Theie are temptations on every hand to ignore the final judgement. The Sunday school can impress upon the mind of every child that Christ lives and helps to conquer. The lniluence of a good teacher often follows a boy and iniluences his whole life. Why cau not the Sunday school teacher have as great an lull uence ? Work in a moral Held requires nure courage and greater sacritice. less pay than in any other held, The power of the church is to be measured by the ability to cope with the evil about it.

The record of the Nickel Plate road during the recent period of industrial j depression has indeed been remarkable, this road has inured to the benefit of the public as much, if not more than to the stockholders. The condition of the road today shows this, (treat and valuable improvements of a permanent character have been made in the shape ot strengthening the roadway, bridges, and other accessories, and procuring i uew aud improved safety appliances; new coaches have been added, elegant Wagner sleeping cars put on, new and powerful engines have been placed in service, and everything has been done to raise the standard o. the road, to per fact its service, and to give it a leading place among the best roads in the country. The result has been obvious. The people have observed the pro uressive spirit of this road, have k veil it a liberal uatronaire. have enjoyed its j excHlent facilities, and that tells the whole story of a highly successful enterprise. Among the most noteworthy improvements effected by the Nickel I'late route is the introduction of a first class dining car service which has won the I approval of the best class of patrons. I Then the coaches have been dlumiuated I by the brilliant l 'witsch gas, heated by j steam, and placed in the care of a j colored porter.
