Why are Some Christians Like the
Wasp.

Some Christians, like the wasp, are
largest at their birth, and gradually
dwindle into much smaller compass
as they progress. They come into
spiritual life with a rushing mighty
wind. They are Jealous, heartily
converted, they seek opportunities
to work for the Master in season and
out of season, and they bid fair to be
a mighty help to the Church, and the
world. Then come discussions among
the brethren, and the one who was so
big at his spiritual height begins to
shrink within his own selfshness be-
cause he cannot have his will graft
fed. Then comes in the deceitful-
ness of riches, and the cares of the
world, to choke out the good seeds
sown the Christian who is largest at
his birth ceases to develop or bring
forth fruits of the Gospel until the
heavenly Father, in his tender mercy,
delivers up such for the destruction of
his flesh by the evil one, to the saw
ing of his soul, for not one that the
Father hath given to the Son shall be
lost. It is better to be largest at
spiritual birth than not to be born Of
the Spirit at all; but it is far better to
be born spiritual infant, and be fed
upon the pure milk Of the word,
learning in humilityo unto the end
till Christ shall make us perfect by
his grace unto the end of our Chris
tan pilgrimage.

The Use of Working,
Lewiston Journal.

Lewiston Journal.
"What is the use of aman's work
ing himself to death in order to get
a living ?" No use if he lives simply
to eat, but if he eats to live and if he
works till he dies, intelligently,
busily, wisely, he lives to the highest
purpose; for idleness is not only the
parent of vice, but one of the worst of
the vices. More people are killed by
loafing than by any other vice. To
one man who oVerworks there are
scores who overload, overeat and
overdrink. Then our prayer should
be not less work, but less drudgery,
more variety, more scope for the
mind, 1.-The body and the heart. So if
we work ourselves to death in get
ting living we die in good cause,
and may hope for busy and a useful
post norton life, from which dudes
and all other tramps are constitutions
ally debarred.

Protect the Quail.

"The quail destroys more insects
and gives greater protection to the
farmers fields and crops than any
other feathered friend that walks the
ground or fans the air and takes for
itselfalmost no toll of fruit or valued
seed for all the good it does" The
writer of this eulogy is none too en-
thusiastic. The quail or bob-white
Called PARTRIDGE is a very valuable
assistant to the farmer. Some of the
states-Michigan is one-make it a
criminal offence to kill quail at any
season of the year. 1t would be wise
for all states to do the same. There
is rapidly growing public sentiment
in favor of protecting our birds; 50
if such laws are passed, their enforce
ment is almost sure.

Peace to the Soul.

Faith is not only the messenger
that brings you a pardon from heav-
en-; but it is, as l may say, that heav-
emily herald that publishes peace in
the soul of a sinner. O peace, how
sweet a word art thou! how welcome
to poor condemned sinner! "Beah-
tiful upon the mountains are the feet
of them that publish peace" Now
it is faith that brings this blessed
news and publishes it in the soul,
without which the publishers Of
peace without us, can administer but
little support. Rom. v. /. Faith

The Race Improving.
New Orleans Picayune.

New Orleans Picayune.
An English newspaper has been
making a collective investigation re-
garding the question given below:
81. Does your experience suggest to
you that the race of Englishmen is
degenerating physically? . Do you
think that the great advance in the
healing art is responsible for keeping
alive much weak life that will in
time affect the whole race injurious
ly? 3. Do you think that the in
creased indulgence in physical sports
has, on the whole, a good influence
on health 4. Has 1t ever struck
you that probably the great attention
paid to health in these days may be
producing an anxiety about bodily
ailments which is a disease in ITSELF"
Answers have been received from a
long array Of practitioners, among
whom are the names of eminent
London physicians. The general
view taken, according to The Medical
Record, is that Englishmen are not
degenerating, but that, on the whole,
the race is improving in vigOr.
