" Here I Am

A lawyer had a cage hanging on the
wall in his Office in which was a startling.
He had taught the little fellow to an
swer when he called it. A boy named
Charlie came in one morning. The law
yer left the boy there while he went out
for few minutes. When he returned
the bird was gone. He asked, where
is my bird?" Charlie replied that he
did not know any thing about it, But, =
said the gentleman. Charlie, that bird
was In the cage when went out Now
tell me all about it; where is it?" Char
lie declared that he knew nothing about
1T; that the cage-door was open, and he
guessed the bird had flown out. The
lawyer called out, Startling, where are
you?" The bird spoke right out of the
boys pocket, and said Just as plain as it
could, Here l am All, what a fix
that boy was in He had stolen the
bird, had hid it, as he supposed, in a safe
place, and had told two lies to conceal
his guilt, and now came voice from his
own pocket which told the story of his
guilt, 1t was testimony that all the
world would believe. The boy had moth
ing to say. The bird was living wit
ness that he was a thief and a liar.
We have not all of us startling, but
we have conscience-not in our pocket,
but in more secure place-in our soul {;
and that tells the story of our guilt or our
innocence. AS the bird answered when
the lawyer called it, so when God speaks
our conscience will reply, and give such
testimony as we cannot deny nor explain

John Newton's Two Heaps

{" / see in the world" said good old
John Newton nearly hundred years
ago, 1.-TWO heaps-one of misery, the
other of happiness. 1t is but little l can
do to take from the one heap and add to
the other, but let me do what l can. If
a child has lost half-penny, and if by
giving it another l can wipe away its
tears, | feel that am doing something.

could, but let me do this little thing
In all this John Newton was Just follow
ing his Master, who event about doing

spirit in us.

ing the poor lame boy down the steps at
the Sabbath School door? We do not
know. But we thinkwe know something
about her. "By their fruits: ye shall

Care you one of them p who never did a

"Not to-day, but must have twenty

One of the lads passed over the change
and took the kit, and Tim went straight
to the counting-room of daily paper,
put down his money, and said:
" l guess | kin write it if you'll give
me pencil.
With slow-moving fingers he wrote a

A Boys Faith.

Two little boys were talking together
about lesson they had been receiving
from their grandmother on the subject
of Elijah's going to heaven in a chariot
of fire.
Il say, Charlie. said George, but
wouldn't you be afraid to ride on such a
chariot ?"
why, no, " said Charlie, I shouldn t
be afraid if I knew the Lord was driv-
ing"
And that was just the way David felt
when he said, "What time am afraid
will trust in Thee" He knew neither
chariots of fire nor anything else could
hurt him when God was present as his
protector and friend.
