who had never seen or heard of such thing. He
whitfield out one with his jack knife, and after
he had 1t all done with great enthusiasm he
showed it to his father. who at once knocked it
to pieces. saying that he would have no boy
about him that would spend his time on such
foolish things. The boy was sent to black
smith to learn trade, and his master took a
lively interest in him. He made loom of what
was left of the one his father had broken up,
and showed it to his master.
The blacksmith saw that he had no common
boy as an apprentice; and that the invention was
valuable one He had a loom constructed
under the supervision of the boy. 1t worked to
their perfect satisfaction, and the blacksmith
furnished the means to manufacture the looms,
and the boy received half the profits.
In about year the blacksmith wrote to the
boys father that he should bring home with him
wealthy gentleman who was the inventor of
the celebrated powerloom. You may be able
to judge OF the establishment at the old homo
when his son was presented to him as the
inventor, who told him that the loom was the
same as the model that he had kicked to pieces

Lord / Am Thine.

On the eve of her departure for foreign mis-
sion field consecrated young lady in one of our
institutions of learning addressed her class
mates. Every word revealed the genuineness
of her conservation. Such depths of conviction
and strength of purpose could only have been
wrought in her soul by the Holy Spirit such joy
was the Joy of the Lord" such peace the peace
of Jesus
But as they listened to her thrilling words, did
they not know that her conservation was in no
respect beyond that which g cd required of them9
If only this thought were more widely prevalent,
especially among young people, the Masters
work in the home field would not be so sadly
neglected. Wherever our lot may be cast moth
ing less than this full conservation will enable
to attain the highest possibilities of living.
just here is the test for every one. The ques
ton, 'Am wholly the Lord'sF can be answered
afirmatively at home. while carefully perform
ing our daily duties, conscientiously abstain
ing from every appearance Of evil No one
should think that Lord am thine" is neces-
sary preparation for one kind of work and not
for another.

READING FOR THE DAY.
Sunday-school Lesson for Oct rs, 1888.


THE TEMPLE REPAIRED-u KINGS xii, LIS.
GOLDEN TENT was glad when they said unto
nc. Let us go into the house of the Lord-Psalm
exxii, /.
This lesson transfers us from the kingdom of
Israel to that of Judah; from Samaria to Jerusa-
lem; from Jehu to Joash from an overthrown
temple of Baal to a restored temple of Jehovah.
1t tells of good work enjoined and left undone;
and then of the good work commanded and
faithfully done. The contrast between negli-
gence and fidelity is that between the priests
and the people; and both in some measure were
shared by the chief priest and the chief ruler
APPLICATION.
l. "And Jehoash did that which was right in
the sight of the Lord all the days of JehoiaGa."
Sod is not hard master. nor is He difficult to
be pleased. These words imply high commenda-
ton. The young king lived up to his light; he
obeyed the instructions of his teacher. He did
many things short of the perfect law. but still he
pleased God. Any child of seven or eight years
of age can do the same by the help of the Lord.
There is such thing as raising the law higher
than the Lord puts it, ana especially in our appli-
cation of it to other peoples children, or, may
be. to our own when they trying to be
Christians. In this way we Offend His little
ones"
2 The high places were not taken away.
These high places seem to have been used 20
meet the wants of some high-church, aesthetic
yitualists of that day. They also were adapted
10 that class who wished to adapt the church to
men of taste and culture. But the worship of
the golden calves was so close to the worldly and
beathen usages that the people backslid while
they worshiped in these fashionable and high
toned places.
3. Let them repair the breaches of the house
of the Lord. What shame that men should
live in luxury and let their church go without
needed repairs. and should make no effort to
supply the needs of those who labor at it's altars
This is Gods house; these are Gods ministers.
Good men will be eager to repair every breach.
Sometimes there are breaches of good under
standing and right feeling among the members.
Hasten to have them repaired Who is in the
way? Sometimes these repairs. as here, seem to
be beyond the power of the priests. The laymen
mast make them.
A. The chest was set beside the altar That
was the right place. The giving of money is a
large part of religion IL is the. measure of our
love to God as it is in proportion to our income.
What God has given to us, the way he has an
swered our prayers, should be in our thought as
We give to his cause. 1t is good thing to
seive all collections and missionary moneys, and
put them near the altar where we offer our
prayers to God
5. Push the plan and raise tie money.
There has always been plenty of money in the
church. Gods people have large portion of the
worlds wealth. But it needs some one with faith
and clear purpose to lead 1t is common feel
Ing among men to willingly bear their fair pro-
portion. If others are bearing their part we
want to bear ours. The church benevolences
need leadership.

Inventions by Bows.


The invention of the valve motion to steam
engine was made by mere boy Newcomers

the fact that there was way to open and close
the valves except by means of levers operated by
hand. He set up large engine at one of the
mines. and boy Humphrey Potter) was hired
TO work these valve levers Although this is
not hard work, yet it required his constant
attention. AS he was working the engine he
saw that parts of the engine moved in the right
direction, and at the same time he had 10 omen

"A box, for Reeve and Marcia !" exclaimed
papa: as he opened the mail from the North.
And all the way from Chicago, too, and from
Aunt Emma do believe
When the box was opened there, in nest of
soft white cotton, lay two large eggs, orna-
mented in beautiful colors. And wonderful to
tell, these ee gS had covers which, when lifted
up, showed them to be full of sugar pums. But
these lovely boxes were very frsil: and. in their
long and rough journey, one of the covers was
badly crushed
Sister can have that: I'll have the good one,"
said the little boy at once.
He was looked at with surprise for he had

he looked very unhappy. If no CHANGED to come
near papa, papa did not seem to see him, he was
SO busy reading his newspaper
After walking while, he went to the other
side of the room where mamma was bathing and
dressing his little sister. He was very fond of
his mamma. When she was sometimes obliged
to punish him, as soon as it was over he would
say:

An Unsophisticated Statesman.

Atlanta Constitution.
There are some good stories told on some OF
the members of the Legislature. and this one
may as we'll find daylight through the Constitu-
ton this morning.
When one of the new members arrived and
was sworn in he took his seat and the next
thing he observed was the election Of the door
Keepers, who were thereafter stationed at the
various doors. After remaining in his seat until
his legs got cramped and he wanted exercise,
the member arose and timidly approaching Q
door-keeper, said in whisper:
l-I-l-say I'd like 70 go out if-if-you
don't k-keer. I-I-wont be gone but about ten
minutes"
The door-keeper let him out. Before the ses-
sion was over the member learned that he could
ride home on his free pass and stay week and
nobody would miss him bat the clerks when
count up constitutional quorum.

She Wanted Elizabeth. Anyway.

Boston Record.
Her affections center upon doll, whose name
the longest her tongue could frame at the time
it was bestowed-is Elizabeth. For some mis-
demeanor of unusual gravity this young lady was
sent to bed at an early hour and in the woe at
tending the iptction of this punishment she for
got to take with her the cherished Elizabeth to
share her couch. Realizing her desolation she
summoned her mother by calls from the cham
Der:
Mamma! I want Elizabeth. Please bring
Elizabeth up to mel"
This mitigation of the penalty was denied; but
the demand was repeated. each refusal being fol-
lowed by yet more petulant request. until final
ly there came a suggestion of the last resort Of
maternal discipline:
Nellie, l am afraid l shall have to come up
and punish you"
Quick came the response, punctuated with
sobs:
Well, when you come up, please bring Eliz-
abeth."

THE ART OF LYING IN BED.

One of the Most Useful, Yet Most Neglected
Early Rising Profound Mistake.
Rock Island (ill.) Argus.
One of the most useful yet neglected of all
the arts is that of lying in bed The damage
that is done BY persons getting up is past all
reckoning. All the mischief and crime. the
counterfeiting and forgery, the murder and theft
are perpetrated by parties who persist in getting
up Not only individuals do wrong by leaving
their beds, but rivers, as we'll, DO an immense
amount of damage. What man was ever dunned
by a creditor, had his eye put in mourning by a
too close proximity with some ones fist, broke his
leg on slippery pavement, or was run over by
an omnibus, who lay in bed2 What great
achievements have been accomplished in war; in

most memorable lines in the English language

Campbell one morning before he had risen.

to RISE makes man healthy, wealthy and wise. y
There is the fatal mistake. People who rise early
are sure to catch the malaria. The ground is
full of half Matched poisonous germs; the sun is

A Turkish Legend.

certain Pasha, dead these thousand years,
Once from lis harem fled in sudden fears,
And had this sentence on the city's gate
Deeply engraven: Only God is great"
So those four words, above the city's noise,
Hung like the accents of an angels voice.
And evermore, from the high barbacan,
Saluted each returning caravan.
Lost in that citys glory. Every gust
Lifts with crisp leaves, the unknown Pasha's dust.
And all is ruined-save one wrnkled gate,
Whereon is written Only God is great"
