the Kirk of Scotland. Neither ought we to
judge him harshly for this. He was always

which his parents had taught him. from the

and loved it more and more as.he grew older;
so that when he approached bis death, he

" Need you ask ? There is bat One Book; :"
and when Lockhart brought the Bible and
read to him the 18th chapter of John, he de-
voutly expressed the comfort it gave him.
He died in the calm enjoyment of this Chris

A Little Every Day.

years, and give the measure Of our lives at

The life is at the last what the days have
been. Let the children, therefore, look after
the days-one day at time--and put into
each one something that will last something
worth doing, something worth remembering,
something worth initiating by those who fol-

1. Every day little knowledge. One
fact in day. How small thing is one

thousand six hundred and fifty facts are not
small thing.
2. Every day a little self denial. The
thing that i, difficult to do to-day will be an
easy thing to do three hundred and sixty.f7e
days hence, if each day it shall have been re-
peated. What power of self-mastery shall
he enjoy who, looking to God for His grace,
seeks every day to practice the grace he
prays for!

We engaged "commissiOnaire" to expe'

it would be exceedingly improper to introduce
into public address before multitude Of
strangers. But this objection takes it for
granted that the telling of personal expert
ences is the only kind of religious conversa-
ton. This is by no means true. On the
other hand, one may be in the constant habit
of giving the conversation religious turn,
whenever he considers it proper and edifyipg
to do so, without ever referring to his per-
sonal experience. Religious conversation
may embrace an almost boundless variety of
subjects. phe exhaustless treasures of Gods
Word, the wonders of His creation, His do

our particular Church, the multitudinous
phases of the great conflict between truth
and errOr-between righteousness and sin
all these, as we'll as individual Christian ex-
perience, may furnish an almost infinite va
riety of topics.
II is to be feared that the chief reason why
Christians engage 80 little in religious con-
versaton has not yet been brought out; but
the further prosecution of this enquiry must
be reserved for another week.

Successful FarmfnE.

The following excellent paper is from a
California source. but the principles in
general are applicable to successful farm
ing all the world over.
In building up an improbable farm. the
first aim should BIZ to stop the process OF
running down. to make it pay first. ex-
penses. and then slight. yet increasing
profit, and to thissend both thought and
labor must be directed. No matter how
cheaply the family has been living. if it is
possible to reduce expenses, do so. Cut
of everything except plain food, coarse.
warm clothes, single newspaper. Raise
your own vegetables. and save on the meat
bin. Pay cash As you go. Everything
has to be paid for in the end. and the
whole credit system is a delusion and a
snare.
Enlist the energies and whole nature of
each and every member Of the family in
house. BE proud of your utmost econo-
my; even study the economy Of other
men. Keep a strict and honest account of
everything about the farm. so that you
know exactly how you stand. This is the
most important Of all. Every successful
farmer keeps successful accounts. The
value of the account book on farm is not
so mnch las many supposel TO merely
show what is received and what is spent.
but to show exactly which field or which
crop paid best. and where losses were in
CURED, or too snail profits received. The
direct bearing Of such knowledge on the
Successful conduct Of tarm may be easily
understood.

EAi40a's Electric light.

The great feature of the laboratory. how
ever. at the present time is Mr.. Edison's
new invention for sub-dividing the electric
light. His experiments on it thus far have
proved it to be an entire success. The Sci
entists who have seen it. pronounce it Won
derful. and predict that it will displace TO a
large extent the use of gas. The profess
or's invention reduces the electric light TO
the brightness of a single gas jet and trans
mits it through wires from a central mag
neto-electric machine all over the city at
an expense much less than that OF gas.
Mr.. Edison. ordinarily very calm about
his great inventions. is on this unusually
enthusiastic. He believes that the prob
lem of electricity for she purpose OF light
has at last been solyed.-N. I. Herald.
