A Kind Word. A kind word costs but little, but it may bless ail day tne one to whom it is spoken. Nay, have not kind words been spoken to you which have lived in your heart through yoears, and borne fruit of joy and hope ? Let us speak kindly to one arother. We have burdens and worries, but let utf not therefore rasp and irritate those near us, those we love, those Christ would have us to save. Speak kindly in the morning; it lightens the cares of the day, and makes the house hold and all its affairs move along smoothly. Speak kindly at night, for it may be before dawn some loved one may finish his or her space of life for this world, and it will be too late to ask forgiveness.—The Sunlight. While almost every thing on earth seems to have changed and improved during the last twenty years, one has only to journey a few miles, by an ordinary passenger coach, to discover that the demeanor of the average trav eler is just the same as when his fa ther took his first ride. Every man or woman wants to occupy a whole seat. Every man or woman wants the window' up. Every man puts his head out when the whistle blows for a highway crossing. If the train stops for over two minutes everybody wonders what is the matter, and if the speed is twenty miles an hour the man with a stop-watch in heard call ing out that the last mile was made in exactly a minute. Everybody car ries his umbrella and luncheon, as in days of yore, and the train-boy sells just as many peanuts as he did dur ing the reckless and extravagant days of the war. A wonderful invention for prevent ing collisions on railroads has been tested and proven successful on the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad. It consists of an electric circuit formed by a Brush contact underneath the engine, with an iron rod laid between the rails and through the metal and driving-wheels of the engine. En gineers of trains coming in the same or opposite directions are notified by electric bells when the trains are within a mile of each oilier. By means of the same invention the en gineers can hold telephonic commun ication with each other. This inven tion will he hailed with speciul de light by the train dispatcher, whose slightest mistake is liable to cause a frightful destnction of life and ]>rop erty. It, has become a feature of a visit to Palestine by ministers of the gospel, the baptism of someone in the Jor dan. There seems to be no lack of candidates. It makes but little dif ference whether the visitor is a Bap tist or Rantist at home—he wants to baptize someone when, he gets to the Jordan. No one seems to care to sprinkle there. And the candi d-ite is forth coming at the right mo ment. Just how it all comes about we are at a loss to understand; but the number of subjects and adminis trators seem constantly to increase. We have much doubt about the bus iness. Christian life in our day is full of activity. It finds pleasure in planning, giving, and working for the growth of Christ’s kingdom. The spirit of consecration gives joy to all Chris tians who recognize it, and inspires confident hopes in the aggressive movements of the church. But it conceals also a great peril. All Christian power springs from com munion with God and from the in dwelling of Divine grace. One can do good to others only as his own heart pulsates with love to Jesus, and has a present experience of his love. We can impart only what we receive. Any spring will nut dry unless fed from unfailing springs. Any Chris tian labor will he fruitless, and Chris tian zeal will lie like sounding brass, unless the soul waits daily upon God, and finds new strenth in prayer and in the study of the Bible. It has been wisely and truly said that prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament. Adversity the bles sing of the new. This declaration finds its basis in the New Testament: “Whom the Lord loveth ho cbasten eth.” The influence of this principle will tend to check the eagerness of! our pursuit of earthly good, and j strengthen us under the heavy load of I adversity and sorrow.
