"You must exterminate every hu-

"All right" the student agreed.

There is a gain in linking Sunday
school study with home worship. In
many household the daily readings
at family prayers have bearing on
the next Sundays lesson and to this
end passages of Scripture are indicated
as ''Home Readings" in most of the
lesson helps of the International series.
But there are homes where the lesson
itself-for the coming Sunday-is read
over every morning in the week at
family prayers and this plan seems to
work admirably, wherever it is EN-
ployed with any degree OF skill. 1t
takes a long time to get at the full
meaning of simple passage of Gods
word and seven-fold reading OF any
one passage is not too much for wise
man, nor yet for supplemented
child. Each morning dlscloses some
fresh phase of truth In the reading.
And each morning every child who
has Il part in the service can recall
somewhat more than the day before, of
the narrative of the teachings of the
passage, if he is questioned about it by
his father or mother. ut The hour of
reading. If a child has been over II
lesson Mt home every morning in the
week, he is not likely to be found on
Sunday without Il fair understanding
of that lesson.-S. S. Times,

4 Pretty Handbag.

1t is made of black satin, and is
eight inches wide and ten in length.
The satin is of the very best quality,
for handbags must be made to stand
wear without growing shabby. The
bag is lined with black silk, and its
opening at the top is faced two inches
deep with dark-red satin. At the low
er edge of this facing is run a sheath,
in which is drawn piece of elastic
ribbon, which partially closes the bug.
Ribbon of the same color as the facing
forms the strings. Two yards and u
half of ribbon, an inch and three-quar-
ters wide, allows strings twenty-three
inches long, and makes nice bows on
each side of the bag. The bottom of
the bag is covered with trimmings
made of rings crocheted over with
black crocheted silk, each ring being
Joined to the next as the work goes Oh.
This trimming is all of black on one
side of the bag, and is five rings deep.
On the other side rings covered with
red crocheted silk to match the strings
alternately with the black rings so as
to form diamond, and this diamond
reaches up to the middle of the bag.
This is the handsomest of the many
handbags we have seen, and with tile
directions above given any one accus-
toned to crochet work can make it
without difficulty. There are l39 rings
in all. One should buy twelve dozen
lat two cents dozen.)
Handbags of every description are
very much worn now, and it is to be
hoped they will remain in fashion. The
dress of men affords almost unlimited
place for pockets, while women. as u
rule, have one poor little pocket, and
that is often almost inaccessible.
The handbag above described was
made to contain a handsome Oxford
Bible, which the owner wished to car
~ easily to and from church and Sun
day-school without weaving it out by
handling, and the size of the Bible
suggested the size of the bag.

Lottery Gambling.

Sixty years ago the lottery system
seemed so firmly established in this
country, and so widely prevalent, that
it required much moral courage on the
part of the statesmen and philanthro-
pists of that day to attack so gigantic
an evil.
The report of committee appoint
ed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania
to Investigate the subject, in 1881.
states that there were III offices for
the sale of lottery tickets in Philadel-
phia alone: that the tickets were
drawn on an average more than once
q day and that the system presented
IAN appalling picture of vice, crime
and misery in every varied FORM"
The publicity given to the evils of
lotteries about that time, led to their
abolition in Pennsylvania and other
States; 80 that. latterly we believe,
Louisiana has the bad pre-eminence
of being the only Safe in the Union
which will tolerate the system.

A Focus Point.

He has lens in his hand. He holds
it in the sunshine, posing it above q
piece of paper. He waits patiently for
results. He does not pull his lens
away and then thrust it forward, but
steadfastly holds, and patiently waits.
That lens is gathering up and bringinG:
TO point the rays Of the sun that fall
upon it. Each separate ray ma kes no
unusual warmth, but watch under the
lens that intense flash in the focus
point. How it glitters, that little disk
of fire How it dazzles your sight !!
How-but look Smoke is rising from
the paper! Flame how! The paper
is quickly consumed. The success Of
the kindling was due to the bringing
of the rays to u point, and then pa
tiently holding them there.
The man who handles that lens is
teacner in the Sunday-school, and in
his relations to his class lie will do q
like thing. The focus-point with him
in his work is the bringing of his
scholars to Jesus, and he makes every
separate ray of effort bend that way.
He is teaching. 1t may be the geog-
raphy of the lesson first arrests his at
tention, but in leading his scholars
over those old rebellious roads of Ju-
dea he will not forget the sorrowful
way leading up to Calvary. When it
is the simple gospel, how he will clear
away all obstacles that there may he
straightforward looking to the cross.
He is calling upon his scholars. In
all his intercourse as friend, lie will
not let them lose sight of the Friend
above all others.
He is praying for his class. He does
not forget that focus-point of his ef-
forts. His burning prayer is: "Give
me these souls for Jesus, o God ~
He watches his example. He speci-
ally strives that his conduct shall lead
Christward, and that Mondays life
shall not hinder Sundays teachings.
He not only makes the saving of souls
the focus-point of his efforts, but he
patiently holds to this one great end
his t.aching, his intercourse, his daily
conduct, his supplications.
What will be the inevitable result of
such persistent efforts? There will be
a flame of conviction breaking out in
his scholars hearts, burning need in
which prejudice and procrastination
and the resistance of will, human
and selfish, shall be consumed away,
and the soul be melted into submission
to God. Try it, holder of this power
full lens, you that have a place in the
Sunday-schooi. Have this focus-point,
and the Sun of Righteousness will not
suffer it to be in vain.

Various Thoughts.
By JOHN HEMMENWAY.

If Christians would give a wicked,
fighting world bright and beautiful ev-
idence that they are the true "Chil-
dren of Cod" they must do more than
to send many missionaries to pagan
nations; they must be practical
"Peacemakers" by earnestly endeavor-
ing, by the help of the "God Of peace"
to convert the so called "Christiam ma
tions" of Europe and America from
the worst form of paganism now Oh
earth-thc pdganism Of a0dr, which al
lows and glories in the great slaughter
of Christians and sinners on battle
fields, and done under the attempted
holy conservation of the prayers Of
chaplains, who claim to be the true
ministers of Jesus "the Prince of
Peace"
Our great anxiety should be not to
gain a mere title to heaven, but to pos
sess and keep nature and character
fit for heaven.
Very miserable is the man who loves
nothing 50 much as money, and fears
nothing 80 much as losing money.
Miserable are all those who never
had sorrow enough for sin to make
them miserable.
Miserable is the man who is poor
and afraid he shall never be rich.
He is great benefactor of the hui
man race who gives the world in print
one good original thought.
Every candid, intelligent person.
who studies the principles of Christi
anity and the history of nations, will
clearly see that war is the most horrid
and atrocious sin ever known on earth.

An Ingenious Woman.

When Edison had given two weeks
of his valuable time to going up and
down the New York elevated railroad +,
trying to discover what caused its
noise, and cure for it, he gave up the
task. Then a little woman took it.
She rode on the cars three days, was
denied place on the rear platform,
laughed at for her curiosity, and po-
ltely snubhed by conductors and pas
sengers. But she discovered what
caused the noise and invented RENE
dy, which was patented, and she was
paid the sum of $4,000 and a royalty
forever. Her name is Mrs. Mary Wal

could preach whole sermon upon the ev.
crlasting blessings OF IL good newspaper. A
good newspaper is the create temporal bless
ing that God has given to the people OF this
country. In the first place all the people read
the newspapers, and then the newspapers fur
nish the greater portion of the reading of the
people. They don't read books. The old peo-
pie look for the deaths. the young people look
for the marriages, and those who are unem-
ployed read the want advertisements. Great
libraries make few intelligent men and wo
men, but the newspapers lift the nation into
sunlight MY idea OF Il good newspaper is a
mirror OF life itself Some people complain
because the evil OF the world Is reported as
well MS the good. The evil must be reported
rs well as the good, or how Will we know what
to guard ourselves against or what to reform
There Is chance for discrimination as to how
much space shall be given TO such things as
prize fights, but the newspaper that merely
presents the fair and beautiful and bris sht,
sunny side OF life Is Misrepresentation.
That family is best qualified for the duties of
life who have told to them not only what good
there IS In the world but the evil, and Is Told
to select the good and reject tho evil.-Dr.

are never behind the times and there Is a
