The Sources of Standard Time in the | United States. BR. G.

He says: The sources of time for the pub- Ne generally. are not ag numerous ae is usually supposed. In_ fact, they are very few.

Some people seem to regard works of "mercy" and "charity" as necessarily a pirt of Christian duty. The incident here related in connection with the a: tolic church is given as a pattern of Christ's church for all time. About all the world knows of such work is an ontgrowth of Christianity. Itis manifest in alms houses, reform schools, asylumns, hospitals, or- phanages and Similar institutions; yet far less than it should be, con- sidering the number of professed Christians. Others should declare the word as well as the minister.
