ten treat the country boys as Of old the
one from Nazareth was treated at Jer
usalem. Slain not by hammers and
spikes, but by instruments just aS cru
cl. On every street Of every city the
crucilixion goes on. Every year shows
its ten thousand Of the slain. Oh, how
we grind them up! Under what wheels,
grist! Let the city take better care Of
these boys and young men arriving
from the country. They are worth
saving. They are now only the preface
of what they will be if, instead Of sac
ri(icing, you help them. Boys as grand
as the one who with his elder brother
climbed into church tower, and not
knowing their danger went outside on
some timbers, when one of those tim
bers broke and the boys fell, and the !
older boy caught on Il beam and the
younger clutchcd the foot of the older.
The older could not climb UP with the
younger hanging to his feet, so the
younger said. "John, | am gong to
let go; you can climb out into safety, !
but you can't climb up with me hold !
ing FAST am going to let go; kiss
mother for me and tell her not to feel
badly; good-bv!w And he let go aud
was SO hard dashed upon the ground
he was not recognizable. Plenty OF
such brave boys coming up from NaZ-
arGth, Let Jerusalem he careful how
it treats them. ~ gentleman long ago
entered school in Germany and he
bowed very low before the boys, and
the teacher said, "Why do you do
not know what mighty man may yet
be developed among them" At that
instant the eyes Of one of the boys
flashed fire. Who was it? Martin Lu-
ther. y lad on his way to school pass
ed door step on which sat Il lame and
invalid child. The passing boy said to
him, "Why don't you go to school"
"Oh, aId lame and | cant walk to
school" Get on my back" said the
we'll boy, "and ] will carry you to
school" And so he did that day and
| for many days until the invalid WAS
| fairly started on the road to au cluca-
ton. WHO was the well boy that did
that kindness? ] cont know. Who
WAS the Invalid he carried? 1t Was
| Robert Hall, the rapI pupil orator Of
| ail Chrjstendum. Better give 90 the
| boys who come up from Nazareth 10
Jerusalem Il crown instead Of Il cross.
CANA IN GALILEE.
In about two hours we pass through

the wedding OF a poor relative, having
come over from Nazareth for thtt
