What Children May Learn.

Children should learn to know that
there is in the heart of every one of us
something which tells when we have
done right or wrong, which makes the
color come into our cheeks when we
have said what is not true, which we
must treat with honor both in ourselves
and others. What is thisP There are
many names by which you win hear it
called in after-life, but there is one
name which we speak of almost in q
whisper, because we do not like to
think OF speak of it as if it were COM
mon thing. We call it "the voice of
God,' the invisible Power all around,
which also is within us-the Breath
or the Spirit of God" which we can
not see any more than we can see our
own breath or spirit-and because it is
so good we call it "the Holy Spirit of
Goa." And from this Breath or
Spirit of God" comes all the Good not
only in ourselves, but in other people;
and children cannot learn too early to
admire and love all that is admirable
and lovable in the men, women and
children that they see around them.
They may, perhaps, also. be able to
learn the great lesson that there are
things to be admired and loved in peo-
pie they do not like, in people that hurt
and annoy them, or even in people they
ought to avoid. And if, as sometimes
happens, children are brought up in
other countries, where they do not see
the people always go to the same
church, or utter the same prayers as
they and their parents, they may learn
thus early lesson which they never
will forget, namely: that our Heavenly
Father has those who serve Him and do
good in many different ways, but still
in and by the same Good Spirit.

The past, with all It's pangs and bitter strife,
May be the means by which thou shalt ascend
The stepping-stOnes into higher life.
Take up thy cross, nor falter by the way,
Remembering that each sorrow nobly borne
Is treasured up, and I'm the eternal day,
Shall shine Jewel in thy Heavenly crown.
Take up thy cross, and let thy prayers still

Take up thy cross, thou art not all alone,
For other hearts like thine some grief must

These will be lessened IL thou comfort them,
For they, like thee, are Gods especial care.
Take up thy cross, when twilight shadows fall,
And light of day thou oanst no longer sec,
