The primary and supreme reason w liy he should do so, is that it is the dut.v of all people to meet to- gether in the house of !od. to publicly ivorthin the Supreme Hems. This is the highest motive that can iullnence a human J up to the summit, except as lie may be un iting. The ilesiie to hear a tine, scholarly ' favorably affected by accident and initfor semion is the fruit of an inferior motive ' tunes over which he can have no control. lossliy not an unworthy one.

The great themes which occupy the public mind and which are often of supreme interest are discussed from the pulpit as well as from the platform, and intelligently, and from the standpoint of public interest- I he pul pit is the friend of the people. All must in a great admit that. And the pulpit i measure, free, iintramiueled, aud in a posi - tion to present the moral aspects of all ness in the public Interest: (. c., they were issues. Labor problems have had I good citizens. They therefore earned piib their most practical and helpful J lie confidence, esteem, and a generous cus treatment from the pulpit The doctrines toin from their fellow-citizens. That is to of the Carpenter's Sou. himself a laboring man. as expounded by Himself and Peter and Paul, actual toilers, are especially adapted to the solution of pending industrial problems -and the principle of the Oolden Hide is the basal principle involved. When labor and capital will stand upon common ground, each resolved to treat the other fairly and honestly, and when the two interests agree in an effort to promote common and public interests, then we shall have no more labor troubles no oppressive bulldozing or rob bing of employes no unfair advantages taken of employers nothing but mutual efforts to promote the common and the pub lic welfare. Then there are other pending problems tome of them ablaze with significance and lowing xvith supreme importance prob lems in the solution of which every citizen. and every human lieing as well, is person allv interested, which are seldom discussed pulpit. These duty aud privilege: they relate to the life and conduct of the individual. not only as it atiects ins own well-neing or nop: ior me future, but as it has a bearing on the gen eral welfare, on the iieace, goml order and prosjierity of the community. What ever we may thniK ot tne religious doctrines of the preacher of the Gospel, we must admit that pulpit work and church work have a wholesome iiiiluenceon society on the masses of the people. The pulpit and the church greatly restrict the deadly influences of the open whisky saloon, the gambling den and the house of prostitution. They constitute sieiet's only fortress against these terrible s-ial evils, which are destroying somauy men young and old and wrecking so many innocent and de fenseless families. Then, it must be conceded to be a fact that the habitual church-goer is a good citi zen. The mere droppings of the sanctuary have a cleansing tendency: they make men decent and orderly, and have a tendency to supplant the power ot the breathing places of hell over them. What then, are the iu llunces of the church and Minday school uimn the young.' As a matter of fact, and not of sentiment. or religious belief '.' It is very seldom tliat Pie Sabbath School scholar tinds his way to the court of the mayor or the magistrate. It is only when boys have become in their own opinion too old or too smart to receive moral or religious instruction and begin to loaf about street corners on nights and Sundays, that they get into the patrol wagon and are hustled off to the station house. Children and young people are more impressible than their eldars: they present to their mural teacher a v irgiu soli: they give him the lirst chance to impress them and to take po-.seston of them in the name of truth, virtue and religion ! Then, by all meant, lake the children to chinch ' .Attendance at church promotes intelli gence: stimulates the intellect: affords a reasonable ant! wholesome kind ot literary entertainment, and refines and elevates as well as reforms the heart and life.

Younjt men are con tinually saying tint, if tliej had capital, they would do lari'e things in trade. Capi tal i a good thing, in the right place in the hands of person vvhn know how to use It. But it is not a requisite. Some of the greatest business institutions in the country were started without a iiionej ua,jN ari 1!lu. be,.,, brought into great pro- Nlrtions ttiih only the money capital that The best kinds of capital are good sense, a determined spirit, courage, iersisteiic. a wise economizing of means, nn acquired familiarity with the details of business, a facilitv for close buying, a gift or talent for selling, facllitj and force lu collecting, and a capacitv to make a btisinest a popu lar and useful public feature. Men who have qualities like these, or who set almut acquiring them, will get on in the world, whether thej have money to begin with, or not. If the) haven't it, they will cam it and get it. These qualities are within the reach of all persons nf ordinary tense and capacity. Anj voiing man can cultivate his nerve, he can Tsist in pursuing the In-st methods known in his vocation: he can be in, mori ons anil economical: he can acquaint him self with true bitMiios methods; he can pay as be goes and keep out of debt: he call buy cautiously and intelligently: and he can do what he undertakes to do in a manner j which shall prove ot lieuetit to the com-j mtmity as well as to himself. The man, young or old. who alwajs does his best, ill all circumstances, is alwatt sure to work the foregoing. Who are the men who are "on top" in business or professional circles .jjrenient. in tills city? Are they men who started life j with a money capital? Not many of them.

These are the men who are continually enlarging their business and buying the buildings in which they carry on their operations, while the tricky, smart people, who try to defraud and cheat jieople with poor goods at low prices ami various dishonest devices, go to the wall, l'erhaps they pack up their goods in the night and ship them to tome other unfortunate community, or make an assignment to some man of straw or re sume the same line of biislue-s on a new basis.

It is now nearly four years perhaps quits" ance Mr. llenjamiii II. Warder authorized the then and present editor of the HKrrm.ic to announc donate S.IO.ouO to the city, to be used for the construction of a public library build ing, whenever the citizens of Springfield should select a suitable site. At that time Mr. Warder made it a condition that the site should be central, so that the structure could haw several business rooms, the rent of which could lie used to meet the current expenses of the institution. It would have paid our citizens well to have complied with the provisions prompt ly, at the time alluded to. even If they had lieen forced to raise Si'i.OOO or SSO.OOO. Now. however, we understand. In an in direct way, that all that is required is that a suitable site may lie obtained for a rea sonable sum f. r. -at its actual cash value, and that it will not lie required that the structure shall contain business rooms. The present purpose of Mr. Warder is, as vv e understand, to erect a building for the nse of the public library' and for no other purpose, but to so construct it that it shall be in all respects adapted to its purpose to make it. in a phrase a model library building. Hut it must lie central, as a mat ter of course, and it must lie on a street conicr, so that the institution can have ample light. We infer that Mr. Warder is willing to buy the site and erect the build ing at his own cost, but we are very sure that he will not pay an exorbitant or fancy price, to enrich some real estate agent or other enterprisiilg individual. This would be a good time for certain and several public-spirited citizens to take in hand a movement to select and secure a suitable site that would !e acceptable to Mr. Wanler. ami to organize a subscription either to be used for its purchase outright. or for the cutting down of its cost, so that Mr. Warder would need to expend but a! reasonable sum for Its purchase, Mr.Ilrain.in hi, "Hambler's" notes, In ! toda"s paper, has made a statement ot the prestiug needs of the library, which is I growing out of its present accouimodationt, ! which are quite unsuitable and inconvenient. in many respects.

We are glad to hear that Mrs. James Hrown Potter has a permanent engagement as an actress in London. We should be better pleased if it were in Patagonia, but we are quite well pleased as it is.
