The Hidden Cross.
(Chdrles Ringsley.)

To all, sooner or later, Christ comes
to baptise them with fire. But do not
think that the baptism of fire comes
once for all to man in some terrible
affiiction, some one awful conviction
of his own sinfulncss and nothingness.
No; with many, and those perhaps the
best people, it goes on month after
month and year after year. By secret
trials, chastenings which none but
they and God can understand, the
Lord is cleansing them for their secret
faults, and making them to understand
wisdom secretly; burning out of them
the chaff of self-will and self-conceit
and vanity, and leaving only the pure
gold of Righteousness. How many
sweet and holy souls, who look cheerful
enough before the eyes of men, yet
have their secret sorrows! They car
ry their cross unseen all day long, and
lie down to sleep on it at night; and
they will carry it. perhaps, for years
and years. and to their graves, and to
the throne of Christ, before they lay it
down; and none but they and Christ
will ever know what it was-what was
the secret chastisement which God sent
to mike that soul better which seemed
to us already too good for earth. 80
does the Lord watch his people, and
tries them by fire, as the reaner OF
silver sits by his furnace watching fhe
melted metal till he knows that it Is
purged from all its dross by seeing the
image Of his own face reflected on it..

Tangles.

A dear little girl was holding askein
OF yarn the other day for mamma to
wind. 1t took a long time to wind 1t,
because the skein was sadly tangled.
Now and then the little girl would
look toward the window, through
which came the merry voices OF her
little friends at play, and mamma
would say, ut will soon be DONE"
Not one impatient word did the child
utter, and when the work was done
there was not even one little tangle to
be seen in her sweet face. And yet
she did want very much to be at play
with the others.
There's secret in. all this. Have
you heard the story of the king who
gave great quantity of thread to some
children to weave, and told them to be
sure and come to him when they found
themselves in trouble? After while
the day came when they must all
bring their work to the king. Every
web was tangled save one. This was
brought by little girl with smiling
face, and, when she was asked why
her work was so different from the
rest, she replied quickly, "Oh! I did
just as the king told me; when I got
into tangle, I came right to him, and
he helped me-"
So our little girl had learned when
the tangle of fretfulness or impatience
or self-will came to 60, straight to her
King to have it smoothed out. Her
King is our King-Jesus. He knows
just how to help in all these little trou-
blesome things, and He will help the
one who carries everything to Him to
be set right.

Mothers and Children.

Welcome to any messengers from
any country coming in these days to
protest against all war! Women have
especial reason to feel this, not only
for themselves, but, because usually
devolves OH them the painful duty Of
opening the eyes of innocent children
to the fact that they are born into u
world ofhostility and destruction, as
well as love and peace. L tettike taking

they stood. In medieval times, mass
used to be said upon the battlefield
between the two armies, and at the
close the trumpet sounded aud the fight
began. On one of these occasions the
Count de Blois, commanding an army
in Brittany, burst into tears at hearing
the trumpet, and said. 20 that ]

war on himself had been to make him
shrink from the taking even of animal

I'VE are serving God best when we
do our work faithfully
A true sense of our unworthiness
makes every blessing great and pre-
ciOus.
No eve but that which is strengthen
ed by faith can pierce through the
clouds which cover this lower system,
and intercept the prospect of more eX-
cellent riches on high.
The same love which fills a man
with zeal for God makes him little
and Door and vile in his own eyes.
AS is the degree of zeal, such is the de-.
gree of humility; they must rise and
fall together.
Habits of inattention, of mental in
dolence, of surface or of random think
ing, of inexact statement, though they
may involve no conscious wickedness,
are the source of widespread and lnsld-
ious corruption of character.
We are to keep the heart pure, by
keeping it in fellowship with Christ ;
to keep the tongue pure, by using 1t
only for Christ; to keep the life pure,
by living in all things for Christ. In
thought, word, feeling, action, we
should aim at that purity which may
make us like Christ.
O war. begot In pride and luxury,
The child of malice and revengeful hate;

Easier.

Easter Sunday may come on any
date from March % to April Is. Last
year it came on the latest possible date,
April 25. In the year 1918 it fell on
the earliest date, March %, but cannot
happen on that date again until the
year 22S5.
The name Easter comes from Ger
man work pronounced the same, but
spelled Oestre. The Germans, before
they knew anything about Jesus, kept
a feast. to give thanks to their Goddess
of Spring for bringing back the flow
ers and leaves after the dreary winter.
Of course, there was no such goddess
as this one they called Oestre, but they
worshiped in this way because they
didn't know about the true God.
When Christians went to Germany,
and found the Germans keeping this
feast, they told them about Jesus, and
that He not only brought the flowers
and trees to life, but Himself rose from
the dead, and would give to all men a
new life in heaven after they died on
the earth. 49,.
The word Oestre means rising, or
springing; 80 because Jesus rose from
the dead, and all plants spring into
life. at this time of year, the Christians
used the word as name for the ami
versary of the day on which Jesus rose
from the grave; and the Germans
kept their Oestre feast, but it had a
new meaning; for, instead of worship
ing some imaginary Goddess of Spring,
they gave thanks to the God who rules
all the seasons. who gives life to all
things, and who said: HE that be-
lieveth on Me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live.!n

A musician Is commended, not that
he plays so long, but that he Plays SO
well. And thus it is not the days of
our life, but the goodness of our life
not the length of our prayers, but the
fervency of our prayers; not the meas
ure of our profession, but the sincerity
of our profession, that is acceptable un-
to God.
One may become surfeited with get
ting, but he never can be surfeited
with right giving. He who spends
the most energy in serving him
self, will be most likely to tire of the
service-as we'll as in the service. He
who spends most energy in serving
others, will be least likely to tire of the
service-even though he may tire in
the service. The surest way to get all
the good we can out of our own ener-
gies, is to spend them in the service OF
others.

Great heroes are to be found in peace
as we'll as in war, and one of them fell
during the Sunday night of the great
storm on the field of honor, whose
courage was greater. than that Of many
a man who in the excitement of battle
gives his life for the cause for which he
is fighting. In the accident at Hunt
ingdon, Engineer Robert Gardener
perceiving that a collision between
his own train and another was newt
able, stayed at his post, kept his hands
OH the throttle and brake and so met
his death. While being lifted from
the wreck he asked if any of his "pas-
sengersn had been, killed, and when
informed that they had all escaped, he
said, regardless of his ownmortal hurt,
'That's good; lay me down; goodbye,
boys"
We cannot too much honor these
heroes of everyday life, who, through
their dominating sense Of duty, give
aJf that they have to give for the wei
fare ots, others. Theirs is the higher
courage, >Xhich does not rush impetu-
ously into the arms Of death, but
which, with calm, deliberate thought,
chooses death rather than life witE
duty undone. .-Daity. Paper.

Mr.. Burdette insists that he over

as follows on board train: "NoW l'll

asked me. Keep quiet. | have the

said to Mr.. Puffer: Come, let's get a

arm and not giving him a chance to
decline. When we met John O'HoW-
dy on our way to luncheon you said ::
Just in time, John; come take lunch
with u.s. And then tonight, when
we found the train an hour late, you
looked at your watch, turned to me
and said in q questioning way !:
Would you like a cup of coffee" And
I did want it; l was tired and a little
hungry, but l would have tainted be-
fore would have accepted such an in
vitation. And you went away little
bit vexed with me and had your coffee
and bread and butter by yourself, and
didn't enjoy it very much. In effect
you said to me: IF you want a cup Of
coffee, if you really want it, will buy
it for YOU You are the best husband
in the world. but do as nearly all the
best husbands do. Why do you men
seem to dole things out to your wives
when you fairly throw them to the
men you know? Why don't you in
vite me heartily as you invite men ?
Why didn't you say: Come, let's get
a little coffee and something and take
me right along with you? You
wouldn't say to man Would you
like me to 60 and buy you cigar"
Then why do you always issue your
little invitations to treats in that way
to me" Indeed, indeed, my dear hus.

Toplady,s conversion.

More than hundred years have
passed since young man in England,
who belonged to pious family, but
was himself far from God, was to find
God by strange means. He had been
the child of many prayers, but to all
the entreaties of his pious mother and
others he answered by inwardly resoIy-
ing not to become Christian. When
he and his mother were on visit to
Ireland, on the Lords day they went
to q place where good man was going
to preach. He was very earnest in his
sermon, and put the question to the
unsaved present, whether they would
give themselves to Christ or remain
rebels? Every time the young man
said in his own heart, II will not yield. |.
I will not yield.n His heart was har1
dened against Gods grace, and at the
close of the sermon it seemed to be
harder than everit had been. When
the sermon was finished, the minister
gave ont:a hymn. 1T begins:
"Come, ye sinner, poor and needy.
Weak and wounded, sick and sore. !
The congregation, stirred by the earn
est sermon, sung the hymn with;
their whole heart. And what q sermon
could not do, the singing of the hymn:
did. IT broke the hard, unyielding.
heart. He found God aud gave himself
to him. He lived to be an honored
preacher of the gospel. He was Au-.

Romish Tactics!

A vigorous writer for the Richmond
Christian Advocate, who signs himself
Rudolph" writing for the late South
ern Immigration Convention, at Hot
Springs, n. c., gives this note OF
warning.
The head, body and tail or the con-
vention are all Romish-the head in
New York under Rome's surveillance,
and tail in the palace of Cardinal Glib
bons, of Baltimore. And this conven-
ton, born of Romish thought and in
spired by Romish intolerance and ha-
tired to Professionalism, and set on foot
by Rome's devoted subjects, for the
purpose of colonizing the South with
popish subjects, is what they call q
"Southern Immigration Convention !'
"Immigration Convention?'' These
zealots of Rome concocted their
scheme, as they well know, to develop
Romanism in the South, but, in
order the better to get the pill down the
throat of the South, they sugar-coat
with the name Of Southern Immi-
grafton Convention"-and they were
keen enough to secure the services of
the governors of two or three South
ern States to help put the sugar on the
|pill. But the checklist thing in that
misnomered convention at Hot
Springs was the adoption Of resolu-
ton offered by Romanist, propos-
ing to raise the money to carry out
their popish scheme by requesting the
governors of the Southern States, the
President of every Southern railroad,
the mayor of every city, and the
proper authority of every town east
of the Mississippi, to cooperate in rails
ing the funds necessary to perfect a
plan to Romantic the South. These
prelates of Rome would have the
South RomaniZed as New York City
is to-day. They would like to see our
Legislature under Romish domination,
after the style of the Legislatures of
New York. They would like to see
the Bible kicked and swept from our
public schools by a huge Romish
broom.
If the South is to be colonized by
the importation of the fiery zealots OF
of the Pope from Ireland, Spain and
Italy, let not the South take any hand
lOr pay one red cent in helping to do it.
Better have the country filled up slow
Iy, wisely and surely with a class of
population who respect the institutions
of Christianity, recognized by the gov
ernment, and love that Bible which is
it's cornerstone, than to have poured
down on us. an avalanche of immigra-
ton under popish dictation and priestly
rule. Let US beware of these "South-
ern immigration (Catholic) Conven-
tions''-with face to the South and
Rome in the heart.
