CAN A CHILD CONE TO CHRIST

Hattie 4. was All only child. Her
father was n devoted minister, and
the care of little IIat,io dcvolvcd up
On her mother, an earnest Christian
woman, who early sought to SOW
good seed in tho mind of her little |
one.
When Hattie was fivc years old
there was much religions INTEREST," in
the congregation, and many were led
TO tho Saviour. AS Hattie's mother
and Christian friend were talking
of the great things God was doing
they pen ceivod the bittor weeping OF
little Hattie.
"What is it, my chiId?" tho moth
or asked. 80, mamma, 1 havo done
so many naughty things, and l am
afraid shall die"
The lady then took her leave and
tho mother was alone with her child
and the Saviour, tho hearer of prayer
Taking the little one in her arms the
mother said, "Hattie, do you feel that
you are q sinner ?" "Oycs, mamma"
"Well, what should we do when we
feel that we have offended God ?"
"Ask him to forgive us."
"God tells US that he will forgive
us when we ask him. He tells US he
loves to bavo little children como to
l should be grievcd if my little daugh
ter did not trust me. 1t is just 80
with jesus. He wants you TO give
your heart to him. Shall we ask God
to help You to come to him now ?"
The two knelt down, and the mother
offered a fsrvent prayer that God
would make this little one his own.
Hattie then poured out her heart
in the following prayer: 90, Saviour,
wont you forgive me- for all tho naugh.
things 1 have done, and make me
your little girl, and help me to be
good all the time, aud take ms to
heaven when 1 die?
When they arose from their knees
Hattie was still weeping. After fur
Their conversation they knelt again,
and the mother besought the Savior
to heal the heart he had broken.
Still Hattie continued to weep, and
her mother, taking her in her arms,
said: $50 my little girl cannot be-
lieve that Jesus will forgive hor when
he says he will. The Saviour means
just what ho says"
A third time they knelt in prayer
When they rose up from their knees,
Hattie looked up through her tears
and said, "Mamma, there is a paper
in papa's study that tolls us all about
it; let mo get it." She was gone bu,
a moment; and returned with Child.

which was simple initiation to lit

HOUSEKEEPING IN THE FUTURE.7Commun-
tiles will be driven to organic. a they now do
in Europe, TO lessen the labOrs of individual
families by having some OF the present dogaes-
TIC tasks done out of the house.
In France for example, no housekeeper
counts either washing, ironing. or bread-mak-
ing as part Of her domestic cares. All the fam
lily washing goes out 10 a laundry; and being
attended 10 by those who make that depart
ment of labor a specially, il comes home in re-
frcshingly beautiful order.
We in America. though we pride ourselves
on our Yankee thrift, are far behind the French
IN domestic economy. II all the families of
gkborhood should put together the sums
they separately spend in buying or fitting up
and keeping in repair tubs. boilers. and other
accommodations for washing, all that is con-
sumed or wasted IN soap, starch. bluing, fuel,
together with the wages and board OF an extra
servant. the aggregate would suffice to tit up n
neighborhood laundry, where one or two capa-
BILE women could do easily and well what ten
