Now Squirm, Old Natur. "

A stingy Christian was listening to a
charity sermon. He was nearly deaf, and
was accustomed to sit facing the cOngrega-
ton, right under the pulpit, with his ear
trumpet directed upwards toward the preach
er. The sermon moved him considerably
At one time he said to himself: "I'll give
ten dollars;" again he said, "I'll give ff-
teen" At the close of the appeal he was
very much moved, and thought he would
give fifty dollars.
Now, the boxes were passed. As they
moved along his charity began to Ooze out
He came down from fifty to twenty, to ten,
to FIVE, to zero. He concluded that he
would not give anything. "Yet," he said,
"this won't do am in bad fix. My
hopes of heaven may be in this question:
This covetou8uess will be my ruin"
The boxes were getting nearer and near
er. The crisis was upon him. What should
he do? The box was now under his chin
all the congregation were looking. He had
been holding his pocket book in his hand
during the 8Oliloquy, which was half audible,
though in his deafness he did not know that
he vas heard. In the agony of the final
moment, he took his pOcket-bOOk and laid ii
in the box, saying TO himself as he did it
"Now squirm, old natur' !!'
This was victory beyond any that Alexan'
der ever won-a victory over himself. Here
is key to the problem of coyetOusness.-
Old natur' must go under. twill take great
giving to put stinginess down. A few ex-
perimcnts Of puttiog iu the whole pocket
boOs NO., oy and by, get The heart into thG
charity box, and then the cure is reached
All honor to the deaf old gentleman. He
did magnificent thing for himself, and gave
an example worth initiating, besides pointing
a paragraph for the students of human ma
ture.

Going to Jesus.

Nearly three years ago, noble steamer
was sinking with hundreds of persons on
board. Only one boat load was saved. As
a man was leaping into the tossing boat, "a
girl who could not be taken into the boat,
and who knew that she would soon be swal-
lowed up in the deep, deep sea, handed him
note saying,
"Give this to my mother"
The man was saved. The girl, with hun,
dreds of other persons, was drowned. The
mother got the note. What do you think
the little girl had written in it? Here are
her words:
"Dear mother! you must not grieve for
me. l am going to Jesus
Dear girl! What faith and courage she
must have had to write that note
She was going to Jesus through the stormy
waves of the angry sea, yet she was not
afraid. That is the kind of faith you need,
my reader. Well, Jesus viii give it you if
you ask him, for he says, Come unto me.
l will give you rest"
1t makes dying easy to know that we are
going to the bright home which Jesus has
gone to make very beautiful. Let us get
ready for that bright home by loving Jesus.
