George and Harry worked in the same

over, and there would be little work to do
Turing the summer months, their employer ill.,

evening, that he could only give one of them

but it was the best he could do He told
them both to come back on Monday morning

to their boarding house a good deal cast

knew where he could obtain situation if he
was the one to leave.
That evening, as they counted over their
weeks wages, said Harry to his friend
"Mr. Wilson has paid me a quarter of a

1t his.
"How could be have made the mistake p

There is nothing like a good character

CHRIS1yS KINGDOM. u

. u CHRIs1,s KINGDOM. y
The word Christ, literally, means anointed
1t is applied to the Son of God, the Saviour
of sinners, with great propriety: He is called
Christ because he was anointed with the Holy
Ghost above measure and so set apart to exc
cute the Office of 8 prophet, of priest, and
of king. The Saviour of ,sinners isaa king
He is the king Of Zion-the king Of peace.
The greatest and the best of all kings. Being
king. he must have kingdom. His king
dom, he tells US, is not of this world. 1t may
have someof the features Of earthly kingdoms;
but in its leading characteristics, it is wholly
different from the Kingdoms of this world.
An earthly kingdom is of short duration !;
bnt the Kingdom of Christ is without end.
Earthly kingdoms are constantly changing.
Every change in the king makes change in
the laws and regulations of the kingdom.
Such is not the case with Chrst's kingdom.
It's laws and regulations, like it's king, are
from all mutation free. Never since the king
dom of Christ was first established upon earth.
has any new law been enacted, or any new
regulation been adopted. From generation
to generation, the laws and regulations of
Christ's Kingdom have remained identically
the same in every respect.
In earthly Kingdoms, the subjects provide
for the sovereign; but Christ provides for all
his subjects. He feeds and clothes them, and
defends them in all their rights and against
the attacks of their enemies Turmoil and
confusion characterize the reign Of earthly
monarchs, but the reign Of Jesus is reign of
peace and harmony. Earthly kings reign
over their subjects, but Jesus reigns both
over and in his subjects. He loves his sub
jects, and they love him. To his subjects he
is the chiefest among; ten. thousand, To him
his subjects are precious.

No boy likes to be ridiculed-especially when
a crowd of his playfellows are standing by.

Harry Jones. "You are man enough to

"No," said John, II shall mind my father.

"don't stand listening to bis preaching"
John went home prepared his lessons for
the next day, and joining in the home pleas
ures he had fogotten all about the boys. The
next morning on his way to school he heard
that the boys had been arrested and sent to
jail for being drunk and disorderly. Think
how anxious their parents must have been
all through the night. And then, to be told
that they were in Jail! How it must have
surprised and panied them
Don't be wandering in the streets at night,
boys. 1t is bad habit and nothing but
harm can come of it. Hundreds Of boys are
ruined through being in the streets at night.
John Mellen made a happy and prosperous
man, and so will every boy who fears God,
stands up for the right, and honors his father
and mother.
BOYS AND Observation-Disclosures are well
agreed that the use of tobacco by growing
boys is full of danger. Recent investigs.-
tions-especially in France-have demon
strated that whole train of nervous diseases
are to be traced to this practice. If you want
to stop growing, if you want to have set of
nerves that are like those of an invalid old
lady, if you wish to grow feeble and thin, if
you wish to grow sallow and puny-l do not
know any better way than to smoke tobacco.
1t will make drain of your nervous system,
which will be sure to tell after awhile. Let
US hope that if a thousand boys read this,
some of them will be saved from forming a
filthy habit which most men regret.
