gs Go TO WoRK.-Let me commend to
some of our brethren a child's version
of sermon delivered in Chicago. The
preacher urged that Christians should
be active to Christ. "They should serve
Him, not with breath alone, but also
with the hands and feet" One of the
audience, leading home his little boy of
six or seven years, asked him if he un

Whereupon the bird of Phoebus,

Now when he perceived her dying,
He was stricken to the heart;

But in vain the god of physc

He who took her off so deftly
