Soul-saving is the ultimate aim in this world of all Chris tian work. It is well enough to talk of building character and of developing Christian graces and of reforming society. These are the finishing touches to be put on the structure after its foundation and walls are in place, but there is only folly in hanging up painted scenery for a world's admiration while there is nothing but gauze to support this artistic display. Nor do we believe there is any better way of improving char acter than by keeping forever closely at the task of saving | souls. The temple is built by fitting each individual stone and board for its place and this fitting is to be done in forest and quarry, not after the ma terial is placed in the wall.— Central Baptist. The Country Editor. Verily, the life of the coun try editor is a path of thorns. His bread is promises and his meat is disappointment. His creditor chaseth him by day and bad dreams drive sleep from him by night. One subscription is wood and behold it is rotton and soggy and short of measure. His "exchanges" are waded into in a most merciless man ner and heisdaresome to grunt. He whoppeth up the country politician, who gets elected and knoweth him no more. He puffeth the church fair gratis, and then attendeth it and payeth his dollar and re ceiveth two oysters. Two young"people marry and he giveth them a great puff, they goeth to housekeeping and taketh not the paper. Yes, he is bound with woe and his days are full of grief and trouble and vexation. But sorrow endureth only for a night and joy cometh in the morning. He ploddeth along and en dureth in patience and it is written that he will receive Ms reward at the judgment. —&- DUNN, IM. C. SEPTEMBER 25, 1901, Assassination Predicted Last May. President McKinley was warned on May 22nd last to be cautious of assassins during the month of September. Thi- warning was sent by telegrapl to him while he was in SaiJ Francisco by Gustave Meyer, a mere boy, of No. 101 Washing ton street, Hoboken. At the time President McKinley was watching eagerly over the bed side of Mrs, McKinley, whose life was despaired of by the at tending physicians for several days. Young Meyer had predicted the election of President Mc- Kinley, and when he was elect ed he remembered the predic tion of the Hoboken boy and wrote him a letter thanking j him. t When Mrs. McKinley wasl (taken ill on the western trip: and was thought to be dying, young Meyer wired the presi dent at San Francisco as fol lows : ' "Your wife will live another year—until about next Febru ary or March—but be careful of yourself. You will be stabbed or shot during the month of June, or else in Sep tember." The young astrologer was firmly convinced that there would be an attempt made to take the president's life during the month of June, but he said it might be delayed until the autumn. He said he deter mined this from no other source than the stars, working out the horoscope according to well known astrologists. He said it was so firmly impressed upon his mind that he could not re frain from sending a telegram to President McKinley at the time. He felt that he had the confidence of the president be cause of the letter which the president had written him con cerning his prediction that the election would result in a land slide. "I feel sure," said the Hobo ken boy astrologer at the time, "that Mrs. McKinley will re cover from this attack of illness, but 1 do not feel at all sure that President McKinley will live another year of his term. It is plainly indicated by astrology that he will be assassinated, or that an attempt will be made on his life before the present year is ended. That is why I wired him as I did."—New York World.

"Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making a long bicycle trip," says F. L. Taylor, of New Albany, Brad ford County, Pa. "I was taken suddenly with diarrhoea, and was about to give up the trip, when editor Ward, of the La ceyville Messenger, suggested that I take a dose of Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy. I purchased a bottle and took two doses, one before starting and one on the route. I made the trip suc cessfully and never felt any ill effect. Again last summer I was almost completely run down with an attack of dysen tery. I bought a bottle of this same remedy and this time one dose cured me." Sold by Hood & Grantham.

A very novel and interesting theory has recently been devel oped by Dr. J. YV. Coiling of Toronto, Ohio, tending to ex plain the almost irresistible in fluence which actuates men to mob violence and lynching bees. Coming from a northern man, acting the role of apologist for that species of disorder which is bt-cominiT so prevalent in the South—lawlessness which has met with the fiercest denuncia tion from the northern press— this article sliojild be carefully read by the thinking people of the South. , Writing to the Alkoloidal Clinic, a medical journal pub lished in Chicago, Dr. Collins says: "I wish to call attention to a certain condition or disposition that seems to be very clearly marked in the generation of men and women who occupy the most prominent position on 'the stage of life' at this time. It has been demonstrated be yond a doubt that in all parts of this great and glorious coun try of ours there are men who have an inborn and irresistible impulse to punish crime. When an outrage of an aggravating or horrifying character has been committed, they come together, impelled by one desire and one single purpose, namely: pun ishment immediate and terrible. When their object has been accomplished they return to their homes, quiet and peacea ble citizens. They do not riot or destroy property, except in carrying out their object of the guilty. "It will be remembered that the men of mature years of to day, whose ages range from 28 to 38 years, were born at a time when the mothers of this nation were looking upon each other with a degree of hatred, never before equaled in all our history. The mother in the South burning with a fierce de sire to destroy her Northern sister, together with the whole army of 'blue-bellied Yankees,' knew no bounds to her feelings of desire for swift and terrible punishment upon her Northern foes. The mother of the North, perhaps a shade cooler in her nature, a little slower to anger, yet none the less powerful in her hatred when fully aroused, felt the same desire for quick and decisive punishment to be inflicted on the "Butternutclad Johnnies" of the South. "The men born of these mothers under the circumstan ces and surrounded by the con ditions above described are the men who lead the lynching par ties in almost if not in every State of the Union. They are deterred by no human law, are dismayed at no threat of pun ishment : they are acting in ac cordance with their inborn in stincts. They were begotten at a time when the most promi nent object of thought was how to most successfully destroy op posing armies. They were car ried in the womb amid scenes of excitement and surrounded by the most favorable conditions to produce men predisposed to punish crime without waiting for the slow, tedious and oft times uncertain operations of the common law,"—Communi cated. Right Sort of Moods. It is always a good plan to believe in a person until we prove him to be unworthy of our trust. If we would do this more we would find fewer per sons really untrust-worthy. It is because people do not trust that there are so many to dis trust. Is it not true that Jws respond to the expectations of others? If we meet a person who feels in good humor, who has all good news and is so full of joy that he seems to think others feel the same, do we not meet his cordial greeting with one hardly a whit less cordial? On the contrary, if we meet with a lachrymose, hisheart ened person, one who looks through the purple mists of self and self-inteiest, one who be lieves all people are suspicious characters, are we not in a measure influenced by this per son? Do we not leave his pres ence with a felling of suspicion, and do we not find ourselves wondering at our faith in hu man kind, and having this faith turned to unbelief and bitter ness? .'.We are people of moods, but we may cultivate the right sort of moods, and we may in a great measure overcome our ] pre-disposition to discourage j ment and to looking on the dark A Fox to Catch a Fox. "Boys," said a shrewd schoolmaster, "we must have closer attention to our books, lhe first one that sees another boy idle, I want him to inform me, and I will attend to his case." Presently a boy's hand shot «p. ' Teacher, Joe Simmons is looking off his book." "Ah ! he is, is he? cried the schoolmaster. And how did you know it? Did you see him while you were looking hard at your own book? You may both come forward." How like this is the greater school of life. People are al ways trying to catch one anoth er in fault, and nine times out of ten the fault we discover is exactly our own. We would not be so likely to find it if we were not guided to it bv some kindred propensity. Have you not noticed how singularly ab surd, how unconsciously self satirizing are the unkind criti cisms people make on one another? The moral fox is al ways catching his brother fox. He seldom catches an eagle or a horse, because he does not un derstand the ways of eagles and horses. The suspicious person finds everybody suspicious; the dishonest person thinks no one is trustworthy. The unchari table person is constantly con demning the uncharitablenesB of others. There is something grotesque, and at the same time pitiful, iu this indirect self-disclosure of people who have deeply set faults. It would be a pretty good rule for each of us to suspect him self in the same particular or particulars in which he finds himself constantly suspecting others. The chances are that we have a tendency to sin along the very lines for which we con demn others. A smart fox catcher is liable to have a good deal of the fox in him.—James Buckham. An Advertising Bank. A Chicago savings bank has increased its business enormous ly by shrewd advertising in the newspapers. The manager scoffs at the suggestion that ad vertising is beneath the dignity of a financial institution. "We have induced thousands of care less people to become savers by daily calling their attention to the advantages of having mon ey laid by," he says. "No concern should be too dignified to tell the people through the newspapers what then should be told."-Philadelphia Record. ••• A COMMUMCATIOX.

The founders of our govern ment believed iu laws protect ing citizens who respected the rights of others and framed con stitutions and enactments on a broad b isis of religious and po litical freedom to all who sought home* and protection under our institutions, but denied license to construe such freedom into criminal action. The law of self-protection is strong and re pressive measures ar£ demand ed for the suppression of anar chy. Anarchy is the doctrine of the abolition of government, and supposes a social state in which there shall be no King or President, no Parliament or Congress; no head of law, State or religion. Everything shall be left to individual caprice, and those who believe in use of power, resort to bomb-throwing the pistol, the dagger and mur der of every kind.

"John always does his level best at everything," was the reply. That is really the secret of the whole matter; our level best, and stopping at nothing short of it. Lately a man who had distinguished himself in the war, was being entertained in a home where a bright-eyed lad sat at his feet, eagerly lia t nng to the conversation. "Well, my boy," said the gen tleman, "of what are you think ing?" "Sir," was the. answer, "I mean to be a great soldier like you." "Oh," he said, as he laid bare a hidden «*»ar.
