The growing impression among evangel.
lcal Christians seems to be that less reliance
must be placed upon any modern patent or
sensational measures to awaken general at
tention to religious subjects, and that a
deeper personal conservation must be secured
among Christian disciples. We must work
more earnestly and constantly the divinely-
established means of evangelzation, and
with devotion must seize our opportunities
for personal labor among our fellow-men.
We must have warm, holy, well-instructed
church home; we must have sound, i'm
pressive, Scriptural ministry and we must
work outward, in every direction, from this
church centre. Then our work, although
not attended with so great demonstration,
Will be all the more permanent. The masses
cannot be reached by simply building meet
ing houses among them, but they can be
approached by consistent, active and holy
Christian men and women. But the great
want of the hour is warm, loving working
and consecrated church centres, from which
shall constantly go out earnest and effective
influences. Work the varied church APP
piances up to their full power, then pure
church will confront gainsaying world, an
active church will constantly disciple, the
holy church will illustrate the peace and Joy
of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world

The Power OF n Sweet Voice.

There is no power of love so hard TO get
and keep as a kind voice. A kind hand is
deaf and dumb. 1t may be rough in flesh
and blood, yet do the work of soft heart,
and do it with soft tolch. But there is
no one thing that love so much needs as
sweet voice to tell what it means and feels /;
and it is hard to get and keep in the right
tone One must start in youth, and be on
the watch night and day, at work and play,
to get and keep a voice that shall speak at
all times the thoughts of kind heart. But
this is the time when sharp voice is most
apt to be got. You often hear BOYS and
girls say words at play with quick, sharp
tone, as if it were the snap of whip. When
one of them gets vexed you will hear voice
that sounds as if it were made up of a snarl,
a whine, and a bark. Such voice often
speaks worse than the heart feels. 1t shows
more il-will in the tone than in the words.
1t is often in mirth that one gets voice or
tone that is sharp, and sticks to him
through life, and stirs up ill-will and grief,
md falls like drop of gall on the sweet
joys at home. Such as these get sharp
home voice for use, and keep their best
voice for those they meet elsewhere, Just as
they would save their best cakes and pies
for their guests, and all their sour food for
their own board. | would say to all boys
and girls, Use your guest voice at home.
Watch it day by day, as pearl of great
price, for it will be worth more to you in
days to come than the best pearl hid in the
sea. kind voice is a joy like lark's
song to hearth and home. 1t is to the
heart what light is to the eye. 1t is light
that sings as well as shines. Train it to
sweet tones now, and it will keep in tune

Good Families.

There can be no doubt that, as each per-
son now living has had a father and mother,
grandfathers and grandmothers, and so on,
everyone really comes of as old family as
everyone else. Moreover, every living eldest
son is the heir male of either the senior or
junior branch, not only of the family of the
man who first bore his name, but of progen-
itors hidden still deeper in the midst of an
tiquity. We so often hear of families either
dying out altogether or ending in females,
that we come TO think that such fate is
the eventful end of all families but this is
FAR from being the case. Every man liv-
ing could, if he only knew where to find the
data, count up from son to father, from
father to grandfather, from generation to
generation, until he came to Adam himself,
And this is the great difference between
good families and families of all other
kinds the members of n good family can
tell who their forefathers We're, where they
lived, and whom they married while those
who belong to no families in particular are
classed in a body as those who don't know
their own grandfathers, or who perhaps
never had any to know. The goodness of a
family depends much more on the number
OF its known generations than on any other
condition. Given two families in which the
numbers of recorded generations are equal,
doubtless the family whose members have
been the more illustrious would be reckoned
the better of the two; but family of only
two or three generations, however ilustrious
their members might have been, would GER
tainly not constitute what is known as a
good family, AS in the case of many popu-
lar ideas, there is some little substratum of
reason in this belief. If to be educated and
cultivated is an object of ambition, and if
there is anything in the doctrine of hered.
ity, it may be supposed that the members
of family who have been of Importance
enough to leave their names scattered on the
bank of the river of time have had better
chance of being, and of handing down their
good qualities to their posterity, than those
who were swept away 10y the tide without
leaving any mark.-Popuiar Science Monthly.

The Best Time.

My very dear only daughter lay dying
She had been thoughtful, praying child
having professed religion at twelve years of
age, and lived a devoted and useful life.
Severe pain at times almost took away the
power of thought. Between these severe at
tacks of suffering she looked back on her
childhood's experiences, and forward into
the blessed future, with equal clearness and
joy as she said, There's delightful clear
ness now" As | sat by her bed we talked
as her strength would permit. Among the
many things never to be forgotten she said :
e Father you know | professed religion
when was young, very young-some thought
too young-but o. how | wish | could tell
everybody what comfort it is to me now
to think of it," Reaching out her hand
her fingers already cold-and grasping mine
she said, with great earnestness +" Father,
You are at work for the young Do all you
can for them while they are young. 1t is
the best time-the best time. o, | see now
as | never did before. 1t is the best time
while they are young-the younger the bet
ter. DO all you can for them-while they
are very young."-BaptiSt Weekly.
