Sunday-SchOOl Spectacles.

A superintendent who was remark
able for his happy manner of illustrat-
ing the lessons in his closing talks ex-
planned the secret of it by saying that
he went through the week with his
Sunday-school spectacles on. His mean
ing was that he filled his mind with
the succeeding lesson early in the
week, and was on the lookout from
day to day for such things as would IL
lustrate the points he desired to make.
And it is wonderful how rich is the
field Of daily life with suitable and apt
illustrations if only one has something
clear in the mind to illustrate, and eyes
to see with. A seed planted draws to
itself nourishment from soil, air and
rain, and grows to vigorous planthood.
But If there be no seed sown, the nour-
ishment from these sources remains
latent. Let a superintendent put the
lesson in his mind on Monday as a
seed and he will be surprised to find
how, from numerous and unsupported
sources during the week, there come
to him facts, hints, SMILES, COMPARE
sons, and in short all that he needs
for an effective closing address. The
difficulty with many superintendent
is that they defer seed-planting until
Saturday night, or even Sunday; or, to
come back to the original figure, they
neglect to wear their Sunday-school
spectacles during the week.-S,mday-
School Superintendent.

About a Bad Boy.

This composition is about a bad boy.
/ know him. l knew him that time l
visited my Aunt Julia in Kingston.
His grandfather was a shoemaker. His
name was Ned Hill. Ned Hill was a
bad boy. He used to 90 in his grand
fathers shop after dinner, when his
grandfather had nap. He would stand
behind the chair and tickle his ear with
a long grass or straw. He said that made
his grandfather have funny dreams.
His grandfather would think it was a
fly. He would try to brush it away.
Then, one day, he told Joey Gibson
that if he would have his tooth pulled
out, gold tooth would come in its
place. joey said he did not care for a
gold tooth, but he would like to have
their baby have a gold tooth. So he
tied cord on the baby's tooth. But he
was afraid to pull, and his mother came
in, and the tooth was not pulled. Ned
Hill did not go to Mr.. Gibson's any
more. Mrs. Gibson told him not to
come. | would not behave so that a
lady would tell me not to come to her
house for ten dollars. / would not do
it for any sum of money. But Ned Hill
said he did not care, for he did not wish
to go to her house any more. This is
not pleasant composition, but you can
not write pleasant composition about
bad boy.-Little Men and Women.

Power Of a Living Bible.

A young lady, who resided with her
uncle, had fretful temper which made
all around her uncomfortable. She
was sent to boarding-school, and was
absent some time. While there she
became true and earnest Christian.
On her return she was so changed that
all who knew her wondered and re-
joiced. She was patient and cheerful,
kind, unselfish and charitable. The
lips that used to be always uttering
cross and bitter words now spoke moth
ing but sweet, gentle, loving words.
Her infdel cousin, George, was greatly
surprised at this. He watched her
oughly satisfied that it was real
change that had taken place in his
young cousin. Then he asked her
what had caused this great change.
She told him it was the grace of God
which had made her Christian and
had changed her heart. He said to
himself, ~ don't believe that God had
anything to do with it, though she
thinks he had. But it is wonderful
change that has taken place in her,
and l should like to be as good as she
is. will be so." Then he formed a set
of good resolutions. He tried to con-
troll his tongue and his temper, and
kept strict watch over himself. He
was all the time doing and saying
what he did not wish to do and say.
And, as he failed time after time, he
would turn and study his Cousins ex-
ample. He would read the living
Bible, and say to himself: elbow
does it happen that she, who has not
as much knowledge as much strength
of character as have, can do what
can't do? She must have some help
that 1 don't know of. 1t must be, as
she says, the help of God. 1 will seek
that help" He went into his chamber
and prayed to that God whose very ex-
istence he had denied. He prayed
earnestly. God heard him, helped
him and he became Christian

" According to His Folly"

Sarcasm and irony can sometimes be
used to good effect in puncturing GER
tain popular humbugs, and the follow
ing from Robert Burdett answers very
aptly a class of critics known and
heard of men in every large COM
munity, and some small ones, too:
Yes, my son, l know. l know that
the churches in the United States cost
many thousands of dollars which might
be given to the poor. l know, my son,
that our modern Christianity is much
given to the worldly show and grandeur,
and has departed from the simple ways
of the fathers. l appreciate your grief
over all this. You are not alone in your
sorrow. You are not the first man, my
son, that lifted up his voice and walled,
why was not this ointment sold for
three hundred pence and given to the
poor?' Come, my son, let us reform
things. Let us sell all the churches
and give all the money to the poor.
Let us bury our dead in unmarked
bitches by the roadside, and send the
cost of Christian burial to the heather.
Let us paint our legs, let our hair grow
long, and 90 naked, so that we may
send the money we now waste in
fashionable adornment to the perishing
millions in India. Let us do all this
Then, you see, the poor heather will
have everything and we will have moth
ing; they will have clothes and live in
houses, and we will wear rings in our
noses and live in caves; they will be
civilized Christian men and women,
and we will be wild barbarians, perish
ing in benighted ignorance, lifting up
our appealing voices for the price of
the box of ointment. My son, when
you are tempted to howl because body
of Christians build church that costs
$4,000, you sit down and hold your
nose and wait until you see in how
many years that church sends out
100000 to the poor and the sick and
the heather at home and abroad"
