T. Weaver. 0> 4 * Text found Rev. 2 eliap, 9 verse. down John was in the act of falling at V angel’s feet for the tvaeposeof wor " *g him, but the angel said : “See r d ., not.” He knew that it w.»s v. .V John to give him the homage v,.- due alone to God. To worship anything except the true God is idolatry, and idolatry is abominable in the sight of God. The praises of me * th.. are frequently heard, are very far f o.u being pleasing to our Creator. Parents not un frequently lead their children astray by pointing out some distinguished exam¬ ple among, men and encouraging the young to fashion their lives after such brilliant models. The pride of the Amer¬ ican mother is to instill into the mind of her sou a love for the heroes ot the revo lution. Washington is regarded by ev¬ ery patriot as the one man worthy of all praise and all honor. No one would detract for a moment of the glory that belongs to the fath¬ of his country. Love and honor him our common countryman, but no wor¬ is acceptable that man may give to men. The apostles are frequently cited as moral heroes. That is all true, bat they are not to be worshipped for heroism. * • Paul and Barnabas repudiated the wor¬ that the high priest of Jupiter at Lystra was ebout to bestow upon them. They rebuked the people, aud said: "Tumirom these vanities unto the liv¬ ing Goth ” The Almighty is sorely vex¬ ed when he sees the people running af¬ ter the creature instead of the Creator.. * i • t Nor is it light to worship the angtls nor departed spirits. Tho Catholic blind¬ ly bows to the virgin Mary, aud be seeches her to intercede with her son for his relief. To worsliip the virgin is as true idolatry as the Roman meijhod of wor¬ shipping the deified spirits of the depart deaL Mary was the mother "of Jesus, but further than this she was no better than other women. Our mothers and and wives are fully equal to the virgin Mary so far as their power to with Christ is concerned. 1'l.e chief m.'uts of the Roman Catholic aro i^n ranee and Hip. £ tition, two of the most deadly weights that be hung about the soul.

God help our young men to reform. Be more manly than to go dowfi to your graves, worshippers at such a shrine. * t,V «* John might liave asked how shall we worship God ? By praying to Him di¬ rectly through Christ God, outside of Christ, cannot be approached, w|ie* wc draw near Him in prayer we must do so by going through Christ Lastly we must worship Him with our money. O! this is the rub, to lead people to feel and soe that they are to praise God by giving of their substance for the support of the Lord's cause. People have so little faith that they arg afraid to give. It ie deny¬ ing themselves ope of the sweetest joys of salvation. Itfis the same as saying to the £.ord, “I do not believe yon,” when you say tlrnt “the Lord loves a cheerful giv¬ er.” Swing out on the arms of faith, and heed not the doubts of unbelief. Does any man suppose that he can im¬ press the people with the sincerity of his profession so long as he witholds from the needs of the cause his financial aid? The w riter hiia never had in all his ex¬ perience, had a dozen Christians to come up voluntarily, and offer a contribution to the Lord. They wait io be persuad¬ ed, begged and teased into giving. What a sad truth that not one in a thousand will propose to worship God by givjnj. Some are great hands to pray long pray¬ ers, and my-snkes alive, what long-mind¬ ed fellows they are; what loud amens; you can near them all over the house, say amen ! uutil the shingles will almost shake, but ask them for a few dollars to help some poor widow and her little or¬ phans, and you do not got a single Cent. “Yes, the preachers are always talking about money.” So say the selfish Chris¬ tians. The reason why they say so much about it is, because it is among the very best tests of Christian activity. world A he man cau not convince the that is in earnest unless he worships with his money. Consecrate a part of your means to the service of God. May the. Lord help us all to render unto Him His rights of pniiso by submitting in the way above described. Jug Handle T.iW Practice.

Occult Aid far Novelists. Boston, March 22 .—The latest de¬ velopments of that beneficence known as the “m ; .nd cure,” is in the way of intellectual rather than physienLpid. The woman who de¬ sires to produce a novel simply en ga^es^a mind curer lo treat her for writing. This is 4 different proc¬ ess than to treat her for a head¬ ache, for Instance. It implies the highest older of metaphysical heal¬ ers—ono who is on the intellectual rather than the n?jit£nal plane. The healer simply “sees" the realm of ideas, and silently assures her pa¬ tient that she is living in a tvorld of thought, und harmonizes her so as to bo receptive to it. One iustanco of this occult aid to a writer is rather a notable one. The author was ill and felt arid said * , • ; * she should never never be able lo achieve any thing again. Sho was persuaded to call to her aid one of the most remarkable metaphysical healers of the day. She bus written two or three books and has affinN tie® with literature in the literary life.’ The authqr to whom I refer— , whtse recent phenemenal success has given her last work a world¬ wide fame—summoned the ho-Jer, who for two weeks “treated hqr for a novel.’ The result was—the nov¬ el. The occurrence is so interest¬ ing, as a bit of physic phenomena, and is so entirely authentic,.that it seems almost too bad to to “spoil a story for relation's sake,”and not give the name of the author, but I should not feel at liberty to do so Inter writhoat Ocean. her permission.-^Chtcago " Bird s | r *V ‘ . *.

Ostrich Farming in California. \ pluck at tho Kenilworth os* trieh.farm having been announced for Monday. Feb. ll, a party of visitors took the train from Los Angeles for tho scene of this unfa* miliar,harvesting. l^Tho “ostrich farm, which is situated ithqiH ffoVfcli miles northeast of Los Angeles, oc¬ cupies a very pretty valley at one the foot, of ono of the coast ranges, not far from the, Bui.brink station on the Southern rnilroaJ. Tho ostriches aro confined in a humber of large corrals, in which the birds have ireo rooij) to run about, scoop out their primitive nests and mnko themselves gener¬ ally quite at home’. Four of lh£?e corrals are occupied by pfiirs ifljf lull grown imported birds, at tho pres¬ ent In time occupied in laying eggs. other corrals are ybtthg . birds, natives of California, that appear to be quito as hfeiiltKy and promise to be as fino as their African parents. Plucking the birds is by no means a light undertaking, Tho one thing which makes ostriches manageable at all is that they can not either fly or leap, or if they can they arc not aware of their powers. Hence, an ordinary post and rail fence fivo feet high is sufficient to confine bird 3 standing perhaps sev¬ en feet high, even when making the most desperate efforts to escape from tho hands 6 f their spoilers. But if they cannot fly, they can run and kick, and a kick from ono of their great strong legs is an expe¬ rience which nobody cares to try. Thus in catching them it is neces* sary carefully to avoid tbs°y getting in front of them, for. can only kick straight fbrward. When plucking is to begin three men enter tbo corral and approach tho birds. They try to get the one they wish to catch up in a corner, but as soon as the bird soes that his host chance to escapo licri in the open, ho races first down one “side the corral, then up the othor, maks ing it appear an almost hopeless His task to try and catch him. strides nro enormous, but his great feet and the muscles of his thighs aro so strong that ho comes along with a strangely easy, springy gait in which very littio is seen of the foolish awkwardness which is the firtt characteristic to striko stran¬ gers w hen they see 4 he bird at rest. Alter several quite vtiin attempts to reach tho bird as ho runs past, tho quickest of the men throws him self upon one of the huge wings, and tho first time, perhaps, finds himself spra«ii»*'* burden, carries oyi-fev*.tons eight six inch and two three and a half inch rifles and four machine guns, with torpedo outfit, and uses a forced draft which engineers hero think contributed largely to the es cape of tbo English war vessel Cal¬ liope, as it enabled her to get up steam in a short timo ------- m «n^- ^eans. - The Skins of An able chemist and sanitarian, M. D., Manwaring. who has made the subject of human foods a spe¬ cial stud}*, says of beans that they “are usually difficult to digest,‘^but so important, q food that they can hardly be dispensed with, The outer coat or skin is the mischief maker and should bo removed, for the same reason that wo peel a po> tato. To do this, previous to. bak¬ ing, after soaking the beans as us* ual over night or longer, rub them between|tho hands. A less troule* sopne plan is to boil the beans, in* stead of baking them and rub them through a colander. Beans should be cooked at least eight hours, and preferably longer.”—Ex. - — 1 - The Buffalo Strikes. Buffalo, N.
