Many a child goes astray, not be
cause there is a want of prayer or
virtue at home, but simply because
home lacks sunshine. A child needs
smiles as much as flowers need sun
beams. Children look little beyond
the present moment. If a thing
pleases, they are apt to seek it; if
it displeases they are apt to avoid
it. If home is the place where ia
ces are sour, and words harsh, and
fault-fnding is ever on the ascen-
dant, they will spend as many hours
possible elsewhere.

A Sharp Tongue.

Some people have most unpleas-
ant way of convincing you that you
are of no account in the world-that
you ought not to exist. Perhaps
they say little, but that little stings.
Sometimes they are apparently
suave and considerate in manner
and phrase. But in either case, you
go away from them with the feeling
that the world is stuffed with saw
dust-that you yourself are an i'm
beetle and an impOster. 1t may
take days for you to recover your
proper standing with yourself
Then, if you ask your soul what IA
tai gift has the tormentor, which
carries with it this power Of making
his fellow-mortals miserable, YOU
discover that this is the gift of sell
fishness. The person to whom you
have been talking is ungenerous. A
generous wOman-yOu cannot come
near such one without receiving
something that makes amends for
your own disappointment;with your
own ill temper of, yourself. Au IN
generous person adds the weight of
another to your side of the scales,
and down you go, hopelessly crush
ed.

There are many things which we
regard as being to insignificant to
notice as we journey through life,
but there is nothing great or small
TO the ruler of the world. Page af-
ter page of holy history reveals
this. When the STRIPPING shepherd
took the parched corn to his broth
ers, it was his first step toward the
throne. When Ruth went forth to
CLEAN in the fields of Boaz, she knew
not that her foot was on her own
fair inheritance. When the woman
of Samaria carried her pitcher to
the well, it was to meet one greater
than her father Abraham, and One
who gave unto her the living water.
There is nothing so little that God
may not be found in it.

A poor widow who wept by the
coffin of her only child exclaimed:
q see that God wants my ,0hole
heart, and He shall have it,
1t is the aOhoZe heart for which
our Saviour is often contending in
His dealings with His people; for
it is in proportion as the old nature,
with its affections and trusts, is
removed, that the indwelling of the
Holy Spirit is manifested. How
soon a desire unduly INDUCED, or
an unholy thought unrestrained,
will cast its shadow on the spirit;
or idle words or foolish testing
break the sweet peace that reigned
before! How rapidly and uncon-
sciousIy some cherished affection
may beget an idol which the hand
of love must break in pieces!

Never accuse a child of fault I'M
til you are certain he committed it.
We should act toward them in this
matter as we feel we ought to
act toward others, only with greater
tenderness; not less, as is usually
done. We should always put the
best construction possible upon their
conduct; that is, unless you are
sure a child is telling a lie, and can
prove it, do not show the smallest
hesitation in believing what he says.
Far better that you should be de-
ceived, than TO run the risk of show
ing a truthful child that you do not
trust him. Your simple trust
makes a lying child truthful Your
doubt of his truthfulness may make
truthful child a liar.
