Ef0PEFgENES ESS.

II onr hearts are lowed down with trouble
and care,
Shall we sit and mourn in the darkness?
If shadows and clouds are spread overour sky,
Must we shut out smiles aud giadnese?
Because in life's windings we make mis-step,
Need we sit by the wayside bewaiing?
Must we give up all our friends in life,
Because some prove weak and failipg?
We should take our hearts with their WOUNDS
and sears
To Him in who-e touch is healing.
From behind the clouds spread over our sky,
We should watch for the sunshine stealing;
And all the mis-steps VIC make on life's path,
We can surely retrace before sleeping;
And we know that the friends who fail III here
Are never halfworth the keeping.
Let US face the foes that infest our path,
With the will for their oyerthrowing;
And with every battle We fight in life,
Will our strength and muscle be growing.
Let us watch he skies thatare dark with mist,
With a faith that he days will be ligh hter;
And with courage, love and hope in our hearts
Our lives must grow stronger and brighter.

FEARIS CHILDREN.

When a child shows fear at the moaning
ratiling Of the shutters on q Winters
night. it is not fair to say to him; ''Ob,
nonsense. What are you afraid DIP That's
nothing but the Wind There is 40 help
to the Child in that saying, but there is
harm to him, in it's suggestion of the
parents lack of sympathy with linn. II,
however, the parent says at such a time !:
''Does that sound trouble you9 Let me
tell you how it comes:' and then goes on
to show you how the wind is dong God S
work In driving away causes of sickness,
and how it sometimes makes sweet music
on wires that are stretched out for it 10
play upon--.he child may come to have a
new thought about the wind, and to liste \
for it's music on the shutters or through
the trees.
| Oae good mother sought TO overcome heI
little boys fear of thunder by simply telling
him that it was Gods voice speaking cut
of the Heavens, but that was one step too
many for his thoughts to take as yet. The
thunder just as it was was what gave
him trouble, no matter where it came from
so when the next peal sounded through
the air the little fellow whispered out des-
pairiugly: Mamma. baby doesn't like
Gods voice. and that mother was too
wise and tender to rebuke her child for his
unreadigess for that mode Of revelation

Parents often wonder what has ruined
their BOYS. They have been in school
every day, but the lessons of morality and
leportmsnt inculcated there seem to have
been asted on barren ground. The truth
is, boys are allowed to run on the streets
from the time school closes until late al
night The street is the best place in the
world for teaching prodigaity, vice ano
crime. Nearly all the bad language ana
idle vicious habits which beys acquire are
learned on the streets late st night. Ieach-
ers may be able to accomplish little III
aountsracting these evil influences, but
,,neh ~ their labor " i'll be in vain until
parents cooperate with them by keeping
their boys of the streets at night.

And from my soul obscuring all the light.

Telling and suffering paiii from day to day,

These by my side no evil did fear.

W hen sent from those who have my burdens

Then live for the best and to yourselves be

When these scenes are past our friendship
