nv OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Angel OF love, for every grief,
It's soothing balm thy mercy brings;
For every pang Its healing leaf,
For homeless want thine outspread wings
Enough for thee the pleading eye,
The knitted brow of silent pain:
The portals open to sigh
Without the clank OF bolt or chain.
Who is our brother? He that lies
Left at the wayside, bruised and sore;
His need our open hand supplies,
His welcome waits him at our door.
Not ours to ask, in freezing tones
His race. his calling, or his creed;
Each heart the tie Of kinship owns,
When there are human veins that oleed.
Here stand the champions to defend
From every wound that flesh can 1eel
Her science, patience, Skill, snail olend
SO save, to calm, to help, to heal.
Father OF mercies! Weak and frail.
Thy guiding hand Thy children ask;
Let not the Great Physician fail
To aid us in our holy task.
Source OF all truth and love and light,
That warm and cheer our earthly days,
Be ours to serve Thy will Alright,
Be thine the glory and the praise!

A little Boston boy, aged six, is of a
very imaginative temperament. Quite
recently his mother noticed that at
bedtime each night he laid his little
boots together upon their sides, instead
of setting them upright.
"Pray tell me why you always place
YOUR boots that way?" asked mamma
and the child replied:
because they must be tired walking
so much all day I lay them sideways
so that they can rest"

Conservation.

A worthy church member sad, "Al,
I have is consecrated to God. An;'
vet this church member gave not over
three hundred dollars year for God,
and twelve hun 1red year, as single
item, to keep carriage-horses. This is
q fair specimen of our ideas of conse-
Grafton. A conservation which exists
only in name. We consecrate to God
in name to keep the substance for our
selves. We give God everything but
ourselves. Which is in fact giving
him nothing.
True conservation is o very simple
thing. Paul defines it as acting with
sole reference to pleasing God. Christ
defines it as the single eye,-one object
ever before the eye and filling its
whole horizon, that object the glory Of
God. This brings deadness to self,
dsadness to the world, every motive
inspired. every action animated and
glowing with this vitalizing force, the
glory Of God. The church seems TO
estimate doing more than holiness of
character, which is to secure the fruit
without the tree, but the fruit is paint
ed. The church needs to apply her
self to secure holy characters conse-
Grated hearts will bring consecrated

ing. The Christmas tree may be full
of fruit, but the fruit is pinned on.
The good tree will bend under it's load
of fruit, the product of its own life.
In Jerusha Edwards we have an il
lustration of consecration-not after
the passions are wasted by age, the ap-
petitss satiated by indulgence-not
one whose tastes of the world have
been imbittered by sorrow, but one in
the freshness and beauty of the sweet
est young womanhood-the second
daughter of President Jonathan Ed
wards, who died in her eighteenth
year. She was remarkable example
Of consecrated character, the power
of grace over young heart and life
not only active in religious doing, but
her doing the fruit of her sanity char
acter.
David Brainerd said of her, 'That
she was not only real Christian, but
a very eminent saint. One whose soul
was 1ncommonly fed and entertained
with things which pertain to the most
spiritual, experimental and distin'
gushing parts of religion; and one
who, by the temper of her mind, was
fitted to deny herself for God, and to
do good, beyond any young woman
whatsoever whom he knew" Her ia
ther said, "She manifested heart un-
commonly devoted to God in the
course of her life." On her dsath-bed
she said: "That she had not seen one
minute for several years, wherein she
desired to live one minute longer, for
the sake of any other good in life, but
doing good, living to God and doing
what might be for his glory" This is
conservation in it's simplicity and puri-
ty. This is the Pauline standard and
maxim. "For me to live is Christ; to
die is gain" 1t is the being. possessed
with Christ and his work here, and
Christ and heaven hereafter.
