In the Christian life we must not go slip-
shod. This world was pot inade for as to rest
in. In time of wor you will nd around the
streets of some cily, far from the soene of
confit, men in soldiers uniform, who have
aright to be away. They obtained a fur-
Jough and they are honestly and righteously
off duty: but'l have fo tell you that in this

and the lost moment in which we shout the
there never will be a single instant
in whieh we will hava a right to bo off duty.

excileioanis of the old Homan and Grecian
games—those games that sent a mean on a
race, with such a stretch of nerve
and muscle, that sometimes when
he came up ta the goal be dropped

us that there were cases whore men came up
and omly bad strength Just to grasp the
goal and then full dead. Now, says this
apostle, woking allusion to those very games,
wo are nil to run the race, not to crawl it
pot to w but “run the race set before

olden times, a man would stand at the end

succosalul racer, so the Lord Jesus Christ
stands at the end of the Christian race with
the gariscd of eternal life and may God
grap that by His’ spirit we may so run

A type-writer girl of Indianapolis has
expressed herself on this subject with
commendable vigor in the Jowrnal of
that city. She declares that she was
sick of men and their untidy ways,
“They sling paper,” she added, “all
over the office, and loll about on the
desks and chairs in such undignified at-
titudes. They smoke and chew. We
have fourteen drummers who come into
our office, and only one of them has
ever had the courtesy to ask me if
cigar-smoke is offensive tc me.
“Then they are silly; they talk suel

woulda't be guilty of. It is all about
necktios, new hats, ballets, good din-

It is a relief to know that the men of
whom she complains are of assorted
sizes. Her desoriptron applies to the

sre-supposes and necessitates a much
igher type of avilization than that
described. Among men of business
who know how to behave in the pres
