Sense of Gods Presence.

The sense of Gods presence, or
the vision of God by the inner eye
of faith, as he has revealed himself
through Christ, mitigates our at
hictions and gives a new and dis
tinctive element of enjoyment to
our blessings. 1t is not a melan-
choly thing which poisons every
other experience. l. is not like
the sword Of Damocles, threaten
ing thing, that keeps us from sit
ting down to the feast. Rather, it
is itself that which gives the feast
its real glory; and the festival to
us is twice feast because He is
there. He makes the brightest ell
ement in our blessings; He gives
to US the real joy Of our prosperity ;
and when affection comes he niti-
gates it with his sympathy, and
cheers US under it with his fellow
ship. He comes to US, not as a
specter in the night, but as a
Father, to wrap us in the mantle Of
his love. "Bane and blessing, pain
and pleasure" alike, are sanctifed
by his presence; and no darkness
for us coull be so dense as that
which would envelop us if we were
to be deprived of him. 1t seems
but small matter to the material
list to say, with fippant thought
fulness, "We know nothing of
God" But his atheism is ny or
phanhood, and | cannot, will not,
let him rob me Of my Father One
of the darkest nights Of my life was
when ! lost my earthly father; yet
by and by that night ended in day,
because | 'saw God, and did eat
and drink" But to be deprived OF
God to be driven into the dark
negation, NO God, no God!" All
that were a still blacker night,
with no succeeding day; and moth
ing can drive me into such dreary
region of darkness unrelieved! No!
Thanks to revelation of Jesus
Christ! | have learned to know God
as my Father; and his presence,
unlike that of the Egyptian feasts,
has no terror in it; for I "see him,
and can eat and drink. "-Reu. DR..

Daily Bread.

When in the morning hours we pray
That God would give us, day by day.
Our food to eat, and clothes to wear,
We safely rest beneath his care
We know our wants Will be supplied,
For none that ask can be denied
BY him whose promises are sure,
And through the changing years endure.
If some receive more than the rest,
Itteaches us that God knows best.
His plans must be. They who are fed.
In turn should give this daily bread.

A Word to the Boys.

Dear boys, God wants you in His
kingdom, He wants you juss as
much as He does your father and
mother. He wants Your heart. your
love, your service. He wants you
to honor Him and live for Him.
Christ died for you, boys, as much
as for any one. His invitation,
"Come unto Me-" means you. You,
boys, can serve Him just as faith
fully and acceptably and just as
easily, as older persons. Serve and
honor Him in yonr own boy-life
and way be boy-Christian, Be-
ing Christian will not make you
any less happy and joyous; it will
add new joys.
Christ wants you now. Do not
wait to become older. 1t is easier
to give your hearts to Jesus and
commence to live for Him now
than it will be when you are old
err. Every day of delay may take
you farther from the Savior. Those
who "seek early" have special
promises of success in finding.
Christ wants you now-every one
of you who read this. Ask Him
to forgive your sins, however small
they may be, for every little sin
needs forgiveness, and He alone
can give this. Give yourself to Je-
sus now, and when YOU have done
this, help your companions to do
the same.-SuaShine.

4 Pleasant Call.

The Executive Committee of our
VIC. T. U. held a business session
last Thursday afternoon at the res
idence of Mr.. C, D. Merrick. We
are sure the members will agree
with us in saying We were all great
" delighted and p2ofted by the
GOOD words of counsel and cheer
from Mr.. Merrick' S father from
Chicago, who was present for a
short time.
Mr.. Merrick is one of the most
earnest and active temperance
workers in that most wicked and
debauched city, Of Chicago, and re-
lated some very touching incidents
of the work in which he had been
engaged.
He had only called in passing, on
a business trip East, and We re-
GREETED not having opportunity to
profit by better acquaintance with

Help Your Friends.

The man who takes friend with
him to the prayer-meeting is doing
that which will make the meeting
more interesting for himself. He
who gets new subscriber for his
religious newspaper is adding to
its ability to make it more useful
in his own household. There is
very little that we do in the way
of helping our neighbors that does
not come back in blessings on our
selves, teaching us thus the double
excellence of all true benevolence.
1t is the man who does nothing for
his neighbor who enjoys the least,
and who is most ready to criticise
and complain United Presbyterian.

How to Secure Good Husbands.

Among the Zuni Indians, who
have recentl Y come to the front by
coming East for ocean water, there
is said to be a social custom that
might be worth adopting in more
civilized circles. In Zuni-land the
houses belong to the women ine tead
Of the men, so man can marry
without first being obliged to buy
or hire house: marrying men are
therefore abundant among the Zu-
mis-, On the other hand, Il man
who marries can occupy his wife's
house only during good behavior,
the wife having always the right to
put an unsatisfactory husband out
of doors. This is a privilege that
would raise many an American
wife from abject slavery to. the
rank Of equal partner in the con-
jugal firm. But, whether for hus-
band or wife, the Zuni plan is an
advantageous one; it encourages
early marriages, assures every wo-
man of home, so that she need
not marry merely to get one, and it
keeps husbands in order, for almost
any man will behave himself if by
so doing he can avoid the onerous
duty of paying house rent.-N. Y

Polite Manners.
BY MRS. NJ. A. KIDDER.

Says Mrs. Grey to Mr. Grey:
"Our son must manners learn"
And so he went to dancing school,
Was taught TO dance and scrape by rule,
And many a figure turn.
He learned to stand up very straight
And turn his toes well out;
But one thing, il is sad to say,
With all his father had to pay,
They never thought about.
They failed in time to caution him
Against the drunkard's sin;
SO when he stayed away at night,
Lured by the har-room's evil light,
They found his toes turned IN
In toward the place where manners are
OF no account at all,
Where dimes and dollars buy the stuff
That makes gentleman a rough,
And fills his heart with gall.
Says Mr.. Grey to Mrs. Grey:
"Our shame is now complete;
You'll own it is the better plan
To train the mind and make the man,
Than educate the feet.''

How To Observe.

The first step toward knowing
how to observe is to find out how re-
miss one usually is in this line.
Copy as carefully as you can a word
or two in some complex character
which you do not know, such as the
Arabic or the Sanscrit. Be sure
that you have an exact reproduc-
ton of the headline which you have
chosen; then take it to some one
who is familiar with the language
of the writing. Unless you are a
far more accurate observer than
most men are, your friend will have
to show you that you have per-
versely exaggerated the non-essen-
tial forms and slurred over the es-
sential. Or you can test yourself
in Il hundred different ways. You
remarked upon the beauty of the
church building which you passed
yesterday. Can you tell how many
pillars clustered about its porch ?
Did you note whether they were Of
the Ionic or of the Corinthian or
der? Then that strangely spelled
word which you encountered in
your magazine reading last week
are you able to-day to write its
spelling of-hand, and to give its
meaning and proper pronuncia-
ton? You have been reading day
after day of the doings of the Brit
ish in Egypt: could you draw on
the printed map, diagram Of the
reported movements of both armies,
or even indicate the present posi-
ton of the British?
When you have found out how
careless you are in your reading Of
the things which exist and the
deeds which are done around you,
you will be the better prepared to
train yourself to habits of system
attic observation. At frst-nay all
through your course of training
YOU will have to look out for trap
at every step of the path; you
must be perpetually calling the
mind to attention. Knowing that
you are liable to be content with
vague impressions and general
surface knowledge, you must deter
mine to scrutinize everything strict
ly, almost painfully. When you
seem to yourself to have noted all
that is to be noted. stop and ask
yourself. What if / am asked about
this or that detail? You must be
continually looking out for what
the old logicians call the diferentid
of the thing-the something which
distinguishes it from every other
thing of the same kind. When
you have found that, you will gen.
orally have found all that is worth
knowing about that thing Sunday
