The Boy Preacher Era.

Another boy preacher has sprung up
down in Georgia. He is IS years old and
draws great throngs to hear him. Oh,
well, there's nothing remarkable or
unusual about this kind Of preashing.
We have heard men of 60 years old
preach sermons that a boy ofll might
have written. But we never thought it
was powerful, preaching. 1t was calm
ing, tranqunlzing, sedative in its effect,
and fellow with convenient post to
lean his head against could enjoy it un-
til the congregation, rising to sing the
closing hymn, brought him to present
wakefulness once more. Thirteen-year-
preachers are an out-growth ofthis cen
tury. The great Teacher didn't think
himself prepared to preach until he was
a man of 80 years, but then, that was
nearly 1000 years ago. You take boy
with the advantages of a common educa-
ton now, and he is fully qualified to
make a hop, skip and jump right into
places that would scare the halo off an
angels head. BY all means let the l3-
year-old boy keep on preaching. But if
we were his mother, which is impossible,
we'd see that he ate his porridge earlier
than usual Sunday evening, that he
might close his service in time to be in
bed by half past eight, any how. This
IS the era of "boy." \ "boy soprano" is
starring through the country; it is
wonder incredible his manager didn't bill
him as the boy prima donna !" girl
boy" is nothing new. BY and by there
viii be the hoy bassO profundo," and
the "boy voter" the oldest boy" and the
"boy president" and about 1892, look out
for the "boy discoverer of America"

day Camiola entered the homestead as
its mistress, 1t was strange ending to
her love story, she thought. She was
there at last, but how? 1t almost SEEM
ed to her as though some spiritual union
had taken place between her soul and
Ben's and in the sleeping-room, on a
peg near the door, she hung his coat and
hat. There they hang always, and TO
the stranger who sees them and looks at
the mild old lady rocking in the great
chair as she sews or knits, it seems as
though the master of the house were
within-up stairs somewhere, perhaps.
1t often seems so, too, to Camiola.

THE GIRL WHO HELPS HER
MOTHER.

There are girls who paint and girls who play
And girls who dance with grace
And girls who steal our hearts away
With charms of form and face
But there's girl whom ] respect
Much more than any other
And as a wife shall select
The girl who helps her mother.
Although it may be out of style,
She grants her mothers wishes,
Nor does she idle all the while
Her ma is washing dishes.
She has a kindly, lovirg way
For parent, sister, brother,
She proves blessing every day,
The girl who helps her mother.
She may not read the latest trash
Nor sigh for filtration,
She may not care to make mash
Nor pine for sensation.
Such lives as hers with grace abound
Add love for one another,
She scatters sunshine all around
This girl who helps her mother.
