Howard" Ütc-s Kxtrarts from One- Thnt Has liecently Attracted Iii Attention. Deab H. L. C. Memkeüs As the enmtnittee on methods of work has not as yet arrived at any definite concH-.ion, and while we are waiting I want to stirt the ball to roiling in the discussion of books. One of the chief objects of the club is to encourage and circulate pure literature, and I know of no better way to do this than give you some Me.t of a book by a brief review or extracts from it, and then assist you bo far as may be neceaary in procuring it. Since the time of arranin oar II. L. C. catalozus I have secured a faw reif publications for myself which might be of interest to other The hook I -wish to sneak of now, God'a linage in Man," by Henry Wood, is one I have rea l with much interest. "While there is probably no author with whom we would iuliy agree in all points, yet' I think this book contain eo much that in both practical and beneficial. I will give a few extracts. In the preface the author says: If it were proposed in this volume to disease historic or scholastic tueology. or to enter the field of dotuatio or 1enoLuir:anoia: speculation, no apo gy would be ample enough for the appearance of these s.mpie lay studies. Coming as they do, from a nun-profes:cnal and thoroughly independent standpoint, ti.ey are c oihed with no external authority. They are glimpses through the vision of tee intuitive frejlty; interpretations of the inner conscioumess. rather than Inteileetual or argatnentive effort. They are inspired by no spirit of controversy, but are aearchers for truth for ita own sake; and their aim ia to reeogn.ze it wLerever found. Tl.ere ia no purpose other than the p ain uuinldment ot truth and the de.ineatioo of liv og realities. o attack is made upon any existing theological system, as auch, but rather an eilort in those days of eree J d.sintearation to conserve and holdup all that is intrinsic, but at the aue t me to discriminate between the real and eternal, on the one hand, and the incidental, traditional and external on the other. Trom the above it will be seen that the ork in written from an independent standpoint, and while it is religious in tone, it is rjon-eectarian and therefore recommends itself dl the more to all c!a?et. The book contains eleven chapters, viz: . Tb Natur of tiod. Kevaiatioa Through Natura. IMrret Kr-T anon. Biolical ij-:ition. Kerlat.un Tlirouh the Hon. The L ui.t.1U of Ihe Law. Ti; alidr,t7 of th Uo. Mao's Dual Nature. The 1 1 Ma IW iu. Kfolodoa as a Key. From tbi Oil to Iii Xair. In the last chapter the author starts out frith these thoughts: hither are wS drifting? There la an irresistible movement ia the realra of religious thought which any careful estimate wiI show to t of remarkable magnitude. Many ars anxiously wa:ehiug the drift, and soma are apprehensive as ia the e-eurliy of what they fel to b foun-latioo prioeiplaa. Are there substantial verities? And, if so, bow shall ws distinguish their solid outline from thoae temporal forme which ais liable to dissolve while vi gaze apon them? From this the author draws a sharp contrast between the forma atsd concept of biblical authority ia ceremonial rites and external forms the letter of the la to the conscious spiritual i luiuination or guidance by the bo. y spirit Into the recognition of the spirit of the word the spirit which quickeneth and maketb alive which brings God's image in man. the f piritoal fcslf, into a conttioas recoDition tyf the Father. Again he says: The world is rradnally making the discovery 4hat pare and noseläsh love ia the essenee ( Vital religion.

of worldly ambition, of mammon, of fleahly appetites, of the baser self anJ ot the material budr, are hurled from their pedestal, that rur clarined vision begins to discern the Eternal One. The world ia moving steadily up to a condition when the spiritual or real man will overcome ki d bold under control the seeming man. the sensuous oounterpart. For man mad as be is 'in the imtjr of God' spiritual rule ia normal, logical nnd sei-nti6c. The above extracts will eutlice to show something of the tone and depth or thtwork. The two chapters ou 'The Univeroality of Law" and "The iSoIidaritr of the Kace" are certainly worthy of careful and candid perusal. The author's aim seems to be to arrive at the truth impartially upon subjects that are awakening the thinking minds of the world as never before. Mr. Wood is attaining: considerable eminence as a modern American author by his valuable contributions of books, as also articles to some of our leading magazines, "(jod's Itnsge in Man" was issued from the press only last year, and the second edition baa been exhausted. It is also published in England. Thinking this book would interest many of you, and in order to have it among our collection. I have arranged to furnish it to members at the tai.e pricu we furnieh "Irviug'a Life of Wash ngton." (Se our II. L. C. catalogue for price). Inclose postal note ana stamp w ith your order an 1 I will take pleanre vvaitin on you. I am willing to work for the ood cf each member, and for the club iu general, giving my time and aeniMance freely, allowing the entire reduction on the Look to go to the niemLers. Our president informs me that be has filled quite a number of orders for books from our cala ol'U of late, and I hope many more w i.l avail themeelves of the opportunity to thus secure good lookand mre great y increase the interest in this rept ect. And we think it would be of fi.uch interest for members to dHcus tl e merit ot those books they have rea l, which couree cur president most heartily sanctions.

Swaim. Danville, 111. A QUIET REVOLUTION. That AcroinpIiliel by the Introduction nt All Sort of Machinery. It may be said that we are living in the life of machinery. The amount of labor done by machinery is wonderful to think about. It is revolutionizing the world, eo to speak of it. Full halt of the trades that were carried on a bait century ago lias vanished away and given employment to machinery or be ome obsolete. In those good old days of a half century ago the bricks were moulded by hand; clothing, boots, shots, hats, nails, ropes and nsarlv everything necessary for the production of a happy life wa? manufacture 1 by hand, but now the machinery is doing the work. In many instances more than the work of many thousand hands in done with machinery, to a greater neatness than hands could do. For in-tance. the cotton, which required a pair ot hands a day to clean a single pound, now, after the invention of l.li Whitney, the machinery cleans hundreds of pound per day. True, many of the old trades still exist; but it is little more than the name. The co .per who fi;ty years ajro went through with no many processes t ) produce a barrel, now buys th stave, heads and Loop already prepared bv machinery, and has nothing to do bnt to drive the n together. The shoemaker buys his pegs and nails already made by machinery, the bla kmith his iron already prepared for use by machinery, and ths'rarpenter has Utile to do compared with fifty years ago. The lumber is rawed, the siding planed, so we see he has scarcely anything to do but1 join and fit the prepared material together. Often bouaea are prepared by machinery and seit hundreds of miles by rail and set up ready to be occupied in a few hours alter it baa reached its destination. The gentleman batter has disappeared. The gentleman tailor has dropped his needle and gone to driving a machii.e. The farmer has laid the reap hook aside to drive the binder. The oid flai s have kindled the kitchen fire to make room for the threshing-machine. The cotton-pickers are lastly giving up their fields to the new invented cottonpicker, and so on to an endless extent. No one can nay that great good to the countrv at large has not come of the employment of labor-saviog machines. It may have, pat the old tradesmen to some inconvenience, but that, of coarse, could not be helped. In many instances their own conduct and outcry has canned the inventor to invent the machinerv that has taken his trade away, but sti 1 there is phnty of labor that tbey can do to keep the howling wolf from the door. Capital lets are weil aware that machinerv will not cause a strike, although it may break and give way, but it is soon replaced and everything moves on nicely. Many farmers hesitate to introduce new machinery on the farm, but nevertheless tbey lone the profit and are compelled at last to establish the new system. Therefore let us employ all labor-saving machinery we can find useful and profitable. The executive committee should decide u laon as pctiiblf oa the place lud time

of our next reunion. I believe it would be desirable by , many of the members and cause a larger attendance to meet at some anitab'e place near Chicago, where re could, after the reunion, visit the world's fair. I am glad the . committee has adopted suitab e stationery. I biiall order eome as soon as po?ib'e. A welcome hand to all new members. Happy Joe. Markleviile, Ind., Box 13S. COURAGE.

Ita Tarions Phases Dincnssed by "Hoosicr Rob" In an Interesting Manner. Deab II. L. C. Fhiexds. Of the many virtues that make tm the character of a perfect man some are more essential than courage, and the absence of this quality ia more direful in its consequences than of any other. A man without courage is like an encine without steam, lie may have all the requisites to do a great work but the power that enables him to do it is lacking. He may be active, he may be intelligent, be mav have all the other qualities of a perfect man, and if be has not courage to control and direct them they will nroßt him nothing. He will live and die and the world will be be no better for his hav ing been in it. Bat we muet not fail to distinguish between true courage and mere foolhardiness. Foolbardmess is courage uncontrolled by judgment. It rushes blindly into danger simply for the sake of opposing it. It does not stop to consider the reason for the act, but does it from impulse. A man who rushes into a burning building or leaps over a precipice w.thout consider ing the expediency of so doing may be brave or daring, but we would hardly call mm courageous, courage is sotnetmn? higher and more practical than that. A truly courageous man does not rush unthouL'htedly into danger, but he carefully considers every obstacle and every opposition, and if dnty call. he unhesitatingly follows with the determination to conquer or perish in the attempt. Another thing that distinguinhes courage from foo hardiness is that the lat ter is always seeking notoriety. The fool hardy man does not consider whether it is his duty to incur the risk, but whether it will gain him popularity among his com panions. On the other hand, courage thinks not of favor nor of honor, nor even ofee!f, but of duty and of the good and happiness of bis fellow men. Foolherdi oees seeks popularity .but courage receives it. Courage does not consist alone in oppoa ing danger, but also in bearing without murmuring that which we cannot over come. It requires more courage to bear an injury without anger than toavenptj it; and many who can fare great dangers successfully often succumb to the continued pressure of the lesser ones. Truo courage not omv enables us to encounter danger cooly and successfully, but also to bear with fortitude every advereity. It ia the source o: iearlesscesa in danger, ot patience in su ering, of f irbearance under injury and of magnanimity in victory. lut the grandest, the noblest and tha most God-like courage is the courage that sustain us in the battle that the right h Continually wnging with the wrong in our hearts. It is thia courage that enables us when the clouds of sorrow und care gather black and threatening over our skv, when . i . -v a tne ii ij.'iuy niiiows oi uespair ail ro.irsng and threatening to overwhelm u?, when the awful storms of envy and hat and malice are bellowing and rngitv around us it is this podlike courage I eav that e:nables us to tight on in hope, and lina'lv to come oil more than connuerers. It h tnia courage that enables man to etea lilv fo! low the right in ppite of the tuunU and jeers of the multitude aud the opposition oi toe whole world. 11 was tin courage that enabled the ear v Christians to bear firmly every form of torture that the ter tue minds of their Lenuish terscutorn couid device to make them renounce their religion. It is thi.s courage that makes of man a hero, a martyr, and almost a trod. And now for home personals: "Mark, why are you so long silent.' iou von ever think of Danvide? "lven W.

TWO CONCEPTIONS OF CHRIST. As Spt Forth Kerentljr In a Ilcoure l the Iter. J. II. A alters. To the Memfeu of tue II. L. C. At the solicitation of President Straw n I submit the following extract from a sermon; text: Matt, xvi, 18. We must trust Christas our foundation. We muet rest all upon Him. But for each one of us there are, reverently speaking, two Christa; I had better doubtlees say, two conceptions of Christ. One is the historical conception of Christ, that a 1 men have among us now-a-days, the belief in Christ as a historical personage, endowed, perhaps, with every virtue, but which conception of Him win not serve as a foundation to build upon. To build upon the rock we raut first dig down to the rock. When men would build they begin by digirinn. So when we would build our temples of God that is, our Christian characters we muet clear away earth, clay and rubbish and get down to the everlasting bed-rock, and then our temple will endure will stand when tried by fire. That this mav be done something must be done for us that we cannot do for ourselves why should we be afraid to say that a miracle must be wrought, for that is just what it amounts to? I'lainiy speaking, Christ must be' revealed to us as He does n-.l reVeal Himself to the world. We muet gain that other conception of Him not as a historical personage, but as a preeeut, living person seeing us and hearing us, touched by the feeling of our inilrmities and ever u aking intercession for us, because tie knoas our temptations; He knows our weakness and He knows our frams that it is dust. I am painful y conscious of the impossibility of making this point plain to those who are without the kingdom of God on earth. That which was beyond the understanding of Ni cod em us, the pharisee, is the eame enigma today that it was then. "The wind bloweth where it lUtetb, and thou bearest the sound thereof, but canst not ttll whence it cometh and whither it goeth ; so is every one that ia born of God." Nicodemus answered, an 1 said unto Hi u : "How cun these things be?" I declare to you, my brother, that I don't know. I only know that it is so. And glory be to His name that that mystery was nnfoided to my h-nrt a!so, though in terms unspeakable, l'raise be to His holy name that wnen I floated far out on a stormy sea and night came down, and neither iighthou.se, land nor stars were visible, and the atorm raged, and the waves beat upon my little loat, and I cried, "Save, Iord.or I periph," to me alio was vouchsafed a vision of one walking upon the waters; and became into my little boat, and I knew that it was tLe fc'cn o! Uod. And lie rebuked the

winds and waves, and there was a great calm, (j.orr to Ilia name. Thanks be to tjod for His unspeakable gift. Unhappy he who has never passed through this experience. Unhappy if we are but half-men living oniy the animal

lie. Lnhappy if the scales have never alien from our eyes, revealing to us an other morn risen on raidnoon.' The life that is lived onlv for the atfaira of this world is on a par with the life that is lived bv the flies on the window pane, or by the gossamer-weaving spider, as fleeting as ow, compared with our pocsihuities. "Other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid," which is Jesus Christ. Ai in our solar system, everv p'anet re volves around the sun, receiving heat and light from it. so every true life revolves around Christ, the center of the spiritual utii verss, and receives heat and light from Him.

"Hut wheu the heart Is t-vei wrought, Ob, hj can tell The p'p-r of sui ii tiny things To make it well?"

It is not supposed to be an immoral buf-ine8. if ea.oons and gambling dens are prohibited, yet that ia no more a reason for keeping them open than it would be for any business house to do work on the Sabbath. The thousands that may visit the world's fair should he tufide to know that the nation respects the Sabhath by closing the gates and is not responsible for the wav thos thousands spend the dav in the city. Ail should be glad of the opportunity to visit the many grand churches of Chicago ami thankfully iiten to the services.

Deau Howards To the, member who inquired if "Incoji" !ml left the page, let me Fay, "no, siree," and tl.M will save the trouble of ever asking again, I've been back here iu the corner, plying my needle and thread, very much entertained bv the rectnt discussions, especially that on spiritu&ium. I wonder what "Ivanhoe" woul 1 think if he heard a friend, in whoso truth jnd good sense he had the utmost confidence, say that the spiru of her husband frequently appeared to her when she was alone and she saw him as plainly as she ever teen him in life, and they talked of things that no one knew anythingaboutextepthemeelf. Then I heard that I was speechless, but decided in tar own mind thai other people might have experiences that I could know nothing about. "Oh." suid another friend, a widow, too, "how I wisii I could have such an experience. If my husband could only come back to me and advise ma about l'reddie! Why, it would be tiie next l.e.-it thing to having him here ali tin' time.'' "Said she: "I would giv.i anything in the world to be a -pihtuaüet, but try as I mav 1 cannot believe in it." Spiritualim,i& one of the isms that I never cared fo investigate. I never attended a seance und know very litt'e about tho principle upon which their faith is founded. I never felt the least desire to meet again in this world the spirit of anv departed Iriend. I always thought, should 1 do hü, I would feel that they were not happy or at prace. and since so many of mv family have paed out of this life I have had a feeling that the spirits of our departed ruay be uearer than we bad au idea of. Where is the dividing line between the visible and the invisible, the natural and the supernatural? And where is heaven? supposed to be the abode cf God and the a ii ire I h. We know that God is ever present everywhere, but I've never been satisfied in my own mind as to just where the spirits of the dead are. You know one sect teaches that the soul is not immortal, but that the body is resurrected, and that this earth will be heaven after it is purified by lire. I think Swedenborg gives us a beautiful idea of the hereafter. Hardly enough punishment about it to suit most orthodox, I fancy. Wonder as I may over these thinirs, I always come back to the tnought that it does not matter how they are. We cha l all know in His own good time, and I've no doubt the moat thoroughly convinced will find things different from what they expected. "Uphrates," I puzzled a little over your remark to "John's Wife" and "Incog." If your letter comes in return for bread "cast upon the waters," we are repaid if we have waited "many days." I think I recognize you. and bid you welcome. I, too, would like to know how many believe that what we think about people, either present or absent, has an etlect upon them for good or ill. We are told that for our lightest word we must give account, and are we to be held rerfponsihle for our thoughts too? If it is true that we are waved unconsciously bv other people's thoughts of in. are we free moral agents? I want to tell the members JaOout rne of my Christmas gifts.

"Little Nuisance" Opposed t- Woman Suffrage and Her Reason. Dear II. L. C. Fkiexds This is my first letter of the new year. We of east central Indiana had the pleasure of looking out. on a beautiful new white world New Ye.tr's morning. Our brown oil earth was wraped in a tiveinch blanket of wet, heavy snow, whioh aiutk to everything it sirucit and made weeping willows out cf the proud old forett trees. It turned colder during the day and froze the snow ro that the trees held their beautiful white wraps for several days. "Iven W. Firn," many thanks for your New Year's gift. Mav we all live as though today was our last, for we have not tne positive assurance of our future breath. We all know we must die, but we know not the day nor hour the death angel will call us. When I read the question, -Should Women be Allowed to Vote?" to be discussed on the page, I thought there will be so many more abler pens than mine to, give their views that I will not write ; but I can resist no longer, so here is my opinion: Simply this. women should not vote. 1 think most people know the atmosphere that surrounds the) polls. What kind of a plae would that be to take a faiui y oi small children? Would i: be right to expose their young minds to tle vice and sin of the election polls? What kind of pictures would they frame there to hang on memory's wa I? Many men who are row resectable at home and in their families wou d drop that respectability if their wives and daughters went to the polls t nd heard and saw what they tee and hear. And then again so reany men get so enthusiastic over politics t at they forget eer thing el.-e. If women, by voting, shou.d io'low their example what wou d become of heme and its surroundings. Some eay that women a tax-payers should have some voice iu law making, but cun't we trust man with the laws of our land when he trusts us with thai wbictt more thoroughly concerns his physical couitort the government of the kitchen.

She had taken the ground and first lloors and Herr Weiss paid the rent. In thene quarters scenes of the wildest debauchery took place wherein young girls were the features. The symbols of the members who took part in the:-e orgi- were 10 and 20 mark gold pieces, with one side smoothed and a fig leaf ctampel upon it. A paper closely connected with the police says that the public prosecutor issued orders that any woman found wearing these badt-a shall be at once arrested. This has put fathers, brothers and lovers on the a!eri. Many painful scenes have been the outcome of the discovered token, which in several cases has been worn as a bane'e or brooch. Wifes.tiancees and daughters are included in the victims of the satir WeieS, who, by the way, has left his apartment Amonz the incriminated in the wife of an honc-Ht artitan, who had ruined two young and pretty daughters frr her own profit The coniroutationof husband with wife and daughters when he was summoned hy the police made a scene tragio and pitiful in the extreme.

A-fii-tant Attorny General de Heirry is known along the whole Pacific coast as a lawyer and politician. His wife is thirtytwo years old, about ei:ht years younrer than her husband. Mr. de Heirry two years ago secured the services of Edward G. Mor?e as a music teacher for bin wife. Tlie wile became infatuated with the musician, hut the hubbunil uad no reason to doub her until weeks after the elopement. Through the efforts of Mr. de Heirry, with whom Morse established himself on the best of terms, the musician secured manv scholars among the wealthiest penple of Seattle. When his income had sufficiently increased Morse eent to San Francisco for his wife and daughter. Morse's child died about a year ago and Mr. de Heirry paid the expense of the little girl's illness and funeral.

Accompanied by Morse and tier daughter, ehe went to San Francisco, where they stopped at the Pacific hotel as K. G. Morse and wife. While there Moree got her monev and eiiont it lavishly. Dec. 10 the guilty pair went to Chicago, thence to Washington and Einlade Dhi a. It was nearly three weeks after Mrs.de Heirry's departure that her husband suspected the truth. What at first seemed the coincidence of Morce'a disappearance gave him the first hint that something wit wrong. When he could secure no clue to her whereabouts by telegraphing or writing, Mr. de Heirry, with a warm friend, Mr. John Careon, a lawyer of St attle, set out to discover bis wife. After a long and tedioua journey the pursuers arrived in New York last Sunday. He next ascerta ned that Morse and Mrs. de Heirry had taken an apartment in an E Twenty firstst, boarding house where they bad remain, d until Jan. 1.1.

They left the house last Friday, leaving their trunks as security. When Mr. da Heirry called she sent word to Morse to come and get his trunk.
