These horses although not possessing the ereat speed of some of our American trotters, considering their size.
have qualities unsurpassed by any other
average rate of 2:40 per mile in race ot from two to four miles under saddle over turf tracks carrying heavy weights.
In forming this breed which so completely meets the demands for smooth high stepping horses of great style and en
durance, the blood of the Barb, Arab and thoroughbred, were mingle 1, and in this magnificent race of Coach Horses,
we have the result of more than two centuries of persevering and scientific skill of the best French breeders.
Owing to a demand for better bred horses in this county the French Coach Horse Company of Bloomsburg was
formed recently anil purchased the Imported French Coach Stallion, Senlis. Seal brown, ? years old, 16 hands high
and weighing 1420 lbs., a picture of which is shown above. Any information

The "dove" dinner, conducted
with ail the foitnality of the regula
tion dinner-party, is a decided
innovation; but though the guest of
the initial entertainment of the kind
were invited to dine and incidentally
discuss plans for charitable entertain
ments for the Lenten and Easter sea
son, the affair was so enjoyable, and
consequently successful, that others
have followed with the sole and
avowed object of pleasure. The
truth of the matter is, bright women
enjoy each other's society much better
than is generally believed; and one, at
least, has confessed that she considers
a bright woman's appreciation more
sincere than that of a man, and that
she always feels on her mettle when
with woman only. Tne strictest form re
garding invitations, service, and toilet,
are observed; dinner is served at eight
o'clock, escorts are invited for ten,
and all have departed by eleven.

As to Ourselves.
It is a fact which no 0"ie disputes,
that nothing worth having is got in
this world without hard work and
waiting. Yet when we set durselves
seriously the task of gaining a great
good, we become astonished and com
plain loudly at the discovery that we
have to work hard and wait long to
get it. This is about as reasonable as
if a man should acknowledge that two
and two made four, and should grum
ble because in his private cash ac
count he could not make two dollars
and two dollars add up to five dollars.
Nothing we find out in life is more
utterly confounding than this: that
truth is not only true in the abstract,
but tha1, it is true for us. It is not on
ly a copy book axiom, but a vital fact
in life, that if we do good, good is
bound to come of it; and if we do
evil, we must expect evil. It seems
to take a long time before Nature
convinces each of us that we live un
der her law as individuals in common
with all mankind We concede that
her law is immutable, but we have a
secret conviction that an exception is
to be made in our own particular case.

Comment bjr Kev. H. If. Dovle.
ToPJf. Promise meeting. (Beluga, promise
that JtoU liave tested.) Isa. xt,B; Math. xxiv.So.
In tliis promise mooting but ono pe
culiarity of divine promises is cmplia
t;zrl, nnd that is the faithfulness of
( thctii. "God's promises are sure" is the
keynote of our topic. In Isa. xl, 8, the
' prophet snys, "The graM wit hernth, the
j flovrer fadoth, but the word of our God
I nhr.ll Btnnd forever." In Math, xxiv, 85,
Jef;us tnys, "Ilccvon r.nd earth tihall pss3
' away, but My words nhall not pass
j G'.vay." In each of tlieso the character
j istic of certainty is prominent and np
i permost, first, bb to the promises of God,
nnd, second, as to the promises of Christ.
: 1. The promises of God that have
j been fulfilled. "The word of our God
I shall etund forever," says the prophet,
' and the history of man re-echoes the
j statement. God has been faithful to all
I IIin promises. When man sinned He
I promised tho world a Redeemer. The
promise has been fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
The promise to Noah that the world
I should not again bo destroyed by a
j flood, the promiso to Abraham of a cove
nant, people and country; the promise to
be with His people Israel so long as they
were faithful to Him, the promise "while
the earth remaineth" of "seedtime and
harvest, cold and heat, summer and win
ter, day and night," the promise to be
with the widows and fatherless, have all
been abundantly fulfilled, and well may
it bo said of the promises of God, "Ho is
faithful that promised."
The promises of Chriat that have been
fulfilled. "My words," says Christ,
"shall not pass away," and history also
corroborates the truthfulness of His dec
laration. Christ has fulfilled the prom
ises that He made when upon earth that
the gates of hell should not prevail
against his church; that to all who
would come unto Him He would give
rest from sin; that when two or three
of His followers were .gathered together
in His name, to be in their midst; that
when He would go away He would send
another comforter and guide, even the
spirit of truth, and His great promise,
"Lo, I am with you alway, even nnto
the end of the world." Tho promises of
the Son have been as certainly and faith
fully fulfilled as those of the Father.
8. The logical inference. The only
logical inference from these manifold
facts is that divine promises will always
be fulfilled. Faithful fulfillment in the
past and present is our firm assurance of
faithful fulfillment in the future. Many
precious promise have been fulfilled,
many are daily and hourly being ful
filled, and many are still to be fulfilled,
such as the second coming of the Son to
judge the world and to receive to Him
self tha faithful of God. God's faithful
ness should inspire us to faithfulness in
return and to unlimited confidence in
His word. "Let ns hold fast the confes
sion of our faith without wavering, for
He is faithful that promised" (Heb. x, S3).

The Birth of Christian Endeavor.
Twelve years ago Feb. 2, quietly and
without ostentation, was born the first
society of Christian Endeavor. Twelve
years have nearly passed, and there is
scarcely a land on the globe that has not
such societies, and there is scarcely a
language of a civilized nation into which
the constitution has not been translated.
God has multiplied the seed sown until
now we have 1,400,000 fellow members
in over 23,000 societies, and never was
the outlook so bright for Christian En
deavor as it is today. The only feeling
that should animate our hearts is one of
devout gratitude to Almighty God. There
is no room for self congratulation or for
boasting. All that can be said is with
deep humility to exclaim. "This is tbf
Lord's doing."
WUliston church, Portland, Me., the
birthplace of Christian Endeavor, hod
been organized three years when Dr.
Clark accepted its pastorate. The church
was the outgrowth of a mission Sunday
school and a branch of the State Street
Congregational church of Portland. Rev.
Burke F. Leavitt, recently of the Lincoln
Park church, Chicago, was its first pas
tor. Its present pastor is Rev. Dwight
M. Pratt, author of "A Decade of Chris
tian Endeavor."
The Christian Endeavor society was
organized in the parsonage of Williston
church. For four years previous to this
date Mrs. Clark had gathered about her
a band of boys and girls for Christian
nurture and work. This band was called
the Mizpah circle, and from this circle
came many of the original members of
the first Christian Endeavor society. As
Mr. Pratt says, "Mizpah was the bud; .
Christian Endeavor the blossom." Most
truly has Dr. Clark said that Mrs. Clark
rocked the cradle in which the society '
was born. '
At the meeting in the parsonage Dr.1
Clark read the constitution to those pres
ent, explained tho pledge, and 67 signod
as active members and six as associate
members. Mr. W. IL Pennell, now of
Boston and one of the trustees of the
United society, was the first to sign the
pledge and constitution. ,
Aspiration.
Would you see the beautiful vision.
That the Father lias in store
For Ills chosen ones His faithful.
Who serve Him evermore?
Would you hear the grandest muslo
Tho swelling strains divine
The heavenly melodies surging
Aniuua inai aoui or mule?
i
Would you like the gift that's promised
To His children here below
Ever to live in the sunlight
Ana Joy immortal know?
Would yow have the life eternal.
Ever with Him to bo.
Lovingly serving the Master
Who gives such gift to thee?
Oh, come unto Jesus, your Saviour,
And, coming, all burdens will tall.
Be'U fill all your soul with his glory
His grace he will never recall.
