The noble missionary Motfat tells IL
beautiful story. lie says ''n one of
my early journeys | came, with my
companions, to heather village on
the banks of the Orange River. We
had travelled far, and were hungry,
thirsty, and fatigued but the people
of the village rather roughly directed
us tn halt at Il distance. We asked for
water, but they could not supply it.
| offered the three or four buttons left
on my jacket for drink of milk, but
was refused. We had the prospect of
another hungry night, at II distance
from water, though within sight of the
river. When twilight grew on Il
woman approached from the height
beyond which the village lay. She
bore on her head bundle of wood,
and had vessel of milk in her hand.
The latter without opening her lips,
she handed To us. laid down the wood
and returned to the village. A second
time she approached, with Il cooking
vessel on her head, Il leg of mutton in
one hand, and water in the other. She
sat down, without saying ii word, pre-
pared the fire, and put on the meat.
We asked her again and again who she
was. She remained silent, until we
aifectionatcly entrcatcd her to give Il
reason for such unlocked for kindness
To strangers. Then the tears rolled
down her sable checks, as she replied :
Il love him whose you are and surely
it is my duty to give you Il cup of cold
water in his name My heart is full,
therefore | cant speak the JOY | feel at
seeing you at this Out-of-the-world
place On learning little of her
history, and that she was a solitary
light burning in dark place, | asked
her how she kept up the light of God
i'll the entire absence of the commun-
ion of saints. She drew from her bos-

ment, which she had received from Mr..
Helm when in his school some years
before. This said she. is the fount-

A Glasgow Factory Boy.

Just above the wharves of Glasgow,
on the banks of the Clyde. there once
lived a factory boy, whom | will call
Davie. At the age of ten he entered IA
cotton factory as ''piecer." He was
employed from six o'clock in the morn
ing till eight at night. His parents
were very poor, and he well knew that
his must be "A boyhood of very hard
labor. But then and there, in that
buZzing factory. he resolved that he
would obtain an education, and would
become an intelligent and useful man.
With his first weeks wages he pur-
chased "Ruddiman's Rudiments of
Latin" He then entered an evening
school, which met between the hours
of eight and ten. He paid the expen-
SEES of his instruction out of his own
hard earnings. At the age of sixteen
he could read Virgil and Horace as
readily as the pupils of the English
grammar schools.
He next began a course of self-In-
struction. He had been advanced in
the factory from a ''piecer" to the
spinning jenny. He brought his books
to the factory, and placing one of them
on the '.jenny," with the lesson open
before him, he divided his attention
between the running of the spindles
and the rudiments of knowledge. He
now began to aspire to become a
preacher and a missionary, and to de-
vote his life i'll some self sacrificing
way to the good of mankind. He en-
tered Glasgow University. He knew
that he must work his way, but he
also knew the power of resolution, and
he was willing to make almost any
sacrifice to gain knowledge. He
worked at cotton spinning in the sum
mer, lived frugally, and applied his
savings to his college studies in the
winter. He completed the allotted
course, and at the close was able to
say, with praiseworthy pride, Il never
had farthing that | did not earn"
That boy was DR.. David Living

Brethren, you ought To pray to God
to call some of your sons and daugh-
tiers to the work of foreign missions"
This was one of Bishop Keener's say
ings to the North Georgia Conference,
at its session in Augusta, in November
last. These words, we know, started
strange and burning thoughts i'll some
hearts that day. Very often we pray,
"Thy kingdom come" Sometimes we
pray God to ''Open the doors of the
heather world" He has opened them
wide, and steam navigation has
brought them very near To us. We
have Just received letters only thirty
five days out after leaving Shanghai.
We pray sometimes that God would
''send out labOrers into his vineyard"
Well, the heather world is his vine
yard as surely as Georgia is his vine
yard. He does call our sons and
daughters to go to heather lands. He
will call more of them; he will call,
reader, your son, your daughter. Let
us change the form and say, he will
call our SONS and daughters.
Shall we say, "Nay :" God forbid.
When the matter OF John Wesley's
going to Georgia TO preach to the In
dians was mentioned to his mother,
she made this answer: Had | IA hun
dred SONS should he glad to see them
all engaged in such blessed work, al
though might see them no more in
this world DR.. Durbin used to tell
of IA MOravian mother this true story
There was race of parents that
could raise Il race of missionaries. Let
me give you an instance of an old Mo-
raVian woman. \ friend called upon
her with sadness in his looks. "IOur
son. said he to the mother, lis gone"
"ls Thomas gone to heaven through
the missionary life? Would to God
that he would call my son John.n
Well, John did become IA missionary,
and he fell And this time the com
mittee were very sad but before open
ing their lips the old woman anticipa-
ted the story, and exclaimed: "Thank
God Would that he would call my
last son. William :" And William, too,
went and fell when the noble woman
exclaimed Would that had il thou
sand SONS to give to God {"
"Oh, would that we had thousand
such Mothers" said Durbin; then
would our ranks be full"
But this is unnatural it is super
natural, and religion is supernatural.
If we, fathers and mothers, cannot say,
"Amen," when God calls a son or a
daughter to preach to the heather, we
have not religion enough. No matter
how much religion we enjoy" there
is not enough if we refuse To give our
''best things" to Christ Jesus, our
Lord. Wesleyan Christian Advocate.

A Clear Stream.

A certain pastor while out walking
came To IA brook where poor woman
was washing wool, and stopped and
chatted with her for Il few minutes In
the midst of the conversation the wo-
man exclaimed 80 my good pastor,
how thankful | am To you for those
beautiful words in your last sermon
You would hardly believe how much
good they have done me" The min
lister, greatly pleased, reloined "What
We're the particular words that helped
you So much r ''Ah, no longer re-
member the words. repliedlthe woman.
And when the pastor expressed his
surprise mt this she answered at was
with me Just as it is with this wool ::
the water that runs through it cleanses
il, and when it is clean and dry YOU
see no longer any trace of the water
So your words were like a clear stream
flowing through my sinful, sorrowful
heart: they Hghtened my grief and
carried away all my doubts. And now
that feel happier and better, and my
soul is trustful and at peace, know
no more just what were the words
which helped me, but know that they
were yours, and therefore | am very
grateful to you, dear pastor. = From
the German.

A good husband makes good wife.
Some men can neither do without
wives nor with them; they are wretch
ed alone in what is called single bless
edness, and they make their homes
miserable when they get married ;
they are like Tompkins' dog which
could not bear to he loose, and hOwled
when it was tied up. Happy bachelors
are likely to be happy husbands, and
Il happy husband is the happiest Of
men. A wellmatched couple carry a
joyful life between them, as the
two spies carried the cluster of Eschol.
They multiply their joys by sharing
them, and lessen their troubles by
dividing them this is fine arithmetic.
- John PlOughman.

4 Word to Girls.

Many girl is careless as to how much
money a young man spends for her.
Three and five dollars for horse and
carriage he can poorly afford perhaps,
vet she will go with him week after
week, with no particular interest in
him, ummindful apparently whether
he earns the money or takes it from
his employers drawer. He makes her
expensive presents. He takes her to a
concert in going to which usually, save
for her pride and his gallantry, Il horse
car ride for ten cents would be far
wiser than carriage ride for several
dollars. a young man respects a
young woman all the more who is care
full of the way in which he spends his
money, and will not permit too much
to be used for her. A thoughtful and
well-bred girl will be wise about these
matters.

Finland Dairv-Maids.

In Finland dairying is taught the
women in tho most thorough style at
government expense. In 1868 travelling
dairy-maids were appointed throughout
the country, and, being paid from the
public treasures, every inhabitant had
q right to claim instruction or assist
ance. Tbs next step was the founding
of seventeen dairyschools, of which ten
were. established by owners of private
diaries. Each school had q teacher at
its head, who gave theoretical instruc-
ton, and a female teacher. who taught
the principal part of the work. Each
school is calculated for eight pupils,
who are admitted by tho teacher, and
required to be able to read and write.
After q course of two years they have
to pass final examination in the pres
ence of members of the agricultural
society. The instruction given them
during the first year comprises animal
physiology, tending of animals in gen.
eral, the most common diseases of cattle
and their treatment, the use of the
thermometer, the different methods Of
cooling milk and their effect as to the
formation of cream, the treatment of
the cream and the making of butter,
the manufacture of cheese from
skinned and unskimmed milk, and
finally, booking by single entry. The
contract for the erection of a dairy
school with the owner of a dairy apply
ing for one is generally made for five
years. During the first year only four
pupils are received; none during tho
last. Hence, only sixteen pupils can
be fully educated during the term Of
contract.
