PERFECT FAITH.-A story was told of @ street boy in London who had had both legs broken by dray passing over them. He was laid away in one of the beds of tue hospital to die, aud another little creature of the same class was laid near by, picked up sick with famine fever. The latter was allowed to lie down by the side of the little crushed boy. He crept up to him and said. Bobby, did you never hear about Jesus2" ''No, I never heard of him. |" Bobby, went to Mission School once, and they told us that Jesus would take you to heaven when you died, and you'd never have hunger any more, and no more pain, 1 if you axed him." Il shouldn't ask such great big gentleman as he IS to do anything for me. He wouldn't stoop to speak to a boy like me-" But he'll do all that if you ax him." ''How can l ax hlm if l don't know where he lives, and how could I get there when both my legs is brokef" Bobby, they told me at Mission School as how Jesus passes by. Teacher says as he goes around. How do you know but what he might come around to the horspi, tai this very nightf You'd know him if you was to see him." But 1 can't keep my eyes open. My legs feel SO awful bad. Doctor says I'll die." Bobby, hold up your hand and he'll krow what you want when he passes by." They got the hand up. It dropped. Tried again. It slowly fell back, Three times he got up the little hand, only to let it fall. Bursting into tears he said, "I give 1t up" Bob. lend me yer hand; put yer elbow on my piIler ; can do without it." So one hand was propped up. And when they came in the morning the boy lay dead, bis hand still held up for Jesus. You may search the world and you cannot find a grander illus. tration of simple trust than that of the lit
 tie boy who had been to Mission School but once.-John B. Coughs Lecture.
