Work Faithfully.

A beautiful little flower, called in
Scotland the ouse-ear," because of its
shape, grew in lonely place by the
wayside. 1t was not very often that any
persons passed that way but whenever
they did they would see it blooming
away, throwing out its cheer and glad
ness for whoever might take them up
1t seemed almost, however, as if its
beauties were being wasted on the desert
air. But after awhile gentleman saw
it, and he took it up, and planted it in
his garden, and nurtured it, and it be-
came one of the most beautiful flowers in
his garden. So, dear young friend, even
though your life seems hidden away so
much that no one knows what you are
doing, work on faithfully. Some one is
being made happier by your bright, useful
life. And if you are. not advanced to
any high place here on earth there is One
who knows your every faithful word and
deed; and after awhile He will send
down for you, He will transplant you to
His heavenly garden, and there you will
bloom forever and pour sweetness on the
celestial air.

What Tom Did.

1t was the first clear, cold day after
Christmas. The boys and girls were on
the hill coasting. They were shouting
and laughing as loud as they could, even
those who had no sleds.
Happy New Year to your shouted
Tom Ross, as away he went on his pretty
sled. A brand new sled it was too and
his uncle had given it to him on Christ
mas Eve.
When Tom had been up and down the
hill ever so many times he suddenly
thought:
What great, big, selfish boy am !
Why don't ask some other boy to get
on my sled and have fun too?"
There was little Joe King; who had
no sled
Come, Joe jump on" cried Tom.
Hurrah here we gol"
After that Tom did not stop with Just
wishing people a Happy New Year"
he tried to think of kind ways to make
it happy time to every one. And he
was happier too.

his friend, at is coarse" So the dan
delion was pulled up, but its roots still
held firmly to the ground, and only the
leaves and flowers gave way.
This is just what / wanted, the ar
fist said as he painted busily. "That
moss contrasts beautifully with the grey
rocks and purple heather" At these
words the little moss felt very happy.
1t had indeed done something worth liv-
ing for.
Some months passed away, and the
artists friend came back again, this time
with lady, and he pointed to the moss
on the old fir-stump and said to his COM
panion:
THAT is the moss-clump that was so
much admired in Mr.. Grey s last picture,
he got fifty pounds for that painting"
" And sent it to the missionaries, said
the lady. $50 that clump of moss has
been the means of sending out the Cos
pei to the heathen."
Then they passed on. And all the
flowers spoke to the little moss and
praised her. Even the dandelion said
meekly .r ...-.-
You have worked patiently and done
something great. But l have wasted my
lite in vain repinings and regrets.
"There is still time to begin again, ;"
said the moss.
l do not know whether the dandelion
ever took her advice and began again.
but | know that from that time forth his
repinings ceased and he grew contented
with his lot, for from the moss he learned
that even the meanest has its place in
the universe, and. that God has made
nothing in vain ALExA EVANS.

Don't Look at 1t.

We all have temptations of some sort
the children as well as grown-up people
Satan is always trying to make us do
wrong; he is constantly whispering evil
thoughts to us, putting temptations in
our way, and if he can make US look at
the sill, he can soon make us do it. So
say to all Dont't look at it.
How often Satan tempts a child TO
take fruit, or take some sugar out of the
the bowl or biscuit from the plate
when no one is looking And sometimes
the temptation is to look into forbidden
book or box, or go to forbidden place.
How does Satan do it? Why, he first
puts the desire into the child's heart, and
then he leads him to look at the forbid
den thing; and, if the child does not
look away we are sure that by-and-by
ne will do what is wrong
Satan tries the same way with grown
up people. First he gets them to walk
IN the way of wicked people, and when
they do as he wants, he whispers to them
to stand and see little more of the evil,
and then by-and-by he gets them to sit
down in the middle of it. Oh, if only
they would not look at temptation, how
much SAFER they would be
| once learned lesson from dog we
had. My father used to put bit of meat
or biscuit on the floor near the dog, and
say, No" and the dog knew he must
not touch it. But he never looked at
the meat. No, he seemed to feel that if
he looked at it the temptation would be
too strong so he always looked steadily
at nv fathers face
a gentleman was dining with us one
day, and he said: There is lesson for
us all: Never look at temptation. AL
ways look away to the Masters face"
Yes, this is the only way do not look
at the temptation. Avoid it, pass not
by 1T, turn from it and pass away.
When the thought of doing wrong in any
way comes into you heart, however small
a thing it is, you may be sure it comes
from Satan; SO do not look at it, but
look up at Jesus, and ask him to keep
you and make you more than conqueror
over every temptation, through him that
loves you Children's Treasury.

The True Secret.

At the house where I was staying
there were two little sisters whom no
body could see without loving for they
were so happy together. They had the
same books and the same playthings, but
never a quarrel sprang up between them
no cross words, no pouts, no running
away In pet. On the green before the
door, trundling hoop, playing with Rover
the dog, or helping mother, they were
always the same sweet tempered little
giils.
" You never seem to quarrel" said
to them one day " how is it you are al
ways 50 happy together ?"

What Jesus May Say.

Two young girls were walking leisure
ly home from school one pleasant day in
early autumn, when one thus addressed
the other:
Edith Willis, what will the girls say
when they hear you have invited Maggie
Kelly to your party p
Edith was silent for moment, and
then, raising her soft blue eyes to those
of her companion, she replied
ella, when mamma told NE to invite
Maggie asked her the same question.
She told me it made no difference what
the girls said who thought Maggie quite
beneath them because she was poor and
her school-bills were paid by my father
and she asked me if would like to hear
what Jesus would say. So she took her
Bible and read to me these words: And
the King shall answer and say unto
them, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
one of the least of these my brethren, ye
have done it unto me-
All, little readers never ask what
this and that one will say while you are
doing what is right, but what Jesus,
your King, will say on the glorious res
direction morning that will soon dawn
upon us. -

copy of "Ridpath's Life and Trial of
