with wonderful sweetness and patient en-

to an ordinary boarding house. No one

AT request from a dear friend for
something from her gifted pen for our De-

were written after some sleepless hours
consequent upon a bit of dressmaking.

Kitchen Piety.

lOr or anywhere else, said a young house
keeper to me the other day, after relating
a succession of annOyances. "There was
Ellen using one of my bestand finest tow
els for a dish-wiper, and my new granite
stew-pan was just hopelessly blackened
and burned over. a furious fire; couldn't
help throwing out few cross words"
1t was with a sad assent that thought
of the possible truth of her remark about
a Christian spirit under such circum-
stances. No one knows but the house
keeper herself the almost unbearable trials
which sometimes fall to the lot of those
who have incompetent and careless help
in the kitchen. 1t takes considerable
sanctifed endurance to bear patiently
without fretting, series of ill-coOked
meals, to say nothing of thousand and
one tile worries, the pin-pricks that are
hardly worth speaking of vet in their
very insignifcance have such power to
spoil our peace
The kitchen truly is the place where
oftenest is displayed our most unamiable
feelings, where fretfulness and quick,
sharp words come oftenest to our lips.
Satan very well knows how to put larger
stumbling blocks for our unwarv feet in
the kitchen than in the parlor 1t is there
the world sees the wrong side of us for
that matter, while in the parlor we are
quite inclined TO get little more credit
for amiability and sweetness of DISPOSE
tfon than properly belongs to us.
1T will not do to ascribe our failures in
Christian living even to most adverse cir
eumstances. Suppose Ellen did use our
nice silver forks to toast the bread with,
repeatedly brings to the table the poorly
cooked steak and the soggy, under-done
bread and pies; breaks the handles from
all our china teacups, it will not do for us
to yield to such disastrous defeat as TO
fail to "rule the spirit" The call things
which Paul speaks of doing through
Christ who strengthened might include
matters of much more serious provoca-
ton.
A great deal depends upon the helps
and hindrances we place in our own paths.
We must learn to control circumstances,
rather than let circumstances control us
The Chinese have their kitchen god, who
is supposed to preside over all their
household affairs. How much more
do we need Divine help to patiently bear
all the petty trials, and they are legion,
which originate in the kitchen.
How many of us have seen in cathedral
windows and books of art those charac
terless faces of saints, around whose
heads visible halo shines They belong
to a mythical poetical religion. We do
not know where they obtained their
halOs, or whether they rightly earned
them, but we do know that in some of
our hot, unpleasant kitchens there are
those who have something to do with
the prose of religion-a religion that is
lived in the kitchen. No shining halo is
visible to the eye, but it is there Just the
same, and does not need the ascetic garb
or the crown or the halo to make them
uncanonized saints at least.

BY MRS. F. D. FENNER,

must linger an hour removing
These stitches dsfgurng mine"
And then. while the long seams measured,
Meath eyelids with sleep pressing down,
saw what was first unregarded,
And my brow mantled dark with froWn;
For my haste in completing the garment
Had centered each wandering Thought
And had forgotten to measure
NV skill by my guide as wrought
And when essayed to unravel.
The work no more needed by mine.
Lo. both must be severed and broken,
And neither seemed true to line!
There we're places where both ran together,
And nv brow shadowed less at the sight,
But the thread had notified appearance.
Nv black with the dressmaker's white.
At length, in despair, bethought me,
.Twere best my own work to undo
Else, losing my guide, the repeating
Would end but in failure when through.
So | took out the wearisome stitches,
And before me in beautiful lines
Lay the pattern by labor provided
From artistic measures and signs.
And close to the delicate tracings
We're the threads had scorned in my haste.
While the fruit of my impatient labor
Had ended in nothing but waste.
Again and again on my pillow.
That garment seemed passing review.
At my work so crooked and useless.
Tstruggled and toiled on anew.
But the flush of the orient opened
A pathway of rest to my soul
And rose in the scattering cleaning
With duty not haste my control
And often and often that morning,
As finished my garment with care,
thought of the work of the Master
In which he has hidden us share
How seeming too anxious for fruitage,
And caring too little to please.
have marred in the doing. His pattern
And crossed His plain paths ct my ease;
How sometimes, when working together,
To further the good and the right,
My part has been black with it's selfhood
And His has been spotlessly white.
Until in my grief at unliteness
And anguish at footsteps beguiled,
1 cried. "Oh, my Father in heaven,
Forgive Thy long wandering chd!'
Then my room grew resplendent with brightness,
light had been longing to see,
And out of His word Christ was saying
"Be careful in following me
"Look not down at your falterng footsteps,
Take Ny hand and look up to the sky
Look not back DER your failure-strewn pathway
But forward your Maker is nigh!''
So learning with Joy to entrust Him
With all that am and do
am trying to toll for the Master
While keeping His footsteps in view.
And if sometimes my imperfect service
Conflicts with His plainly taught will,
grieve for the fruits of my weakness
And trust in His tenderness still;
And if somehow may in my labor
Lift desolate heart to the light,
"Ts because He has strengthened and helped me,
With His guidance, His grace and His might.
