sitions, ana the nationality of his treatment,
We deemit our duty to direct attention to the
subject. II only the remotest probabihh of

the progress Of theseiusidious diseases could be
but temporarily checked, Or, Hunter should be
considered public beneiactori bat when they

SMART BoY-One Sabbath afternoon a
Sunday school teacher observed two boys
playing at martles by the roadside. He
stopped, told them bow wicked it was and
persuaded the worst one to accompany him
to school, The lad was decidedly fast
youth of about eight years. In the class,
among other things, the teacher told him
that God made this beautiful world and all
that was in it, we must thank Him for the
good things we enjoy. He gives US our food
and clothes.
docs He give me my clothes too?" asked
the lad.
Yes, He gives us everything"

NEARER HOME.

one sweetiy solemn thought
Comes to me Ger and Ger,
I'm nearer home to-day,
Than / have ever been before.
Nearer my Fathers home,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the jasper sea;
Nearer the bounds of life,
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.
But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the dim and unknown stream
That leads me at last to light.
Closer, closer, my steps
Come to the dark abysm, ~. & ~.
Closer death to my lips
Presses the awful ehrism. ,-..s.
Father, perfect my trust,
Strengthen the night of my faith;
Let me feel as / would when stand
On the rock of the shore of death.
Feel az would when my feet,
Are slipping on the brink;
For it may be I'm nearer home,
Nearer now than think
