A Sermon for the Little Folks.

eff We know these things, happy are
We if We do them" John xiii. II.
|. These things" that is your
duties, wherever you are:
|. At home, obedience and respect
to parents, and kindness to brothers
sisters and servants.
9. At $, hool, respect to teachers,
and faithfulness in study, and fair
ness in play.
3. At church; be quiet, listen
worship. and give your hearts to
the Saviour.
4. On the street, good manners,
kindness, minding your own busl-
ness.
II. How should you dOyour duty?
|. Not for pay. Some always ask
What vii. YOU give me-?
D. Dat rom love. 80 the saviour dld
when a boy at Nazareth. SO the
angels do Gods will (Which is only
another name for duty. This will
make YOU do it cheerfulIy.
3. Better every day. BY trying to
do your duties, you will become
more skillful. So you improve in
reading, writing, and music, Peter
says, Grow in grace.
Ill. Doing duty makes you hap
py. Sin cannot make you happy.
Sin did not make Eve happy, nor
Cain, nor Judas. Disobedience ut
home does not make You happy;
idleness, unkindness, bad manners,
no kind of sin can make you happy.
But happiness comes from doing
your duty. That is Gods reward.
This is the promise in the text.
Think fthis every day for just one
week and see how true it is.
Try, then, to know YOUR duty.
Be faithful in doing it for love to
God and man; then you will be hap
py every day on earth, and forever
happy in heaven.

The Needful Thing.

"Let not your heart be troubled; ye
believe in God, believe also i'll me-
This verse is rich in precious truth.
For eighteen centuries it has been pecu-
liarly dear to Christ believing servants
in every part of the world. Many are
the sick rooms which it has lightened!
Many are the dying hearts whicn it has
cheeredl We have here precious rem
edy against an old disease is troubled
of heart. That remedy is faith.
Heart trouble is the commonest
thing in the world. No rank, or class
or condition is exempt from it. No
bars, no bolts or locks can keep it out.
Partly from inward causes and partly
from outward partly from the body
and partly from the Municipality from
what we love and partly from what we
fear, the journey of life is full of troub~
lie. Even the best of Christians have
many bitter cups to drink between
grace and glory; even the honest SAINTS
find the world vale of tears.
Faith in the Lord Jesus is the only
sure:mediclne for troubled hearts. To
believe more thoroughly, trust more en-
tirely, rest more unreservedly, lay hold
more firmly, lean back more completely
this is the prescription which our
Mastes urges on the attention of all
His disciples. No doubt the membe
of that little band which sat around the
table at the last supper had believed
already. They had proved the reality
of their faith by giving up everything for
Christ's sake. Yet what does their
Lord say to them here? Once more he
presses on them the old lesson, the les
son with which they first began: Be
lieve! Believe more! Believe on me-"
Never let us forget that there are de-
grees in faith, and that there is a wide
difference between weak and strong be-
levers. The weakest faith is enough
to give man saving interest in Christ,
and ought not to be despised; but it
will not give men such inward .eom-
fort as strong faith. Vagueness and
dimness of perception are the defect of
weak believers. They do not see clear
ly what they believe. In such cases
more faith is the one thing needful.
Like Peter on the water, they needed
to look more steadily at Jesus. and less
at the waves and winds. Is it not writ
ten, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect
peace, whose mind is stayed on thee?"

Hands Off.

Read what Olive Logan says: '&
woman's safeguard is to keep a mans
hands off of her. If You need his
assistance in walking, take his arm
instead of his taking yours. just
tell him in plain English ito keep
his hands off" He may not like it
at the time, but he will respect you
in the future tenfold the more.
Men will be and do just what the
women allow them to do. Men Will
not do to trust. Give a man your
arm and you will find him very con
fidential, and he will take a great
many privilegs he would not take if
he was not permitted to do so. lie
will give your arm many loving
squeezes and sly twists that he could
have no opportunity of doing, and
the opportunity isl just what he is
after. A few more words of advice,
and l close. Keep young girls OFF
the street except when they have
business. Teach them it is. unnec-
cessary to go to the postotfice every
time they go out. Your girls can
walk alone just as well as your boys.
Don't allow your girls, if they must
have a beau. to 90 with boys much
older than themselves. If possible,
instill into their very nature that
they are safer in their own hands
than they are in the hands Of any
man-preachers not excepted"

Wnat the People Pay.

The Southern Presbyterian complies
from the census returns of 1870, some
very curious facts facts which would
startle the country, indeed, if the
country would bntMstop and think.
The figures show that the people OF the
United States pay annually as stated
below:

ters of the gospel of all denomina-
tions.
$40. 900, 900 for the support OF all
criminals.

Easy Places.

Thousands Of men spend their
lives in searching for easy places.
There is universal desire to escape
labor; and men suppose, generally
that there are thousands Of Occupa-
tions mach less burdcnsome than
their own. Hence they are always
restless. And they are constantly
changing. The truth is that there
is no easy place. Labor, hard. earn
est labor, is the condition Of success
in any place or sphere Of life. And
this 5 true of the divine as it is Of
the ordinary life. The seed sowing
must precede the harvest; and the
feasting. The cross bearing, and
then the crown: the battle and then
the victory. This is the history Of
Christian life There is no repoSc
during the Christians life. Rest
comes after death. Jesus makes no
easy place for His people. His ar
rangements is that they shall suffer
with him, before they can be glori-
fed. An easy place! Why the very
thought ought to mantle the Chris
tian's face with shame. In view of
the promised glory, he ought to fly
