It is a regrettable fact that prolan lty has become common among the boys. It is not in the least out of the ordinary, where a group of boys of ten to fifteen years is together upon the streets or in any open space to play a game of ball, to hear them using oaths that . might suit the tongues of the proverbial fishwife or costermonger, but which are shocking falling from the tongues of children of tender years. Of all stupid and eilly .- vices, profanity is one ' of the worst and most abominable. A slm pie statement of fact is much strong er than any statement embellished with swearwords, and no lie is made any the more believable by being framed in profanity. In fact, both truth and falsehood are weakened by swearing and taking the Lord's name, in vain. Foul Epithets and comparisons are not convincing, but are almost invariably disgusting, except to those making use of them. Profanity among men seems to be growing less and less, at least in public places and among those who may lay claim to decency and some education. But the habit seems to have firmly fixed it self upon a great many of the boys who may imagine it mannish to use profanity and; smoke cigarettes. . . Highway Slaughter. From the New York Tribune. If more than one ' hundred deaths were to be caused in this city in fif teen months by smallpox, or yellow fever, or bubonic plague, we should .have a panic. If such destruction of life were produced by any needless and avoidable cause of general and in creasing prevalence we should proba bly have public meetings and com mittees and what not, demanding that the health board, the police or other municipal authorities should exercise prompt and effective measures for stopping the dreadful sacrifice. Yet in the last fifteen months more, than a hundred lives have been lost on the public streets of this city chiefly in a wholly needless and Indeed criminally wanton manner. And now at last the police and the courts have begun to do something about it which promises to be measurably effective. It is high time that they did. For nine-tenths of these lives were sacrificed to an inso lent, reckless,' law-defying craze for speed. '-: '.'' " Playgrounds. '''''. From the Los Ansreles Herald. Playgrounds should be an important rtart of the nublic school economy and our children should be taught how to play in the playgrounds. Strictly Private. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. As we interpret it, Mr. Harriman considers the issuance of railroad securities none of the people's business because all they have to do with them is to put up the money that they are supposed to represent. TWINKLES Expensive Experience. "I suppose you will do a little gard ening this year?" 1 t "No," answered Mr. Sirius Barker. "I tried it once. It made me so sym pathetic with the people who raise things to eat that I stood for any over charge the huckster chose to suggest.' A Condition Remedied. "You Americans eat too much," said the health expert. "That will be remedied," answered Mr. Fann. "With base ball claiming my attention most every day and my wife busy with afternoon concerts, moat of; the attention to dinner will be left to the servants." The Stocking Tariff. What pathways shall our footsteps trace?" . And echo rudely answers: Perhaps you'll have to hit the pace Set by Saloamy dancers!

"Criminal Neglect", Is What Officials Actions Is Called-

Relative to the local smallpox situation and the effectiveness of the quarantine, The Connersville News says: Thanks to the alertness of the city authorities, today, the community will be saved from any evil results that might have followed what seems to have been criminal neglect on the part of the authorities at Richmond. Ora Mains, who resides with his parents on Mulberry street, between Eighth and Ninth streets, and who has been working and boarding at Ricb mond, came home sick, Saturday night. This morning a health officer pronounced his case smallpox. Immediate steps were taken by the city authorities to prevent possible spread of the disease. ' The street was roped off, a flag put on the house and everything done that advanced science for the prevention of the spread of contagious disease was done. ' An extra session of the city council will be held this evening, when the matter will be fully discussed and it Is possible the city school board will be asked as to the advisability, in their opinion of inaugurating a general vaccination campaign. , So promptly -has the authorities act

Twice before in recent years the city has had smallpox cases, notably in 1005. when a son of Scott Thomas was afflicted and on Western avenue where many hundreds passed daily. There was no excitement and the matter failed to attract more than passing notice. This was because then as now the author! ties acted promptly. There was no attempt at concealment. The people were given all the facts day by day, With ., the great advance in medical knowledge, smallpox has ceased to be the terror it once was. when those in power use the means that this knowl edge has provided to prevent a spread of the disease. The action of the Richmond author itles is most ;. reprehensible. Young Mains was necessarily exposed to smallpox there before being allowed to come to his home. s If they claim that they did not know this, then it is a, confession that they do not" knowhow prevalent the disease is in their own city. If they did know the youns man was exposed and ' then allowed him to leave there, then language is in adequate to express the contempt their action d

Heart to Heart Talks.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.tght, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye OLD AGE PENSIONS. What is so fine as to be able to bring a happy smile into the face and eyes of the aged poor? Like a rare burst of sunshine on a dreary day are the illumined faces of half a million aged and indigent gov ernment pensioners of England on their weekly pay day. ' The first payment of old age pen sions began In that country in January. The applicant for an old age pen sion in England must be seventy years of age and have a yearly income of lees than $175. No ope who has received poor law relief or who has been convicted of a crime can be a pensioner. The total amount to be paid this year by the government is $73,000,000 tremendous reminder of Britain's very poor. Payments are made at the postoffices, where lines of bent, feeble figures gather to receive their weekly dole. A correspondent gives some of these incidents: A feeble old man1 and wife were given 3s. Od. apiece. "Here, lass." said the old husband, "you be the keeper of it all. Let your purse be fat for once. A fat purse with less than $2! A tottering dame whose certificate showed she was eighty-five said as she took her stipend: "Thank goodness! Now I can have some plum pudding." One frail, gentle old soul was so impressed by her riches that she gave a beggar threepence. A blind old lady said in a quavering voice when she was led In, "I couldn't trust anybody to collect so much money" Surely, you . say, $1.25 per week $2.50 for married people is little to rejoice over. But It means a bit of ground to grow vegetables at 1 shilling per week, 3 shillings for food, 3s. 6d. for clothing, leaving a few pennies for the old man's tobacco and maybe snuff for the old wife. And it means self respect! Well, if you pension your soldier, who destroys, why not pension your industrial soldier, who builds up? Is he who, living a sober, indus trious life, building houses and roads and digging ditches, less worthy .of remembrance and case when he is old and broken than the soldier, who wounds and wastes, kills and de stroys? England is. far in advance of us in this particular. Philadelphians Are to be generously entertained with out-of-door music this summer. The ' two branches of the municipal legislature have voted f 15,000 for concerts by the Philadelphia Orchestra in the City Hall plaza, In addition to music in the parks by the City Band. In approving this action the Press says: "A great city has a duty to its citizens besides that of pro tection for life, property and from fire, An American city in our long, hot summer, where life in the open air is easy should be a joyous place, full of interest and movement through hot evenings, with play for children and music for the elders." The French postal system was started in the reign of Louis XI, but the first director-general was appoint ed by Louis XIV. He farmed the of fice, paying a million francs a year for the privilege. This method con tinued until the revolution, when the farmer was abolished and the control was given to ten managers elected by universal suffrage. That plan did not work very satisfactorily and the of fice of director-general was revived under the consulate. The office of undwer secretary for posts and telegraps. held by M. Simyan, was first created in 1877, abolished in- 1878 and revived again ten years later. Prayer meeting at the Margaret Smith home at 2 : 30. Epworth League at 6:30.

The Sunday School Commentary

SERMON, APRIL 18, BY (Ceprnfht, 190S. by AsMricsa hest Iswriitlis 1 When the Holy Spirit records toything several times He must desire to call special attention to it as we sug gested la a recent lesson. He must therefore. Intend that we give good heed to the account of Saul's conversion, recorded in this lesson and in chapters xxii and xxvi. and also to Paul's statements elsewhere concerning it, as in Gal. I, 13-17; I Tim. I, 1117. This chosen vessel (verse 15) was permitted to blindly go his own wsy till the time came, which God had al ways foreseen, to stop him and turn him about in the right direction. Let all those who are pleading with God for wayward sons or daughters, husbands or wives or possibly for parents be encouraged by this wonderful manifestation of the grace of God, and may they bear the Spirit saying. "Thy prayer is beard" (Luke i. 13; Acts x. 31; I John v. 14, 15), and then patient ly but expectantly await God's time to make manifest the answer. Could there possibly be a seemingly more hopeless ease than this one? And yet see bow wondronsly God wrought when His time came. Notwithstanding the triumphant death of Stephen and all that Saul must have beard and seen at that time be still continued his murderous career and was on his way to Damascus in the same spirit when suddenly from being a persecutor of Jesus he became His most devoted bond slave and faithful witness. He saw the risen and ascended Jesus (verse 17) as truly as Stephen did; he beard himself addressed' by name in that double form by which the Lord addressed Abraham and Moses and Samuel; he was convinced of his great sin and, with true penitence, cried. 'Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" Soon it was reported everywhere "that he who persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once be destroyed' (Gal. I, 23). The light from heaven was a great light above the brightness of the sun, and Paul said, "I could not see for the glory of that light. What blessed blindness, a sight of Jesus making us blind to ell else! May It ever be so with us. blmd and deaf to aU but the face and voice of Jesus. The Lord's question, "Why persecutest thou Me?" was in the Hebrew tongue, for which there must nave been some reason. Was It because Saul prided himself on being "an Hebrew of the Hebrews?" (Phil. Ul, 5.) Our Lord's reply to Saul's Who art thou. Lord?" was, I am Jesus of Nasareth whom thou perse cutest,' the name that Saul had so hated and that so many proud Jews hate to this day. When Saul saw the bated, one as the .Lord of Glory his

BY REV. S. Tonic Why we observe the Lord's day. Mark xvi. 1-6; Acts xx. 7; I Cor. xrl, 1; Rev. t. 1. A question perhaps more pertinent than the one before us might be. Why do we not observe the Lord's day? 8abbath desecration is one of our great modern evils. But this tact alone Is sufficient for us to study the reasons for observing the Lord's day, with the prayerful hope that it may lead us, even as Christians, to a better observance of the day and for truer and loftier purposes. The Lord's day is used with discrimination. The Sabbath of the Jews was the seventh day of the. week. The Sabbath of Christians is the first day of the week, commonly called in the New Testament "the Lord's day." 1.. The Lord's dsy is observed as a memorial of the resurrection of Christ. The change in days wss undoubtedly made to commemorate this crowning event in Christ's life. He arose on the first day of the week and met his disciples. He appeared to them eight days lster, which was again the first dsy of the week. He ascended the fortieth dsy after His resurrection, which was also the first day of the week. . The apostles continued to meet on this dsy and called It "the Lord's day." Though with no recorded command to change the days, yet in practice they did do so as recorded from Acts to Revelation, where John in i, 10, declares that he "was in the spirit on the Lord's dsy.". Christ's resurrection wss an event of such vast Importance that it made even such a signal change a most worthy one. Let us think of the Sabbath as the Lord's day and give it to Him as the Jews gave the seventh day to God. 2. The Lord's day is to be observed as a day of public and private wor-j ship. On this dsy, st Pbillppl. Peter! preached the gospel to a multitude of people, and Paul urged the Corinthians to lay aside offerings for God's work. "Upon the first dsy of the week let every one of you lay by him In store as God hath prospered him." Here are two acts of public worship preaching and giving -and no doubt they took place in the public congregation with the other parts of public worship, such as prayer and singing. The Lord's day should be a day of worship. The house of God. should not be neglected. Private worship cannot take its place, and much less the worship of nature or of nothing. Churchgelng msy seem to some an Insignificant thing, but It is of vital importance. Few souls are saved of grow in grace outside tho church. It is next to impossible. We say. "It is the only day we have for recreation, for visiting friends, for getting out in the air." etc. The fact is It Is the only day of tho week which we have not got It is "the Lord's day" Instead of ours, and we should give unto Him what belongs to Him, "not forsaking the assemming of ourselves together, as the msnner of some is." 3. John was u the spirit on the Lord' day and had a wonderful vision. The Lord's day is our day for spiritual uplift and spiritual vision But to have It so we must yield ourselves unto the Holy Spirit and let Him perrade us. The spirit of sin, of woridllness and of . IndlTsrenee. .wlT give us -no heavenly vfston on the Lord's day. 'v,-;;.'-;." -

REV. D. Af. STEARNS.

moutii was rotver shot concerting himself and his previous good opinion of himself, and from that day he was ready to die for Him In whose righteousness alone he now rejoiced (Phil. Ill, 8, 9). The humbled man was three days without sight or food or drink (verse 9). He was led by the hand into Damascus and must have had a never to be forgotten experience in the revelation of hie Lord and of himself which csnw to him those days. Unless we can truly say from the heart Rom. vii, 18, we need to see more clearly the beauty of the Lord until the constant utterance of our heart becomes "Sot I. but Christ." "Not L but the grace of God" (Gsl. U 20; I Cor. XV. 10. It is refreshing to meet in this record a good man named Ananias, for the other one of chapter so dishonored the name that to this day it Is a rare thing to find a man of that name. It is so much more essy to smirch a name than to redeem It. How careful we should be not to dishonor or bring reproach upon that worthy and beautiful name by which we are called, the name of Jesus Christ our Lord (Jas. 11. 7). Let us also remember that all 111 treatment of those who bear that name means to Him ill treatment of Himself, even as He taught when here in His humiliation, "He that desplseth you desplseth me" (Luke x, 16). How honored this Ananias was to be the Lord's msssrnger to Saul with such a message, "Receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Gbostr Andrew was greatly honored to be permitted to bring his brother Simon, ss we think of the 3,000 who came through Simon Peter at Pentecost, but think of what God wrought through Saul. If the humble man who emphasized to the young stranger in the congregation that stormy morning that he never would be nappy till he "looked and lived" had never led another soul to Christ than C H. Spurgeon, would be not have been honored beyond measure? A chosen vessel to bear His name before gentiles and kings and the chll dren af IsraeL to know His will and see Him and. bear His voice and be His witness, to open people's eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God that they might receive forgiveness of sins and eternal Inheritance what an honor, what a comnUssioa! These words were spoken to Saul, but written for us If we are willing to be ea sels for His use. Many are ealred, but few are chosen, not because He wants only a few. bat because so few willing to be His choice oneato suffer as well as to minister. H. DOYLE.. tnu naAMHoa.
