&c During the voyage TO India, l sat one
dark evening in my cabin feeling very unwell,
as The sea was rising fast, when suddenly TIE
cry OF Man overheard {! made me spring to
my feet l heard tramping overhead, but
resolved not to go on deck lest might inter-
fere with the crew in their efforts to save the
poor man. What can do !? | asked myself,
and unlocking my lamp | held it near the
top of my cabin and close to the bnlrs eye
window, that It's light might shine ON the sea-
and as near the ship as possible.
6 In half minutes time heard the joyful
cry, It's all right, he s safe, upon which
put the lamp in its place. The next day,
howeyer,I was told that my little lamp was
the sole means of saving the mans life; IL
was only by the timely light which shone up
on him that lie knotted rope could be thrown
SO as to reach him.
"Christian worker, never despond, oi
think there is nothing for You to do even in
the dark and weary days. Looking out into
the darkness, lift up your light, let 1t so shine
that men may see and in the bright morning
after earth's storms are past, you will bear
the swelf done when you will know that
you have, though unawares, saved soul from
death. RID. Spencer Compton,.

A FRIEND INVOCATION The Yearly
recently directed the following address to be
sent to the President of the United States.
There is a vein Of deep feeling and patriotism
pervading It's beautiful simplicity of language;
DEAR BROTHER Bound by the one sorrow
into the unity Of feeling, we feel to thee OH
earliest sympathy, being placed as thou art,
in tried situation, we earnestly desire that
wisdom may be given thee to fulfill all Thy
obligations to God and our country. May
not only lie mantle Of thy loved predecessor
rest upon thee, but may the spirit of our
Father clothe thee so completely that all
things may work together for good.
Remember that thou art the head of great
nation, we hope no longer divided by sectional
feelings but, instead, united by the ties OF
loving brotherhood May thy every act be
characterized by charity and justice, SO that
when thy term closes thou mayest have the
full approval OF thy conscience as seal upon
Thy labors. Let nothing mislead thee in
Judgment, but abide in that state where thou
canst Judge Alright. Let no obligation to in
diyiduals cause thee to lose sight of thy
duties to the whole people. Be fearless in
thy integrity. We trust thou wilt not be un-
mindful of the cause Of the Indians. Mayesi
thou use every effort to advance them in civil
ization and Christianity. We assure thee Of
our earnest support in every good work, and,
with the prayer that divine guidance may be
thine in all things, we remain thy friends

cheering for Garfield. None will ever know

person. All times and all places were to her
ai'ke proper Tor political discussion. Fluent
speech was supplemented by facile handi-
