 What if men do not appreciate your labors of love, God sees and will re- ward. And as He never forgets to give perfume to the flowers. ,.so He will per fume your life with His love, if you are doing His will.-[Karl Hugh.

 We want more household religion. All
 through the Old and New Testaments are accounts of children being taken in
 to church with their parents. You'll
 never convert this world if you look for revivals among adults. How is this world to be saved? Get the children. I say the same to the temperance people.
 Train generation of children that does
 not want any liquor and there will be
 none sold.-[Rev R. R. Meredith, D. D. If anything is made by both Christ's precept and Christ's example, it is that we are to go after the wandering, not 10 wait for the wandering to come in unto
 us. He taught this doctrine by reiter- ated parable; He enforced it by a life , example. So far as we can judge from the records, He himself did more preach- ing outside of the synagogues than in them.

 does not affect God, because His plans
 are all made and He never changes any thing, but still they encourage us to pray because prayer is good for us. Now :. suppose that you were to go, hungry and : miserable, on bitter cold night, to a ! prosperous neighbor and knock at the
 door, and he should arise and say, sI = cannot let you in, for my plans are all : made for the night, but want you to
 keep knocking until morning, because
 know it is good for you to knock"
