cnnisTiAN A. Front Sëats. One peculiarity we have often noticed among Christian people. If a concert or a lecture is to be given front seats are at a premium. No body, on such an occasion, wants to be poked off in a corner by the door. But ^et it be a social meeting in- stead of a concert, and it is aston ishing how modest everybody be comes at once. Tho further back a seat, the more desirable it is, and if there a bench within two feet of the door it is the first one filled. Why this should be is one of those profound problems of human nature that we never succeed in solving K A Pennsylvania pastor—he is a Presbyterian—has hit upon a device for overcoming this tendency that may be worth imitating. A neat pocket-list of prayer-meeting topics for the year has been printed ahd placed in the hands of every mem ber of the church, and at frequent intervals in the list, in conspicious type, are the words, “ Take a front seat” -This, though possibly quite - aa effectual, i* a tn t Ider method than one that was tried a few years ago in a certain Baptist church. The pastor had ropes tied across the entrance to the pews, except those in front, and the people had to take front seats or climb over. A tem porary reformation was effected, but when the ropes were removed there Vwas a great backsliding in that congregation.— Examiner. The Story ot a Great Discovery. There appeared not long since, iu the ChicagoWeekly Inter Ocean , there marka ble article with the above title, occupy ing nearly five columns of that able journal. It describes very clearly^ and with great particularity the inception, development, and successful result of an effort by a thoroughly educated and in telligent American physician to discover an element, or combination of elements in nature which would, without a resort to drug-medication, cure diseases through a restoration of weakened or exhausted nerve and life-forces to their normal condition. The scientific aspect of the discovery is so clearly explained in the article that both the learned and unlearned can see the basis of facts and legitimate deduction upon which to rest. Many of the practical results al ready obtained through the use of this new vitalizing substance, and in cases of the most desperate character, where all remedies had failed and the most skillful physcians found themselves at fault, are given in the article, and its high value as a health restorer testified to by individuals well and honorably 5 known throughout th» oountry, who have in their own persons proved its wonderful healing power.
