Bradstrewt's aaya: Soma of ths irreg-
clarities are visible in the general trade
and industrial situation, the results of
the working of ooutiter currents in vs-
rious lines, .but, taken as a whole, the
seneral outlook retains the most en-
oouraglng features noted for some time
past in these columee. Favorable re
ports as to retail distribntioo and as to
collections come from Southern, West
ern and Northwestern markets, due to
better weather. Advances in wages of
soft coal miners, of stove molders, and
of other workers allied to the iron and
steel industry would seem to point to
labor conditions retaining most of the
growing strength of raw material. -

Iteadlag the Werd
If I desirsd to put myself in the most
likely place for the Lord to meet with
me, I should prefer the house of prayer,

tures for I might pause over every
verse, and sny: "Such a verse was
blessed to so many souls; then, why
not to me? I am at least in the pool
of Bethesda; I am walking amongst Its
porches, and who can tell but that the
angel will stir the pool of the Word,
whilst I Us helplessly by the side of It,
waiting for the blessing?" Spurgeon.

The Warning of Kaae.
Nature Is vocal with warnings. Pain
is ft warning of one kind, and ease Is a
warning of another kind. When work
that is worth doing becomes very rasy
to as, we may generally conclude that
we are not doing It as good as we might.
Higher excellence is impoaaible when
we are satisfied to do ft thing easily.
Only in the challenge of the dillloult
lies the possibility of progress, Ilnrcio
we mast turn and become as little
children If we would enter the kingdom
of Heaven. They enjoy the difficult.

any reputable antomoSUe would in

Often trouble is just God's hand
bringing us in touch with all the trou
