THE COURAGE OF CONVICTIONS.

Next to a guilty conscience is a
paralysed conviction. They both
make towards Of us all. Some peo-
pie have no convictions, and hence,
of course, never take any decided
stand upon any subject. There are
those whose convictions are based
upon their prejudices, preferences
and associations their pride and
ambition; but such convictions are
always intolerant of the views of
others, or else absolutely Indifferent
as to the opinion and position of
mankind. 1t is only the man whose
convictions have been humbly and
honestly founded upon the truth,
who can be tolerant and charitable
towards human error and weakness,
and such convictions are never in
different as to what others believe.
Hence, here we learn the important
lesson that is essential to manhood
to have convictions and the courage
OF our convictions; that we must
be guided by our convictions, right
or wrong; but that it is most i'm
portant of all that we be careful to
base our convictions solely upon the
truth. Accountability to God does
not lie in following our convictions,
or conscience, but it lies in the for
nation of these convictions and the
education of conscience, strictly ac-
cording to Gods Word. No man
can ever stand the test of the judy
ment who, with the Bible in bis
hands, will have to confess that his
convictions were based upon his
pride, prejudices, preferences, or
associations. Alas! this is the sin
of millions. Christian Inder.

In regard to the quality of food
suitable for an infant, there are a
great many very erroneous notions
which should be corrected. The
stomach of a child under months
old will hold, in its natural condi-
ton, only about small wine glass
full. OF coursegby stretching, for it
is very elastic it can be made to
hold several times that quantity,
but, when 50 distendcd, it presses
upon the other organs, pushes them
out of place and causes pain
When this fact. is known, the folly
of allowing the child to feed from a
bottle containing a half pint or
more OF food will at once appear
evident. When the stomach is dis
tended, vomiting is often the meas
ure of relief. In distention, when
the superauops. food is not thrown
Rayshel haby is ffetdA ,and cries with
pain. 1t is overlooking the stomach
which frequently excites collie.
Mothers. seldom recognize the fact,
however and, as rule, interpret
ing the little ones cries as an evil
dence~ of hunger, go on giving it
more food and making matters
worse. Permanent distention of the
stomach isnot infrequently the con-
sequence of overlooking, the organ,
which is elastic, losing its power of
contracting to its original size.
When such a condition exists the
sufferer wastes away even when the
proper food is given in correct
quantity.

A STORY FOR HUSBANDS.

A farmer asked of the visitors in
Ia store about making loan Of
$500. 1t seems that the man had
worked hard all his days, and
bought and paid for 81, 200 farm
had taken a wife, furnished house
and now, envious of his neighbors
wanted to build $500 barn. To dc
this he proposed to borrow the cash.
giving a mortgage on his farm. Said
the store man after the story was
told:
Your farm is clear now?
Yes, sir.
You love your wife?
Yes, sir.
Well, said the merchant, this is
what you should do. Go home and
earn the $500 first, and then build
your barn. II you borrow now, you
will think each night as you lie in
bed that you are in debt. You will
fret and worry; your wife will do
the same; sickness ard accidents
may come, or poor crop be your
portion; there will be a $500 skele-
ton in your house, and ten to one
you don't fret with your wife. Don't
go into the mortgage business
Live within your income, be indus
trious, and when you build your
barn and own it, you'll be as proud
,, Of it as an Englishman is of his cas-
tie.
For moment the young farmer
hesitated. On each side were in
terested spectators, and all was 81
lent. Gradually the head lowered,
and a tear rolled down his cheek.
The man took pride in his occupa-
ton and wanted the barn. At last
he said: Thank you, sir. To tell
the truth, my wife vas crying when
| left home because | was going to
mortgage the place. I'll take your
advice and go home as came down,
and she'll be glad to see me.
There, said the merchant, that
fellow came to a wise conclusion.
| have seen lots of misery on &C
count of this mortgage business.
He who gives one, often gives peace
comfort and contentment with it.

A WRITER on marriage, referring
to the fact that so many women
marry rakes and drunkards with the
thought that thereby they can re-
claim them, says, eff l were moth.
er, the strongest word of advice
should give to my daughter about
matters matrimonial would be, "No
proselyting; no missionary enter
prise; no conversion. Pray for him,
my dear, as much as you like, but
don't marry him." Good advice,
but still young women will continue
marrying men that drink, and
vaguely hope that some day they
may reclaim them.

upon novel method of clearing his
