REGIN IN TIME.

There is much of truth hidden under
homely expressions such as this, and be-
cause of their apparent commonness we are
apt to think lightly of them. Take this
one as an example, apply it to almost any
thing that you will, and we at once see its
reasonableness. Whether it be in regard to
performing a duty we owe to our fellow
men, the taking of a journey, the reading OF
book, the writing of letter, going to
church, and thousand other things, any
one can see the propriety of beginning in
time. This will be almost half the work.
Beginning in time shows that we have a
heart in the work, and whatever has heart
in it is almost certain to be carried on to
successful completion.
But we wish to speak now more especially
of that little sin which is hidden in your
heart; and which is just beginning to man.
ifest itself. We will not say what that sin
is, you know that better than we do.
But what we wish to say is, that if you
want to keep the garden of your heart clear
of weeds, begin in time and dig them out.
These warm spring days and showers bring
out the seeds which careful hands have
planted, but it does not need an experience
ed eye to see here and there among the
growing plants pestiferous weeds pushing
themselves into notice. The wise gardener
knows that these weeds strike their roots
deeper every day, and begins at once to
destroy them. More may appear shortly,
but not so many in number, nor will it re-
quire so much effort to keep the garden
clean. 1t is just the same with that sin
which will most surely get the mastery of
YOU unless you weed it out. 1t makes no
difference what the sin is, it will spread
with surprising rapidity until it pervades
the entire garden of your heart. Dig it
out. Its roots will be deeper and stronger
tomorrow, and you will have less inclina-
tion to weed tomorrow, than you have
to-day.
How many there are who would have
escaped great misery if they had been
mindful of our advice: They saw the, sin
growing in their hearts, but it was only a
but see it has become the bane Of their
lives. 1t has overshadowed everything
else, it has rooted out all good, and now
broken down in health spirit and reputa-
tion, they are reaping just what they have
sown. Parents cannot be too careful in re-
gard to their children in this respect. The
little sins which creep into their young
hearts must he taken out, and the time to
do this is before they have struck their roots
too deep into the fertile soil. Begin in
time if you wish to do anything good. Sow
your seed at the proper time and you will
have harvest.-Christidn World.
COLD FEET IN BED.-This is very COM
mon complaint and one that causes a great
deal of sleeplessness. First, on retiring at
night and again early in the morning we are
awakened by cold feet, and cannot get them
warm except by drawing them up almost to
the chin. This occurs not only in the young,
but in the middle-aged and the old. For
this there are two remedies-the hot bottle
and the lambs wool socks, either or both of
which may be used. When we consider
that during the day, while we are active,
we wear stockings and shoes, does it not
seem strange that at night when the tenn
perature of the air is lower, and when we
are inactive, that our feet should have less
covering than during the day? The rea-
sonable plan is to have special pair of
socks for night use, put them on when going
to bed and change them when we get up.
The result will be better and more serene
sleep; consequently we shall be more able
to undergo our daily eXertions. l say at
once to all who suffer from cold feet, get a
pair of warm socks for night wear. A good
walk for half an hour before retiring warns
the feet and sends nice glow all through
the body and disposes to sleep. 1t must not
be supposed that these remedies make one
less able to stand cold; they are simply to
retain the heat of the body and allow of
comfort and if followed much benefit will
be derived.-T R. Allison, NJ. ID.
Is THIS Hot ENOUGH?-In 1903 and 1904,
according to French periodical, the Rhine,
Loire and Seine ran dry. In 1915 the heat
throughout Europe became excessive. Scot
land suffered particularly in 1925; men and
beasts died in scores. The heat in several
depa, tments during the summer of 1905
was equal to that in glass furnace. Meat
could be cooked by merely exposing it to
the sun. Not soul dared venture out be-
tween noon and p. M. In 171S many
shops had to close; the theatres never open
ed their doors for several months. Not a
drop of water fell during six months. In
1878 the thermometer rose to 11S degrees.
