PUBL

UBLISH YOUR OWN
MONTHLY LOCAL
CHURCH PAPER

IT WILL BRING:

SPIRITUAL GOOD.-By its monthly visits a
Pastor can make known his wishes to every
member of the church. By its regular visits those
who are indifferent to the appointments of the
church may be reminded of their obligations.
SOCIAL GOOD.-This plan of a church paper

will enable the Pastor of any church to increase
his power, enlarge his sphere of influence and ad-
equately reach all classes of the community in
which the church exists, and in which he pros-
ecutes his ministry.

FINANCIAL GOOD.-Beside the profit which

may be derived from a subscription price which you may charge for your paper, the direct benefit resulting to a church having the enterprise to publish a paper devoted solely to its interests is beyond computation.

THE PLAN is to furnish a neatly printed paper

of magazine form, for your church each month, so cheaply as to be entirely within your reach! You to furnish copy for local matter. You can give your paper whatever name you choose, and your name will appear as edi. tor, and your town as the place of publication. For full particulars, send stamp. CHURCH & SCHOOL PUB. CO., Detroit, Mich.

Thoughts from Thomas a'Kempis

Humility is a virtue of so general, so exceeding good influence, that we scarce can purchase it too dear.

Smooth and pleasant is his passage whom the grace of God conducts and carries through this troublesome world.

Happy is that man who can comfort himself with having employed any one day of his life so perfectly well as he might and ought to have

done.

There are two things by which a man soars above the world-sincerity and purity. That aspires and aims at a likeness to God; this makes us really like Him.

He that hath gained an entire conquest over himself, will find no mighty difficulties to subdue all other opposition; and this is a complete victory indeed.

And every man endued with a true Christian spirit will not A man whose mind is purified fail to find a hidden manna like that from the dross of earth, and dis- of old, fitted both to nourish and posed as it ought to God and heav- give delight to the soul. enly things, will find that every accident of life contributes to his advantage.

The sharpest as well as the noblest conflict, is that wherein we labor to gain a conquest over ourselves; and this should be our principal and constant care, to get ground every day, by bringing our passions more and more under.

The beginning of all temptations to wickedness is the fickleness of

Work-Manual and Mental.

There is a very great mistake made about work. The man who takes a spade at six o'clock in the morning, and works with it without breakfast, dinner, or tea, till six o'clock at night, is undoubtedly a working man. But there are men who work much harder than he works, who have no spades, and who hardly ever touch any kind of man

Virtue can never be attained with- our own mind, and want of trust in ual labor. I find no greater difficulty

Death can hide in a drop and ride in a breath of air. Our greatest dangers lie hidden in little things.

We must teach more by our example than by our advice, or else we shall be poor pleaders for the right.

Married men are generally of two kinds: those who tell their wives everything, and those who tell them nothing. It is evident that the relative merits of the two systems depend upon the relative merits of the wives in question.-Marion Crawford-Mr. Isaacs.

The absence of Dr. Haskell, through serious illness, occasioned the most marked expressions of sympathy and love from the convention as a whole, and from its

individual members. Dr. J. S. Holmes, the president of the convention, made a special trip to Ann Arbor to convey the sympathy and love of his brethren to our honored member and former pastor. Special interest in the convention centered about the meetings of the trustees of Kalamazoo College, and those held in the interest of the new movement for the organization of a Michigan Baptist Young People's Assembly. The latter organization was formed. with excellent prospects for usefulness.

THE religion of Christ effects not only the heart,
but also the face of its possessor. Let the heart be
happy, and the face will smile. A glowing heart
makes a glowing face. If the "inner court" be full
of light, the "outer court" will reflect the beauty and
the brightness. When Moses left Mount Sinai, his
face told the story of rapt communion with God.
Nearness to God brought a transforming power upon
his person, which was a testimony to the reality of

people that he had been with God, for his face bore
silent and sufficient testimony to the fact. The face
was more eloquent than mere speech. It was more
impressive than the language of the tongue. The
face talked of glory seen, of power felt, and of Divine
presence realized. Other men have also borne on
their faces the beauty of God. Before their lips have
uttered a syllable, their faces have swiftly told the
sweet story of the life of Christ within them, and of

the late William E. Boardman relates this significant
characteristic of his Christian life: "Before he was
forty years of age a woman, living in sin, who scarce-
ly believed there was a God, was convinced not only
of the existence of God, but of a future state of bless-
e lness, by seeing the face of my husband as he passed
her house. She knew the hour he usually went to
his little study connected with the place of worship,
and would go to the window, as she told me, and
stand waiting for him to pass, that she might catch a

I put THE story is an old one, but good, for all that. Said the camel: "It is cold out here; may my head within your door?" The merchant could not find it in his heart to refuse. Before long the camel's neck, as well as his head, was within the little room; then his shoulders; then his whole body. So the merchant was crowded out entirely, for the room We sometimes was not big enough for both of them. think it no great harm if we permit the beginning of a bad habit to enter our bosom.
