Of course we want to make the most of life. All do. None is worthy the name of man who does not. How then is it to be done? Until we find a better way, let us ponder deep by our Master's way: "He that looseth his life for my sake shall find it." (Matt x, 39). What kind of life do you think he would find who lost it for Jesus' sake? Ask Robert Moffot, who gave his life to evangelize degraded natives of South America. Ask him after his fifty years of toil as he electrifies the people of the home land with pen and tongue. Ask him if the life he found in Jesus repaid him for the horrors and sufferings, the squalor and the filth. His answer is the clarion call to the young men of Scotland to follow in his steps, for, said he, "What is there on earth worth living for except Christ and his kingdom?" Ask Zinzendorf, who wrote: "I would rather be dispised and hated for the sake of Jesus Christ than to be loved for my own sake. I have but one passion, and that is He, He!" Ask Duff, who was twice ship wrecked going to India, and was finally tossed like seaweed upon her shores. Ask William Carey, forty years a missionary to India, who wrote: "I never yet repented of any sacrifice which I have made for the gospel, but find that consolation which comes from God alone. I have God. God's cause will triumph. I am not my own, nor would I choose for myself. CHEAP PROPERTY For SALE.

Ask these men, and, like one of old, they will reply each man for himself: "For me to live is Christ;" or they will say to you in those words of David Brainard: "I declare, now that I am dying, I would not have spent my life .otherwise for the whole world." And did you ever hear of a man who lived only to get things who could say as he iooked over his years and forward to eter nity and the judgment: "I would not have spent my life otherwise for the whole world?" To know God and to do His will, to accept gratefully what he sends us, and to do faithfully what he bids us; to pray as we would talk with a friend, to trust where we can not un derstand, and to believe him kind even in things that hurt; to keep un spotted from the world's sin and un selfish toward the world's needs; to love those whom we can not like, and to ,hate no one; to keep the gold of silence where we can not give the pearls of praise; to be true when others are false; brave in the midst of cowardice; kind inyreturn for in juries; to pity our enemies, enjoy our friends and serve our Heavenly Father above by helping His earthly children below-in fact, to be like Christ in love and life. That is Christianity, and the ideal to which the Book of books ever leads us. From Woman's Missionary Advocate. At our meeting this (Saturday) afternoon, at the Methodist church, Miss Helen Johnson, our returned missionary, will talk to the ladies about Brazil, and then to-morrow, at the usual 11 o'clock service, we will again be honored by a public talk on the work. She has a collection of things Barzilian, which will interest all who will attend. Come out to the meetings, both Saturday and Sunday, and we are sure you will not regret the time spent. HARRY K. THAW ACQUITTED. Murderer Of Stanford White Is Declared Not Responsible.-Conflned to Insane Asylum. Harry Thaw, the murderer of Stan ford White in New York, walked from The Tombs to an Insane Asylum. The second jury in his case last Saturday rendered a verdict of not guilty on account of insanity, and Judge Downing immediately ordered the confinement of the prisoner in an insane asylum. The verdict was satisfactory to the State and defense, and the friends of Thaw freely predict that the young Pittsburger will ultimately be given his liberty. Thus ends the celebrated case White dead, Thaw in an insane asylum. DR. J. B. HARVEY DENTIST General Dental Practice.
