RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Bmu aimed From *he T«»ohl»f«
of All Denomlnntlona.
The only hope to be sa ved from ever
lasting Buffering is to accept the of
fered mercy of God iu this life aud re
pent of all sin.— Uev. Dr. Holderby,
' Presbyterian, Atlanta, Ga.
Christ Relieves All Burdens.
#here is not a galling of the yoke or
a pressure of the burden but cun be
| relieved by a consistent application of
the teaching of Christ.--Rev. F. E.
i Hopkins, Congregationalist, Chicago.
| Follow Where Chrlat Leada.
| If we go astray, it shall not be for
lack of a bath, but for not following
Where Christ leads. We are simply to
go forward to Chrlstllkeness. —Rev.
I Mr. Helms, Methodist, Worcester,
Mass.
Nearness of Ood and Ham.
Of all creeds that have been founded
since the beginning of the world the
Christian religion Is the only one that
overcomes the sense of distance be
tween God and man.—Rev. Dr. Brady,
Episcopalian, Philadelphia.
Unstable Christianity.
'A Christianity which is not rooted Is
always unstable; a Christian love that
has not penetrated into the depths Is
not a love of a permanent or enduring
character. It is more like a bubble.—
Rev. Dr. MacLaurin, Reformed, Koch
ester, N. Y.
Supplies (JtmoMt Wed.
Christ supplies our utmost spiritual
need. In biiu alone there is satisfaction.
In him we have the Inheritance, incor
ruptible, undefiled uud that fadeth not
away. If Christ be ours, if our faitli
be rooted and grounded in bin), all
things are ours and we are Christ's. —
Rev. S. G. Neil, Baptist, Philadelphia.
Ministering; Unto Others.
If a man would believe in bis fellow
men, If he would believe iu society and
the possibilities of human nature, If he
would believe In God, he must ap
proach his duties In the spirit of the
Muster wheu he said, "I come not to
be ministered unto, but to minister." —
Rev. Dr. George L. Perin, Unlversallst,
Boston.
Being Hl*ht With Uod.
If right with God, there Is comfort
In the thought of a final reckoning of
all accounts, when aud where all
wrongs shall be righted. If right with
God, you cannot be wrong with any
thing or un.vbody. If not right in rela
tion to God, you are out of relation to
everything aud to everybody.—Rev. N.
H. Lee, Methodist, Denver.
Responsibility For Thoughts.
A man is as responsible for his
thoughts as his actions. In fact, a
man's actions are but his embodied
thought. Wrong dolug feeds ou wrong
thinking. Course thinking is the near
est of kin to coarse actions. Right
thinking about Christ brings right
thinking about every relationship of
life.—Rev. Dr. Harlan, Brooklyn.
Righteousness Pays.
There is no greater folly conceivable
than that of imaglnlug that unright
eousness pays more than righteous
ness. The history of the world Is
against it Reason Is against It. It is
the righteousness of the world that
makes unrighteousness of seeming ad
vantage.—Rev. Dr. ltaymoud. Presi
dent Union College, Schenectady, N. Y.
Active and Devoted.
Christ was an example of religious
devotion. We find him going to the
temple. He was also au example of
religious activity. We fiud him doing
good. Some people are devotod Chris
tians, but they are not active. Others
are active, but not devoted. Christ
was both active aud devoted.—Rev.
Dr. Meeley, Methodist, Brooklvn.
Favora and Obligations.
There are uo favors In God's world
but Involve ulso greater obligations.
Each privilege we enjoy means anoth
er duty. Every power we obtain Im
poses upon us some new responsibility.
There is no such thiug as equality in
life. Nature did not fashion all flow
ers and trees alike. Its beauty consists
In its variety of form and color, In Its
contrasts of high aud low, of strong
•ud feeble. Neither are all men mold
ed alike physically or Intellectually;
otherwise human existence would be
bereft of all churm, of all ambition.—
Rev. Kaufman Kohler, Hebrew, New
York. _

SOUTH LONDON.
Mr Walter KMUI OITM Same hll'Ml'
li| kk.totna of That Aaolnk Far
tloa of the City.
Besides being a novelist, Sir Walter
Besant is a historian, particularly the
historian par excellence of London.
For the last few years he haa written
articles on historic London for The
Fall Mall Magazine. The last series
to appear were on South London;
these, like the others, are now present
ed in book form under their original
title and with the elaborate and artistic
illustrations which so enhanced their
value when they were printed in the
magazine. The publishers of "South
London" In this country are Frederick
A. Stokes Company.
"The chief difficulty In writing 'South
London,'" said Sir Walter in his pre
face. "has been that of selection from
the great treasures which have accum
ulated about this strange spot. The
contents of this volume do not form a
tenth part of what might be written on
the same plan, and still without Includ
ing the history proper of the borough."
The author courteously acknowledges
his obligations to tte artist "Mr. Perry
Wadham, who has BO faithfully and so
cunningly carried out the task commit
ted to him."
"My South London," says Sir Walter,
"extends from Battersea In the west to
Greenwich in the east, and from the
liver cn the north to the first rising
ground on lie scuth. This rising
ground, a gentle ascent, the beginning
of the Bui lev hills, can still be observ
ed on the hish roads of the south —
Cljph.mi, liiixton, Camberwell."
At liist London had no communica
tion with the rest of the world, '.xcept
by water. Then a causeway was built
across the Southwark marshes. The
second road connected with the high
road to Dover; it is now culled 1 liirh
Street Borough. It formed an eutirely
open aud broad communication; It be
gan not far to the west of St. Saviour's
Church, opposite the Roman Trajectus,
the mediaeval ferry, now St. Mary
Overies Dock. Ferries were soon es
tablished across the Thames, and at
length the marshes were drained. Pre
historic remains prove that all this
was done during the stone age and
the bronze age.
Centuries passed by. "High Street
of Southwark is now a crowded thor
oughfare, because it is the main artery
of a town containing a population of
many hundreds of thousands. In the
last century it was quite as animated,
because it was one of the main arteries
by which London was in communica
tion with the country. An immense
number of coaches, carts, wagons,
aud 'caravans' passed every day up
and down the High Street, some
stopping or starting in Southwark it
self; some going over London Bridge
to their destination in the city."
Among the relics of the bygone ages
stands to-day the remains of the p.tlace
of the Bishop of Winchester. As ">ne
of the Bishops of Winchester would
have made a very good modern Police
Court Judge and District Attorney
combined, it may not be Inappropriate
at this place to tell something about
the punishments of the tim» that were
ordered by the church. "'There was
whipping, hut not tne terrible, mur
derous flogging of the eighteenth cen
tury; there were hangings, but not for
evsrythlng. Mostly to the credit o'
►he church, punishment was designed
tot to crush a man, but to shame him
into repentance and to give him a
chance of retrieving his character. A
man might be set in the stocks or put
in pillory, and so mad? to feel the heln
ousness of his offe„.«e. This punish
ment was like that which was inflicted
on a schoolboy; the thing done, the boy
Is ta kfn back to favor. The eighteenth
century branded him, Imprisoned him,
transported him, made a brute of him,
and then hanged him. Did a woman
speak despltefully of authority—pre
sumptuous quean—set her up in the
cage beside the stoulpes of London
Bridge, that every one should see her
there and should ask what she had
doue. After an hour or two take her
down; bid her go home and keep hence
forth a quiet tongue in her head. This
leniency was only for offenses moral
and against the law. For freedom of
laought or doctrine there was Bishop
Bonner's better way. Audit was a
way inhuman, inflexible, unable to for
give."
Sir Walter Besant, in showing how
the palace either contains or has at
some time contained the work of nearly
every archbishop In succession, inci
dentally remarks, in speaking of some
of the improvements executed by the
various prelates, that the Chicheley
Tower, commonly known as the "Lol
lards' Tower," "never had any connec
tion with Lollards, and that all the talk
about the unhappy Lollard prisoners is
without foundation."
And, in a word, which will explain
why 1 have given an apparently dispro
portionate space to Lambeth Palace,
the author thus ends his chapter on the
royal houses of South Loudon; "Lam
beth Palace, the only palace in the
whole of South London, is a monument
of English history from the twelfth
century downward. Kennington ap
pears at intervals; Eltham is a holiday
house; Oreenwlch practically begins
with the Tudors. Lambeth, like West
minster or St. Paul's belongs to the
long history of the English people."
From the fragmentary "lives" of
Shakespeare we have learned consider
able about the Globe Theatre, but In
"South London" we find a grett deal
more, and also much about the Bear
Garden, Blackfrlars, and Paris Garden,
the Hope Theatre, the Swan Theatre,
and the Rose. It is all very interest
ing.
And of the South London of to-day,
there Is much that Is of interest, much
that Is fascinating, albeit the tourist
to London can see it all If he only takes
the trouble.
Tempering Steel.
The tempering of steel with uniform
results is a feat hardly to be achieved
by the most expert artisan. A German
inventor had devised a process for ac
curately obtaining any desired degree
Of hardness, the variations being effect
ed by changes in the liquid used, and
depending on the fact that graded re
sults may be produced by the use of
milk in varying forms and dlluttons —
that is, by freehand skimmed milk,
sweet and sour whey, fresh and old
buttermilk, and different mixtures with
water. The various stages of acidifica
tion of milk are also said to give all
the effects of hardening in oil and oth
•r tat mixtures.
