Helen Russell's Cross.
BY RosALIE HARDING.

of any man will come after me, let
him deny himself and take up his cross
and follow me, read Helen Russell soft
ly to herself as she sat studying her Sun
day School lesson in her pretty room
overlooking the busy whirl of Fifth
avenue, New York "Take up his cross, Z"
she repeated, thoughttully,. 90 dear !
what IS my one great cross, anyway?
wish l could do something really noble
take up some splendid, big, important
cross for Christ. But l really do not
see that have any And Helen glanced
around her dainty room, then at her
handsome dress, thought of her indul-
gent father and affectionate mother
then rose and proceeded to put on her
hat and ulster, for it was a drilling,
unpleasant morning in November. Run
ming downstairs she entered a lovely,
cosy little boudoir, where sat delicate,
handsome lady.
Good-by, mamma, IN off to Sunday
School. and after church l am going to
Aunt Armies to dinner"
Mrs. Russell looked rather displeascd.
What on earth you want to go to
Sunday School for it would be hard to
say; and it is very rainy, Helen"
Yes, mamma; but I'm well wrapped
up, so good-by," and Helen left the
room, opened the door, and stepped out
into crowded street An hour later
she is sitting in her class, reciting the
text over which she had so long pond
cred
Miss Allen, how are we going to find
out what is our CROSSE" asked Helen,
eagerly.
The young lady looked thoughtfully
down into the earnest, questioning brown
eyes uplifted to hers and one quick
prayer, Lord, help me to say the right
words, rose from her heart before an
swering. For Miss Allen was not many
years older than her class, and she felt
keenly her responsibility in training these
six bright sixteen-year-old girls with
their questions and comments
Helen had only lately become Chris
tan, and with irreligious, worldly pa
rents, her teacher trembled for her.
Therefore she hesitated before saying to
her favorite scholars, Helen, dear,
do not think you understand clearly
what the verse means Our crosses are
the disagreeable duties which we per-
form cheerfully and gladly for Jesus
sake. For instance, if you wished very
much to read new book tomorrow az
ternoon, when you knew your lessons
were unstudied, you would have a little
cross to carry. Any thing pleasant
but wrong-which we give up from prin-
ciple is a cross.
Helen walked home with serious
face
I'll ask Aunt Annie more Of her opin-
ion about those tableaux," she thought
as she ran upstairs to the room Of her
invalid aunt. Helen had promised to
take part IN a series of tableaux from
the Bible, which were to be given al
private house for the benefit Of mis-
sion school,
She had described the affair to her
Aunt Annie, who had said decidedly
she disapproved Of the whole thing and

Sunday Clocks.

Mr.. Moody brought the idea of those
clocks from Scotland. He found the
children making them there. He liked
the idea so we'll that he set the children
in his Sunday School, in Chicago, making
them. They are called Sunday clocks
because the children were permitted and
encouraged to make them on Sunday.
Perhaps some of your boys and girls
think that Sunday is dull day. You
would like to find something to do on
that day that would interest and not be
wicked. Well, suppose you try clock
making. 1t will at least remind you of
the flight of time, and the Importance of
improving it. But you begin to wonder
what | mean by a Sunday clock, and
how it differs from the clock that is tick
ing on the mantle-piece l will tell
you, 1t s.just dial plate like the face
of clock with Bible words on it instead
of figures.
Now get large sheet of paper, and if
you can't make a good circle for the
numbers, like a real clock, write them
one after the other down one side of the
sheet. Then take some word, as Jesus,
for instance, as the unit word of your
figures. Add another word to it for
number two-two more words for num-
Der three, and so on until you get up, or
down rather, to twelve. All the SEN
fences, short or long, must be about
Jesus. And when you get through
you will be surprised and delighted to
see how much you have learned about
Him. Do you understand the Sunday
Clock now? Let US begin to make one.
Start on the upper left hand corner of
your paper, thus:
|. Jesus.
II. Jesus loves.
III. Jesus loves me.
". Jesus died for me.
V. Jesus died for all men.
VI. Jesus pleads for Us in heaven.
VII. Jesus will come again to the
earth
VIII. Jesus will save all who believe
in Him.
TX. Jesus is the Way, the Truth
and the Life.
X. Jesus took little children in His
arms and blessed them.
XI. Jesus said: Come unto me,
and | will give you rest
XII. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who
gives His life for the sheep.
Another way to make the Sabbath
pleasant is to get up a Sunday album.
Take blank book. Get picture like
that of Christ blessing children" paste
it on the top of one OF the pages.
Then hunt up in your Bibles all the
verses that tell of the love of God for
children, and write them under the pic
ture. Get picture of lighthouse, anG
write under it all the verses that tell
about Christ and the light of the world
Get a picture of shepherd and his
flock, or shepherd carrying lamb
and write under it the passage about
Christ as a shepherd Get picture Of
well, or a spring, and write under it
all about Christ as the water of life.
Get a picture of cross, and write all
around the best verses you can find about
Jesus as a Saviour

Parties Recover Possession of Il Child by

Parties Recover Possession OF Chiid ny
the shotgun Argument.
Some months ago, two or three, a habeas
corpus case came up before Judge Il, n.
Aldndge, of the district court, wherein Mr..
and Mrs. h. f. Kaufman petititiOned for
the restoration of little girl six years old,
in the keeping of Mr., and Mrs. T. n. Cary;
The case was dismissed by the court, and
the child remained in the care of Nj. and
Mrs Cary. The story of the Carys is that
three years ago the mother Of the child,
now Mrs. kaufman, gave them the
child releasing all her claim to
as their own child; that they never had any
trouble with the mother about it until afew
months ago, when she married Mr.. kaul-
man, when they both came to get the child,
and she and her husband, having had the
little one for three years and loving II as
though il was their own, they refused to
give it'up. The Kaufmans then sued out a
writ of habeas corpus, some two months or
thereabouts ago, but failing to get the child
by that process, they supposed the matter
had been dropped. Yesterday, however,
the matter assumed new phase. Mr..
kaufman, a man named Arthur Resley
and an unknown man to Mr.. and Mrs.
Cary came to their house armed with shot
guns and by force took the child from them.
Mr.. Cary Immediately repaired to the court
house and, swearing out warrants against
the parties, Kaufman and Resly were ar.
rested A HERALD reporter having ascer.
tanned these facts, sought Mr. kaufman,
who said the facts as given were correct.
When the case comes up for trial new de-
yelopments may be made and further facts
drawn out. Further at this time our re-
porter has not to say.
