Ommend its careful perusal by teachers
who never have pupils commend each
other for doing well in any part of a
recitation. The habit of allowing pu-
pills to correct all errors often runs into
fault finding:
The almost universal custom of 4

out their hands, swapping their fingers,
and resolving themselves into mob at
every mistake in reading and recitation,
would be tolerated nowhere in civil

No better expedient could he devised 10
brighten the timid, exasperate the quick
tempered, and paralyze the spirit of all
but the stoutest-hearled child in the re-
citation room. 1t stimulates the critical
spirit into the public nuisance of an in

/ tiles. But IL Is utterly opposed To the
true spirit of the school-room, which
ought Ia be Il spirit of helpfulness, for
bearance, and encouragement TO the slow
and timid and feeble minded. There are
surely good ways enough of holding the

NOT OUR VIRTUES, BUT OUR
NEEDS.

The six cities of refuge were for the
Israelite and the stranger alike. They
were for every man who needed them.
But not every man was expected and
invited to dwell in them. We could
imagine a Jew coming to one of them,
and stating his case to the elders at the
gate: 81 am an Israelite, of godly
and reputable family. have constant
ly kept all the feasts and fasts of my
nation. l have never lifted my hand
against my neighbor, nor wronged him
of his goods. The elders of my city can
testify to my good character and I
pray you admit me to dwell here'
They would ask him, "But have you
slain any one p 5a3S
No; l thank God my hands have
never been stained with blood |"
ais there an avenger of blood pursu-
ing you? Are you in danger ?"
mo; l am at peace with all men
and all men are at peace with me-"
"Then," they would say, "this city is
not for you. 1t is not your virtues thai
are to commend you to our protection
but your needs. If you are not in dan
ger, you do not need refageF
And so with the sinner. Instead O

o GOD, THOU ART MY GOD
PSLAMS, 63:l

Let US try to enter into the secret of
these words, so short, so strong. so full
of meaning. They express all that is
meant by communion with God. They
are the undertakings of divinely-
taught soul, to whom God had revealed
himself in an especial manner. They
were not spoken by one that did not
know God, or trust Him. David says:
II trusted in thee, o Lord; | said,
Thou art my God" And again he says
in Ps. 11S: %. "Theu art my God, and
l will praise thee; thou art my God, l
will exalt thee When we hear the
Pslamist thus pour out his soul to God
we seemto be on holy ground, just be-
tween earth and heaven. 10 God, thou
art my God" Mine, my God; not
merely the God of my church, or of my
profession; but mine by a closer tie
made known only by revelation, mine
by being washed and made clean in the
atoning blood of the Lamb. Think Of
all that is implied in those four short
words "Thou art my God" All that
the creature can look up to in the crea-
tor, allthat the heart can love, or the
mind adore, all strength, all wisdom, all
power, the object of all worship, the
source of every blessing everything we
can look forward to and depend on. 20
God, thou art my God" How safe and
strong is he who can say this ! Where
ever he may be, whether in health or in
sickness, he has his God. He belong:
to One who is mighty to save. 1t mat
tiers not how humble and weak we are
if we can call Him our God, if we low
Him and love to say thou art my God
o that we all might say with the pslam
ist. 20 God, thou art my God"

The following direction for preparing
a shortcake for baking will be found of
great value. When the dough is ready
to be rolled. cut 1t in two parts. roll one
half of it the proper size. put it in the
tin and spread butter over the top. then
roll out the other hslf and lay on.
When the cake is baked, the top layer
can be easily lifted off, and there is no
danger of its falling. as sometimes hap
pens when cold knife Is used to cut it.
Delicious shortcakes may be made with
blackberries, peaches. oranges and pine
apples chopped fine, as well as with the
time-honored strawberry.

MAN, THOU SHALT NEVER DIE


Man composed of body and spirit was
created in the image of God-a son of |
God into whose nostrils Jehovah breath
ed the breath of life. Although we may
for moment be drawn to consider the
grosser elements of which we are COM
pounded. by the cravings of hunger and
thirst; yet, little food being admins
tered, few hours of repose. and our
wasted powers are restored, and the soul
starts up into conscious Immortality.
1t springs forward to eternity, grasps
the globe and aseends even to the throne
of God. Our thoughts may be for
moment contemplating beings all alb
sOrbed in the low, gross desires of earth,
and anon we are mixing with angels
and holding fellowship with the Father
of spirits. The nearer we approach the
Creator, the more readily we conceive
the fact that man coming from the hand
of God shall live forever. For though
his body may ere long lay in the grave,
and as regards mortality, we may be
said to be dead, although it may be the
end Of all temporal concerns, yet each
one of US lives in greater or less de-
gree throughout all time. Going into the
study of the minister of the gospel, we
behold him toiling and racking bis brain
that he may find some new idea-that
be may be Of lasting benefit to his fell
low men. Though the author may die,
yet he lives in the minds of generations
yet to come. While man was thus Gre
ated to leave such an influence behind
him-that it shall never die, how care
full should he. be that he uses the talents
with which God has endowed him for
the promotion Of the great end Of life,
namely. to prepare his fellow men for a
future life. We are candidates for eter-
nifty. We must give an account of our
stewardship, for we may no longer be
stewards. | know young men are apt
to seek to rise too high; therefore they
fall at the beginning of what might have
been their useful career. Let them cal

THE NOBILITY OF LIFE.

There is no action SO slight nor SO
mean but it may be done to a great pur-
pose, and ennobled therefor nor is any
purpose SO great but that slight actions
may help it, and may be so done as to
help it much, most especially that chief
of all purpOses-the pleasing of God.
We treat God with irreverence by ban
ishing him from our thoughts, not by
referring to his will on slight occasions.
He is not the finite authority or intelli-
gence which can not be troubled with
small things. There is nothing so small
but that we may honor God by asking
his guidance of it, or insult him by
taking it into our own hands; and what
is true of the Deity is equally true of
his revelation. We use it most rever-
emily when most habitually; our inso-
leuce is in ever acting without reference
to it, our true honoring of it is in its
universal application. God appoints to
every one of his creatures separate
mission and if they discharge it hon
orally, if they quit themselves like men.
and faithfully follow the light which is
in them, Withdrawing from it all cold
and quenchless influence. there will
assuredly come of it such burning as,
according to Its appointed mode and
measure, shall shine before men, and be
of service constant and holy. Degrees
infinite of luster there must always be.
but the weakest among US has a gift.

for buckwheat cakes, which was handed
down by a great aunt, an old Quaker
lady of Chester county, Pa: One tea
cupful of corn meal, two Of wheat flour,
four of buckwheat, two teaspoon fuls of
salt; mix all up with sufficient warm
water to make pouring batter, then
add teacupful of yeast. Let it rise
over night, keeping it warm. Bake in
the morning. Leave pint of batter to
set again, and you do not need any more
yeast the whole winter. Keep it cool
when not wanted. 1t may happen that
the batter gets sour, if SO, add. just be-
fore baking, one teaspoonful of baking
soda, dissolved in teacup of cold water,
stir, and bake Immediately. They will
