"Cannot admit you, sir." "Can't admit me!" exclaimed the dis mayed aspirant. "Haven't I obeyed the laws of the laud?"

"Oh, yes."

The Town Reports.

The town officers should generally bear in mind the fact that during the last two or three years there has been a growing feeling ou the part of the voters that the annual financial reports should

be issued earlier, so that they may be studied in advance of the town meet ings, to the end that when the voters assemble together for the transaction of business they may be better iuformed as to what anght to be done. To that end Auditor Woodward is endeavoring to get bis "copy" into our hands so that we may get the reports out at least a week before the meeting, if possible.

R. B. Stewart has lakey the agency for the Moody book, and the following letter from Mr. Moody's son will explain itself:

DEAR SIRS-Since making the arrauge ments for the publication of the author- ized biography of my father I have been surprised to see the very misleading statements of other publishers that they are preparing biographies with our appro- val. I want to assure you that all these claims are false and calculated to deceive the public, as we have given our consent to none of these works and they are uot "approved by the family and friends" of my father. I would also

state that without exception we have ex pressed our regret at the multiplication of these works which have been pre- pared iu spite of our urgent protest. I felt that this statement was due to yon In view of these false aunonucements which are the source of great annoyance to us all. Yours truly. W. R. MOODY.

The rationality of such a course on the part of God becomes evident through analogy from nature and from the testi- niony of the scriptures. The bar of steel in the hands of the smith passes through a severe ordeal before it becomes a per- fect and useful tool. The florist cauees the rose plant to experience a life of sac rifice that it may bear a wealth of more perfeot roses. The lawn_which receives continuous cuttings is greener and more beautiful in consequence thereof. The clearest glass attains its perfection of transparency by passing through The hottest fires, And so the Christian is not punished, but disciplined by chas tisement for his perfection, and these scourgings are always the appointments of God's love. Christ was made "perfect through suffering," and we can only be- come "like Him" by passing through the same experience. Philosophy also ae sures us that pain is not an evil, but a blessing, and ever seeks beneficent ends.
