisoned cup. Like the king, is it not always the case when a man writes a purely re- vengeful letter that he is hurtumore in the sending than the enemy is in the receiving ? Did not the officers of state prepare their own death warrant when they persuaded Darius to send forth the public decree by which they hoped to destroy the prime minister ? Many have studied the effect of letter writing in a political sense. We know the power of Samuel Adams' pen in fomenting Revolu- tionary strife. We know that Alex- ander Hamilton's pen, by the power of public letter writing, defeated Aaron Burr for the gubernatorial chair of New York State and caused him to challenge Hamilton to a deadly duel. We know how George Washington by letter writing after his retiremept from the presidential chair practically directed national legislation, We know how the fa- mous "Letters of Junius," written against the British ministry, might- ily changed the 'reading upon the pages of English history. And if we. are able to study the influence of letter writing in a literary and political sense can we not study its influence in n. spiritual sense ? LETTERS FROM A MOTHER. Let us first see the spiritual in- fluence of letter writing in your own Iife. Strange to say, you do not remember much about your mother's life. I mean es you sit there, you have forgotten exactly how she looked and the tone of her voice. She has been dead many years. Then you have forgotten to a great extent her words of advice in the ]tome, but you have never for- gotton her letters. Somehow, after you left home, the words which she wrote to you made a far greater im- pression than the words which she spoke, If I should go into your house and ask for your most valu- able collection of papers you would in all probability show nuc a collec- tion • of old yellow letters. They were written -by her hand. You have read thein over and over again. Some of those letters are stained as though the children had spattered water upon therm. They are stained with -your tears • as well as perhaps hers. The gospel advice in those with hems. The gospel advice in those letters which you were able to read in tae quietude of your own room • is to -day the sweetest lesson that your mother ever taught.. What has been true in. reference to your Iife is also true in xnino. The great- est lesson that 1ny father taught me was not by the lip, but with the pen. Though 1 had lived with hila for eighteen years ho never so over- whelmingly. affected axe as on the day I left for college. IIe placed in my hand a letter. re told me- to read it in the train. In this letter, on one half sheet of pallet, to wrote these vor cs college you will find two groups : Group the first, boys who go to college because their fathers .Sorel them there.. Boys who. drink and smoke and who• cheat tet their examinations. Failure. Group the second boys who go to college to prepare for life's struggle; bays who study hard and go to church andthe prayer meeting, es- pecially the prayer meeting. Suc- cess. 'Thexn that honor Ire, I will; honor. And they that despise xxie shall be lightly esteemed.' " That was all he Wrote, but those written words, far more than any spoken words my father over uttered, burn- ed themselves intomy innermost being. That letter of his illustrated the power of a spiritual pen, wielded in a Christian home. INFLUENCE 'OI? A GOSPEL PEN. Oh, the infinite influence of a gos- pel pen ! Infinite in reference to time I Some of us have seen the Assyrian histories written upon tte slabs of burnt brick by pens thousands upon thousands of years ago. We have seen leaves of grass upon which the Greeks used to en- grave their laws, and the shoulder blades of a dead, sheep's skeleton upon which the ancient Arabs used to write poetry. The sides of the Egyptian obelisks 'are covered with hieroglyphics of the ancients. The first pen wielded by man was a chisel, and the first leaf was a sheet of solid roctic. But, though such writings may last hundreds and thousands of years. yet they will not la.st as long as the gospel words written upon the human heart by a gospel pen. Such words shall last long after this earth is dead and our souls have passed cycles of eternity in heaven. Infinite in reference to wonders accomplished ! In our na- tional museums some of us have seen pens worth a thousand times more than their weight in gold. They are the pens that have been held in the hands of presidents and kings -pens of peace or of war, pens of liberation or enslavement, pens whish decided the material advance- ment or retardment of nations. But the sacred pen of gospel letter writ- ing may be even greater in its far- reaching results. It may be the means for the liberation of immortal souls from sin, for their coronation in the heavenly redemption. Thus, in closing, I would impress upon you all the influence of a con- secrated pen. May you learn to use for God aright that pen which as a schoolboy you once held in your chubby fingers when it would sput- ter and twist and try to squirm out of your hands. Use aright that pen by which as a young man you used to record the secrets of your heart when the old, old story of love be- came a new story to you in the springtime. Learn to use aright for Christ that same pen with which you have again and again written a name upon a black bordered en- velope. Use aright that pan with which you made a last will and tes- tament, and use aright that pen with which you can win immortal souls to Jesus Christ in the gospel invitation of private correspondence. THE Se S. LESSON. INTERNATIONAL LESSON, MAY 17. Text of the Lesson, Acts xxtv., 10-16. Golden Text, Ps. xxiii., 4. 10-13. Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse rue. Five days after Paul had been placed under the care of Felix, the governor at Caesarea, the high priest and the elders and an orator named Tertullus arrived from Jer- usalem, and, Paul being brought forth, the orator delivered his accus- ation, and the Jews assented to it. Paul being permitted to speak for himself, denies their accusations and says that they can prove noth- ing. It is the common story of things laid to our charge that we know not - the perversity of false witness (Ps. xxxv, xi). The Spir- it, through Peter, reminds us that it is cause for thanksgiving if for conscience toward God we endure grief suffering wrongfully. that if when. we do well and s'uf'fer for it we take it patiently, God is well pleas- ed and that it is better, if the will of God be so, that we suffer for well doing than for evil doing (I Pet. ii, 19, 20; iii, 17). 14. But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets. It was his custom to expound and testify the kingdom of God and per- suade people concerning •Jesus, both out of the law of Moses and out of the prophets (Acts xxviii, 23). It was the custom of the Lord Jesus to begin at .Moses and all the pro- phets and expound in all the Scrip- tures the things cementing Himself and to assert that all things nxust be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms concerning Him (Luke xxiv; 27, 4.1). There is no one to follow fully but the Lord Jesus, and there is no better exam- ple of one who followed Him fully than the apostle' Paul. 15. And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a re:surroction of the dead, both cf the just,and -of the tiniest. When Paul was rescued from. the mob by the chief captain and on late next day brought before the coun- cil, part Sadducecs and part Phari- sees, it was the topic of the resur- rection which so stirred them that it seemed- as if. they would tear Paul to pieces had hot the chief captain taken hint by force from among them (chapter xxii, (3, 1.0). It was the same night, in the castle, that the Lord appeared to hint and as- sured hint that as he had testified at Jerusalem so he must testify at Rome (xxiii, 11), thus indorsing his testimony and asking• for more of it, believe (rod believe i nowbete n 11 wbo to rl the resurrection of the dead, het not all believers accept the plain teaching of I Thess. iv, 1.13, 17; T. Cor. xv, 23, 24; Rev. xx, i,, 6; Luke Siva 14; xx, 36, and other passages ' concerning the resume - tion. 10. And herein do I exercise xray - self to have always a oonScionce void of offence toward God and to- ward men, Iris aim is plainly stated in such words as these : "According to my earnest expectation and ray hope that in nothing I shall ho ashamed;" "Not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts;" "Ye are witnesses, and God, also, how holily and justly • and unblamably we be- haved ourselves among you that believe" (Phil. i, 220; I Thess. ii, 4, 10). The Lord Jesus and Itis ap- proval were more to Paul than the presence or approval of the greatest of earth's great ones. The result of Paul's speech was that Felix said lee would wait until he had heard the chief captain's version of the affair, and he gave biro in charge of a centurion, with orders to let him have liberty and also the fellow- ship and ministry of his acquaint- ances (verses 22 and 28.) 24-26, And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance and judg- ment to come Felix trembled and answered : Go thy way for this . time. When I have a convenient sea- son, I will call for thee. This wqs in one of his many talks with Felix and on an occasion when his wife, Drusilia, a Jewess, was present also. The words of our Lord Jesus in John xvi, 8, and often con- founded with these words concerning Paul, but our Lord in his words does not mention judgement to come. That which Paul set before Felix concern- ing righteousness may be easily in- ferred from Rom. iii, 19, 24? x, 1-10; Tit. iii, .5; Phil. Si, 7-9. He would doubtless set forth our sinful- ness by nature and practice, our need of righteousness to enable us to appear before Gocl, God's abund- ant provision for that need in Christ Jesus, and His free offer of it to every repentant sinner. That which he taught concerning temper- ance we may infer from Tit. ii, 12 ; iii, 8; II Cor. iv, 14, 15 ; Rom, iv. 11-14. Ile would show that when we become righteous in Christ by Itis finished work then we aro to re- nounce self and sin and the world and live wholly unto God, who so freely justifies the penitent sinner ; that as disciples of Christ we are to deny self and take up the cross daily and follow Him (Matt. xvi, 24). Concerning judgment to come He would probably speak as he slid to the Athenians in Acts xvii, 30, 81. He might dwell upon the mighty words of Etter. xii, 14, and set forth the matter as in Rom. xiv, 7-12; II Cor. v, 9, 10. He would make it clear, ng doubt, that all who will not receive Christ and His righteousness are abiding under the wrath of God and already condemned (John iii, 18, 36), and if they die thus can never be redeemed (John viii, 21-24), but will finally come be- fore the great white throne and be sent into the lake of fire ( Rev. xx, 11-15), while if saved in Christ the judgment for .sin is past, but there will be a judgment - of works Lead rewards for service at the judgment seat of Christ (John v, 24; Isa. xliii, 25; Rev. xxii. 12). MONSTER ORIENT PLANT ANOTHER LARGE INDUSTRY FOR TT -TP DOMINION. X350,000 of Contract Have Been Awarded for Immense Works at Hull. The Ottawa papers gave an iater- esting account of the gathering on several days of last week at Ottawa of a dozen or two representatives of iron and steel manufacturing con- cerns from various Canadian, United States, and German cities, their ob- ject being to submit tenders to the directors and engineers of the Inter- national Portland Cement Company, Ltd., for structural metals and ma- chinery for the big Hull works. According to the "Citizen," the directors had long day -and -night sessions with the representatives of the iron and steel ' manufacturers who tendered for the work of build- ing the machinery . of the new con- cern. "Some idea of the magnitude of the business done may be gained from the fact that during the week over $350,000 worth of contracts have been awarded. The plant is of such a size that no single manufac- turing firm could be relied upon to do all the work of the high stand- ard that the directors insist upon and have the plant ready at the re- quired time. Consequently a num- ber of contracts have been let, each for some special part of the plant." The Hull people have, we aro told, the same designers, engineers, and chemists who made so complete an establishment of the National ce- ment mill at Durham, Out., the Pen- insular mills at Cement City, Mich.,. and several others now in successful operation. A STRONG POINT in' favor of this organization lies in the fact that all machinery, the buildings, and the entire plant from the smokestack to the clinker pit is made from special designs and de- tailed drawings by a staff of en- gineers, who have learned the busi- ness by many years of practical ex- perience. Various representatives of the Large manufacturing firms stated tee it "Citizen" reporter that the de- tailed drawing's furnished by these engineers are easier to interpret and figure upon than any that go nto their works, and the xnachiriaq when built and installed run with less trouble than any others with which they have to deal. They all agree also that the fact that the same engineers who design the plant su- porintend its operation after con- stt'uction is a very, strong assurance of its successful and economical working. The favorable points of the Ottawa or Ilull xro nasi i ] taro that the 1 tot raw materials aro abundant, of ex- eeptional purity, that both lime- stone and clay lie at the very door of the factory, that they have water- power et the very low rata of $15 PREPA Le ee r 3 KsTom I2€YGlyrow rUNCi1 wAoNGS�".. �EY t►iRiCN Tti� BI000 & ST✓Ztf+4f l : TpE CONSTITUTION ondon,f,y real,Caa o� f�(Ont �j04�••..r"".a a�'BRiTAIN `% AMERICA ?

Then the Company are not obliged to build a. railway or steam power plant, thus enabling them to build a much larger factory with the same amount 'of capital, and thereby ma- terially increasing the earning power of the plant. It is further to be noted that with THEIR OWN BOAT LINE. they can market their cement at all ports in the Lower Provinces, and through the Rideau Canal can reach all ports surrounding Lake Ontario. Their boats instead of re- turning empty from eastern ports can bring back coal on their return trips. The location as to the mar- kets to be supplied could not be better, as there is no Portland Ce- ment produced in the Lower Pro- vinces, and the bulk of all the ce- ment consumea in Ottawa, Montreal, and the Maritime Provinces is of necessity imported from Germany, Belgium, and the United States against a duty of 43c. per barrel. The "Citizen" article notes as a favorable point,, that the C.P.R. and the Canada Atlantic railways run right by the doors of the fac- tory, also the water way which gives a free outlet frons the ware- house docks of the Company into the Ottawa river and thence direct to Montreal, Quebec, and the sea board cities. The 7Iu11 works will, it is claimed, surpass in efficiency and equipment any of the plants yet designed by these men, and will supply Cement to Eastern Ontario and the Lower Provinces from its advantageous location, just as the Durham works is well placed to supply the Western Peninsula. The business ability and scientific skill of the people who have this work in hand point to its success as an important industrial enterprise and promise well, we consider, for its financial success also.

'Y• Y:n�J� The reading lesson was droning on its most unhappy' way in the school room, and when Willie Smith's turn came to spell out his paragraph he stumbled over the word "heirloom.", `The kindly teacher put him right as to the pronunciation of the word,• when up shot Tommy Johnson's hand. "Pup -please, teacher, what is the meaning of 'heirloom'?" inquired that hopeful and somewhat inquisi- tive nquisitive youth. "Oh, Tommy," ' was the reply, "I am glad to see you take such an in- terest in your lesson. 'Heirloom'• means something that is handed down from father to son - in other. words, 'a relic.' " "Oh," replied Tommy thoughtful- ly, "that's the funniest name ever I heard for a pair of trousers!" The Broker - "Don't you find it easier to shave some men than oth- ers?" The Barber - "Yes; don't you?" "Why don't you praise your wife's pastry now and then, and cheer her up?" "I'm afraid to try.
