Praying with Children.

The loving instruction Of mother may
seem to have been thrown away, but it
will appear after many days "When l was
a little child, " said a good old man, 'my
mother used to bid me kneel down beside
her, and place her hand on my head while
she prayed Ere was old enough to know
her worth. she died, and l was lie t too much
to my own guidance. Like others, l was in
clined to evil passions, but often felt myself
checked, and as it were, drawn back by G
soft hand upon my head. When young
man, Travelled in foreign lands, and was
exposed to many temptations; but when
would have yielded, that same hand was
upon my head and l was saved. l seemed
to feel its pressure as in the happy days Of
infancy, and sometimes there came with j
voice in my heart, voice that wa
obeyed "Oh, do not this wicI1edness, my
son, nor sin against God. D."
my mother prayed for me long while
and then was taken home. Fifteen year
after sho died, her prayers were answered
and was converted. Then l began to pray
for my father longed above anything elsC
for his salvation, and seven years after / be
gan praying he was converted" This wa
about the substance of testimony given il
during the week by a man who was endeavor
ing to encourage others to continue Gin
slant in prayer" for the salvation Of thos
they loved.

A GndIpAs HOnla.

A little boy, three years old, whose father
was careless prayerless and irreligi GUS spent
several months in the dwelling OF cody
family, where he was taught in the simple
elements Of divine truth.
The seed fell in good and tender soil, and
the child learned to note the difference be-
tween prayerless and Christian dwelling.
One day, as some one was convnrsing with
the little fellow about the great and good
God, the child said:
1--WE haven't any God at my papa's
houseln
Alas, how many such houses there are in
the world-houses where there is no prayer,
no praise, no worship, no God. And what
houses are they for children, ay, and for
men and women, tool How much better is
the pure atmosphere of Christian love than
the cold, selfish worldliness Of goddess
home. Messenger of Peace.

Tho Faithful LaDOrer,

see young man devoting himself to the
service of the Redeemer l see him taking
his stand as the firm advoc tie Of every good
cause, and lending his efficient cooperation
to all measures which look to the promo
ton of virtue aud happiness among his fell
low-creatures see him, possibly, exchang-
ing the pursuits Of business, or the practice
of a liberal profession, for the ministry of
reconciliation. l trace him through all that
variety and opulence of labors which attach
to his high vocation, the teacher, the guide,
the comforter, the fympathizing friend oil
his people, joyful in their JOY and sorrowful
in their sorrow behold him going forth yeaI
after year, in sunshine and in storm, bearing
precious seed and scattering it broadcast
over his plantation, sometimes with
weeping and sometimes with hope
full heart, and thon at laSt him, thie
same faithful laborer, returning as the sur
goes down to his Fathers house, bending
under his yellow sheaves and rejoicing witt
a Joy unspeakable and full of glory. And
turn from this scene to ask what there is ii
all the splendor of earth-in its riches and
in its renown, in its coronets and in its dia
dems that shines with a beauty so ineffablt
and 50 glorious as these same yellow sheaves

RELIGIOUS READING.
"Ye Are MY witnesses."

Tell me, pilgrim, faint and weary.
Travelling DER this pathway dim,
Are you shedding light around you,
Are you witnessing for HINT
Do you try to tell the story
OF the precious Saviour's lovei
Are you hungering and thirsting
Evermore your love to provei
Are you seeking out the lost ones
Whom the Master died to wins
Are you showing them the fountain
That can wash away the If sini
Are you looking by the wayside
For the weary ones who fAllg
Do you take them to the Saviour,
Who has promised rest for alll
Do you love to read the Bible
Is it precious to your soul9
Are its treasures growing richer
As you travel toward the goall
Do you love to talk of Jesus
More than all the world besidel
Does it bring holy comfort
With his people to abidei
Have you made conservation
or your time and earthly storel
If your all is on the altar,
Then the Master asks no more.
Thus, o pilgrim, should we journey,
Showing forth the Masters praise,
With our lamp all trimmed and burning,
That the world may catch their rays.
