On The Spot.

On bitter Winter night, many years
ago, two persons stood talking together
at the corner of street in New York
One of them (who had been bred as a
mechanic) was warm-hearted Sabbath
School teacher He so loved to do good
that he never lost an opportunity to say
a iudicious and faithful word for his
Master.
The other person was young fellow
from the country who had come into
New York 10 earn his living, but was in
great danger of falling into the traps of
the drinking-saloon and the dance halls
The older man stood and pleaded with
the younger one to decide there on the
spot to begin life of service to God. The
wind howled through the street and blew
the snow in their faces, but the good man
held on, and kept saying, Now is the
time, and God is, through my words, call
ing you to decide.
An hour passed. The storm howled
on but the teacher was SO much in earn
est that he did not mind the cold AT
length IL e youth said, Mr.. P, 1 will
decide for God tonight. will give my
self to Christ and to his service.
Nobly did he keep his promise. He
not only became devotedly religious
man, but he determined to enter college
and prepare to preach to others the glad
message he himself had accepted. By
and by he came back to New York, and
was so useful preacher that nearly two
thousand persons were won to his Master
by his persuasions. He is an old man
now but when saw him a few weeks
ago he was as happy as lark. All his
long, useful, and honored life has turned
on that Winter night talk at the street
corner, when he decided on the spot to
heed Gods message.
1t does not take much time to make a
right start when you are in earnest. What
that young man did was to give himself
to a divine Master. His reason was con
WINGED that he would be better man
and a nobler man, il he did what it is the
duty of every person to do, and that Ii
to acknowledge God S claims for love and
obedience, and accept them as his rule o.
! life. It then took him no more time t.
say yes, than it would have taken him t.
say no. When anything to be done II
right, the quicker you do it the better.
One of the greatest generals in tn
world was asked how he had gained 81
many victories. His answer was, B,
never putting anything off. Younl
friends, you will conquer evil and VIII
heaven at last, if you will resolve Away

Everybody Surprised but Addie

One first of April the girls and boys in
Miss Teachem's primary school had been
having merry time.
Freddy Boyce had pinned long curled
shaving to Tommy Browns new Jacket
and Tommy had walked proudly about
the play ground good while before he
found it out; Mary Lee had sent Carrie
Lee to the front gate to see somebody
very particular" and somebody very
particular" had proved to be Bounce the
big dog, that lived next door. Kitty
Clover had told Sarah Ref " to open her
eyes and shut her mouth for something
good" and then ran slyly away, leaving
Sarah standing under the grape-arbor
looking silly enough. 1t was just then
that Addie Winwill said
40 girls, I'm going to play trick on
Margery Hall. You know her folks are
SO poor she never brings anything for
lunch but slice of bread and butter in a
strawberry basket. She won be out for
ten minutes, cause she's kept in for not
knowing her Biography. And I'm going
to take her bread and give it to Bounce,
and we'll see how funny she'll look when
she can't find it.
Oh, don't, Addict" said some Of the
girls and boys. She'll be so hungry,
poor little thing"
Do, Addie, said the others it'll be
such fun -
And away went Addie to the closet
where the strawberry basket hung, under
Margery's hat and shawl, and in mo-
ment or two she came back with the
bread and threw it over the fence tc
Bounce, who swallowed it in a moment.
Shame !" cried those who had said
DON'T
But those who had said IDOL" began
to laugh, and they laughed loudly when
they saw Margery coming out with her
basket And as she lifted the napkin
they shouted, April fool !" But much
to their surprise, the brightest of smiles
shone on the child's pale face. And no
wonder. The slice Of bread was gone, to
be sure; but in its place was nice biscuit
sandwich, thick piece Of raisin cake, a
large orange, and a paper Of chocolate
caramels.
Then came the turn of the " Don't
girls and boys, as she took these things
out, one after another, to laugh and
shout April fool r. while the 4" Dc" par.
ty said never word, but looked at Addit
Winwill as though they'd all like to SLAP
her.
Slap her, indeed Hers was the only
really pleasant frst-of- April joke 1 evei
heard Of Wide-AUake.

An Incident.

One evening last Christmas gentle
man was strolling along street in Toron-
to with apparently no object in view but
to pass the time. His attention was at
tracted by the remark Of little girl to a
companion in front Of fruit stand d" /
wish ] had an orange for ma" The gen
tleman saw that the children, though
poorly dressed, were cleap and neat, and
calling them into the store he loaded
them with fruit and candies. What's
your name asked one Of the girls. Why
do you want to know queued the gen
tleman. Il want to pray for you, was
the reply. The gentleman turned to
leave, scarce daring to speak, when the
little one added "Well, it don't matter,
! suppose. God will know you, anyhow.

Mr.. Moody and the Children.

Mr.. Moody gave the children of Glas-
Cow, Scotland, striking object-lesson in
one Of the recent childrens meetings in
that city. Producing from his pocket
half dozen reels of white thread, he paid
them out among the audience until the
white threads were stretched along the
galleries and from bench to bench He
gave no explanation of the meaning of
this procedure until the process was com
pleted, and by that time the curiosity Of
the children was fully reused Could
any boy or girl break that thread ?" asked
Mr.. Moody Yes, yes" came up from
all parts of the hall. Break it to bits,
then, said Mr. Moody, and in an instant
the thread was torn to pieces. Then Mr.
Moody went on Although that thread
is very little thing,-a thing which even
child can break,-I could bind the
strongest man with it. could wind it
round and round him until he was help
less prisoner, and he could never break
it and escape" Following up on this
line, Mr.. Moody gave a short and impress
sive talk on little sins, retaining the chill
dren' serious and eager attention to the
close. The general work in Glasgow is
progressing admirably. Both evangelists
have declined for the present the recent
invitation to begin work in London. They
do not feel that their work in the North
