Grandfatler's Kitchen.

"My grandfather's kitchen was somber
room, ceiled and painted brown with huge
beams, high dressers, aud yawning fireplace.
1t had only two small windows, and was en-
tered by nine doors. 1t was in reality the
great hall of the house. What it lacked by
day was light and sunshine. At night,
frightened by roaring backlog, it was full

hanging from peg the cross-legged crane,
with its kissing teakettle; the brush the
bellows; the settle in the corner, aud what
ever else was there, all became fre-changed,
and were mellowed into the bright scene.
This room was by night the best part of the
house. 1t was always the true heart of it ;
the vital center from which diverged its in
dwelling life 1t was the place where peo-
pie lounged and fingered. Because its small
windows let in a few sunbeams, those which
did come in were all the more pernicious.
Because it was full of homely things, and
was as the woman said, most convenient,
it had inwrought into it, as a picture, a
quaint beauty of adaptation. Mellow, brown

What to Do With the Boy.

/ know a Christian woman, pure and con-
sistent, and yet that woman, unwittingly, by
her traditions made void the commandment
Of God. One day, from the breast of her
dead daughter she lifted little child, faith
erless and motherless. The child grew. She
fed him she clothed him she loved him ;
she sent him to the Sunday-school and to the
day-school. But she forgot that she was
seventy years old, and he was only seven.
She forget that he, with his youthful rest
lessness, wanted something besides the
primer and the Bible. And when he grew
older. and brought home his little games, she
didn't believe in them. And what was the
result He said to me when talked to
him" Mr.. Bowling, | must have amuse-
ment. IL bring those things home they
are put in the fire. Aud when he found he
could not have these things at home, he did
just what your son is doing, though you may
not know it. He went where he could have
them. And ere long it was the old story
Sunday school forgotten church forgotten !;
and the very woman who would have given
her hearts blood for him forgotten. Aud
when she came tottering to me on her staff,
her head bent, and the gray locks falling upon
her temples, throbbing in sorrow, and said

The Sunday Evening Service.

The evening service on Sundays in a
certain congregation was poorly attended.
People thought they could not come out
twice a Sunday to church. The council
talked the matter over. Their talk resulted
in pledge to each other that they would
never absent themselves, wilfully, from the
evening service, and that they would urge
every one they saw to plan for second at
tendance. The parents talked it over.
They found that their children were not in
the habit of spending the evening re-
ligiously or proftably, and they determined
TO set them an example of an earnest devo-
tion to spiritual concerns, They began
going twice a day the Sunday after. The
young men talked it over They concluded
that 1t was their duty to attend both SER
vices, and TO bring at least one young man
apiece with them. The young ladies talked
it over They thought that II they could 60
TO concert or party at night IL could not do
them any harm to be at church after sunset
They decided that they would all go regu-
larly, and take each young man with them,
The minister did not know what to make of
it, He began to ilatter himself that he was
latent Spurgeon. The attendance was in
creasing every week. Strangers, seeing the
direction of the crowd, followed. 1t became
the most popular church in the city.

Must | Join the Church.0

This was, no doubt, an honest question in
the inquirer, but it revealed an enormous
weakness. 1t was young person who
asked the question as he was looking out
from a world-life into the new life of Chris
tian. He had been lettering near the door a
long time. He was often greatly moved
towards entering. He had long ago learned
what Christ taught as TO the terms of dis
cipleship. The cross, the yoke, the confess
sion were familiar terms-even threadbare
in pulpit teaching and yet ever requiring
repetition. But this youth had marked out
by-way for himself. 1t was aside from
the thoroughfare of common Christians. 1t
was smooth, well shaded from the sun of
trial, and pretty free from the hills of diff.
Guilty. His religion he sought to put away
secretly in his heart His charities should
be known only to God. His confessions of
Christ were TO be 80 indirect and inferential
that common people could hardly suspect
the real secret of his life. In some such
state OF mind as this our young friend saw
his companions leaving him to join the
church. They were coming TO the front of
Christian living, and they were going TO
find out what cross, il any, might lie in the
path of open and honest discipleship The
flaw in his experience was revealed in the
question at the head of this article He
had been smothering Christian life, fee
BILE enough at best, under the non-commit-
talism OF secret religion. OF course there
can be but one answer to the state of mind
disclosed in this question. God may, in.
deed, make exceptions TO the privileges of
Christian life. lie may lay upon us what
disabilities he will. But aside from such
barriers nothing is more sure than that real
love to Christ is an outpushing, and not
secretive principle. God only knows in
what shades it is possible for the plant of
faith to live. lie only can tell how sickly
Christian life may be, and yet be Chris.
tian life. lie only can tell us how little
of courage and heartiness one may use,
aud yet creep into heaven. But the whole
Bible is witness TO the fact that Christ's
type OF religion is one which holds sincerity
and purpose and pluck. The fseblest flower

Growing Away from Our Loved Ones.

Not going away from them, but grow.
ing apart from them, which is surely the
sadder experience When those we love
leave us for journey, for an exile, or for
heaven, our hearts bridge the chasm between
us with hope of future gladness when we
shall meet again. But when there comes
"the little rift within the lutte, that by-and.
by shall make the music mute" we have no
such consolation What 30 unsatisfactory

possible as the healing of an intangible, un-
confessed wound Love can survive good,
honest quarrel, and flourish more thriftily
sometimes when a summer storm has cleared
the sultry atmosphere and swept away the
cobwebs, but woe to love when the frost of
indifference settles bligbtingly upon it, or
when two who started by being all the world
to each other end by revolving, like ivory
balls, in orbits of their own. Sometimes
this torpor of love, which is simply q slow
death, fall upon welded hearts, and then
the home suffers. Sometimes brothers and
sisters allow the crowding cares of life to
separate them. Sometimes friends give each
other up, and lose the strength and help and
mutual support which comes Of congenial
intercourse, simply through sheer iudolence,
inertia, or selhshness. 1t takes little time
