Poor, Yet Making Many Rich.

Lizzie Laird, poor woman IL Scot
land who was bed-ridden forty years, did
so much to make others rich that her
story ought to be told to the whole world.
When girl Of eighteen years she worked
in the coal pits, and came very near being
killed by the pits caving in. She was
brought out of the mine only shapeless
mass, and in short time became blind.
Her family all died except a deaf and
dumb sister who took care of her. She
was so poor she had to depend on the
charity of the neighbors, but notwith-
standing, she made many rich.
Lizzie 8 greatest work for God in the
enrichment of others, was work of ex-
ample. This is work which is very dear
to God. 1t is greater than almost any
other work we can do. To everybody
who entered her room, Lizzie was an ex-
ample of patient suffering. She took a
loving interest in the affairs of her neigh.
bors. If any good came to them, she re-
joioed if any sorrow, she wept with them.
She loved children, and they loved her.
Bands Of them would come at times and
sing hymns at her door to cheer her. AS
a rule she was cheerful, sometimes even
merry, when friends called on her. To
see Lizzie happy, to hear her pleasant
speech, to listen to her merry laugh, was
all the same with seeing the kindness and
power Of God at work Only God could
give the happiness which one 80 poor and
broken as Lizzie, now enjoyed 1t made
many VINO grumbled over their own lit
tie troubles, ashamed Of their grumbling;
and it opened up to some who otherwise
might never have seen it, view of the
presence Of Christ in the house Of one OF
His poorest disciples.
A friend Of mine went to see Lizzie
sometimes. will tell you how she made
him rich. Her face made him think oil
angels it was the nearest to what he
fancied the faces Of angels must be. 1t
always seemed to him also, when he was
visiting her, as if that humble little room
was q room in heaven. Everything be
heard and saw made him think of bet
ter world. That was the riches he got

the thought in his heart l have been in
one of the ante-rooms of heaven"
Among the wonderful things mention
ed in the New Testament, none is more
wonderful than this, that it was by poor
people the good news concerning Christ
was first made known. Never were poor
err people than these. Poor fishermen,
poor tentmakers, poor laboring men and
women, poor slaves-such were the peo-
pie by whom the good news was carried
throughout the world They came from
fishing villages, from despised little homes
among the hills, from back streets In
great cities.> Nobody knew them. No
body ever heard of them before. They
were Knocked. They were beaten with
rods. They were cast into prison. Yet
they were helped by God to go from
place to place telling their wonderful
story. And poor, despised, and ill-treated
as they were, they made the world rich
by The story they told.
But it is not back in those days only
that this wonder has been seen. There
never has been time in which God did
not give grace TO poor people to do this
very thing. We have only TO open ouI
eyes, and we shall see it in the days in
which we ourselves are living. Nobody
is too poor to be used in the service o.
the loving God. The greatest Servant
He ever had upon the earth, was so poor
that He had not where to lay His head

The Kings Son.

There was once Kings son. who
heard that the people in one of the Kings
countries long way off, used to be afraid
of the King, and used to say that the
King did not care for them. So he
thought to himself. 81 will go and
teach them better" But he said, If 1
go with my fine robes and crown, they
will say, What do you know about a
poor mans life?' You do not know
what it is to be cold and half naked and
hungry l will put off my royal dress,
and | will wear clothes like the poor peo-
pie, and live and eat as they do" So he
changed his clothes. and left his palace,
and went to that distant country, and
there he lived among the poor, leading a
harder life than any of them. And yet,
though he was often hungry and cold,
and sometimes did not know where to
find nights lodging, he never COM
planned, and never broke the laws.
After he had lived in that country for
some time, he went back to the King at
home. 1t happened that soon afterwards
the people Of the country sent messengers
to the King to complain that the laws
were too hard. The Kings son then
said to these messengers: Believe me,
the laws are all for the best, and the
King loves you as though you were his
own children
All" said the messengers, but you
do not understand our way of life, how
poor and miserable we are, and how hard
it is to live"
You are wrong said the Prince 1
understand your life quite well, for l
lived myself as a poor man among you
for long time. 1 know you have to
suffer good deal every one of your
troubles is known to me, for have suffer
ed the same things. Yet still 1 assure
you that the King is very fond of you,
and will make you perfectly happy in
the end"
Then the people when they heard that
the Kings son had lived among them,
and knew all about their troubles, began
to be more hopeful, for they said He
knows what it is to suffer, and he will
surely help u.s..
The Kings son is Jesus, who is the
Son OF God the Father Jesus was, as
we are. tempted to do wrong. He knew
what it was to be poor and hungry and
homeless-he felt the bitterness of death.
More than this, he knew what it was to
be prosecuted by enemies and to be mis-
understood and deserted by his dearest
friends. Do not fancy then when you
have your little trials and troubles that
Jesus knows nothing about them and
cannot understand them. Jesus was a
child as you are, and he, has never for
gotten that he was a child. You may
tell him of all your troubles-he will I'M
derstand and sympathize with them all.

Mothers journey.

There is hint in the following incl
dent of the way in which children may
be trained so as not to regard death as
the King of Terrors: That night, before
they went to bed, they were allowed to go
in and kiss their mother good night
This privilege had been denied them
lately, and their hearts responded with
Joy TO the invitation. Mamma was bet
ter or she could not see them. The doc
tor had cured her. They would love
him for it all their lives. She was very
pale, but smiling, and her first words to
them were, ] am going on a journey r.
" A journey !" cried the children. Will
you take US with you" No it is a
long, long journey" Mamma is going
to the South, said Katy the doctor
has ordered her to. She will get well in

beautiful than even the lovely South, -

goodbye, my dear ones, for in the morn

made ready, but each must make the
