How Hattie Became a Christian

She was only nine years old. I had
been preaching to the children, and at
the close of the meeting Hattie came to
me, and said Il do want to be Chris
tan how can 1 be?' and the anxious
look in her great brown eyes assured me
she was in earnest.
Hattie, are you sinner"
ooh yes; am very wicked girl"
What such little girl as you a
sinner? How can that be?..
The tears could be kept back no lon
ger, and she sobbed as though her heart
was broken.
Il am so wicked !" she said
&" Hattie, what did Jesus come into the
world for ?"
"To save Sinners" came the answer
between two great sobs.
Then if you are a sinner, he came to
save you, did he not p
"Will he save me?' she asked.
Yes, Hattie: Jesus, is waiting to
save you now. Will you go home and
give yourself to him to be saved?"
I'LL try" she replied.
Why did l ask her to go home to give
herself to Christ?
AhC nSAG dlOOIHOOl I4dlI1S was ~ SoSul
at the children's meeting, but her sad
little face showed that the question was
still undecided. She came to me, and l
said:
well, Hattie, did you give. yourself
to Jesus?"
e tried to, but I don't feel any bet
ter. | asked Jesus to take me, but /
don't know whether he did or not"
said to her,
/ think know what is the trouble -
and as her face was turned so eagerly to
mine, eking so earnestly the light,
added, " You gave yourself to Jesus, and
them took yourself right back again
Yes, that's just what I did" said
Hattie, as the truth flashed upon her.
Well, is that the way to do? Isn't it
best to give yourself to him, and just
trust him to save you? Will you do that,
and when ?"
ooh, now-this moment ;" and, drop
ping upon her knees, she said: 4" Jesus, l
am sinner, and give myself to you
and I'll never take myself back again as
long as I live"
That was all she could do, and when
she arose there was new light in her
heart; and to-day Hattie is one of the
most joyous and earnest and useful little
Christians in all the wide, wide world.
Will my readers do as Hattie did ?

one would cover his eyes, and he would
prick up his beautiful ears, keeping so still
that you could not see foot move till
he caught the sound of the faint whoop'

boy could hold him. Then wasn't it fun
to see him take the track for the hider.

sist on being the first and having her
own way. Her sweet face beamed with
pleasure when she could share her good
things, or help anyone. In her classes,
when she had to go above anybody, she
did not do it proudly and eagerly, but
with a gentle manner, as if she had pity
for the one who had been SO unfortunate
as to miss: and she would say to the
teacher, Oh, please let her try it over
again, and then may be she will get it
right
The teacher thought how changed lit
tie May is. 1t must be that my scolding
did her great deal of good. But the
secret of the change was not that. May
had not been reproved or shamed out of
her selfshness and pride. She had not
been punished for it.
This was the secret Of the change-the
beautiful secret: May had learned to
love Jesus. She had been taught by the
Spirit of God to hate her sinful heart and
to truly repent of her sins, and God for
gave her through Christ, and gave her a
new heart. She was no longer selfish,
and greedy, and proud. She was like
Jesus whom she loved, lowly, and loving,
and unsel6sh. Did she get good all at
at once? you ask. Oh, no; she had a
great many temptations and struggles
with her selfish nature, even after she
had given her heart to Jesus and wanted
so much to be his own child. But Jesus
helped her through them all, and made
her more than conqueror. And though
she was only little girl, blythe and gay,
she could show forth by her life that the
love Of God was come into her heart. l
think if she had been some grand lady,
very rich and very wise, she could not
have told the world the message of the
dear Saviour any more plainly than she
told it to her companions; day by day, as
she grew like Him. If she had been wise
enough to write forty great books, she
could not have told the story as well as
she told it in loving deeds and kind
words and looks. Oh, the sweet old story
of Jesus and His love- There are as many
different ways of telling it as there are
people who know it. Do you know it
Do you tell it?- The Interior

his errand. He had come to see young
man of his congregation convicted of for

but gazed with sort of defiance. He

"What have done?" replied the pas

language.

A True Story.
BY EMMA DITTO.

There was once a pretty little girl
named May. God had given her many
beautiful gifts. She had sweet blue eyes
and rosy little month, and white teeth
peeping out from her lips when she
smiled or laughed. Her cheeks were
pink and peachy, and the dimples played
hide-and in them. Her hair was so
golden and curly that the sunshine would
dance in it all day long. A very charm
ing little girl was May to look at. Every
thing was pretty about her except her
heart. She always wanted to have the
best of everything herself, and she wanted
to be at the head of everything. When
she played games with the other chill
dren, she wouldn't play" unless every
one would do just as she wanted them
70 and when she had anything nice to
eat, she always wanted to go off alone to
eat it. She did not always do this, be-
cause she was afraid she would be called
stingy and mean if she did, and she liked
to be well thought of. But she seldom
gave anyone bite of her apple, or sin
gle one of her flowers, if she could help
#.
May always wanted to be the first one
In her classes too and whenever there
was prize to be given in the school,
May would study night and day to get
it. The dear Master who gave May her
pretty body had given her fine mind,
too She could see into things with her
minds eye, and could learn very good
lessons She used to love to stand up at
the head Of her class and rattle off all the
States and their capitals, or go spinning
through long mental arithmetic exam
pie, which no one else could get straight.
How her eyes used to shine with delight
when some one above her would miss a
question, for she knew she could answer
it right and get up on it. The teacher
was very sorry to see May SO selfish and
proud, for it is better to have a loving
and gentle spirit than to know a great
many things out of books. So May was
often reproved but it seemed to do her
no good.
But there came time when May was
very different. She was quite nice and
pleasant in all the games, and she played
as the others wanted to, and did not in

Resolred, That the honor and
glory of the Republic, its con-
tinued peace, prosperity and
progress will be best served by
the perpetuation and continued
success of the Republican party.
We declare oar fidelity to its
principles as expressed in the
Chicago platform Of 1880, and as
further embodied in its great
history from its Organization to
the present time.
Resozred, That in the tragic
death of President Garfield our
country has suffered deplorable
loss, and the Republican party
mourns for one who consecrated
a noble and heroic life to the
vindication of its great purposes.
Resolred, That we have faith
in the prudent and sagacious
administration of President
Arthur and believe it will result
in promoting the best interests
of the country.
Resolved, That the presence
in our midst of a servile race OF
aliens, incapable of assimilating
with our institutions is a per
petual menace to all classes Of
society. The relief extended
to our people by the passage of
law excluding the Chinese by
Republican Congress and ap-
proved by a Republican Presi-
dent is a genuine cause of salts
faction. We are in favor of
strenuously enforcing the pro-
visions of said law, and we
pledge the Republican party to
labor now and henceforth to
secure such further legislation
as will permanently exclude the
Chinese.
Resolred, That we recognize
the paramount Importance OF
maintaining unimpaired the
free public school system of the
State. We shall defend it against
sectarian, political or other inn
proper influences, and we favor
such additional legislation as the
condition and wants of the COM
mon schools of the State may
require. AS free institutions
they should be so conducted as
to satisfy poer and rich alike,
and upon this principle we urge
the adoption Of some system by
which this State shall furnish
the text books at the lowest pos
sible figure.
ResOlred, That owing to the
remote position of Nevada from
the seaboard and the entire alb
sence of navigable waters and
competing lines OF railroads to
and from commercial centers,
we demand from Congress such
wholesome and effective legis-
latiou as will place our people on

better promote the administra-

ResOlred. That it is the duty
of the next Legislature to pass
such laws as shall reduce the
expenses of State and county
governments to the lowest pos
sible limit consistent with the
requirements of the public ser
vice.
Resoyred, That the earnest
attention Of Congress and the
State Legislature is directed to
the subject of codifying the laws
relating to the location and
working Of mineral lands to
the end that legitimate prospec-
ting and the development of our
chief source of wealth may best
be promoted.
Re3o1red, That the appropri-
alton by a Republican Congress
for the payment OF pensions to
invalid Union soldiers and to
the veterans of the Mexican war
is the discharge of a debt OF
honor and lava generous re
membrance of our country'S de-
tenders in its supreme hour of
peril.
Resolred, That IN the judy
ment of this convention the
Legislature, when next con-
vened, should make the neceS-
sary provisions Tor a convention
to revise the entire Constitution
Of the State; that in providing
for such convention, Well-guard-
ed restrictions should be made,
defining the number of delegates
their compensation, and fixing
the duration of its session ; that
we believe such convention is
iuperatively demanded by the
urgent necessities OF The times.
