THE CHRISTIAN WORKERS. By the Weak Things of this World God Shall Confound the Mighty. IEn.t*r»rt according liamant of (Jun* Thousand Nine _ bv Wm. Kaily. of Act ottbs l'as- Agriculture. Ottawa.) A despatch from Chicago says :-- Kev. Frank De Witt Talmage preached from the following text : Joshua i, 5, "As I was with Moses, so I will be with .thee." One of the great isirerc- by of ■ best ciitics, is Victor Hugo's masterpiece, "Les Miserables." Amid all the art gallery of that treasured book the most wonderful description is the word painting by ivir'.rh the denunciator of "Napoleon the Little" pictures the downfall of "Napoleon tho Great" at the battle field of Waterloo. When this great master of literature topples over the French colossus, the earth trembles and the dead centuries come forth out of their musty tombs and look on in perpetual wonderment. Yet after all in reading the thrilling story I am impressed not so much by what happened as what did not happen.

Some time ago a poor woman attended the services of the church of whirh I was pastor. She wished to join, but the members of the session were very much in doubt about letting her in. She had been for fifteen years a dissolute character. Her face was scarred and seamed with her past debaucheries. She had by her side a drunken husband and two filthily dressed children. The session talked with her and at last decided to place her on probation for six months. At. the end of siz months she again wanted to join the church, and of course we ad-1 mitted her.
