antagonized, yet to-day it maintains a
growing hold upon mankind. True,
skeptics claim it is passing out of date,
and that science and education are SUI
perseding it, but facts do not warrant
their statements. Never were Bible
societies so active, nor the Scriptures
so widely disseminated. The number
of volumes issued by the British and
Foreign Bible societies during the past
year was four million, while the Ameri-
can Bible Society was only little be-
hind in its issues. 1t thus appears that
there were more Bibles published and
circulated during 1890 than there were
during all the centuries preceding the
present one. Nor, in view of the won
derful opening in heather lands, has
the Bible ever had more promising
prospect for gaining possession of mind
and heart all over the world. AS from
age to age it has shown itself suited to
all conditions of people, so, as the ages
come and go, will it become more lum-
nous with its triumphs over supersti-
ton, ignorance and sin, and manifest,
to the discontinue of its assaiants, that,
it is the Word of Life and Power for
the race.-ETchdnge.

Prayer.

"Why do you keep turning that
wheel, pilot?" asks little boy who
has wandered into the pilot-house of a
steamboat. "I turn the wheel, my
little man, to make the current help
carry the boat down the river" "And
can you by turning that wheel change
the current of this great river so that it
will run under the boat?" "No: but |
can cause the boat to go into the cur
rent, and then l keep turning the wheel
that it may not drift out again" Now
if prayer will change the course of our
lives so that we shall come more di-
rectly into the current of Gods influ-
ence, which at all times makes for
righteousness, then prayer is more eff
fectively answered, so far as we are con-
cerned, than if that current had been
actually diverted from its regular
ourse.-ChriStian Register.

Habit of POliteness.

1t is never too early to begin to be
polite. | know little girl, who is only
twelve years old now, who for at least
five years has written letter acknowl-
edging any courtesy received that she
could not acknowledge by voice. She
always answers all letters within a rea-
sonable time; every little gift, no matter
how small, is acknowledged at once,
and this has become such habit that
if anything prevents her writing, it dis
tresses her greatly. Being polite is as
much of habit as is cleaning her nails
or brushing her teeth. No one will
ever hear that little girl, when she grows
up to be a woman, say that she had no
time to write letter if il is impolte to
neglect wiring it. No one will ever
hear her say that she has no time to re-
turn call or acknowledge any social
attention. She will make time, for she
will feel that it is as much part of her
duty TO acknowledge and return a social
attention as it is to keep her house
clean, or care for her children, or do
any of the things that our mothers have
to do.-The Interior.

Beecher as a SchOOlbOy.

Mrs. Stowe gives characteristic &C.
count of grammatical exercise at
which her brother, Henry Ward
Beecher, assisted in his schooldavs
The teacher was drilling her pupil in

"Now, Henry" said she s'a is the
indefinite article, you see, and must be

You can say a man, but you can't say
men, can you?"
Yes, l can say amen, too" was
the rejoinder; "father says it always at
the end of his prayers"
Come, Henry, don't be joking; de-
cline he"
"Nominative he, possessive his, OBJ
jective him."
You see has is possessive. Now
you can say his book, but you cannot
say him book"
Eyes, do say hymn book, too" said
the impractical scholar with a quizzical
twinkle.
Each one of these sallies made the
young teacher laugh, which was the
victory he wanted.

Making Straight Paths.

who knows how to make a straight
path through the snow?" said Uncle
Frank one day last winter, when he
was out by the meadow fence with Tom
and Johnny and me.
" Seems to me anybody ought to make
a straighter one than that one Joe
Bates has made across the meadow"
| said.
"Well, if you think so, suppose we
each try it, and we'll see who knows
the most about making straight paths"
Uncle Frank said with smile.
" Johnny, you start somewhere toward
the east corner of the meadow, and
Tom, you start west of us and Will
and l will make our paths between.
We should not be too close to each
other, you know. Well stop about
half way across and compare notes"
"Paths, you mean" said Tom, start
ing toward the west side of the meadow.
Halfway across Uncle Frank stopped,
and we each turned to look at the path
we had left behind us. Before l
turned around l was sure l had not
stepped either to one side or the other
since l left the fence, but of all the
crooked paths 1 ever saw think mine
was the crookedest. l could hardly be-
lieve it was my path when 1 saw it, but
of course it was. Johnny and Tom both
made paths little straighter than
mine, though not much; but Uncle
Franks path was as straight as an ar
row, or looked so compared with ours.
"There's some kind of arithmetic or
something that Uncle Frank knows that
helps him." Tom said. "He didn't
just happen to walk as straight as that"
"Uncle Frank knows so much about
arithmetic and such things that he just
thinks of rule and goes by it when
ever he wants to do anything"
How did you do it, Uucle Frank?"
Johnny asked.
I" 1 just fixed my eyes on that tree
over in MIR. Bates field when 1 started,
and 1 kept looking right at that. OF
course l went straight toward it 80 long
as my eyes were fixed on it. That's
the way to make straight paths-look at
one thing ahead of yOu," Uncle Frank
answered.
Then he went on to say something
about making straight paths for your
feet. That is in the Bible, aud Uncle
Frank knows as much about the Bible
as about arithmetic.-Gidnt Killer.

Display at Funerals.

George William Curtis says of
ostentation at funerals, that it is
sad commentary on Christian CON-
munity, which takes that distinctive
title from religion whose founder is
called the CONSIDER, because his word
plucks the sting from death, that it sur
rounds death with every circumstance
of woe and gloom. The distinctive
ministry of the faith seems to fail at the
very point to which it is especially ad-
dressed. The natural Christian tone at
the burial of the dead would seem to be
the cheer that springs from the thought
of immortality-a sublime hope, ten
der resignation. The Christian thought
in that hour should instinctively dwell
upon the soul, not upon the body, and
the simplest and most transformations
rite of burial would seem to be the most
truly Christian. But the ostentation
of Christian funerals has become so
great that burial reform associations
are formed, both in this country and in
England, to relieve the poor of the
painful and needless cost which, from
mistaken respect for the dead, they
will not spare so long as ostentation is

The Workers Die.

Quite noiselessly the seed Is sown,
But well the sower tolls.
He keeps outside the strife of men,
He does not seek their spois
But steadily and faithfully
He sows the perfect seed;
Not his to reap the harvest,
Yet his the nobIer deed
But an how empty seems the world
When the quiet workers die
You do not know their names, perhaps?
They are well known on hight
And where they lived, and loved, and wrought,
Their little world was blest;
For their lives were made all beautiful,
And Jesus gave them rest.
The earth can never be the same
When its best have passed away
Who does the Masters business
As faithfully as they2
They were the gentle peacemakers
In the church and in the home,
And their good lives were one long prayer
Lord, let thy kingdom GOMEZ
And It has come for them They see
The Christ; they join the psalm
OF praise; all storms are over,
And they are in the calml
They see the face they longed to see,
Forgotten all their care;
They are within the Fathers house,
And nothing grieves them there
They leave sad hearts to mourn them,
And drear and empty space;
Who can ever fill itS
oh, God of love ana grace,
Thou knowest how hard 1t is on earth
All that Is best to miss
Give aching hearts the comfort
To thank thee for their bliss.

Our Sons ano Girls.
A Curl Story.

know little girl
Whose bright hair loves to curl
In pretty little, fluffy little rings;
But when nurse brings the brush
The tears will quickly rush
To her eyes, and this dolefu song she sings;
Boo-hoo-hool Don't comb my hairl
Oh dear me cannot bear
such pulling and a twisting every day,
How 1t hurts me Please let gol
Ican't stand it, and know
Some day shall surely have to run away"
Then this funny little girl
When each glossy little curl
Has been finished, dances laughingly away;
And she shows them to mamma
And she shakes them at papa
" See the 6ooyfai curls that nurse made to-day"
