Theology for Children.

What shall we teach our children
to believe, in order that when they
grow up they may find that later eX-
perience shall not alter " hat they have
learned when thcYw were young? We
must teach something beyond and
above what they have, see, or feel, or
touch. Goodness, kindness, modesty,
unselfshness, courage. these are the
best things in all the world. 1t is true
that goodness and courage have no
faces that we can kiss, have no hands
that we can clasp, Yet they are GER
tainly there in the midst of our work
and our play; and this goodness,
which, except in outward acts, we can.
not see, is something which existed
long before we were born. 1t is from
this that we have all the pleasant
things in this world. The flowers, the
sunshine, the moonlight-all these
were given to us by some great kind.
ness and goodness which we have
never seen at all and this goodness,
which is everywhere, is that great
power out of which all things come.
And we call this great power by the
name of God and because Col is so
much above us, and is so good to US,
we call Him also BY the name which
is the most dear to us and the most
above us of all the names on earth
we call Him our Father. When the
father Of children goes away from
home, still his children know he is
somewhere, though they cannot see
him; and they know what they can dc
to please him. And so it is with the
great unseen Father Ofus all. Let us,
then, teach our children that God is
goodness and love. Let us teach them
that the rules which He has laid down
for the government of this world are
His will and wish for US. Even the
frost and cold, even sickness and pain,
are for our good and We must trust
that He has sent them to us for some
good reason to make us strong and
healthy and brave. Thus you will see
in Westminster Abbey, on the monu-
ment of Sir John Franklin. who was
so long shut up in the ice, the words,
80 We frost and cold! o We ice and
snow bless We the Lord and magnify
his name forever" This is one way
Of expressing belief in our Father in
heaven but this highness, goodness
and kindness is like what we have
seen and heard of in the world Dean

Men of Grit.

The large majority of men do not
use a 1.-THE of the power they possess.
Their talents are mostly in a napkin.
One Of the wealthiest men in Wall
Street to-day, broke down in business
a good many years ago. He went in.
to an Office where he was well acquain-
ted, and said to member of the firm
that he had no bread for his family.
81 am ready to go messages for you,
or perform any other service" He
hung up his coat and commenced
work around the lowest rung of the
ladder. Previously this mans check
was accepted anywhere on the street.
You may be sure such man gradu-
ally mounted up.
Over in Boston like.minded man
fell out. He was without bread, and
soon would be without shoes unless
he wakened up and stirred his ener.
GIGS. He was bookkeeper. and at
one time earned handsome salary
What did he do? This he did. He
took cotton-hook and went down to
the wharf to load and unload cotton
at so much an hour. Behold another
man with grit. The owners of the
cotton and the ship eyed this hero.
Soon the decree went forth: Come
up higher. He resumed the quill and
laid aside the cotton hook. DiscOur.
agement never weakened the Boston
boy. Winners, with hanging lips
and chicken hearts, who cure their
troubles with the bottle or the pistol,
are pitiful creatures. who should never
have been bOrn.-Anon.

A Significant Story.

A wealthy banker in one of our
large cities, who is noted for his large
subscriptions to charities, and for hi,
kindly habits of private benevolence
was called on by his pastor one even
ing, and asked to go with him to thu
help Of man who had attempted sui
eide.
They found the man in wretched
house, in an alley, not far from tn,
bankers dwelling. The front room
was cobbler's shop: behind it, on 6
miserable bed in the kitchen, lay the
poor shoemaker. with gaping cash
, in his throat, while his wife and chill
dren were gathered about him.
we have been without food for DAYS
said the woman, "when he returned
IL is not my husbands fault. He il
a Woodworking, man. But he could
neither get work, nor pay for that
which he had done. To-day he went
for the last time to collect debt due
him by a rich family, but the gentle.
man was not at home. NY husband
was weak from fasting, and seeing US
starving drove him mad. So il end.
ed that way" turning to the fainting,
motionlcss figure ON the bed.
The banker. having fed and warm.
ed the family. hurried home, opened
his desk and took out file Of little
bills. All his large debts we're prompt,

about the accounts of milk, bread.

Disagreeable Sort Of People.

IT will always be a hice and lift
cult question to decide who are tn,
most disagreeable people in the WORLD
to live with. Our first thoughts will
be directed to the more ugly and
vonomous passions, such as hatred
envy, Jealousy, and the like. 1t will
probably be found, however, that
those qualities which come under the
head of foibles rather than of vices
render people more intolerable as
companions and coadju:ors. For ex.
ample, it may be observed that those
persons have more worn, jaded, and
dispirited look than any others, who
have to live with people who make
difficulties on every occasion, great
or small. 1t is astonishing to see
how this practice of making Difficult
ties grows into confirmed habit of
mind, and what disheartcnment it
occasions. The SAVIOR of life is taken
out of it when You know that mUthing
YOU propose or 10 or suggest, hope
for or endeay0r, will meet with any
response but an enumeration of the
difficulties that will lie in the path YOU
wish to travel.
The acknowledgements is to be met
with not only in domestic and social
life, but also in business. 1t not I'M
frequently occurs in business rela.
tions that the chief will never by any
chance receive, without many objec.
tons and much bringing forward of
possible difficulties, anything that is
brought to him by his subordinates.
They at last cease to take pains,
knowing that no amount of pains.
will prevent their work being dealt
with in Il spirit ofingenious objective.

selves, The better the thing We pre-
sent, the more opportunity he will

The best possible thing for man
to do when he feels too weak to carry

is in a state ofrest, in condition to
receive and appropriate particles of
nutriment from the blood which take
the place Of those which have been
consumedin previous labor, since the

Never put offuntil tomorrow what

another for what you can do yourself.
Never spend your money before you
have it. Never buy what you don't
want because it is cheap. Pride costs
more than hunger, thirst, or cold.
We seldom repent Of having eaten
too little. Nothing is troublesome
that We do willingly. How much
pain the evils have cost us that have
never happened: Take things al,

angry, count ten before you speak;
If very angry, count a hundred.
