It is. we fear, of little practical value to him to-day, so far as influencing his daily conduct. It would be a blessed thing if some thing should happen to him to lenew Us former sense of sin and need and bring him once again Into intimate and constant contact with his Savior. The Congregationalism nr a era is mirthful: en Joys a laugh; is fond ota joke; prides itself upon wit. Under this tendency it is very easy to drift into profane expressions ere we are fully aware of it, or when we least expect to.

Where a horrid oath would startle, a pun or witticism at the expense of sacred truth amuses and gives rise to a like repartee. The sacred punster is thus often developed, who sooner or later becomes a nuisance and a snare. He is not to be envied whose stock of trade consists in funny allusions to holy things. He purchases a reputation for jocoseness at too costly or perilous a price who paints in a ludicrous form Bible verities, or who sports with the sentiments oft he King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Presbyterian.

It can scarcely be too often asserted that what a man is, rather than what he does or says or thinks or believes, determines his destiny. There is in this no implication that the outward can be permanently separated from the inward, but there is a declaration that the inward is fundamental and formative. The soul itself is separate from, and more than, the environment, however near that environment may come. It Is easy to talk, but that does not greatly count; the life is what really tells. People differ hopelessly as to creed; they are as one as to the supremacy of noble character.

Even actions are a very uncertain guide in estimating worth; we need always to know the motive from which they spring. The sum of a man's moral choices, aims, intentions, aspirations which is about what we mean by his character gives him his true place. The assignment of this true place, involving the reversal of ordinary human estimate, will be the surprise and glory of the judgment day. Zion Herald. 'The evidence of a progressive development running through Israel's history," says Professor Charles L.

Kent of Brown University In his "History of the Hebrew People," "brings it into closer relations with all history and with the universe where God's law of progress is dominant." The volume studies the Hebrew folk from the settlement in Canaan to the division of the Kingdom, and it is en rapport with all the work of higher criticism. Professor Kent thinks that the result of such work has been to give the broader truth with regard to biblical writtoga As to the Hebrews, we now know that they are not creations of fancy, he says, "but still live, as they firmly believed they wound in the abounding life of humanity. "Faint glimmers of spiritual light which broke through the darkness of heathenism," Is what we first get from this people; yet in the end Professor Kent holds that "through the life and literature of the Hebrew race the most precious revelation of God i conveyed to man." His review of their rule and gradual progression in the idea of one God, Jehovah, is succinctly and ably sketched, an appendix giving the historical authorities testifying to his thorough scholarship. "Good homes," says Bishop John Vincent in a "Sunday School Times" article, "good mothers, good fathers, good schools, good teachers, good pastors, good editors, good parlors give us these and we shall have good legislators to enact good laws and good officers to execute them. And in the meantime there will arise a generation of good men, who having the law within, transmuted by a divine alchemy into the personal love of whatsoever things are good, will have little need of either the legislative or executive functions of society.

Is this optimism? It is Christian optimism." Jesse L. Test, an old resident and highly respected citizen of our town, called this morning and after purchasing a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrheoa Remedy, said: "If anyone asks you if this remedy will do what is claimed for it, tell them yes, and refer them to me." H. 'Alexander Stoke, Reynoldsville, Pa. No one can doubt the value of this medicine after giving it a fair trial. Then it is pleasant and safe to take, making it especially valuable for children.

IT MAY ATTACK ANY RIDER. The Remedy Suggested Is to Avoid rooking at the Dreaded Object The Iilder Should Never Watch the AVheel or the Pedals. The extended use of the bicycle has brought to light numerous physical phenomena which have proved profitable subjects for speculation and study. Human ingenuity has been taxed to perfect the mechanism of the machine in almost every direction in which improvement is possible. Its weight has been reduced to the lowest standard consistent with strength and safety, the jolt is counteracted by cushioned wheels, the saddle has been constructed on anatomical principles, the friction has been lowered to the conservative maximum of effective power, while the entire apparatus has been so nicely balanced to the center of gravity of the rider thafthe propelling power is as little embarrassed as is possible under the circumstances of ease and surety of It is not so much the question of adaptability of the machine to the individual as of the individual to the machine.

There is no doubt that a large number of the ac cidents for which the bicycle is so often blamed is more or less chargeable to the want of care and the lack of skill on the part of the rider. Particularly is this the case with many of the numerous collisions of which we hear so much. There is one peculiar cause of accident which' appears to be particularly associated with the bicycle, in that the latter is in itself a special means to the end of producing a distinct and well-recognized form of nervous perturbation, which may, for convenience of description, be designated the bicycle fright. Although it occurs most frequently with inexperienced riders, it often attacks others who have under ordinary circumstances reasonable control of their wheels. Under certain conditions the passive machine becomes, by a mental perversity of the rider, an uncontrollable and active agent of an apparently unavoidable accident.

The vehicle is thus forced to run into the very danger that the rider would otherwise avoid, and a direct collision is Inevitable in spite of the frantic efforts to prevent it. So far from having any proper will force in the matter, the rider appears to aid the perverse and calamitous tendency. The phenomena are to be explained, however, on well-established psychological principles, and these differ in degree from similar ones in that they are more distinctly individual than under other and more usual methods of travel. It is purely and simply a perversion of determination on the part of the rider entirely uncontrolled by any other counteracting agency. The one element of for a frightened horseman is the possibility of there being some little remainng sense in the horse, some instinctive power on the part of the latter to avert collisions, independently of the demoralized occupant of the saddle.

On the other hand, the runaway bicycle becomes en intensified exemplification of the rider's less of individual control. It would appear to resemble stage fright in many essentia particulars. intense and overwhelming desire to do well in the face of danger temporarily paralyzes the necessary will force and makes such1 a result impossible. The untrained bicyclist who wishes to avoid the vehicle approaching from an opposite direction finds himself helplessly steering toward the object instead of away from it. Under the hypnotic influence of concentrated attention, his movements become inco-ordinate, and in the struggle to regain his lost grip he becomes the hopeless victim of thej perverted reflexes of purposeless effort and the abject subject of an optical illusion.

When once attacked With this nervous malady it is almost use less to attempt to prevent its injurious tendencies. The victim can no more help himself than can the gnat resist the attraction of the, flame. All attempts to collect the scattering wits usually add to the original difficulty and intensify the hysterical despera tion of a lost cause. The only hope is in immediate dismounting and the gain ing of an opportunity for the natural recovery of nervous equilibrium. For obvious reasons associated with the well-known tendency to nervous disabilities in females, such phenomena are more frequent in that sex than in the other, but they occur often enough in both to demand serious attention in connection with the neces sity for lessening the number of many avoidable accidents.

So widely is this form of fright acknowledged, that teachers of bicycle riding lay special stress upon the danger of fixing the gaze upon any object necessary to be avoided, and in proof of their point frequently demonstrate to beginners the strange tendency, even in roomy halls, to collide with obstacles purposely placed in prominent positions. One of the remedies suggested is to look away from rather than toward the object to be avoided, fixing the gaze ahead and only in the direction in which the machine should be steered. On the same principle, it is uni formly advised that the rider should never look at the revolving wheel or the moving pedals. Medical Record. TROT FAIR.

"AN INDIAN TRAIL." The members of the Hedding Sunday school are to be favored on Tuesday evening next with a lecture by Rev. E. S. Annable of Blossburg, on "An Indin Trail or Six Years With the Red Men." Ticket giving free admission will be distributed at the opening session of the Sunday school to-morrow. Rev.

Annable is probably better qualified to speak intelligently of the Indian and his manner of life than and other man on the lecture platform; having been connected with the Indian department of the Government for six years, and located at Fort Belknap, Montana, over twenty years ago, when all that region was over a thousand miles from civilization, and swarmed with Sioux Indians. 1 He was a close observer of their life, character and customs, and has filled his lecture with interesting and profitable information. THE GOOD CONFESSION. Confess God's gift supreme! Can the world's wealth or fame Compete with the endless life Enshrined in Christ's great namef Confess his sovereign power, His condescending grace. His matchless suffering love For the rescue of the race! Confess your conscious need, Offer the suppliant's plea, And he, who taught to pray, Will surely answer thee.

Confess your love for him, Since he first loved you, And sin and selfishness His spirit will subdue. Let not earth's phantoms vain Bfgulle you ot the prize. Be this the golden hour When glad hosannas Use O'er trophies of Christ's grace From saintly ranks above, And swell heaven's high, ecstatic chant Of redeeming love 1 Frederick Saunders. There is no time for blind obedience, but for hard, conscientious, prayerful thought. We are asked to recognize the entire f.nacial system of our country.

It is a problem of unparalleled seriousness, and, if an error be committed, let us remember that the burden will fall, where it always falls, not on the rich, but on the poor. Those who are least able to bear the distress will be the first to suffer. The Examiner. This life, without reference to the future, is only good for what we can get out of It; but It is so planned and projected that we cannot get any good out of it for the pressnt which is not also good for the future. It is everybody's experience that the pleasures of this life, which are not in harmony with a pleasant total life, when they are balanced against the accompanying or the succeeding pain which they involve, do not pay.

The balance is on the wrong side. The coarse, rapacious, brutal and conscienceless, stolid as they may appear, can not shut out the consciousness of penalty "and contempt which fall upon them day by day. The Interior. It is a time for being frank, outspoken and hopeful. The gracious coolness following the terrible heats, is calculated to take the fever out of our tempers also; and an American Christian must never despair of his country nor despise those who differ with him.

The plain speaking man to-day who keeps in good temper, takes pains to find good grounds for his argument and has undaunted faith in his country and the right, is the best evidence that a free people are not going into anarchy, nor the best government to fail because of indifference or selfishness among the American people. The Evangelist, The history of the church as well as the history of the Bible, furnishes an irspiration to the minds of young people such as can be derived from, no other source. In its most utilitarian aspect "the religious feeling" is refining and humanizing; the art, the architectural and pictorial of Christianity, its devotional literature as embodied principally in the Prayer Book, are instinct with graces of an unearthly quality, admiration for which is distinctly elevating but more important is it to recollect that only in the literature of Christianity can men find those ideals of moral beauty and sublimity, which are, as they have ever been, transcendant in their effect upon the direction of human conduct. The Churchman. Much experience leads us to look with deep distrust on the man of e-eniua who, conscious of his irift.

relies imon it and scorns study arid preparation. We recall a certain gentleman sent to Congress from Ohio, the reason being that his endowments were so remarkable that on "any subject" at "a moment's notice," he could "just mount the platform and carry all before him." One session disclosed him limitations and going up like a rocket like a rocket he came We think of a preacher so quick of thought, so fluent of speech, so graceful of manner, that he could easily have gone to the front had he supplemented his genius with industry. But flattery spoiled him and his race was soon run. The Christian Leader. "Sometimes in the past he had a genuine religious experience, and he is trying to live upon it to-day." So said one man to another in our hearing the other day.

Pathetic, 4ndeed, is it to think of nourishing a soul on feelings and convictions that have not undergone a freshening for a score of years or more. The man thus characterized passes for a Christian man and there can be no doubt regarding the reality of his conversion. His title to heaven.

MAY BENEFIT ELMIRA. The Loss of the Wieting Will Bring Superior Productions Here. The heavy loss to Wagner Reis by the buring of the Wieting opera house at Syracuse Wednesday night will be a gain to Elmira. Manager Smith, said yesterday that it was probable that many of the fine attractions booked for the Wieting would be brought to the Lyceum theatre, which will add much to this season's theatrical feast. This morning's Syracuse Post says: The plans of Wagner Reis are depending upon the decision of Wieting regarding the rebuilding of the house.

They will attempt to book many of the attractions which were to have appeared at the Wieting for other houses of their circuit. The managements of the Bastable and the Grand have offered what open dates they have. Donnelly Girard, who were booked for the Wieting next Monday, will appear at the Bastable. The "Uncle Tom's Cabin" of Moore Cast-ner will appear at the Alhambra. The bookings for the fall and winter at the Wieting had just been made.

Manager Moses Reis went to New York to live last fall, finding it advantageous to remain there on account of the greater facilities offered for securing attractions. The list secured for the coming season, which was to open on Labor Day with Donnelly Girard in "The Rainmakers," had been announced as follows: Olga Nethersole, Stuart Robson, "Shore Acres," Herrmann, Peter F. Philadelphia," Excelsior, William Gillette in his new play, "Secret Service," Sol Smith Rusisell, "Sowing the Wind," "The Sporting Duchess," "Lady Slavey," "Sinbad," "A Black SheeD," "Madam Sans Gene," William Barry, John Hare, Kellar, "The Brownies," Thomas W. Keene, "Cherry Pickers," Sousa's Band, Willard, Lewis Morrison, Rhea, John Drew, "Old Homestead," "Gay Parisians," "County Fair" and all of Charles Frohman's productions. Among the operatic attractions the Wieting had its share booked, including the Jefferson De Angelis opera company, the Delia Fox opera company, "Wang," and De Koyen and Smith's new opera, "The Mandarin," given by the original company.
