"By their fruits We shall know them
Not So much 10y the quantity rs by the
quality. Many of us feel discouraged
that we cannot do great things for the
Master: but remember, the clusters of
the vine are made up of small fruit. A

" and needs cheering, these are little
fruits. but they form Il rich, sweet clus-
ter. and glorify the Father.
1t seems to me, too, that many lives
are barren of blossom or fruit, though
beautiful to look at. They are like
some window plants, full of beautiful
leaves vet we know they should bear
blossoms, and they are, in spite of their
freshness, a disappointment. Are not
many mothers living such lives Their
children are well trained, they look
well to their households, and all is so
well ordered that we are attracted to
them,-but there it ends: there is no
study of Gods word, no reference to
higher things, no systematic work for
the poor and afflicted. Such people are
very hard to rouse; they are so nearly
perfect that they do not realize their
own harrcuness they forget that the
Lord of the vineyard looks for fruit,
not icdUcs.
"But how can | distinguish between
fruit and leaves in my own life ?" asks
a friend. 1t seems to me the difference
is all in the motive. DO you do a kind
action Just because you happen to feel
i'm the mood, or because you see the ac-
tion is needed, and you are glad to do
it for Christ's sake DO You train your
children to give to the poor, to visit
the sick, to deny themselves, because
Jesus asks this of them, or do yOu only
show charity when some particular

perfect of its kind, and steadily, year

the back of the pew in frCnt. All,
that's comfort. 1t lasts ninety seconds,
when he abruptly straightens up, ele-
Yates both arms, and hooks his elbows
over the back of his pew. That isn't
what he wants his legs are tired; he
reaches for the hassOck with both feet,
upsets it, and in frantic effort to stay
it, kicks it against the pew. Covered
with burning embarrassment he pulls
out his watch twice or thrice without
once looking at it. He folds his arms
across his breast, then he crosses them
behind his back; he thrusts his hands
into his pockets, he drops a Bible on
the floor and puts his feet into his hat,
and at times you look to see him go
all to pieces, but he doesn't. He stays
together and comes back next Sunday,
every limb and Joint of him.
". THE WATCHER.-His neck is
fitted on IA globe socket and turns clear
around. He sees everything that goes
on. The man who comes i'll late does
not escape him, and it is vain for the
tenor to think he got that little note to
the alto conveyed between the leaves
of the hymn book unObserved. The
watcher saw it. He sees the hole in
the quarter that Elder Skinner dropped
in the plate. He sees that Deacon Slow
boy has on but one cuff If the door
swings he looks around if the window
moves noiselessly he looks up. He sees
the stranger in his neighbours pew, and
he sees Brother Badman sitting away
back under the gallery, furtively take
a chew of the inhibited fine-cut. All
things that nobody wants him to see
the watcher sees. He sees so much
that he has no time to listen.

pew is too high, so he settles down

Increase Of sunday Excursions.

The progress of Sabbath Dissertation,
writes Providence correspondent, is
very marked from year to year as the
reaction season returns. Ten years
ago no steamboat stirred the waters of
the Narragansett on the Lords day. A
few years later, in a very quiet man
ncr, now and then an excursion boat
was run, not without an expression of
holy horror on the part of Sabbath
keeping people. Another season and
regular trips were advertised and made.
Even the great boats of the New York
line went to the Vineyard with a crowd
now and then. This year the boats,
great and small run; flaming posters
announce the fact, the band of music is
on board to give sacred concert. The
shore resorts are open and crowded for
the most part, and the clam-bake is
served in all the array of a holiday.
The camel is III head and rump, and
those. of course, who care nothing for
the Sabbath love To have ii so.
