son, although his knowledge of the
evil never passed from acquaintance
with temptation into acquaintance
with actually committed sin.
He has shared our human expert
ences also. For whole generation
he was a member of an ordinary hu-
man household. The ties of home,
the familiar cares and duties growing
out of the life of the household and
the neighborhood, the very tempta-
tons to which humanity in any form
or at any time is exposed-all these
are known to him, and are unders
stood by him, SO that he can enter
fully into the feelings of each of us,
his disciples.
He comprehends us, furthermore,
by the aid of his divine omniscience.
He is not only truly man, but also
truly God. He understands our ma
ture because he gave 1t to us, and
cur circumstances because he obtain
ed them. His sympathy is not only
tender and unlimited, it is also per-
fectly informed, even as to the Sc
cret influences which often shape our
lives so powerfully, yet which we
rarely detect entirely, and often over
look altogether.
All this suggests a comforting
truth. Although our Lord knows all
about our moral failures and our
sins, and appreciates their guilt far
more keenly than we do, he also
knows all about our struggles against
temptation, our efforts to rise above
discouragement, our good purposes re-
newed in the face of defeat, and our
sorrow and shame because of our un-
faithfulness. Not one of our faintest
aspirations or endeavors toward bet
ter things escapes the quick notice OF
his constant, helpful love. Is it i'm
deed a comfort to know that he does
understand us thoroughly?

kneeling that we can cleanse the soil
Of our own hearts Of the quick.grow-
ing and poisonous weeds that are
there. My prayer breaks the bonds
of many temptation that holds me.
My prayer is the test for many a
masked evil that seeks to seduce me.
My prayer will be like a drop of poi
son on scorpion-it will kill the sin
on the instant. We shall conquer as
we go into battle as the Puritans did
with the old psalm upon their lips:
"Let God arise, and let his enemies
be scattered" five would build a
holy character on holy faith it must
be done with the help of prayer in
the Holy Ghost.

Forgetting the Things Behind.

Lyman Abbott.
There is grace in forgetting as
we'll as in remembering; there is a
genius in knowing what to discard as
well as what to keep; and both these
are the invariable possessions of a
successful and efficient life. No man
of conscience can forget his sins; no
man Of judgment can forget his mis-
takes; but he does not carry them
with him. What he does carry is
the experience which has come to
him through them-the strength, the
wisdom, the grace of character,
which have been developed by what
they have brought or what they have
taken away.
A mans real life is always before
him; the past is only valuable for
what he can learn from it. The days
fade from all distinct recollection be-
cause these artificial divisions of time
are of no consequence except as char
acter has grown or degenerated in
them. A mans greatest achieve
ment, once accomplished, begins inn
mediately to recede, and becomes less
and less in his eyes. No really great
man has ever reposed on anything
which he has done; there has always
been the consciousness that he was
greater than any expression he had
given of himself, and that the real
satisfaction and joy Of his life lay, not
in the work, but in the doing of it.
One task succeeds another, one eX-
perience follows another, in endless
SUGGESTIONS; a mans work is never
finally done because his life is always
expanding, and the time will never
come when this law of progression
will cease to operate. There can be
no heaven which is not a heaven Of
development. 1t is great waste OF
strength to make ones faults and
blunders and sin impediments in the
onward march. There is no virtue
in continually bemoaning the mis-
doings of the past. Real repentance
is not lamentation, but girding III
the loins for the work of expiation
Let the dead old year bury its dead
leave behind the depressing memories
of failure and defeat, while you carry
their lessons in your heart. You
real life is not behind but before you
ii is the new year and not the ole
which is your opportunity.

Praying in the Holy Ghost.

The prayer which helps us to keep
in the love of God is not the petulant
and passionate utterance Of our own
wishes, but is the yielding of our de~
sires to the impulses divinely BREATH
ed upon us. As Michael Angelo says,
1.-THE prayers we make will then be
sweet indeed if Thou the Spirit give
by which we pray" Our own de-
sires may be hot and vehement, but
the desires that run parallel with the
divine will, and are breathed into us
by Code own Spirit, are the desires
which, in their meek submissiveness
are omnipotent with him whose ON
nipotenceis perfected in our weakness
Such prayer is the true help for the
builder. His right attitude is on his
knees. When men go out to weed
some great field they often kneel a

Prayer for Children.
Presbyterian Observer.

Presbyterian Observer.
Surely among all prayers that 60
up to God none are dearor, are more
prevailing than the intercession Of
parents for their children. They are
the hallowed breathings of the purest,
tenderest love. Such prayers, if per-
sistent, believing, and importunate,
may we not say that God always an
swers in some way in the end? Mo.
MICA, the mother of Augustine, prays
for her son. For time he goes deep.
er and deeper into sin, and it seems
that the mothers supplications are
unheard or unavailing. But she
faints not; she will not give him up;
she refuses to be disheartened. For
many years her son wanders far from
God, farther and farther; but she
stays at the alter, undismayed, be-
lieving still, and pleading with re-
newed earnestness. At last all her
intercessions are answered in one
hour, when Augustine falls down al
Jesus feet in submission, and in
stantly turns all the wealth of his
splendid life into the service of his
new Master.

DRESS.

Both men and women are accus-
toned to think and say that ques-
tions of mere dress are too small for
serious exhortation, especially from
the pulpit or the religious press. Yet
Gods Holy Spirit thought them of
sufficient importance for Him to in
corporate them into His word. Three
times in the New Testament does He
speak to women of their dress, and
gives fundamental rules to govern
them in their adjoining. Why? Be-
cause dress is both expressive and
suggestive of ideas. Just as the chaste
mind will always instinctively choose
chase words to clothe its ideas in, so
the woman of chase, modest mind
will instinctively choose modest APP
parel for the body. The woman who
by means of the low cut dress, or
transparent covering, exposes just
enough to suggest the unchase
thought, does it because of the un-
chase mind in herself. We commend
most heartily the following from the
Nashville Christian Advocate, and
pray all our women to read and pom
der it:
The article of Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps, in the August Forum, on
"The Decollette in Modern Life" is
as plain a piece of writing as we have
seen for many a day. This capable
woman does not spare the indecencies
of our fashionable society" at any
point. AS to the "evening dress"-
say, rather, undress-she says: "The
time has come for such a protest
against this abomination es will
smite women in the dust for shame"
In another paragraph, she adds:
"Let us have done with playing
about the fire, and call a low thing
low, and out with it. AN IMMOD
EST DRESS DOES NOT COVER A
MODEST WOMAN. If your COS
tune is coarse and vulgar, you car
blame no pen which calls you coarse
and vulgar" Still again she declares
Between the ballet girl who dances
for her bread, and the society Cir
who dresses as'she does for a title o.
a fortune, there is a gap TO be sure
but, for one, 1 would take my chance
with the ballet girl if I had to fac,
the social standing of another life
with either record behind me-" Or
the subject of dancing, she is equal!

Our consciousness of our need Of
sympathy is no more widespread or
positive than our consciousness that
often our human friends fail to SYM
pathise with us intelligently. They
do not lack a kindly interest, but
their sympathy does not go deep
enough. They simply do not under
stand us Though and through. Bless
ed are we when we have learned that
our Lord Jesus Christ does thus COM
prehend our Utmost being, and all
its varied wants. When everybody
else has failed us we still can turn
confidently to him.
He understands us because he
shares our own human nature. He
was as truly a man as the neighbor is
who walks down town with us every
morning, and he has declared that,
no matter what changes his death,
resurrection, and ascension may have
worked within him, he still is essen

Preacher and people, we need more
of Christ. More of Christ would
make that sad home bright, that
wavering soul steadfast, that break
ing heart happy, that mourning spirit
glad, that burdened conscience light,
that selfish nature generous, and
make those who are parted in enmity
stand with clasped and forgiving
hands. More of Christ would smite
down sectarian walls, and win out
casts to the fold. More of Christ is
what we all want in our hearts and
homes, in our business and politics,
in our schools and universities, in our
churches and pulpits.

IN THE FIELD OF sronrs.y Y syEl
Reading After Prince,

There Is good deal of talk being made
by the friends of Ned Reading, the soldier
bicyclist who recently defeated Frank Ding
ley of Minneapolis in such off hand fashion,
of matching him against Jack Prince in
q six-day twelve hour day race tor 81 900 a
side. While Jack is somewhat averse to
tacklng his old pupil in a match race, he
says he will suffer no bluff. but if the Read
ing parties mean business he will make the
match and beat him, too. The general opin-
lon however, is that Prince would find this
a stupendous job indeed. He has not ridden
any for months, while Reading has been IN
constant practice and made such rapid ad-
vanccment as skilltul racer tnat a race be-
tween them would PROBABLY be one
sided affair. 1t is hardly prob
able, if it eventually comes to a
show down, that Jack will he, there He
is a handy man with his chm, but wnen it
comes to pltting himself in both speed and
an endurance race with such man as Read
ing, it is quite likely he will be able to fur
nish good excuse for not undertaking the
task. However, the race may be made.
