Helping a Fellow UP.

Tommy is tugging away at another
urchin who is pitifully crying on the
ground.
What are you doing, Tommy?'
80! only helping fellow up"
That is right, Tommy. Now, take
that as your motto through life, to help
a fellow up.
There is that drunkard who is down
through drink, and there is the man that
Is poor, or sick, or tempted. Give each
hand, and help fellow up.
What would become of Martin Luther,
when he was young man singing in the
streets for his bread, if some one who had
an eye to observe him and heart to
feel for him, had not put out hand and
helped fellow up? There are thousands
to day who never could have stood
where they now are if friendly souls had
not extended aid and helped fellow up.

How to Love Jesus.

Away off among the New Hampshire
hills stood the modest little dwelling in
which Nellie Stone was born. Here she
had lived for eight long years, seldom
going out of sight of her home; and here
one Sabbath day she sat reading her lit
tie Bible, and learning the next Sunday s
verse to recite to dear Miss Nelson, her
teacher, whom she loved very dearly.
"As the mountains are round about
Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about
His people" This she was repeating
over and over, with her eyes upon the
far away hills which surrounded her
and as she looked off into the blue sky
which stretched above them, she was
thinking about God and wishing she were
one of His people, and wondering how
He could be so very near to His children,
who could not see His face nor hear His
loving voice.
The little gate clicked, and looking up
Nellie caught sight of their old neigh
Dor, whom everybody called Granny
Carter from any disrespect, but
because she seemed to belong to them all,
and was, for all Nellie knew, the whole
worlds grandmother too.
Nellie sprang forward to meet her, for
she was both old and lame and not I'M
til she had seated the old lady upon the
broad wooden seat outside the door did
she drop down upon the smooth, round
stone on the other side, which was her
favorite seat
Dear Granny" she said, after they
had talked about the weather and the
morning sermon, II am so glad you
came Do tell me how I can be one of
Gods people"
Zone Of Gods peoplel" said the old
woman. "Why, child, how can any one
help being one Of Gods people" There
is nothing easier"
"Were you always one?" asked Nellie
little sadly. She had felt SO sure that
granny would tell her just what to do.
No, not always, child not just al
ways. But | can't remember when /
didn't want to love Him. Can you?"
"No, ma am" answered Nellie. At

well, do, then. He's been waitin

What's to hinder?"
"But, oh where is He, granny? and

mountains are in my verse then 1

manner"
Yes" said Charlie, promptly.
i hope my little boy has now learned
the third commandment, said auntie.
1t is lesson that none of us can learn
too early or too thoroughly. The name
of God is the hottest of all sacred names.
We should never let it lightly pass our
lips, or use it except with the utmost
reverence. To use Gods name in wicked
cursing or swearing, is fearful wrong.
And God has said that he will not hold
him guiltless that taketh his name in
vain
Charlie is a man now, but he has never
forgotten the lesson of his careless Eng
lish," and always remembers the true
meaning of the third commandment.

Charles Lesson.

What are you rafting off at such a
rate, Charlie boy?" asked Charlie Rad
cliffe's Aunt Helena, as she came upon
the piazza one Sunday morning before
church time, and found her nephew
perched on the piazza rail, with an open
book in his hand, the while his busy
tongue, as fast as it could move, chat
tered some sound like these
Shltunt axe thname
TblordtheGodn vain;
Florduut oldim gifts
Takthisnamin vain.
Over and over Charlie turned this
strange sounding medley on his tongue,
and Aunt Helena looked at him in a
puzzled way, trying to make out the
sense, if sense there might be in any of
it. AT last she asked, "Where did you
learn that gibberish, Charlie, and what
do you mean by it, pray?"
Charlie seemed surprised.
Why, Auntie," he cried, don't you
know your commandments? That is a
commandment. learned it out of the
Bible"
"Ohl' said auntie. "Out of Choctaw
or Cherokee Bible probably. I do not
know the commandments in any such
language as that"
"Why," laughed Charlie, "that isn't
Choctaw or Cherokee. It's Just well,
guess it's English-only it's the careless
sort. Mamma didn't understand it any
better than you did. She passed Just
now and said it was naughty to jabber
nonyense in such fashion on Sunday.
Wont you please translate your care
less English into good plain English for
my benefit" asked Aunt Helena, kind
ly.
ooh, you know il" said Charlie gayly.
ut is the third commandment: Thou
shalt not take the name of the Lord thy
God in vain; for the Lord will not hold
him guiltless that taketh his name in
vain
do you understand this command
ment ?" asked aunty.
ooh yes, indeed" said the little lad.
1t means you muslin t curse and swear
be profane, you know"
"What is it to be profane?' asked
Aunt Helena.
Il know" said Charlie, smiling, "but
I cant exactly tell. Wait a moment,
and I'll find out.
Then he ran to the dictionary and
looked up the word. His mother had
taught him to do this whenever he came
upon word the meaning of which he
thought he understood, but which he
could not define.
"To be profane means to treat any sa-
cred subject with irreverence or neglect.
To profane the name of God is to speak
or use it lightly, irreverently, or wicked
ly, and not with that respect and rever-
ence that belongs to holy things" said
Charlie.
Eyes" answered auntie. "And ac-
cording to this, it is sin against God to
use His holy name in any but reverent

from the wrong bottle, but immediate
ly discovered his mistake and tele-
graphed at once to the druggist for aIi

he should have taken just twenty
drops more. We are glad, however,
