New York. Aug. 24.—Timothy M.
Healy, member of parliament from
Ireland, who has just arrived hare,
speaking of an era of hope and pros
perity for Ireland, said:
“The old mud eabln of yore Is grad
ually being done away with and tho
sanitary condltoln throughout the Is
land has enormously Improved.”
Continuing, he said: “Since the old
grand juries, the so-called old quarter
sessions bench has been done away
with and county councils established
In their stead. These popularly elected
bodies have started buildings for labor
ers, giving them a good water supply,
suppressing bad fever conditions, look
ing after th. roads and In other re
spects adding greatly to the Improve
ment of the people's condlton.
“Of course local taxes have Increas
ed, but in view of the betterment of the
lot of the people this la not demurred
to as much as might be expected.
“Ofnclallsm, too, has been checked
to a great extent and the people have
gotten a larger measure of power Into
their own hands. They are now In
clined more to look on the bright side
of things.
"The Geatlc League has revived old
Irish dances, songs, music and sports
and the prlesta, too, have largely
thrown themselves Into this side of
life.
“Some have taken great advantage
of the new agricultural department
founded by the Tory party under Sir
Horace Plunkett.”
7HE RICH YOUNG RULER
MATT. 10s 2-16.
By DR. GEORGE A. BEATTIE.
Golden Text. If any Man will como
unto Me, let him deny himself, take up
his cross and follow Me. MATT. 15:24.
The Incident In this lesion occurred
near the close of Christ's ministry on
earth, while on His way to Jerusalem.
He had been preaching In a house, anil
and while there mothers had brought
their children that He might bless
them.
As He Went forth Into the way, a
young man came running to Him, and
falling at His feet, asked Him, “What
shall I do that I may Inherit eternal
Ilfs?” This young man was In earnest,
as was Indicated In the manner of his
coming running; he was reverent, as
was manifested by his addressing Him
as "Good Master." and his aupllant
posture; he was a morn! young man,
having kept all the commandments that
relate to our duties to our fellow-men;
he was courageous, for he was rich and
a ruler, and not many of his class and
position became the followers of the
owty Nasarene. He did not come like
Nlrodrmus, under the cover of the
night, but In the day time, and on the
public highway.
We have every reason to believe that
he was sincere, by the important query
on his lips. He was amiable, possessed
of such a disposition and character thkt
as the Snvtor looked on him He loved
him.
Lacked One Thing.
And yet, with all these good traits,
the Lord tells him there was one thing
he lacked—that he must sell all he
had and give to the poor; come unto
Him and be His follower.
Was not that a severe teat? Put your
self In the young man's place. How
would you feel to be called on to give
away all the earnings of a lifetime, or
part with an ancestral estate, leave a
plcnsan' home, the society of dear
frlendi. reputation, rank and riches,
and follow the fortunes of a man who
was ostracised by the recognised best
soclnty, and t.o poor that He had no
place where He might lay His head?
How ninny of us could stand such a
test us that? What object could Christ
hay i In laying such a heavy burden on
the back of this youth? What, but his
real geod?
I: tvas not to break his back, but his
pride; not :i repel, but attract him: not
to quench the flaming flax, but to fan It
Into a flame; to convince him he was not
what he seemed to others or himself;
but as far as genuine faith and piety
were concerned, there was one thing he
lacked.
The lari' of one thing may spoil
evctylhlpg else. A watch without a
mainspring Is worthless as a chronom
eter. A sun-dlal without Its gnomen.
as It Is called, Time’s Iron Anger that
throws Its shadow on the circling hours
Ir of as much use In the darkest night
In the brightest sunshine. A ship
may he built of the strongest oak, with
masts of the stoutest pine, manned by
the best officers and crew, amply sup-,
piled with lifeboats, but you would not
risk your life on her to cross the ocean.
If alio lacked one thing—the mariner’s
compass.
Ho It Is with true piety and living
faith. One thing wanting, the greatest
works, the costliest sacrifices, and the
niost moral .life, are of no value In the
sight of God.
It may Iw the lowest piety, but one
degree above *ero:Jt may be the love
of smoking flax: the hope of a bruised
reed; Ihe faith of a mustard seed: but

A Man May Be Interested In 8alvation
and Not Be Saved.
In some way this man had been
awakened, had been made to feel that
with all hla possessions there was one
thing he lacked; with all he had done,
there was something for him to do to
secure eternRl life; he repairs to the
fountain head, seeking It In Christ, yet
a stranger to the grace of God. The
curtain falls on him with his face
turned to the world and his back on
Christ. He gave more apparent evi
dence of being saved than many who
repnlr to the Lord’s table, and bear an
excellent character In the church. Look
at Ills earnestness. He did not wait
for a more convenient season, he came
running to Christ. Look at his humili
ty. A noble by birth, a ruler by office,
a man of his position and great wealth,
he kneels at the feet of One who was
horn In a stable, and never had an
earthly home, arid who wqs buried In a
borrowed sepulcher. Though possessed
with everything the world could afford,
more than enough to supply all his
wants, he felt a void within that the
world could never All.
No wonder that the disciples, when
they saw such a man turn his hack on
Christ, and heard our Lord say It was
easier for a camel to pass through a
needle’s eye than a rich man to enter
the kingdom of heaven, were astonished
and naked: “Who then can be saved?"
Not a Universal Teat.
\Ve must not understand that all who
como to Christ and would be His fol
lowers must sell all their gooda and
give to the poor. Christ looked Inti
this young man’s heart and saw what
was the great obstacle In hla way, the
one thing that was holding him back.
Hla words were a warning not against
acquiring riches, but trusting In riches.
Money Is not the root of all evil, but
the love of money. There Is nothing
wrong In making money, If made hon
estly and legitimately. It Is a good
thing If kept In 111 place. Its place
should be In our open hands and nnt
our hearts. It Is a good servant, but a
bad master.
Some of the best Christian men are
rich, men who realise their relation to
God as stewards, and also their obliga
tion to their fellow-men, but It Is hard
for a man whose sole aim In lit* Is to
acquire riches to live a Christian life.
The heart Is weaned away from things
spiritual and wedded to. material
things. Then there are all the tempta
tions that are concomitant with wealth.
There Is no warning In the Bible that
needs to be held up and heeded more
In this age of commercialism than the.
one In this lesson.
This Is a busy, bustling, hurrying,
hustling age In which we live.
The world seems a vast arena, tilled
with runners In the race for riches.
They are so Intent In finding gold In
the sordid soil of earth they can not
look up to' see the crown sparkling
with gems of redemption.
How men work and worry under the
spur and whip of this monster passion,
turning a deaf ear to every holy and
Humane appeal for help, practicing all
the trlcka of trade, oftan denying them
selves the comforts of life, that they

the officer. “Is this a sleeping beauty

"Why, that's easy,” said the produce
man w ho had Just arrived on the scene.
"That wagon's loaded with Bermuda

to go down cellar and woke up every
nigger down there once every half
hour. 1 heard once of a schooner sail
ing Into New Orleans loaded with on
ions, and every man on her from cap-
In to cabin boy wae fast asleep."
By this time the driver had been
nwakened. He straightened up grum-
lillngly and drove on. The officer
atched him a moment.
"Gee.” he yawned, stretching his
arms and looking about for n cool
alley and a dry goods box, ”1 could

We May Be Amiable Without Being
Religious.
Having grace may be found w-here
there Is sad want of natural graces. As
som-i one has said, "Grace can live
whfe we could not."
But on the other hand, these natural
gnu is, as they arc called, have adorned
many who were strangers to the grace
of God. We often mistake ona for the
other. We may be possessed of much

Turqlng hla back on Christ, refusing
Hla personal Invitation to become His
follower, going away sorrowful, this
young man warns us that the sweetest,
kindest, gentlest, may lack the one
thing needful. However lovely and
loving and loved you mny be, and de
serve to be, except you are born again
you can not see the klngdory of God.
A Man May Livs a Moral Life With

A man ran not he a Christian without

he may lie a moral man without being

lence. Thtre was no flint In his com
position. no dynamite In hla nature.
Having the honor of a holy office to
sustain, no wonder he was not addicted
to the grosser sins.
For what he was he may have had
no reason to boast. Ills parentage, his
education, his trn'-ritig, his surround
ings. may have U' - e him whnt he was.
He did nnt know the spiritual nature of
God's law, how there may be adultery
In a look, theft In a desire and murder
In the heart. . ... . . .
He had nothing of godliness but a
form of religion, an empty shell. With
affections *sn amiable and life so fair
as ever won the esteem of mankind,
yet he lacked the one thing needful.
