GENERAL CONFERENCE. “NOT IF IT WAS MY BOY.” The echoed v.f GeneraS Coo- lerencc, are many and cheer ing.

We have about iwef,ty-fivc dollars in the minute fund but wc need as much more, if wc get the number and kind of minutes the Conference de sires.

(luting which he remarker’ thatifouly s'uu-hnv TOnssaver from ruin it woulo pay for al the cost and care and laboi of establishing such an insti tution as that. After the ex treises Mr. Mann was asked: “Did you not color that a little when you said that all the expense and labor would be repaid if it only saved out boy?” “Not if it was my bov,’’ was the solemn and convinc ing reply. Ah! there is a wonderful value about “my boy.” Othei boys may be rude and rough; other boys may be recklesj- and wild; other bojs ma} seem to rtijuire more palni- and labor than they ever will repay; other boys may be lefi to driit uncared for the ruin which is so near at band; but “my boy”—it were worth the toil of a lifetime and the lav ish wealth of a world to save him from temporal and eter nnl ruin. We would go the world around to save him from peril, and would bless every hand that was stretched out to give him help or wel come. And yet every poor, wandering, outcast, homeless man is one whom some fond mother called “my boy.” Every lost woman, sunken in the depths of sin, was some body’s daughter in her dnyi of childish innocence. Today somebody’s son is a hungry is a weary, helpless wanderer, driven by necessity in the paths that lead to death Shall we shrink from labor shall wche.sitateat cost when the work before us is the sal vntiou of Q soul?

One of our number, Eld. W. M. Rodgers, got off the cars tc hear the address. He over took us the next day, report ed a very large and successful meeting and that he preacbeij three sermons, on the streets at intermissions and receiver twenty-seven dollars on hi^ salary as National Evange list.

We can now rend the history of thirty four sessions of the General Conference of our beloved denomination From the first one in Tun bridge, Vermont, in I SI! with only twenty delegates and six states represeted, down to the one just closed, at Florence, Ala. in which nearly all the states were rep resented by letter, or dele gates, many of them by both; a steady incienseis manifest and wc are ready to cxclam “what has God wrought.” Wc ought at once to com meoce preparation for the next GeneralCoofercDCT, with a firm purpose to make it the CONTEST DECIDED.

If you,could visit the home of Peter you would find many strange things. The children wear wooden shoes, and the girls are dressed iu quaint whitc-apsandaprons. WhcrtvcT yoj looked you would see g.eat windmills lifting tbei*’ ftims to the sky, The country is very low and there is always danger of the ea pouting ia and destroying al! the houses. To prevent this, the Djich people have built strong sea walls all along the ocean. The sea walls must bccarefnllyguard- In the delightful suburban aome of a Chicago Judge a group of neighbors “dropped one evening for an inform al call. A vivacious young woman at once proposed a game of cards. “Come, Judge,” she coaxed gaily, “play a game to pass the evening.” "Indeecl, I won’t,” prompt ly replied the Jurist. “Judge, are you such an old fogy that you won’t play cards?” “No, I’m not an old fogy.” “ Why don’eyouplay, then? “Wcl),” blurted out the fudge, crowded into a corner, ■ I’ve watched you card play- ^is a long while, and I’ve never yet seen a bunch of players that could get through a whole game without losing cheir tempers. Tbere’salways somebody complaining of the way somebody else has play ed, even in most friendly com pany. 1 won’t bother with anything that spoils one’s temper so.” “But, Judge,” still coaxe(3 cbe young woman, you know we are your guests, and you ought to play a game with us just because we want you to.” “Yes, you’re my guests, echoed the Judge, his spirit rising noticeably higher; “you arc my guests and that’s the reason why you ought to think of my preference for spending my evenings. Why shouldn’t you do wnat I want Co—sit down and talk about something sensible?” “Ihere’s just one reason why you play cards, and that’s because youaresoemp- ty-beaded tbatyoucau’ttalk. You don’t know enough to spend an evening in any kind of conversation, and so you have to kill time fingering over those useless cards. Yon cau do as you please. I’m going to the library to read. Afterward tlie Judge ex plained why he foreswore cards. “1 never played much, and was always poor at the busi ness. One evening, however, 1 sat down at home with my wife, roy son and a young lady neighbor for a game of whist. “Pretty soon 1 rdade some raisplay. My son groaned, “0, father, that was wretch ed!’’ 1 turned toward the young woman. Her face was white with auger. “Was that such a very bad play?” I asked. It was inexcusable!” she aliijost hissed. “I laid down my cards “Here,” I said, “is where 1 quit. If this paltry, good-for , nothing game can raise such a tempest as this over a blun der that I’m likely to make any time, I’m never going to touch it again. I know Ican’t play very well, and I’m not going to put my self in position to be scorned any more like this for an ignorance that isn’t worth curing.”—Uoideu tified. “GOOD ENOUGH FOR HOME.’ SELF HELP. Yes, it is an awful scrawl, but it’s to mother. She won’t mind,” said Pepita. “As long as she knows we arrived safe and sound she won’t criticiz' the writing.” And happy, hurried Pepita gayly scratched an illegible address on the envelope and tossed it into the post box without a stamp, and this was to the loving mother, an xiously waiting for a word irom her careless, pretty,-sel fish daughter. Pepita would die rather than appear at her hostess” Oreakfast table with her hair ia curl papers, but at home she goes about with her head thus (decorated sometimes half a day. Pepita never uses slang or chews gum or dog ears books or keeps her room looking as if a C3 clone had just passed— when she is visiting. She doer al! these things at home. Pepita would open her eyes with horror at the idea of be ing rude or discourteous to any one—outside of her home. Shq may not act according to any formulated rules of con duct, and doubtless does not realize the strict line she draws, but her motto seems to be, “Anything will do for the family.” Poor Pepita is one of a very large class. To this class be long the husbands who rush to open doors and fetch chairs for v» omen they know slight ly and let their wives go up three fl ghts of stairs to bring them a magazine or a hand kerchief. To this class belongs the woman of gentle manner and refined speech who, in the pri vacy of the nursery, boxes her children’s ears and scolds them shrilly. To this class belong the men who allow themselves to be trampled and imposed upon in business, and who tyran oize over their children and bully their wives. The charity that begins at home is a good thing, and it is a better thing when it ex tends beyond the home. But hy do these people not cul tivate for home enjoyment as well as for public exhibition, self control, courtesy, thou ghtfuloess, tact and toler-, an.ct?—Selected. i “Get the dictiorary and look it up yourself, dear.” “Rut, auntie, it is so much easier to ask you.” “Of course it is, Betty, but. ifl tell you today, you will have forgotten by tomorrow and will have to ask again. There is a. homely old saying that fits you all too well; “Easy come and easy go.” “Oh, dear! the diciionary is such a great big thing and I am never anywhere near it when I want to look up a word,” “How would you like to have a Httle one that you could carry about with you? If you will look upeyery word you are not sure of in the b’g dictionary and write it down cartfully with its dtfinition for—let me ser—yes, for one month I will give you the best and prettiest pocket diction- ary that I can buy at the end of that time.” “What a dear auntie you are? It’s a bargain! I promise to do my part l-aithfully.” And so one little girlformed the habit of coosuiting that wonderful book, the diction ary. The beginning of the school year is a good time to make good resolutions. Will you not try this year, littlecousin, to get just as much as you can out of your lessons in stead of skimming them over quickly and asking other peo ple for help that you could give yourselves? The things . that we look upourselvesand that we teach ourselves are the ones that we always re member.—Cousin Joan. AfHAT CAN YOU BRING? “How many loaves have you?” It is the Lord’s first question, and tfie bands of those who really want his help search their robes to see what they have hidden there. One brings his joy, another brings his pain, another brings his poor condition, anothtr has nothing to bring except bis sorrow that be has noth ing. It is a poor condition— cinly seven loaves and a few little fishes—but it is enough. His blessing falls upou tberr ; and they come back to the souls which gave them up to him, multiplied into the means of healthy, holy, bap py I'fe —Reformed Church Re cord. The average saloon is the most disreputable place in the community; it is a bureau of infomation on vret; it is the first place one would enter to iequire for a gambling hall or fora disorderly bouse. It is likewise the first place visited by the ( dicers of the law when they are looking fora crimi nal, and the first place closed in case r f riot and disturb ance. Those who defend the open saloon, do it on the ground that it is a necessary evil, and that the use of liq- our can be better regulat ed by license than by pro hibition, it is never de fended on the ground tbatthe saloon is a center of morals, an educational icstilution, a social asset or even an econo mic udvantnge—W J.
