The Handsome Nickle Plated New Home Lamp
being introduced 10 the public this season, is the
most meritOus article ever offered Agents to make
money with, is safer, and more convenient than
the Student Lamp. which mas heretofore had the
reputation of being the Safest Lamp made, it has
clamp to firmly attach il to the Sewing Machine,
Piano, Organ, Desk etc. The fear of the ordinary
lamp being accdently upset or thrown form the
table, is entirely relieved by this simple clamp
contrivance. 1t can be adjusted to throw the
light just where 1t is wanted to suit the eyes, and
and can be converted into a handsome wall lamp.
1t has the best argand burner, filling indicator,
and convenient match box, and its price is within
the reach of everyone. 1t has been fully tested and
edltoIially endorsed by the "Western Christian
Advocate" IAN. Christian Review Herald and

ian Standard the leading Religious papers of
Cincinnati. and is endorsed by the Mayor and Post
Master of Cincinnati the Agent of the American
Express Company and Presidents Of Insurance
Companies, as being the Safest, Most Convenient
and best Lamp made
There are three reasons why Agents should seek
such article to canvass for-first for its ahso-
lutte safety and great convenience, IT is needed in
every heme--second its low price makes its sale
immense,--third it will be credit to handle such
an article. one southern Agent writes. it sells

B4OVES OBJECT

The proper and natural trellis OF love is
God; all supreme affection ought to fasten on
Him. What do l mean by God? In GER
tain s@rse all men are God. You know
Christ said, "He that does a kindness to the
least Of these does it to me" and so does it to
God, and when say God is the right trelbs
for our love, | mean all men, but also good
deal more, mean all existence; and there is
existence infinitely greater than all men, a
vital principle OF goodness, an infinite Per-
son OF love above all men and il we train
this nature OF ours (which will run and Irvine
somewherel, and make it tasten on God then
we shall be happy. And when our friends
are taken away then we shall not suffer such
terrible pains-when . son loves God and q
father loves God and they stand by the
smoking train ready to bid each other fare
well, why should tear dim the eye Of eth
er? they know they are parting Tor years per-
haps never to see each other in this life, but
there is no need Of sadness-the father loves
God better than he does his child and the son
loves God better than he does his father, and
so they both love each other nightly and
they know that God has work for both in
separate places and that God will be with
the other and that bye and bye they will be
with each other always, and they say
''good-bye" naturally without a tear, as il
they would see each other on the morrow.
But suppose there is no God for the heart to
love-suppose earthly friends were the only
objects upon which tie embracing soul could
cling then to have a friend taken away
would be like pulling JOINT from joint and
tearing in two the nerves and fbers of the
body. cannot understand how people who
expend their whole affection on child or
wife or husband or father can help going
crazy when that friend THAT Idol is torn
away | say there is something wrong in
that kind of love Ii / love | must have
something that | can love forever, that
know will never be taken from fne-when
one loves God above all things else, then he
| loves friends rightly. He loves them not 50
much for themselves as for God that IS in
them, and when they are taken away he will
| love them in heaven forever it they are good
and if they are bad God will make it all right
with such heart-such heart will have
| Him to love who Is greater than ten thou
| sand dearest friends. But when father

| child dies, do you suppose that father can
say straightwsy, "Thy will be done!" DO
