POLPIT TOPICSSORROWS AND JOYS.

(St. John 16 : l f i -22 . j

From this text wo Irani th.-it i.iieChristian's .sorrows are d i f f e r en t from

_ _ _ _ . _Christian's joys are di f ferent fromthe worldling's joys.. The Christian'ssorrows are turned Into joy, and hisjoys are born out of sorrows.

No human life is without Its sor-rows. "Into" each life nome rain mustfall." "Man is born u n t o t rouble nsthe sparks fly upward." No position.no wealth, no talenW or genius canexempUany one from experiencingsorrow, lioeoming a Chr is t ian doesnot moan t h a t sorrows will then dis-appear, but it does mean tlijjK sor-rows w i l l thencefor th be ditT'/rent.

Tho worldling's sorrows arp gener-ally the fruits of sin. They ot'len comefrom disappointments into which hisselfishness leads him, or from theshame and pain i n t o which his self-indulgences bring h im, or from the

- hopelessness of his l ife, since he-Hasno fellowship wi th God, no comfortof a future life of joy. Such sorrowsare as the blackness of the nightwithout a morning."1

The Christian's Sorrows. '

It is not so with the sorrows of theChristian. Even' those sorrows whichhe shares in common .with -ill hu-manity' are different. Even these'"work together for good" to him, forhe loves God. Many of his sorrows arethe fruits of his unselfishness andself-sacrifice,—as in the case of thedisciples: These sorrows are sweet-ened by the consciousness of bavins'done riglit and of having won the ap-proval of God. "He that loseth hislife shall find it."

His sorrows are sweetened by theassurance that they are only for "alittle while." How short the time un-til the disciples were enjoying theblessnigs of the Easter joy: Howshort the time until the Christianforgets the past in the joys of eter-nity!

His sorrows are made ligfiter bythe assurance that the coming bless-

rm'bilps In Hit' morning U K shall seehe shore.' To us who arc Christians.t is not a solemn;, bu t a d e l i g h t f u lbought , that perhaps no th ing but the

op;u|iio bodily eye prevents us from^Holding the gate which is open Just

before us. no th i t iK—buUtho dul l eaiprevents ns from hearing the rirtgin"of those hells of joy which welcomeis to that heavenly land."

May this Christian joy he oursmd may it conjfort us in all our sor-rows, and encourage Us in a. true'hr is t inn l i fe of unselfishness- and

self-sacrifice.—Amen.—I., O. .N.

-ingsthat the sufferings of 'this presenttime are not worthy to be comparedwith the glory that shall be reveal-ed. "Your sorrow shall be turned into joy." "Your heart shall rejoice.and your joy no man taketh fromyou."

Again, the Christian's sorrows arcsweetened by the assurance that theyteird to produce great results. Thedeath of Jesus was the only way trbring about the Gospel of the Resurrection. Lazarus' death was the onl\way to bring about the glorificationof the Lord's power in Bethany. As

. birth is the only way by which humanlife .can come Into tho world, therefore its importance and the joy thatresult are dwelt upon rather thanthe pain and sorrow.

Tho world's greatest blessings havebeen born of sorrow. Luther's angu i shbrought tho Reformation. The suffer.lngn of -explorers, pioneers and In-ventors have l if ted the world up lit-tle by little In the scale of civiliza-tion. Who of all the world's heroeswould regret M» Morrows, no matterhow severe? The blessings reunit ingfrom them aro beyond comparisonwlth^ho worldling's or the Idlcr'nJoys.

"Your sorrow shall bo tu rned Intojoy," like the water Into wine; l iketho mother's siorrows I n t o m a t e r n a lJoy.

Tho Christian's Joys.

The Chris t ian 's Joyn are d i f f e r e n tfrom the worldling'" Joys. I K - C H U N Kof the divine element which enters!Into them. A Suv lo i i r ' i i prenencewatchcH over Ihe l r lives.

THE TWO CONQUERING RE-LIGIONS.

2 Tim. 3: 1, 2..Man is by nature religious. In all

ages and In all countries religionms bad a strong hold on the mindsof men. And that, in spite of thefact that man's mind, is instinctivelyself-assertive, and therefore Inclinedlo reject, any thought which is be-vond its power of comprehension.Man naturally rebels against thethought that God is so much greaterthan him that he is not able to ex-plain all God's actions or. methods orpurposes to his own satisfaction.Whenever man sets out to thinkai)o'ut God under the impression that

i.-ition in some of therfe fonout realizing that it Is a tempiatlon;or that there is any harm in thehabits, which grow out of y ie ld ing to.it. But. the result i.s that our char-acter is weakened, and we are notable to exercise the influence for Godwhich we should exercise. And weare 'in great danger of d r i f t ' n g awayfrom God. -

What then? "It Is impossible butJiat occasions of stumbling shouldcome" When in tha-t condition weneed a shock to wake ns up, byforcing upon our attention the factthat we are not living as near to Go;l_ . we should live, and God allowsus to meet some occasion of stum-bling that it may reveal to us ourtrue, spiritual condition.

Peter's case is a good illustration.His great weakness was exaggeratedself-confidence, and self-confidence Inspiritual things makes real trust inGod impossible. Jesus saw that Peterneeded a bad fall to convince himof bis inability to. stand alone. - Sodie Tempter was allowed to set before Peter an occasion of stumbling,and Peter stumbled. But that 'woke Peter up; it cured him com-pletely of his belief in his own moralrectitude and taught him -to leanupon Christ. It made him a stronman, a "rock-man!"

"It is impossible but that occasionsof stumbling should come." and thatfor two reasons: first, because men

his own unaided reason is competentto test every question, he naturallyturns his back on revealed religion,and either ceases to take any inter-est in the subject or becomes an infidel.

And yet, taking the world as awhole, the number of men In any agewho have in this way turned theirbacks upon God -is so small as to bealmost inllnitessimal. The vast ma-'iirity of meli in all ages have 'beenreligious.

But the Devil is not easily defeat-ed. When he cannot Induce men tothrow religion overboard, \ he turnsround and sets up as a teacher of re-Hsion. He knows that,.he.."caii leadmen as far from God by teaching(hem to put their t rust in supersti-t ious practices or In tho teachingsof sonm false prophet us If ho hadsucceeded in Induc ing them to reject

ULfo in beautiful surroundings tiuatchildhood's days should be, spent inthe place or'the home which Is beau-tKnl.

It Is childish Impressions which last,and particularly those of places. • inafter-life it te people and events wfclchcount; but childhood's mind is moreoccupied with little bits of scenery,all the dear delights of a ramblinggarden, delightful hay-lofts and pot-ting sheds, and places where ell man-. _ _ , _ _played; fields where there are fairyrings to be found and birds' ne&te tobe looked for, and every-ktad of wildflower to be picked.

All these are the delights whichmatter to a youthful mind; but tothose who have grown up to moresteady and less delightful pleasures, arambling garden and "pretendable"nooks* are of less Importance thansome of the most prosaic comfortsof environment.

So we need not pity too much thosewho have left these delights and bean~Hes~"onTT(Hsn~as they may 'DO'." behind.them, because they will live In thememory and be a constant source—ofpleasure long afterwards. Certainlyit is better to start in a big house anddescend to a little than vice versa.Youthful powers of enjoyment are somuch greater than'in later life.

CURRENT EVENTS IN THEIR RE-LATION" TO THE KINGDOM

OF CHRIST.Psalm il: 3-7.

All events derive their, importancefrom the fact that they necessarilyexercise some Influence helpful "^orharmful upon the progress of theKingi^m of Christ. That is the casewith all our personal experiences,and the same rule holds good withregard to the experience of com-muni t i es and nations.

Many of the events of recent his-tory have been very sad and haveseemed to be instinct with evil, andonly evil; yet in the outcome eachof these events has tended to makeway for the advancement of the Re-deemer's kingdom.

This world is Godvs world. Hecreated it for a purpose, and He willcertainly carry put His purpose.

That is the fundamental truth, butthere is another side to it. When Godcreated man in His own image, He•endowed-—mftft-^v4frh—mer*V—respon-siWl-i t y by giving him power to choose be-tween good and 'evil.

Of course, God knew that in givingman this freedom He was' in a senselimiting His own freedom as regardsthe control of affairs in this world,but that was necessary to the accom-plishment of the purpose which Hehad in view.

Hut , nlso of course, God knew thaeven while g iv ing man f u l l freedom

t choice. He could so overruleman's actions and could bring suclii i i f luonei ' s to bear on the minds otn i e n t l i n t I l l s own purposes would IKach ieved ; even though at times Itwould he necessary to use, tho evl:io|s of had men »s instruments forHie cur ry ing out of I l l s purposes.

MOST^TTTgACTIVE AGE OFWOMAN.

As more women are married be-tween the ages of eighteen and twen-ty-five years than at any other period,it certainly appears that it is at sucha time that women reach the zenithof their charms. Such an assumption,however, is by no means so correct asmany Headers might at first suppose.For these early marriages are easilyaccounted for by the fact that themind of the average young man at

_ tlie age of twenty-two or twenty-threeI lightly turns to thoughts of love, andhe naturally .chooses a girl of thesame age as himself, or younger, asone, likely to -make him a suitablewife.

At the age of twenty-two or twenty-three the majority of women are un-doubtedly more attractive so far aspersonal beauty Js concerned than atany other period. But while they haveHhat buoyancy of youth which capU^

More than once he checkedthreatening disorder almost single-handed, and whenever there was anuprising it was Bulala -who took coffl-tnslnd of the ^ white forces. _But thisIs a story of .Bulata—Junior,—fris—sonra stocky little chip of the old block.It happened during one of the father's absences in the' Held; the young-ster, left In charge of the familycommissariat, spent two or threoevenings each week in hunting—andwith invariable success, for he wasa "crack" shot, for all his youth.

A pretty face constitutes only oneof the characteristics which go to-wards making a woman attractive,and It is absurd to supposo tha t hercharms decrease as t ime adds a few-wrinkles to her face. As a matter offact. many*.women between the agesof. thir ty and thirty-live are far more,attractive than those who are tenyours younger.

A wide veranda and a funny roof.That'sounded like Gerald. He won-dered how Gerald's wife liked it.Beatrice was artistic, but not artis-tically eccentric. - She had a horrorof things odd. bizarre, so-called Bo-liemian. And yet she had marriedOerald.

The need of street sprinkling was emphatic, this week. Storekeepershad to choose between the heat inside and the clouds of street dust whichentered a^jfl covered everything. They closed doors and windows, tothe discomfort of everybody. A young ladv canvassed for subscriptionto a sprinkling fund^ recently ; and the result is, a committee of businessmen have assumed (for the present) the cost of sprinkling Bellevue.Ave—the wagon being loaned by the Civic Club. On Thursday, all" werepleased to see the wagon making frequent trips up and down street, andhope it will continue all suhamer. We are told that Egg Harbor Citysupplies water for this purpose without charge, and Hammonton shoulddo the same.

No, we do not believe Town Council is half as bad as some wouldpaint them. "For license" carried at the election a few years ago ; andfive of the present Councilmen consider this the will of the people, andvote in favor ol renewals each time they come up. Let the temperancepeople of Hammonton have placed on the ticket ffelft^fall, "for" and"against" license, and back it up by a majority vote ^against," webelieve Council would turn down all future applications. Personallyspeaking.—we would vote NO every time, even if it didn't suit ourconstituents.

Divine and human law agree that "six days shah thou labor anddo all thy work ; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thyGod ; in it thou shall not do any work." We deplore the increasingtendency in Hammonton to open stores and shops on the one day thatisjset apart for rest and worship.. There should be respect enough forChristian sen'iment, and for law, to prevent such desecration.

Mr. Workman : When you are looking for work, do you go to asaloon to find it ? Does the saloon furnish you •employment, or assistyou in getting a job ?.> The saloon-keeper is friendly towards you aslong as you have money : but his interest stops when your money nolonger goes into his cash register. When you are broke, these personalliberty howlers have no use for you mid kick you out.

There is a difference of opinion between the Town and State Boardsof Health and Town Council. According to Solicitor Stockwcll, theocal Hoard cannot appoint one to the position of I'lunibiiig Inspector

who in now or 1ms been a member of the Hoard. The State Hoard diifernroin tliis opinion, and asks for an explanation. The outcome is being

watched wi th interest.

-day In thoa e d ays.girls and boys never dreamed of going alone into the fore&t to gatherwild flowers or hurltj for lizards orfrogs, for if they were not afraid ofthe darkness they surely were afraidof the wolves and the robbers whomade their homes there.

Even grown-up men, armed withbows and arrows and spears, didn tlike to be caught in the woods alone,especially after sundown, when thedeep shadows made it very hard tpfind the way out. But when thisstnry began a voung Danish warrior.

However, he kept onwalking back and forth and aroundand around all night, and at dawn hewatched the light stealing in overthe tops of the trees and thoughtwith longing of his comrades in theDanish .camp who would now heawake and stirring. Suddenly, andquite by «hance, he wandered into in

Looking cautiously out from hishiding place, he beheld a yoke otoxen driven by one of the fairestyoung boys he had ever seen. Ofcourse he was an Englishman's sonbut being unarmed and only a lad ofeleven or twelve years the Dane ven-tured to speak to him.

"Good morrow," he said, steppingout, "and what is thy name?"

yhe boy looked at him carefullyfrom head to foot and answering wl;nslight timidity: "My name is God-win, son of Ulfnoth. And thou—thouare surely a Dane." <

"Yen, my lad," said the soldier,"and 1 have lost my way. Wilt thounot show me how to get back to mycamp? Surely thou knowest the wayto the River Severn, where our shipsare anchored."

"Yes, that I do, most surely." an-swered tho boy promptly, "but not 10tell a Dane."

"I beg thee to help me," said thesojdler,

'"Thou art foolish," replied tho boy,"to expect safety from ono of thine,enemlns."

"'Only leave thy cattle hero a wblloand show niu Mm way, unit I will re-ward thee freely, 1 havo u gold pieceIn camp I could give then."

COLORADO'S ULTIMATUM.

The man who aenit the first privatemessage over, the Atlantic cable wascommemorated In a recent CornhllMagazine.- According to that, -mag-azine. It was William 'Gilpfti, whowas appointed Governor of Coloradoliy President Lincoln in 1861.

The line was ready for business onAugust 5, 1SG6.. At that time J>Japo-leon III was in tho plenitude, Qf_lils.powerr his every movement was eagerly watched from both hemispheres.He was befiieved to have hla eye.upon Bohemia.

Mr. Gilpln was a man of humor,and it occurred to htm that it wouldbe a good joke tb hand to tlie agentsof the Atlantic cable this message forthe -French emperor: i —

The freak cost Mr. Gilpln thirtypounds, and all he got for his moneywas the reputation of Inaugurating.he Atlantic cable and the satisfac-ion of playing a joke.on the Emperor,if France. •:.. :

The bodys like a stove, in which food Is thefuel.

eat too much animal food, or If some-thing^is wrong with the final! stagesof digestion and1 assimilation, thefood is not perfectly consumed: in-stead of ash we get clinkers—that is,uric acid.

The substance sometimes doesharm by its mere presence, and some-times is only an evidence that theprocesses of assimilation are not go-ing forward shioothly. In gout,there is a very evident excess ofuric acid in the blood, but there isdoubtless some fault of nutrition behind both the gout and the urlc acidand we cannot say that the gout isactually owing to the uric acid.

Joan's room, sunny, homely, fu l l ofused and shabby things, faced themfirst. Miss Staunton had been therethe night he fore. Hilda, threw'openthe opposite door, and then stoodwai t ing , while th^ -color, came andwent in tier-face. She did" not ha ve "to Wait Jong.

"It's exquisite!-", Miss Stauntoncried. "Did you plan it all yourself?"

"Every bit," Hilda replied, "and 1worked it out, too, I did the stencil-,

-ling for the curtains and all the em-broidery. I thought a little of havinga voilet on my linen, but I liked thewhite monogram better. I designedit. I put it on my shirtwaists, too,sometimes in white, and sometimesin lavender and white; I have it onmy stationery—and jlook in: here."She opened her upper drawer. Insidewere handkerchief and glove and rib-bon cases of crash, all embroideredwith the. pretty monogram. . •

"I thought I'd make them of silk atfirst," Hilda explained, "you can getsuch lovely silks: but after they are •soiled that is the end of them. Thecrash washes. I— Hove to have thingsindividual. Don't you think it's a.duty to be yourself in every way youcan, Miss Staunton?" •

Miss Staunton smiled into the pret-ty, wistful face. "J certainly do,"she answered, "although I,never sawit worked'out in-exactly-tbis-way-Not—many people have the;taste,-even Ifthey have the time. But every strongperson is 'individual,', nervertheless. Ithink your sister Joan has the strong-est Individuality of any girl of herage I know."

"Joan!" Hilda exdlaimed. Instjnc-tii^elz—her—glance—went—to—tfie—roacross the hall. .

Miss Staunton smiled again. "Idon't mean in monograms, but shestamps herself on life none the less.I'll venture to guess that her roomis lived in by aM the -younger chil-dren, isn't it? I could see that theyall came to her with every interestof their lives—Jack especially; andit isn't easy to hold the confidence ofa boy of fourteen. I can see 'JoanEmerson; her mark' on every one ofthose children as plainly as I can seethe monogram on your pretty linen.It stands for honesty and unselfish-ness, fair play and sympathy. It Isa wonderful thing for a girl of herago to have achieved."

"I—why—I never thought—" Hildastammered.

Miss Stauuton'a eyes met hers with •warm frierttHlnesH.

"There, aro so many kinds of per-sonal marks, little girl," she said.

They did not realizethat baby's life lay with thefilthy insect who "tickled baby'snose." and who was most prob-ably 'just from some consump-tive's or typhoid patient's tick-room or from a neighboringstable.

As soon as the fly has emerg-ed from the shell it is ready forits deadly work. It starts outfrom the stable or the garbagecan in search of more filthyfood. Around it flies from oneinsanitary place to another. Itente£* the sickroom and gath-ers there the death dealing b«e-

. teria. It gets typhoid germs on'its legs and flies away to sometable and wipes them off on thefood. It gathers tuberculosisgerms and crawls into the sug-ar and over the butter and oftenends by tumbling into the milk.

It is hard enough for grownpersons to fight off the contami-nating flies, but helpless babies»r« wholly »t tr*f i-yi—y "f
