REVERENCE. Sacred Scripture Texts That arc Spoken of In a Lijrlit and Irreverent JInnuer. It sometimes seems almost a thing- of trie past. Reverence for parents, for teachers, and in exalted positions, used to be observed with the strictest but at the'present day nothing 1 evinces the lax rule which obtains in many families of good standing as the viiter lack of respect or deference paid by the young to those who are older and wiser than themselves. Deplorable as we hold it to be that the old- time code of and decorum is so rapidly passing away, there is yet a far ore important consideration connected with the general lack of reverence prevailing with reference to sacred matters.

read the other day: 'It is very easy to lower the standard of reverence for anything. have only to speak of it habitually in a light way. There is nothing like it to take the life ont of the most precious text of Scripture. TVe may repent of such sin with bitter those words can never be to us again what they were before. We may have cut down a bridge we shall some day vainly long to cross." We.

must confess to having listened with astonishment to what were considered clever conundrums asked by professing Christians, and made by twisting and turning some Bible verse in the most ludicrous manner, and so making it serve to answer the laughable question. Years and years ago, in the thoughtless years of childhood, a companion much older than ourself repeated a portion of the Lord's Prayer, making the sweet, simple sentence to rhyme with a silly, irreverent line, and long after maturity had been reached the foolish rhyme would force itself into the mind when striving with all reverence to repeat the pure and hallowed prayer. And just so, there comes to be verse after verse which has been travestied and made the subject of riddle, until as the eyes fall upon it in the sacred volume, or as the minister reads it from the sacred desk, involuntarily into the mind darts the queer, grotesque use which has been made of the verse. Shame that it ever should be so. And great pity it is that anyone professing- love for the Word of God should be willing to repeat even a very so-called cute" conundrum, made by misapplying a text of Scripture capable of serving a double meaning-.

We believe that trie Testaments of the Bible are the invaluable legacies by the study of which the life can be ennobled, through acceptance of their teachings the soul can be saved. They come to us from God. What would be thought of a man or woman who would be willing to take the sayings or precepts of a good parent and make fun, not exactly of them, but out of them? What right- minded person would regard other than with contempt such really contemptible lack of reverence and respect, such lack of delicacy, of filial feeling and regard? The trouble is that "the standard of reverence," as before quoted, has been lowered by allowing these things to be spoken of repeatedly, if not habitually, in a light way. A believer in the precious truths of the Bible should remember two things in this connection: First, a loose, light application of a Scriptural verse is generally the work of some one who is no lover of the precepts themselves, or of Him who gave them. And again, there comes a time when no other promises than those of the Bible can sustain the 'fainting, dying heart: no other, words comfort and support the spirit when the dark' valley of the shadow of death is reached.

And yet, some of the most solemn words of the Bible havo been used time and again to make the thoughtless laugh, and so cause them to forget or overlook the real, intense meaning of the literal sense. We must sometimes hear such things; but they never need be repeated. Parents, especially, who wish their children to grow up with an idea of reverence for Bible and for sacred things should never allow themselves to speak lightly of texts of Scripture, or of all things to repeat a witticism based on some verse of the Bible. No one can afford to make light of the life-boat which offers the only chance of ever reaching the shore in safety. When the time comes to lean hard on the rod and staff which 'alone can comfort and support, it will be a bitter thing to reflect that when in health and strength all thought of coining dependence was cast to the winds, while the helpful verse was perverted to serve a double meaning and cause a careless at Work, Miail we decide the division of interests in the home, keeping a loving-, fim touch on each? We all see homes and husbands from too much housekeeping.

all know woinrn who perceive no ciiSo-oncc, between housekeeping and homekceping. That man whose wife knows the difference between the two professions, and chooses to belong to the first, is a fortunate man. Perhaps no question that faces a wife is harder to decide than how she shall be a perfect mother and yet a perfect wife. It is so hard for a mother to educate herself to a little wholesome neglect of her children, that she may be the companion of their father. Yet how can a man find companionship in his home if the mother of his children becomes their nurse at the expense of every other duty or pleasure? The saddest experience that can come to any husband or wife is an acquiescent separation, and this experience is lived in too many homes.

One, and sometimes both, are looking forward to the time when the first clays of their married life will be lived over again; when there will be more money to hire servants, or when the children will be grown. If we could count on the future there would be a degree of safety in trusting this future time for happiness. But death, mental growth for one and not for the other, and loss of mental power and the terrible possibilities that stand in the path of that future. Each month, yes, each day, is a link in a chain, or a bar between two souls who are interdependent for their happiness, responsible for the happiness of all who share the home or house they create. A mother who sacrifices her husband's companionship to the children that are alike the bond and the burden of each is not a wise mother; the short-sightedness that is at the root of her misconception prevents the clear spiritual perception necessary to the true mother.

The first essential in every true home is love, and it is not the quantity in the home, but the quality and disposition of it, that makes happiness. No outer and visible bond can hold the souls of a husband and wife in unison, Compan- ionship, close and intimate, that has in it the spiritual power to shut out every object in life attimes-except each other, and find Heaven, and God in those moments, is the only true relation between husband and wife. The children are better loved, more wisely governed, more spiritually trained, when two souls made one by love are their guardians. That is a home rather than a house where such love is, and the children are nearer perfection when it is a united force, not a divided power, that makes the law and light under which they Union. A MEDLEY OF THOUGHTS.

INDIANA. What A TRUE HOUSE SPIRIT. An Essential Feature to the Happiness ol Any Household In Love. I The hardest questions that come to is are those that strive to settle a balance, fair and just, between our several duties. How far are we justified in excluding- all outside questions from our active interest? And, still harder, how "What a Jumble the Work of Our Minds 'PVoulfl be If Seen at One Time.

Some one has said: "If all the thoughts which pass through our minds in a single year could be set before us, what a medley would make!" hat a. jumble would there be of good thoughts and bad ones. How many of them would be foolish, vain, sinful, thoughts? Who would wish even his closest friend to know what each one had been? What Christian would not be greatly grieved and humbled by the knowledge that all these weak and wicked thoughts were the of his own brain? And yet, not a single thought has flitted through our minds unknown to God! Remembering that "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he;" and that as Jesus knew the thoughts of the caviling scribes, so He knows the thoughts of our hearts, how careful should we be in regard to all our thoughts. There are innumerable subjects worthy of the closest thought of intelligent beings. We should allow our minds, even compel them, to dwell on these subjects.

Especially should the goodness of God, the tenderness of Jesus, the love of the Spirit, receive frequent serious, prayful consideration. The Psalmist says: "We have thought of Thy loving-kindness." What a delightful theme for thy pious mind! How exhaustless! He loved us with an everlasting love; loved us while we were yet sinners; loved us when in our deepest penitence we felt ourselves unworthy of the love of God or man! Let us think of His lovingkindness; when we sit in His temple; when we enter our closets; when we lie down, and when we rise up. When sinful thoughts intrude upon us. let us compel them to give place to thoughts of God's loving- Presbyterian. RAM'S HORN ITEMS.

Stinginess costs more than extravagance. The way to find God is to turn away from sin. If God is God anywhere He is God. everywhere. A Christian life that is not a busy one is an empty one.

If there is sin in the heart there will be sin in the life. The virtues and vices sometimes live very close together. No man ever finds out much about himself until he finds God. The only real strong people in this world are the people of God. A good name is a good thing to have, but a good heart is better.

Great things are given to man by his doing little things for God. The Bible has no promise for the pretending Christian who goes in bad company. When you find it dark everywhere else look straight up. It is always light there. There is such a thing as mistaking our own wilfulness for religious earnestness.

The highest attainable success in God's service is accomplished ivhen we are faithful. Never ask the devil to dinner unless' you are willing to take him for regular boarder. Nowhere in the Bible are we commanded to be successful, but all men commanded be faithful; Got Ills Money. April days ago E. V.

Favrington. probate judge at wrote to Colbert for information concerning tli-j whereabouts -of his son Sabin. He said the young man had left home with 81,200 the horse side lit Cambridge City and Xhe exception of a postal card mailed at Indianapolis nothing had been heard of him. The letter and dispatch were turned over to Chief Splann and Friday young Mr. Farrington was brought to police headquarters.

At the superintendent's suggestion he wrote a letter to his father, explaining that lie is well and in time will return home. The police authorities say that the young man will not go home because he has lost the 81,200 at the hands of a lot o.f sharpers, and is ashamed to face his family. AVhent April Indiana reports that the growth in wheat for the last week or ten days has been slow. It will not average from more than 5 to 7 inches in height. The crop is not as far advanced as a year ago.

Few oats have been put into the ground yet, and but little plowing except on sod ground and uplands. The wheat generally looks well, and as soon as the ground begins to warm up a rapid growth will be the result. In southern Indiana wheat has made rapid growth daring the last ten days and a great deal of it now is "jointed." Death of Col. diaries Offdcn Wood. WASHINGTON, April Charles Ogden Wood, of Indiana, died-at his in this city Friday of pneumonia.

FORT WAYXE, April young men entered the pawnbroker shop of Horace Merriotte last Tuesday at the noon hour and asked to be shown some high-priced diamonds. While they were examining the stones the proprietor left the men alone for a moment- When he returned they had fled, taking with'them about 81,000 worth of the best diamonds. The police officers kept the robbery a secret, hoping to capture the thieves, but their efforts have been unsuccessful. Indicted for Burglary. APor.iS, April E.

Kheinhold, the attorney, was arrested Friday afternoon on five indictments, charging him with conspira- with, the Hprton gang, of burglars to rob numerous houses in this city. Bheinhold claims that he is the victim of a consniracy on the part of detectives against whom lie has filed numerous damage suits for false arrests. In default of bond he was sent to jail. Strike Looked For. BRAZIL, April block coal miners, of Clay county, met here Friday.

A committee appointed to wait upon the operators reported that no definite conclusion was arrived at, as the operators would not consider an advance, but are willing to pay the present price and sign a contract to that effect. The outlook is favorable for an amicable settlement and no strike is anticipated. Killed Her Child. IXDIASAPOLIS, April the morning Mrs. Dr.

SITUATION GHOWIXG DESPERATE. SCOTTDALE, April coke region is again the scene of lawlessness and excitement is at fever heat. Friday night a band of about 100 strikers assaulted the Leisenrinjr Ko. 2 plant ol the Frick Coke Company. Shots were exchang-ed, and for a time the fig-lit waged fm-iously.

The guards held their ground, and finally compelled the mob to beat a retreat, but not until one of the deputies was dangerously injured, and, it is thought, can not recover. Sheriff McCormick up to this time has been trying to deal patiently with, this lawless element and.to avoid if possible being charged, with using undue authority, but he has about concluded to surrender and call on the government for state troops. His deputies' lives have been placed in peril a number of times during- the past three or four days. At the offices of the Frick and McClure companies word is. given out that a few more men reported for work at a number of the plants now running and that the shipments of coke will be increased a few cars.

The various meetings held by the labor leaders seem to have no effect, at least not getting any of the men at work to quit. Master Workmen Wise and Hay have returned from the Whitney and Lippincott works, near Latrobe, where they held meetings Friday. They are greatly depressed over the failure to accomplish anything. The men remaining out demand that those at work be brought out and the Italians driven away within two days, or all the men would claim their jobs. The situation the leaders is becoming painfully serious and looks more like defeat every day, SCOTTDALE, was exploded in several parts of the coke region Friday night.

The only serious damage was at the Kyle works, where a large water tank was demolished.
