child ?" "Wine and milk" replied the
eager young voice. "We've nothing to buy
them with, aud the doctor wants her TO
have them. You said come without money,
you know, and I'm here. Otto's brought
the KETTLE and I've got bottle That
was my text this evening" remarked the
minister to a friend who had joined him.
Come buy wine and milk, without money
and without price These children were my
most attentive hearers. The girl, you perceive,
has applied it to the one great need she ls

is required of u.s." replied the gentleman.
II this story is strictly true, neither kettle
nor bottle shall remain empty" Up mar
row court in the church's rear they found
woman far advanced in consumption, who
had evidently seen better days. Worse ones,
too, because love of wealth and pleasure had
led her down to the horrible pit, and into
the miry clay the Bible tells us about. Her
husband was in his grave wealth and sta
tion had vanished like dream and now as
the waters of the dark valley crept chilly
about her feet, she looked and longed for an
upward ray to pierce her spirits gloom.
The Rev. Mr.. Il, while ministering
TO her bodily needs, lost no time pointing
her to the Sun of Righteousness and as he
talked, fear and agony faded out of the
woman's face, and the light of great hope
dawned in her beautiful eyes. Those two
little bundles of rags, Ora and Otto, sat
curled up in one corner listening, just as
they had listened from the pew, with hands
folded in their laps, lips apart and deep,
dead shining in tho orbs that never for All
instant left the speakers face. Ora met
him on the stairs as he was going out. 81
know what it means now" she whispered.
"Maybe / wouldn't if you'd brought the
words without the wine and milk" She
stood on the step above him, little girl
upon whose head the years were light and
few, slight figure in rags and tatters
nevertheless, he saw at once that her heart
had taken in the heavenly from earthly
types, and was exceeding thankful week
later Ora and Otto were motherless, yet not
alone. Kind friends took them in, kind
hands ministered unto them but neither
ever forgot their first sermon, nor the kettle
and bottle they brought to put it in.-

The load Of Gold.

There were two brothers: one, rich in the
love of good wife and children, but sick
and poor in this worlds goods the other,
Franz was rich in money, which he loved
better than anything else. Franz lived all
alone. One bitter cold night the wife of
the sick brother came to the miser Franz
and begged for help, but he refused her, and
she went away, saying, pray God that the
gold which has so hardened your heart may
never weigh so heavy on your soul, that you
cannot mount to glory" This frightened
Franz. By and by a fairy came to him, shak-
ing bags Of gold, and said, Lie down,
put your strong box on your chest and |
will give you gold so long as you can bear
its weight but take care you don't get too
much, for though | can give, | cannot take
away So Franz lay down, but he was so
greedy of the gold that he kept wanting
more, till at last he was so weighed down
he could not move. And there he lay for
wears and years. At last bright light
shone, and a crowd of people gathered
around him. lie remembered his neighbors,
his brother with the wife and children, but
he couldn't 60 near them, for he was weighed
down by this pile of gold. 40, take it off
take it off p' he cried and let me 60. -
Then came voice, Any of you, his fam
lily, his neighbors, or servants, any one ichom
he has heiped, may remove the awful load
that binds him down" But no one stirred
and cry burst from Franz, as his eye went
from face to face, and only the memory OF
unkind and selfish words and actions came
up before him. lie saw in his sisters face
that same sad look, as on that stormy night
long, long ago, when he drove her from his
door, cold, hungry and sorrowful. Then Q
wall was heard with these words, "The golC
that hardened his heart has bound him Il
the earth; he can never rise to glory" Th'

What sweeter earthly word than that
which our lips first learned TO utter
Mother There may have been periods in
our lives when, in thoughtess sef-pride, we
thought mothers restraint too severe but,
looking back to those days long since past,
we remember them only with regret and sor-
row. While conyersing with a friend, not
long since, upon the scarcity of real friend
ship, he remarked that "when all Others de
serted man, his mother was a friend. She
chung to him under all circumstances" How
true How deep, changeless and abiding is
a mothers love. She has smile for our
joys, tear for our sorrows. How little do
many of us appreciate the priceless worth Of
such a friend There is no love like hers,
and her lessons are never forgotten. A man
may become fallen and degraded and an out
cast he may wander from the path of vir-
tue and honor, and become stepped in in
fanny and shame but her early teaching
may find him in many sad hour, whether
he be In palace or felon's cell. She is

Remedy for Trouble.

Work is your true remedy. If misfortune
hits you hard, you hit something else hard
pitch into something with will. There's
nothing like good, solid, absorbing, ex-
hausting work to cure trouble. If you
have met with losses, you don't want to lie
awake and think about them. You want
sleep--calm sound sleep-and eat your din
ner with appetite. But you can't unless you
work If you say you don't feel like work,
and go loafng all day to tell Dick and Harry
the story of your woes, you'll lie awake and
keep your wife awake by your tossing, spoil
your temper and your breakfast the next
morning, and begin tomorrow feeling ten
times worse than you do to-day. There are
some great troubles that only time can heal,
and perhaps some that never can be healed
at all but all can be helped by the great
panacea, work. Try it, you who are afflicted.
1t is not patent medicine. 1t has proved
its efficiency since first Adam and Eve left
behind them, with weeping, their beautiful
Eden. 1t is an efficient remedy. All good
physicians in regular standing prescribe it
in cases of mental and moral disease. 1t
operates kindly as well, leaving no disagree
able Sequela, and we assure you that we have
taken large quantity of it with most ben
efcal results. 1t will cure more complaints
than any nostruin in the materid medicd, and
comes nearer to being "cure-all" than any
drug or compound of drugs in the market
And it will not sicken you if you do mol
take it ar-eoated.-lfoore's Rarm Neu

Botiling A Sermon.

There they sat, Ora and Otto, curled up
on the hassocks in one of the front pews-
one OF the very first pews in the middle
block-a position not in general favor
consequently they were beyond the range of
any gaze which, if not actually offended by
their untidness, would at least have scruti-
nized them curiously and critically. Nobody
saw them but the minister, who could only
look and wonder at his odd little hearers,
then wait until the sermon was over for the
purpose of speaking with them. II would
not be difficult TO guess how they got there.
The honey bee, the brown wasp, and blue
bottle come to church in summer weather,
when doors and windows stand wide open,
Just so these waits from the street strayed
in. There they sat, bareheaded, barefooted,
with dirty little hands folded in their laps,
hair like brush-heaps, and eyes more like
coal-bins than anything else under sun or
earth The pastor soon discovered that,
spite of the intense heat, the passing flash
OF lightning's wing, the thunder pulses
throbbng in the distance, he had two hear
ers whose attention never wayered in the
least. Once the lights fiared, then almost
died out Next some one with squeaking
boots left the place. Again, hymn-book
fell with loud crash, yet those bundles OF
rags, with black sparks for eyes, neither
lifted nor stirred. lie was really sorry,
this good, kind man, when, the service over,
he looked and they were gone-had van
ished like two little bats that belonged to
the darkness and loved it. He had not
gone far, however, on his homeward jour
ney, when shadow within shadow stirred
thin, dirty little hand reached out and
touched him. 40 sir, please give me some
for my sick mother" "Give you what

Cnnlnnn Sense.

There is nothing in which this admirable
quality shows TO greater advantage than IN
the Interpretation of the religious doctrines.
The Bible is a book that should be read like
other books, in broad aud comprehensive
way. The landscape of truth is like the
landscape of nature. II is uneven in its
surface. 1t has its crests aud its valleys.
Some truths stand higher than others-are
more attractive and influential for good than
others. There are facts in the Bible record
which are of little value TO the soul. They
quicken no moral sense they give vision to
no spiritual faculty; they modify no evil
temper they assuage no grief they give
no inspiration to the plans and purposes of
life. Recitation of these is useless. Far
fetched deductions from them are OF no
value. The length of the creation period,
the tonnage of the ark, the capillary rela-
tions of Samson's strength, the guerilla skir-
mishes of the Judges, the rams horn signals
in front of the walls of Jericho-these are
questions about which no sensible Christian
cares fig Belief in them affords no stan
dard of saving faith. They serve no other
purpose than to keep alive speculation
which is silly because it results in nothing
practical. Out of these old shucks and shells
there terminates no virtue and no grace.
W nat we nttu ho IcbdluS tuc Ilplc - IA
tional Interpretation of its history and its
doctrines. All extreme dedustions and in-
ferences weaken the popular faith in the
Scriptures, and loosen the salutary hold
which their aggregate teachings have upon
the popular conduct To insist that man
should believe the incredible, is the very
way to destroy all faith in him. What
should be put up before the people is what
| the naonla can understand and annronriatp
to supply their religious needs day by day.
The best way to make the average man rev
erence the Bible is so to explain it that II
shall seem sensible book TO him. Make il
to his soul what bread is TO a hungry man,
and he will prize it. Bring out clearly,
brethren, the great life-giving thought OF
the Scrptures-the thought which puts
men in proper relations with God and their
fellow men, and you have made it answer
the great purpose for which it was written
