Stune to Death.

We sometimes hear of person being
stung to death, but there are more deaths
caused by singing than most people sup
pose. A bee, in inAicting a sting, it is
said, leaves its barbed weapon in the
wound, and, being thus mutilated, in
evitably dies In ninety nine cases out
Of hundred, the stinger dies, while the
person stung lives. The bee stjngs Itself to
death in trying 10 sting some one else.
There are men and women who might
learn the lesson from this fact. If you
purpose to sting others, remember that
you may be more likely to iniure your
self than them. Your singing may hurt
others, and kill yourself. He that will
love life and see good days, let him refrain
his tongue from evil, and his lips that
they speak no guile"

The Sabbath a Loving Day

Mother, I suppose one reason why

Six Short Rules for Young
Christians.

l. Never neglect daily private prayer
and when You pray, remember that God
is present, and that He hears your pray
ers. Heb xi. 6.
2. Never neglect daily private Bible
reading and when you read, emember
that God is speaking to you, and that
you are to believe and act upon what
He says 1 believe all bocksliding be-
gins with the neglect of those two rules.
John V. 80.
3. Never let day pass without try
ing to do something for Jesus. Every
night reflect on what Jesus has done for
you, and then ask yourself, What am
doing for Him? Matt. V. 1916.
4. If ever you are in doubt as to a
thing being right or wrong, go to your
room and Eneel down and ask God S
blessing upon it. Col Ill II. If you can
not do this, it is wrong Rom. xiv. %.
5. Never take your Christianity from
Christians, or argue that, because such
other people do so, therefore you may.
2 Cor. K. II. You are to ask yourself,
How would Christ act in nv place ? and
strive to follow Him. John x. 81.
6. Never believe what you feel, if it
contradicts Gods word Ask yourself,
Can what feel be true, if Gods word is
true? and if both cannot be true, believe
Gods, and make your own heart the liar.

Boys, Read and Heed This,

Many people seem to forget that char
acter grows; that it is not something to
put on ready-made with womanhood or
manhood but day by day, here little
and there little, grows with the growth,
and strengthens with the strength, until,
good or bad, it becomes almost a coat Of
mail. Look at man of business
prompt, reliable, conscientious, yet clear
headed and energetic When do you
suppose he developed all those admirable
qualities? When he was boy? Let us
see how boy of ten years gets up in the
morning, works, plays, studies, and we
will tell you just what kind of a man he
will make. The boy that is too late at
breakfast late at school, stands poor
chance to be prompt man. The boy
who neglects his duties, be they ever so
small, and then excuses himself by say
ing, 1 forgot DON'T think !" will never
be reliable man, and the boy who finds
pleasure in the suffering Of weakar things
will never be noble, generous, kind
mana gentleman. Chris. Helper

off the young trees that tell you not to
touch"
"Well," said John, " Eve must have
had dirty hands, for she stole fruit in the
garden.
Now, John, said Mr.. Williams, can
you remember the name of a man who
stretched forth his hands to vex certain
of the church. thing that made his
hands very dirty indeed ?"
That was Herod, papa, when he
killed James and put Peter in prison"
Yes, and do you know who it was
who tried to clear himself of terrible
crime by washing his hands p
Both boys were silent, and Mr.. Will
liams asked again "Who took water
and washed his hands, saying: 1 am
innocent of the blood of this Just per-
son p"
Oh, that was PLATE, when he let the
people cruelty Jesus, said Harry.
yes" said their father, "but the
stain of the sin was just as much on his
soul after he had washed his hands as
before and it is the same with our sins,
whether we call them little or great; we
cannot get rid of them or their conse-
quences, however we try to clear our
selves. No washing of our own will do
it. So what must we do, Harry? When
you make your hands dirty with doing
wrong, how can they be made clean?"
God can wash them, papa, that is
what you mean-ain't it? Because David
said, Wash me and l shall be whittier
than snow"
There, my young friends, you have the
meaning of the text. Doing wrong makes
you have in Gods sight dirty hands.
Doing right makes you have in God S
sight clean hands And when you have
clean hands in this sense you are strong in
heart and mind and soul, to resist temp
tation and to work for God. Now 1 will
give you two texts about being strong and
being clean, and you will see how they
agree with what l have been saying. The
first text is John ii: "A: 81 write unto
you, young men, because we are strong.
and have overcome the wicked
one" And why were they strong? Be-
cause " the word of God abideth with
you, !. e., you do what Gods word com
mands, and you are strong in doing
good.
ne otner text tells that without clean
hands no one will be allowed to enter
heaven-Psalm xiv: 3, 4 : "Who shall
ascend the hill of the Lord (heaven)
Who shall stand in His holy place? He
that hath clean hands and pure heart. "
Now, young friends you will remember
the text" He that hath clean hands
shall be stronger and stronger" in all
that is good, till by-and-by you shall be
like Christ himself, always doing right,
never doing wrong.-Canada Presbyte-

She Saw the Doxology.

A little girl, ten years old, went up
Mt. Washington on horseback She was
ten then; if she lives till next summer
she will be twenty. The ladies and gem
tlemen of our party dismounted upon the
rugged summit, where the only vegeta.
ton that dared make an attempt to grow
was little stunted pale green moss, and
gazed, as those lifted up from the world,
into limitless space. Below, stretching
outward in all directions, lay deep sill
yer sea of clouds, amid which hghtnings
were seen to part and writhe like gilded
serpents, and from which the thunder
came up to the ear, peal after peal We
knew that down there rain was descend
ing in torrent; while on us< who were
above the clouds shone the sun in unob-
structed and awful splendor. The eye
wandered away like the dove from Noah s
ark. that found no place to rest her foot
well, Lucy" said her father, break
ing the silence, there is nothing to be
seen, is there?"
The child caught her breath, lifted her
clasped hands, and responded reverently:

Yes, everywhere nature speaks to us
and says:
Praise God. from whom all blessings
flow. "-E:rchange.

Grandma's Answer.

Dear grandma Benson was beautiful
old lady. Beautiful as picture, with
her snow white cap and soft grey hair
and the sweet placid face beneath it, so
full of smiles and pleasant things for every
body.
What the world said of her was more
beautiful than all, that she was never
known to speak III of anyone Three
score years and ten she had lived in this
world of vexations and cares, yet only
kindly words for others, and their faults
had escaped her, so full OF loving charity
was this dear old heart.
One day the children talked it over,
how grandma never spoke III of anyone,
and holding deliberations on it in child
ish council, resolved to ask her what she
thought of the devil the Evil One.
Now they said, as the result of their
young wisdom, she must speak i'll of that
wicked person So with this snare laid
to trap grandma's guileless tongue they
present themselves before her and put
the question, confident she cannot speak
well ol him, who is the source of every
evil
Grandma what do you think about
the devil p
Grandma Benson looked wisely at the
little group Of questioners, and then she
quietly answered
i think we would all do well if we had
his perseverance,.
Dear, precious old heart, full Of divine
love. She had woven early through the
warp and wool Of her life the blessed
text, Keep thy tongue from evil and
thy lips that they speak NJ guile.

" No Night There"

The following lines were written In memory
a lovely child who glori6ed the Saviour il
II death. Her last night on earth was one o
,eplessness and pain, and she said to her moth
"What long, long, night"
A weary little one, all night,
Had tossed in ceaseless pain.
The morning with its sunny light
Had walked the earth again.
Each bird was singing the refrain
OF Gods great care and love,
And to the world did loud proclaim,
His blessings from above.
The suffering, dying, little one
Heard not those joyous lays.
Her sands of life were nearly run,
And numbered were her days
With pallid face and lustrous eyes,
Illumed with dying light,
To mothers anxious look replies,
"Ohl what long, long, night
dear mother, read Gods book divine,
Before my soul takes fight,
And turn the pages till you find,
In Heaven, there is no night"
There is no need of candle there,
Nor light of sun or moon,
The Saviour's face, divinely fair,
Makes high, unclouded, noon"
No more we moan with aching brow,
All tears are wiped away
Dear mother, l am weary now,
My last good night I'll say"

What He Did.

At a meeting of the Portland Board
of Trade last Monday evening, D.
p. Thompson said that he had little
to add to the letter mailed shortly be-
fore his departure. He believed that
Congress would make liberak appro-
priation for improving the Columbia
river bar provided Col. Gillespie's re-
port two years ago was adopted. IF
the committee carried out the views
of the New York board of engineers
no appropriation need be expected.
One thing was certain, if any sum is
to be voted. it will be large. Con-
cerning the signal station, Congress
man George and he called on Gen.
Hazen, who readily agreed to change
the line from Tlllamook rock to Cape
Disappointment.
When he called attention To the
need of six stake lights on the Colum-
bia river as suggested by Capt. Bolles,
the chief of the lighthouse service
cheerfully recommended an appropria-
ton of $4,000, and the committee
adopted the recommendation.
Mr.. kimb IL, chief of the life
saving station, at his request, has in
structed Capt. Harris, of the Fort
Candy station to employ a temporary
crew until June LIST, and will ask
Congress to make an appropriation
iarge enough to maintain permanent
crew.
