RELIGIOUS READING.


TEiL JESUS.
When thou wakcst In the morning,
Ere thou trea,l the untried way
or the lot that lies before thee
Through the oming busy day,
Whether sunbeams promise brightness,
Whether dim forebodings fall,
BE thy dawning glad OF gloomy,
Go TO Jesus-tell Him ALL
In the calm of sweet communion
Let thy daily work be done;
In the peace Of soul outpouring,
Care be banished, patience won;
And If earth with its entertainments,
Seek the spirit to enthrall
Ere thou listen, ere thou answer,
Turn TO Jesus-tell Him all
Then, as hour by hour glides by thee,
Thou wilt blessed guidance know;
Thine own burdens being lightened,
Thou canst benr another's woe:
Thou canst help the weak ones onward.
Thou canst rnise up those that fall;
But remember, while thou servest,
Still tell Jesus-tell Him ALL
And II weariness creep DER thee
AS the day wears to its close,
Or IL sudden, fierce temptation
Brings thee face to face with foes,
In thy weakness, In thy peril,
Raise to heaven trustiul call:
Strength and calm for every crisis
Come-in telling Jesus all.

DENIED, YHr ANSWERED.

When Augustine, In his home at Carthage,
resolved to visit Rome, his mother wished
either to prevent him from going, or to go
with him. He would listen to neither pro-
posal, and resorted to trick TO carry out
his plan. One evening he went to the sea.
shore and his mother followed. There were
two charels dedicated TO the memory of the
martyr Cyprian, and he pressed her to spend
one evening in the church of the martyr.
while he would accompany n friend on
board ship, there to say farewell.
While she was there in tears, praying
and wrestling with God To prevent
the voyage Augustine sailed for Italy,
and his deceived mother next morning
found herself alone. In quiet resignation
she returned TO the city and continued to
pray for the salvation Of her son. Though
meaning well. yet she erred In her prayers.
t1r the Journey Of Augustine Was Tie means
Of his salvation. The denial of the PRAYER
was in fact. the answering Of IL. Instead Of
the husk, God granted rather the substance
OF her petition in the conversion of her SON.
Therefore" said he, so God thou hast re-
gard To the aim and essence of her desires
and didst not do what she then prayed for
that thou mightst do for me what she con.
tinuElly implored. ."-AHon.

The Board of Trade Soliciting Com
mittee is Doing Good Work.
The committee appointed by the
Salem board of trade to make can
yass of the city for funds to be used
in advertising the city ,began their
work yesterday and were successful
to an unprecedented degree. They
succeeded yesterday in raising Sl4o
which will be paid monthly. This
amounts to S1GSO for the year.
They continuing the solicitation
to-day and have raiseCFan amount
nearly as large. Last year Salem
spent $4,000 in tlfs way, and it is
the desire to havethem double that
sum this year. Surely the expendi-
ture of such sum would be of un-
told benefit to the city. The $4,000
expended last year was worth thou
sands of dollars. 1t brought many
people here. And they are still
coming-all the result of judicious
advertising.
The committee will not rest over
their labors until they have raised
$4,000 with which it is proposed to
advertise Salem during the year.
