The Rev. Mr. Bass Also Declares
It Improper (or a tiirl to Work j
in an Office. j
Forty young w omen of the First
Baptist Church, Last St. Louis, i
have refused to contribute to the
salary of their new pastor, the
Nev. l.ist'Ui D. Bass, because lie
said ii is not proper for girls to
work in ollices or public places
where they are brought into con
tact with men and thai the bride
should go lo the- altar unkisscd.
Mr. Llas.s also arouses the ire of
the gil ls when he said it was im
proper to wear dresses with short
sleeves. His ideas regulating the
life of girls, in which he declares
against dancing, kissing, holding
i hands, and wearing dresses with
abbreviated necks, do not lend to
smooth the ruffled temper of the
young women.
"I do not want to be under
stood as being opposed to work
ing girls," the clergyman said,
i "What I say is that girls should
: not work unless it is absolutely
! necessary to help support the fam
; ily. If they have to work they
! should be careful where they ac
j cept employment.
"A girl is not justified in work
ing in any office or public place
until she has gone the limit in try
' ing to get work in a household. It
, is dangerous for a girl to go into a
man's office and accept his money,
even if she works for it. By constant
association with a man or men in an
office a girl loses a something that
she can never put back. It is the
; constant suggestion she gets there
; that weakens her character and
her ideas of men, and like a con
stant dripping it wears away her
guard until she finally" goes down
under it."
Mr. Bass contends that anything
beyond a handshake is too close
for association, and refers to a kiss
; as an electric explosion.
"Beware of a kisser," he says;
"he should be treated as a villian.
Kisses are unpardonable under
! any circumstances before marriage."

The late Washington Duke, pio
neer of the industry which later
developed into the America To
bacco Company, was once asked
for a recipe for being successful in
business. He replied : "Find out
what the people want, and then
give it them good and plenty."
Andrew Carnegie at the Gcneses
Society dinner in this city recently
told the people that the way to get
on in the world was to get to work
a little earlier and swy a little later
than the other fellow. There is ;
much wisdom in this, although the
unionists views differ somewhat
from Mr. Carnegie's. Many a
boy, as well as many a man, has
missed the critical opportunity of
his life by being altogether too
careful to gel away five minutes
before the end of his day's work,
rather than to stay five minutes
later. Wall Street Journal.
When a man admits that he has
made a fool of himself he can't un
derstand why the rest of the world
doesn't share his astonishment.

The day of judgment lies at the in your heart, trying hard to mur
root of all Scripture. Were there mur, in all sincerity and truth,
Between the little Here and larger Yonder
There is a realm (or so one day I read)
Where faithful spirits, love enchanted, may wander
Till some remembering soul from earth has fled;
Then, reunited, they go fortlafar,
From sphere to spere, where wondrous angels are.
Not many spirits in that realm are waiting;
Not many pause upon its shores to rest;
For only love, intense and unabating,
Can hold them from the longer, higher quest;
And after grief has wept itself to sleep
Few hearts on earth their vital memories keep.
Shall I pass on across the mystic border?
Will thy love link me to ttfat pallid land ?
I would not seek the heavens of finer order
Until thy bark hath left the coarser strand.
How desolate such journeyings would be,
Though straight to Him, if taken without thee !
Wert thou first called (dear God, how could I bear it !)
I should enchain thee with my love, I know.
Not brave enough am I to free thy spirit
From all these tender lies, and bid thee go.
Nor would a soul, unselfish as thine own,
Forget so soon and speed to heaven alone.
On earth we find no joy in ways diverging;
How could we find it in the worlds unseen ?
I know old memories in my bosom surging
Would keep thee wailing in that Land Between,
Until, together, side by side, we trod
A path of stars in our great search for God.
no judgment, there were no need
of holiness, no need ot an Inter
cessor, noticed of a Siviour, no
need of a Sanctifier. A'en might
live like devils and die like brutes.
Therefore to the certainty of
this event the Bible beats its testi
mony in every age and in almost
every book. Of this E loch, the
seventh from Adam, pnphesied;
this Abraham believed; this Job
foresaw; this Moses taught; of this
David sang; on this Solo non rea
soned; to this Samuel and all the
prophets after him referred, with
more or less minuteness of detail.
To crown it all, the L ird Jesus

known all thai He thoug it good to

John closes the Apocalypse with a
description of thai Day which can
only be surpassed by tin reality.
Then let us pray that we may
keep the remcnibram e of that
great judgment steadily before us,
and obtain grace to prepare for it.
For "if the righteous scarcely be
saved, where shall the ungodly
and sinner appear ?"
Some of these days we are go
ing to meet up with a defeated can
