A PuzzIing Situation.

There are situations in life which
puzzle even the wisest of men. What,
for example, is the best and politest
thing to reply when a person says
''thank your To bow merely seems
stiff and cold to say "you're welcome
provincial, "same to you" and ''you're
another" do not seem quite right some
how, and chow dye do" is absent and
awkward. 'Don't mention it," may
suit book agent or a ticket porter, but
we want something better for holiday
use. ''Not at sIl'' seems to imply that
the thankist is a liar. Perhaps the best
thing under the circumstances is to grin
gracefully and change the subject.

A Poor Christian Talked.

The Princess Alice, whose death has sad
dened all England, not to say the whole
world, for her lovely spirit and devoted
womanhood, was once great admirer Of the
infidel writings of Strauss. Some years
since she became completely changed in
mind. On being asked by friend when she
first felt that she loved the Saviour, she re-
piled, "a poor Scotch Christian talked to
me about the gospel, and since then have
been able to say am saved" This shows
that even the poorest has a work to do, and
will be blest in the doing. And that the
world will come to Christ only through per.
sonal ,oork-" talk to somebody about the
gospel" Not a letter to somebody, not a
sermon very likely, not a prayer, perchance
but personal, kind, earnest talk to some
needy soul, even if she be the daughter OF
Eugland's -Congregaiionaiist.

Silence to God.

The whole law for noble and devout life
is not altered by reason Of any new circum-
stance. 1t still remains true that a mind
silently waiting before God is the condition
without which such a life is impossible. As
the flowers follow the sun and silently hold
up their petals to be tinted and enlarged by
his shining so must we, if we would know
the joy of God, hold our souls, wills, hearts
and minds still before him whose voice com
mands, whose love warns, whose truths make
fair our whole being. God speaks for the
most part in such silence only. If the soul
is full of tumult and janging noises, his
voice is little likely to be- heard. AS in some
kinds of deafness perpetual noise in the
head prevents hearing any other sounds, the
rush of our own fevered blood and the
throbbing of our own nerves hinder our
catching his tones. 1t is the calm lake
which mirrors the sun; the least catspaw
wrinkling the surface wipes out all the re-
fiected glories of the heavens, If we would
mirror God our souls must be calm. If we
would hear God our souls must be in ST.

A Pleasing Incident,

An incident in Westfield, Mass, church
is related by the Springfield Republican, as
follows; "a pretty story is told of two little
children who went alone on recent Sunday
to church. They took a seat near the front.
and after the minister had got well into his
sermon the smallest child whispered to his
sister that he would like to go home. People
who sat behind them heard the little girl tell
him that he must not go without asking the
minister's permission, so hand in hand they
left their seat, and standing before the
clergyman the little chap lisped out his petit
tion. The minister was naturally surprised,
but without interrupting his discourse nod
ded his assent. That did not satisfy the
children, and again the boy asked permission
to go and was answered by another nod.
Then the little girl, fearing the minister
had not understood her brother, said, Please,
sir, may brother and go home The min.
lister stopped and verbally granted the re-.
quest, and with sweet thank you, sir,
and a courtesy, the children went down the
aisle together. The minister happened to be
one from out of town, and ne was after the
service quite anxious to know if that pretty
custom was common one in Westfeld."

JOyless Christians.

1t is hard saying, but true one, that
some professed Christians do not seem to be
happy themselves nor help to make Others
happy around them. Why is it so ? Is it
because they are trying to get ready for the
next world altogether, forgetting it is their
duty to make themselves and those around
them happy in this ? 1t is of great import
ance to learn how to live wisely and happily
in this world This earthly life is to be
lived here. We do not know much about
the other world if the heavenly gates are
ajar, we can only catch faint glimpse now
and then, of the beauty there is within. God
loves beauty in this world every tree that
waves, every flower that blooms, proves this
so it becomes us to make our own lives and
homes as beautiful and happy as within us
lies, trusting the future in the hands of God.
The religion that does not make us and
those around us better and happier in this
life is not worth having, and they that strive
to do this are serving God as truly as upon
their bended knees or in the service of the
sanctuary. Then, if we are ever striving to
make others happy, it will increase our own
happiness in this world and in the world to
come Selected

the voice of my prayer Now | expected
that David should have concluded thus
Therefore regard not wickedness in my

Blessed be God, who hath not turned away
my prayer, nor his mercy from me-" Thus
David hath deceived but not wronged me,

crown on his own, and he puts it on Gods
head. | will learn this excellent logic; for

gsms, that, whatsoever the premises be,

In the early days of printing, the proof,
readers were eminent scholars, and it was nc
unusual thing for the proof to pass through
the hands OF several of the most learned men
of the time and neighborhood before the
sheets were printed. 1t is related of Raphe-
lngus, a distinguished scholar who was en-
gagged in reading proofs in Antwerp about
1905, that he declined the professorship OF
Greek at Cambridge, preferring to correct
the text of the Oriental languages. Plantin
of Antwerp, and Stephens, of Paris, used tc
expose publicly the sheets of their books
offering a reward to any one who would dis
cover errors in them. But it is very seldom
if ever, that work is issued from the pres.
absolutely geographically perfect. In this
respect the Oxford edition of the Bible /,
said to be the most successful work pub
