Encouragement.

There are some people who never
have a cheering word for the struggler.
They make life just as hard as possible
for all who are striving to do right.
They never think of rejoicing with a
poor sinner who has turned, and is
trying to follow Christ; they only won
der if his conversion is genuine, and
fear it is not, and wait in icy serenity
to be sure of it before they lend hand
to help him in the new way. They
never have really hearty words of COM
mendation for any one, however de-
serving the person may be. They say
they are afraid of turning peoples
heads by compliments and words Of
praise; but surely it is much better to
help people than to hinder them in
life. Duty is hard enough at the best
for most of us; and we need all the
cheer we can get to keep us from dis
heartenment and failure. Now and
then. to be sure, there is one who
needs TO be repressed, and for whom
the chilling air of encouragement is
really tonic. False or indiscreet
praise is always injurious. Too much
help in struggle and difficulty is posi-
none at all. Yet, with all these eau
tons, there is still large room for the
simple ministry of encouragement; and
certainly no ones true mission really
can be to make life harder for others
by suspicion, Encouragement or harsh
criticism.-S. s. Times.

Mrs. Amos went directly over to the
Elliot's to investigate. When she re-
turned, Bessie was with her. Ressie's
eyes were red, and she ran straight in
to Edith's room.
"Oh. Edith" she cried out, "1'm 30

Edith's poor little mottled face
changed, and she begun to laugh.

''No, you weren't silly one bit,
Edith. See here, I'm going to make you
apromise: I'llnever tease you again, as
long as l live. and 1 will always tell

RELIGION OF THE HEART.
The Necessity of Addressing the Con
sciences and Affections of the People.

The Necessity of Addressing the Con-
sciences and Affections of the People.
Not all religion is of this kind.
Sometimes 1t is severely intellectual,
the mind-the brain--alone having
any thing to do with it. A man is
scholar and studies the Scriptures and
Scripture doctrine just as he studies
Greek or mathematics, and he gives
his assent to them and advocates them,
but he rarely feels them. Sometimes
it is sentimental. There is no thought
in it. 1t rarely excites real emotion,
and it never extends to thorough un-
derstanding and moving of the will.
Many people deceive themselves in one
or the other of these ways, and in 9th
er ways equally deceptive, thus losing
all the benefit of their religion, and
failing to rightly commend it to others.
A man of this kind is often met with,
sometimes officially by pastors, but
more frequently in cursory way, or
as an inquiring disputant in the news.
papers. He has some knowledge of
the Gospel. In his library are many
religious books, and he has read them.
Either along certain lines, or more
broadly, he has studied them, and he
has certain opinions-possibly some
convictions respecting theology and
the evangelical faith. He can talk,
and likes to do so. What this author
has said and that; what he has cleaned
from this authority and the other one
these are his topics. He is sincere.
When he says he wishes to arrive at a
knowledge of the truth he is to be be-
lieved implicitly. No one should doubt
him. But if he keep up his habit, a
knowledge of the truth will never be
one of his achievements. He is seeking
Christ solely with his intellect, or, at
least, is depending on that; and, if he
is not getting farther away from the
Saviour, he is, at least, not getting any
nearer, and is, therefore, wasting all
his time and effort. If he could just re-
member to let his heart rule in the
whole matter, and teach his intellect,
somewhat proud and constitutionally
stubborn, to sit quietly by and wait. he
would sooner reach the new life he is
asking about.
1t is the address to the heart, there
fore, that is the most successful in the
realm Of religion. The preacher who
succeeds speaks to the cOnsciences and
affections of the people. Whether they
consciously wish that or not, they need
it, and they will grow to want it, and
then 10 care for nothing else. The pull
pit that is at the head Of all the Chris
tian pulpits Of the world is conspicu-
GUS in this direction. Christ is set
spec,ilated about and studied as great
historic figure or dynamic Saviour, but
as He who asks for the heart, and who
offers to it whatever it needs for its
peace and enrichment. Speaking to
the heart" is the title Of one of Guth-
rie's books, and that kind of speaking
is the forceful and fruitful kind for all
men in all the ages.-Umited Presbyteri-

A TERRIBLE BATTLE.
1t Ends in a Glorious Victory Over Selfis

When the box was opened, there, in
a nest of soft white cotton, lay two
large eggs, ornamcnted in beautiful
colors. And. wonderful to tell these
eggs had covers which, when lifted up,
showed them to he full of sugar plums.
But these lovely boxes were very frail
and. in their long, rough journey, one
of the covers was badly crushed.
"Sster can have that: I'll have the
good onc,' said the little boy at once.
He was looked at with surprise, for
he had always seemed generous little
fellow.
my dear" asked mamma. "would
you do 50 selfish. so unmanly thing
as that? Go away, and think about
it,
Il don't wish to think about it. I
don't wish to think about it," he re-
piled. cxcitedly, II want the good one"
After that no more was said. He
began to walk about the room, his face
was flushed, and he looked very un-
happy. If he CHANGED to come near
papa, papa did not seem to see him,
he was so busy reading his newspaper.
After walking awhile he went to the
other side of the room where mamma
was bathing and dressing his little
sister. He was very foud of his
mamma. When she was sometimes
obliged to punish him, as soon as it
was over he would say:
wipe my tears kiss me!'
So now, when his dear mamma did
boy any more, he was cut to the
heart.
At last he went into grandma's
room. Now, he and grandma were
great friends. Many happy hours did
he spend in her lap, hearing stories:
aud She called him her "blessed boy"
But now, alas! she was so busy with
her knitting that she took no notice of
him whatever. This was dreadful!
He climbed up chair and sat down.
An evil spirit seemed to whisper,
Don't give up;" and so he began
again his miserable walk. For nearly
one hour did this little boy fight his
terrible battle with selfishness, until, at
last, he could stand it no longer. He
came to his mamma, and said, in q
pleasant voice:
81 will take the broken one; sister
can have the perfect one"
"Then, when papa and mamma had
kissed him. and he had rushed into
grandma's loving arms, what % load of
unhappiness was lifted from his heart.

A Pretty Bird Story.

At the time of the great fire in Chi
cago. some years ago, a very pretty in
cident happened. A family living near
the lake shore had large number of
pet birds. They had added to their
parlor long, narrow room, with glass
windows reaching from ceiling to floor,
for the pleasure of these feathered
friends. People often stopped to see
the pretty creatures tluttering about,
to hear their songs, or watch them as
they bathed. At daybreak the house
was full of music. 1t was like a con.
cert in the wildwood.
One afternoon, the week of the fire, a
cloud Of iluttering wings moved weari-
ly up the street. Presently these home
less ones caught sight of their happy
cousins in the beautiful glass house. II
gave them fresh courage. Some even
tapped for admittance. 1t was pitt.

ance. The ladies of the house, with
out delay, shut off the home-birds into
what might be called their back-par
lor. But through the glass door they
could see all that went on. With eager
eyes they noted every movement. Then
opening window, they stepped aside
that the tired travellers might feel fire,
to enter. Ready to drop from fatigue
and hunger. they went in. Some woult
have fallen but for hands held out II
welcome. They could not at once ca
or bathe. They lay painting, gratetu
for rest and safety. There were per
haps twenty Of them, and nearly al
canaries. They had joined each othe
by the way, in this pathetic search TO
protecting love and care.
When these tender wayfarers ha.
rested, and ea'en supper, the home
birds-and there were nearly fifty o
hem--futtered briskly in. with heart
greetings. 1t was charming TO se
what cheerful. nay, even tender, wei
come they gave.

Interesting ana lnstruct1ve Facts G&eoneO
from the Report of the New Jersey Bu-
reau of Statistics of Labor and Indus
tries.
Fourteen States have Bureaus. Of Sta
tistics of Labor, the Oldest being that
of Massachusetts, which, under the
management of a statistician of ability
and experience, Hon. Carroll d.
Wright, has contributed immensely
to the facilities for the study of various
social and industrial problems. The
Massachusetts Bureau was established
in 1869; but the bureaus in six of the
1884. 1t is to be hoped that other
States will establish bureaus at as
early day as possible. 1t costs but
little comparatively to sustain Shem;
and the facts and statistics which they
can gather, arrange and printin annual
reports would be of incalculable value
to Legislators, and to all students of So
cial and economical questions Much
of the legislation which is being put
upon the statute books deals either di-
rectly or indirectly with such questions,
and is too often based upon unsupport-
ed theories rather than wel1-aseertained
facts. No State can really afford to be
without Bureau of Statistics u Labor
and Industry.
