hardineai for one to attempt to .stand
in the midst of a streamr where the
corrents of sarcasm, Satire, inveb i?e
and ridicule seem to harry all before
it, and je with a sincere cyftvic
tion that emboldens speech, we de
clare it as oar faith that the Great
Disposer of events is nhfoldio

Spain and our war now continuing

Chimerical as the view may' seem

ordained of God . " "The King's
heart is in the hand of the Lord, as
the rivers of water : he turneth' it

Unfinished Wor.
An unfinished struotoTe of any kind
is always suggestive and often pain
ful to look upon.
i We never piss a house that has
remained unfinished for any length
of time without thinking tbat somes
thing unusual must have occurred
after the building was begun .
'; It is a great satisfaction to lock
upon anything tbat we have under
taken and say that it is finished.
Habit has a great deal to do with
thoroaghness. In like manner the
disposition to complete one thing
before beginning another is largely
due to babit.
The pupil who drops out of ecnbbl
before he has finished the course
can ne?er retrieve the loss. When
ever he reverts to his school ' days
he sees there an unfinished work that
is net pleasant to contemplate.
He not only misses the knowledge
and discipline that come from pur
suing; the studies, but he starts out
in life by leaving a work not finished
and, rounded up as it should be. I
Circumstances may sometimes be
such that it is not possible to con
tinue to the end of the course. But
for the most part when pupils drop
out it is for lack of perseverance
and determination.
No matter if a child is not intend"
ing to enter college . or study for a
profession, he can not well afford to
leave school till the last lesson of
the required course has been recited.

IT IS EAST TO EBB.
AS an illustration of how easily
we! grow up in habits without sus
pecting error and, by continuing
teach them' to others and they still
to otherp, just think of how often
yoti have heard people reading the
twenty first chapter of St. Matthew's
Gospel and the first verse a word
sounding as if written Bethpage.
Yes, ;about nine out of ten will say
Bethpage :. and we suppose that
pronunciation: has given rise to the
namesjof a numbet of churches over
tb i country ejpelled Bethpage f The
name of that village hear Jerusalem,
hdwever, is spelled' Bethpnage and
by all arthoepists .that .we; have con

with the accent on the s rt sy liable.

The Time For Synod Yet Undecided..
On account of the; repairs being
made on the Lutberaa churbh in
Salisbury, it was some time ago de
cided that the LutheranSynod be not
held on the 4th day of May, which
date was fixed at the adjournment of
the last sessionv but that it be held
on the 25th of May. This date was
found to conflict' with the com
mencement of the college at Mt.
Pleasant, and so the date was again
changed . This date conflicts, how
ever, with the commencement of
E I i z beth college an d so another has
been agitated which is the 4th of
May. the time which was first fixed.
The petition to the effect was started
Wednesday at Mt. Pleasant, and the
required number of petitioners ones
fifth has been secured.
GOOD BOOKS FOR YOU. -

aTery nice linevof bbdks' ih the ve8i
tibule of the Presbyterian church.
While Mr. Coit is' Presbyterian he
has a general variety of books by
authors in the various churches
suitable for home and Sunday school
libraries. He will be pleased to
have you call. He will probably be
with us some two weeks. -
In almost every neighborhood there
is some one whose life has been saved
by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, or who has . been
cured of chronic diarrhoea. by the use
of that medicine. ; Such persons make
a point of telling of it whenever ; opporf
tunity offers, hoping that it may be the
means of saying other lres. 1 For , sale
