And let us consider one auother
to provoke unto love and to good
WOrks. HEBREWS, x, 24.
The man who thinks only of
himself and is forgetful ot his ob
ligations to others doesn't count
for mnch either in this world or
the next.
A purely selfish man who wants
everything and gives nothing.lives
in the suburbs of purgatory and
will not have far to go when He
dies.
To recognize your rights and ig
nore your duties is to. pursue a
a policy which angels deplore and
devils rejoice at.
God can use a man to the best
advantage when the soul which
is prone to selfishness evicts its
tenant and makes room for the oc
cupancy of heavenly visitants.
The man who seeks for this
world's goods exclusively, whose
chief possession is a bank accountf
will find himself out of place in
heaven, a stranger in a strange
land.
, Money is a good thing to work
for, but it isn't the only thiug.nor
the(best thing.
It is not well to despise money,
but you should remember that
while it will buy neither character
nor happiness. Unless you gen
erously share it with those who
are unfortunate it will make you
narrow and mean.
The most pitiful spectacle that
eye ever looked upon is the man
who has more than he knows what
to do with, but refuses to eive his
surplus to keep the wolf away from
the door across the street. '
The noblest men are those who
give, not those who keep, and there
is more satisfaction in 86eing a poor
man's child eat bread which you
have furnished than in sitting at
your own table when plenty a
bounds, if you ignore the poor
man's children and let them go j
hungry
True religion is a very simple
matter. You can get along with
out doing good to your fellow crea
tures who need your help.
The world is full of sorrow and
struggles, Tears fall like showers
and sighs fill the air as when the
wind sweeps through a forest of
pines. Those who suffer aie part
of the family to which you belong.
You have no right to be iudiffer
ent. To be negleoted is a crime
If vou can lend a helping hand,but
refuse to do it on the ground that
you wish to use both hands for
yourself, you lose an opportunity
which Providence has presented.
and you will have difficulty in ex
plaining your conduct when the
hour (f reckoning comes.
Doing good to others is the best
way to get a blessing for vourself.
You will find the strongest proofs
that the religion you believe in is
from Uod if you will oase study
ing the theology which is in books
and devote an equal time to God's
poor in your neighborhood.
When a man gives cheer to an
other's the angels mysteriously put
cheer heart into his own.
It is right and proper to pray.
Miiy,U8 this day ur daily bread,'

and that you shall give some one
else a share of the bread He gives
to you.
If you are - suffering from an af
flictiou what will you do ? How
shall you seee relief ? Bv asking
Qod to lighten vour burden ? No ;
by doing what you can to lighten
the burden of some equally troub

Would you increase your faith?
Would you dissipate your doubts ?
Would you convince yourself tfea.'
life is very well worth living, even
when the shadows throw their
gloom on your path ? Then visit
those who are wearily plodding
along, hopeless and friendless- You
getting yourself and saying a kind
ly word to some poor creature who
would think ha was in heavenly
surroundings if he lived under
your roof and enjoyed your ad
vantages.
When you are in the presence ot
the Lord, who was ;IIimself poor
and oppressed, and , who so lonely
that he knelt, in Gethsemaue to
ask for help, iou will be poorly if
you have nothing better to sav
than that you accepted all the
creeds of the Church and keDt
yourself unspotted from the world.
But ou will be well off if you can
assure Him that you will, keep
some one else unspotted from the
world at great pains and sacrifice.
Love God, love your neighbor,
obey tne command,. "Feed my
lambs," and you will get a resi
dence in the new Jerusalem.
You may be worth a million but.
if you have done nothing to make
the world better you will die a
begpar.
You may be counted among the
poor, but if you have been a broth
er to your fellow men a group ot
angels gather about your bed and
usher you with- songs into the
presence of Him who said : 4,The
first shall be last, and the last
first.'
No one yet loved God acceptably
who did not love his children. .
There is no room in the house
not built with hands for a soul
that has not made some sacrifice
others.
If you love your kind and mani
fest that love by generous deeds it
will be but a step from your grave
to Heaven.

The Hudson Ulver.
The Hudson River, as we call it,
along the western shore of the is
land of Manhattan, is now a ma
jestic estuary rather than a river,
and is deep enough for all the uses
of great ships. But its present
bottom is formed s of the rock
wreckage of an earlier day, which
has largely filled up a chasm once
several hundred feet deep, through
which the old liver ran.
So colossal was the sheet of ice
which came sweeping down from
the northwest over the top of the
Palisades in the ice age that this
ancient chasm of the Hudson Riv
er a veritable canon once
changed its course no whit; for
the direction of the. grooves and
scratches seen everywhere on the
exposed surface of the Palisades,
and pointing obliquely across the
river's course, run in the same di
rection as do those on the rocks
over which the city stands.
It not infrequently happens that
steamers and ships bound for New
York, when not quite certain of
their whereabouts as they approach
the coast, are compelled to seek
what help they can by consulting
the nearest land, which, under
these renditions, is the sea bottom.
The sea bottom along ihe coast
has be in bo often and so carefully
4,lelt" that we know a great plateau
extends out beyond te coaat line
tor sorflo. eighty or ninety miles,
where t suddenly falja off into the
great dePft8 of the Atlantic. The
place on which New York stands
wast it is believed, once much
higher than it ia now, and was
separated from the Noith Atlant
ic border by some eighty or ninety
miles of, low seacoast land, now
submerged, and forming this great
continental plateau. Indeed, the
New Jersey and adjacent coast is
still einkine at the rate of a few
inches in a century.
For us t-day the Hudson River
ends southward where it enters
New York Harbor. But a chan
nel, starting ten miles southeast of
Bandy Hook, and in a general way
continuing the line of the Hudson
runs across the submerged con
tinental plateau, where finally, af
ter widening and deepening to form
a tremendous submarine chasm, it
abruptly ends where the plateau
falls off into the deep sea.
This chasm near the end of the
submerged channel is, if we may
believe the story of the plummet,
twenty-five miles long, a mile and
a quarter wide, and in places two
thousand feet in vortical depth be
low its submerged edges, them
selves far beneath the ocean's sur
face. This ''drowned river" is proba
bly the old channel of what we
call the Hudson Rivor, alonjj which
a part of the melting glacier sent
its flood during and at the cbse of
the Age of Ice.
And so at last rounded and
emoothed rock surfaces, where
once sharp crags towered aloft;
glacial grooves and scratchos on
every hand; erratic bowlders,great
and small, cumbering the ground ;
a typhal rocking stone delicately
poised by vanished forces long
ago; a terminal moraine so great
that it forms picturesquo land

The State of North Carolina
seems to be thoroughly alive to
the subject of good roads, ae is
shown by the convention recently
4
held in Charlotte. No less than
twenty-seven of the principal cpun-
ties were represented by delega
tions, and the discussions were
earnest and to the point. An in
teresting feature was the compari
son of the cost of ancient and
modern road-making, with the
figures in favor of the latter moile.
A number of roads have been re
built by convict labor in the vicin
ity of Charlotte, and the menders
of tho convention who drove over
them found them as level and as
firmly surfaced as city streets. It
was shown that tho convicts could
be provided at an expense of twenty-one
cents per day, which paid
for the guards, for board, cloth
ing, shelter and medical attend
ance. Tho actual cost of titty con
victs working on the roads for
thirty days was $315, while for or
dinary labor the same number of
men would require $975 in wagso
at least, making a difference of
$G60 in favor supervisors stated
that the convicts actually perform
ed 25 per cent, more work in tli3
same time.
The benefit of good roads in sav
ing of horse-power ami time in
hauling crops t' market was dwelt
upon, and it was shown that one
horse could often haul four times
the load on a macadamized road
that he could on an ordinary dirt
highwTuv. (Jood'roads, according
to some speakers, improved tin
social relations of neighborhoods,
increased the church attendance
and were a benefit in many other
ways. Resolutions were adonted
in favor of a road law and urging
all commercial bodies and road
supervisions to co-operate with
the Good Roads Association in its
efforts.
A delegation of North Carolina
people is now visiting Northern
cities to gather information about
road-making. They will examine
Pennsylvania- ami New York high
ways. Man'f Record.

Not half enough has ever been
written or said in praise of grand
mothers. All the sweet, tender in
cense offered to mother can be
duplicated upon the altar of
erandmotherhood, for are not the
grandmothers just mothers after
all mothers ot their own children
and Iheir children' children, their
: hearu getting larger and larger
with love as the new generation of
babies comes along, their eyes
brightening with bliss of an extra
joyous motherhood and their arms
even more ready than in the daya
gone by to carry tno little restless
human burden, their hands more
willing to bind up briar-scratehed
tinkers and their lips more anxious
to kiss away the tars and smooth
out the frowns.
It is the memory of mistakes in
their own child-raNmg that makes
them doubly tender with the little
one who now lisps tleir name? It
is because the little child that nes
tles in their arms to-day brings
Uack in memory those days when
another baby lay then a baby
who to-day answers b the name of
mother ? Who can solve the
problem of the great love that
causes them to forget the weight
of their years and makes them
willing to work and endure with
all the ardor of youth? Kvery
day we see it. exemplified, and tho
children are the first, to recognize
and profit by it. What father ami
mother refuse, grandma will be al
most certain to grant. When lit

hand is there to steady the (alter

grandma's caress heals the wound.
