The Boys Room
A. H. ERWIN.

We wish especially to urge upon mothers
the propriety of giving up to the boys, as
soon as they reach the age of twelve or four
teen years, one room mot bed-chamber,)
for whose reasonably good order they shall
be responsible, and which they shall consider
wholly their own. The floor must be un-
carpeted, of oiled wood; the furniture of
the same material. Let it be papered, cur
tanned, decorated according to the boys own
fancy; if the taste is bad, they will be inter-
ested after a while in correcting it, There
should be plain book. cases, big solid table
in the centre, by all means an open fire, and
room after that for Joe'S printing press, or
Charleys box of tools, or Sans cabinet of
minerals, for chess and checker boards, or
any other game which is deemed proper. To
this room the boys should be allowed to in
vite their friends, and learn how to be hospi
table hosts, even to the extent of an inno-
cent little feast now and then. Father,
mother, sisters, should refrain from entering
it except as guests; and our word for it,
they will be doubly honored and welcomed
when they do come,--Selected

A Noble Resolve.

When the Disruption took place in the
Church of Scotland in 1913, all the foreign
missionaries under the care of the United
Church cast their lots with the Free Church
party. This threw a heavy burden upon
that Church at the very time that it had to
struggle for Self-suppOrt and self-preserva-
ton. But feeling that it was call from
Divine Providence, and feeling assured at
the same time that God would lay upon them
no heavier burthen than be would help them
support, they nobly braced themselves to the
responsibility. The missions which came un
der their care by this arrangement were To-
Gated at Bombay, Poonab, Calcutta, Madras
in India, and in Kafraria, in South Africa.
The mission to the Jews was also thrown
upon their hands. More than this; the
buildings that had been used by the mission
aries at all these various stations passed into
the hands of the other party, so that the
Free Church had not only to provide for the
current expenses of the missions, but had to
provide buildings for the accommodation of
the missionaries also. The whole amount in
the Treasury when this heavy responsibility
was assumed was 1927. The emergency
was met at home with great enthusiasm. At
the close of 1914 it was ascertained that the
current expenses had not only been fully
