CHARAcrER.-A misstep may destroy
life. One sin may ruin your character.
Did YOU ever reflect on the consequences of
a single indulgence in vice? The best men
have fallen through the suggestions of an
other. How careful should you be, while
in the freshness of your days, lest blight
fall ON your character aud ri n you forever,
Abstain from the appearance of evil If
invited to places of resort, where it is diff
cult to decide, take the safe course, stay
away and save your reputation. This is a
jewel ofine>timable vaiue--too precious to
beput in jeopardy. No man ever regrets
that he kept aloof from The temptation, and
to the close of life he expresses bis Joy that
he was saved from path of shame, by Civ
ing decided negative, when the voice of
pleasure beckuntd him on. Be- decided
and you ~iIbr safe. Yield and You may
be lost. Watch with diligence, and guard
every avenue through which sin may reach
you. In no other way will you be sure to
overcome the evil of the world. ..-.'...

FRANKNEss How pleasant it is, amid
the seIfshneas OF the world. to meet gen-
uipe open anl frank person. Life has its
bitterness and its troubles. and not the least
of their causes is the snakish cunning of
so many around US. Life too has its plea
sures. and there is nothing serves more to
enhance them, and to smooth the pathway
ofour journey here bel'w, than the cheer
ing intercourse with frank and manly ma
tnres. How d,testrd is that being who
with masks and smiles gains YOUR conf
drnce but whose heart is ranking poison
against YOU, and whose career is one con.
tinnal practice Of double-dealing and trea
cherry! ..
How respected and how honored is that
one who comes to yon, heart and hand
and whose. words You know to be genuine
and not counterfeit. Whether in censur.
or praise. there ia sencerity there. and it ii
the same in your presence, and in your alb
seDce.

ANSWER To PRAYER --Gnd's people
sometimes pray for spiritual blessings aud
then they are disappointed if they are moi
bestowed They are almost tempted To
think that God has not heard them. Bat
We should never forget that piayers from
the heart are at~ay, hraru; and if the An.
swer' are delayed there is some good rpa-
son for it. It is either to humble us more !.
or TO make us value what we ask for, or to
try our faith - ".1 .
Then, too, we should bear in mind that
our prayers ar9 often answered, but tie
answer is overlook. d, because il does not
come just as We would have it come.
"An>wer to PRAYER" (saSs quaiht old
writer docs not come in the wav we rx-
pect 1t. We look for it al the front door.
aud Il comes in at the brrk door: and
while We are sill KIP crir the friend we
looked for, he is in the house" The mer

III way We thought not of, and con>e-
quentlt We are spt to overlook it There

haps, for grace TO become more holy: Ynd
God sends YOU affiictior. Here vour peti
ton is granted, but not in the way thai
