1t is mistake which we make, un-
consciously oftentime and yet amistake
when we separate our lives into secular
and religious parts. We can, of course,
use the terms for convenience sake.
But the Christian has no right to real
ly divide up his life into such parts.
II is mischieveous in the extreme to
permit ones self to think that any
part-0f course, in such case it is the
larger part-of his life is secular, and
hence removed from under the control
of religious considerations. The whole
life should be consecrated. If a man
undertakes to serve God at all, he
should serve God wholly. The Chris
tian should be religious at his work as
well as at his worship. TO carryon
ones daily calling in the spirit of the
gospel will oftentimes have more po-
tent effect for the good of Others than
Il great deal of religious talk. What
the,world needs to-day, perhaps more
than anything else, is religion carried
into the daily business, and that sane.
titled. The life of the Christian
must be of one texture all the way
through, in business as in devotion.
The golden thread of piety must run
through and beautify it .all.-Chris-
tian Weekly.

Making Room.
BY MRS. ELLA BEECHER CUTTINGS

BY MRS. ELLA BEECHER CUTTINGS.
Jack and Charley sat on the kitchen
doorstep, in the shade of the big will
low-lree. eating their morning lunch
of crisp soda-crackers. jacks pet ban
tams, forgetting for the time their im-
portant little strut, scram bled SO eager
iy after the crumbs that every now
and then the boys bare toes got a Wig
orous peck from their greedy little
bills.
Little four-yea. old Matty, hearing
the boys laugh, wanted her share; OF
the fun. She ran to the door, cracker
in hand, and said eagerly: p .
"Eet me sit there too !'
But Charley's blue flannel knees
were so wide apart that one Of them
touched Jacks grey jeans, and the
other lay against the door casing;
Against the opposite casing leaned
Jacks head and shoulder. So 1t hap
pened that Charley said hastily:
There isn't any ROOM" -,
And in the same breath Jack said
Grossly:
"Oh! 20 way, Mattv, and find some
other place. It's too crowded with
YOU" , 80.
Matty put her little blue gingham
sleeve up to her eyes, and lett a trail OF
cracker crumbs across the kitchen
floor, as she ran to lay her curly head
on mammals lap, and sob out that the
bows hadn't any room for her to help
feed the chickies. But in a minute
Charley's voice rang out in the kind.
est of tones:
"Come on, Matty; here's room for
YOU"
And Jack called also:
"Yes, plenty of room, right between
u.s."
Matty brushed away her tears and
ran back to the kitchen door. Sure
enough, between the blue flannel and
the grey Jeans there was room enough
for two such tile mites of girls as she
was.
"How did you happen to find room
so auickly?" asked mamma, smiling
1--WE made it," said Charley, putting
his arm lovingly about Matty's shoui
der's, and throwing out big crumt
for Mr.. and Mrs. Bantam to scramble
after.
Remember, dearies," said grand
ma from her corner, "thele's plenty Of
room in this world for every kindly
deed, if only we choose to make it,.

Hardly Ever Without a Smile.

1t was a sultry day in August, and q
tired, over.heated woman had toiled
all day in the little peht-np kitchen.
AT last the baking was all done and
the last dish was washed and wiped,
and she pressed one hand on her
throbbing temples and sighed as she
reached up to take the mop down from
it's hook to scrub the kitchen floor.
Things had "gone wrong' all day, and
she scolded and grumbled to herself
while she pushed the heavy mop to
and fro, back and forth, or wrung out
the thick cloth with aching fingers.
She felt that her lot was hard. to be
baking and scrubblng and fainting all
that day, while her neighbor lust over
the-fence was lying at easefn her ham,
mock out under the trees and singing {:
."oh, nobody knows the trouble haver'
Presently door ives opened softly,
and her little daughter picked her way
with prudent steps where the floor had
not been wet and climbed to q safe
perch on the table. The mother mop
ped away, hoping she need not speak
to her, M open my mouth s6a ihonsh shall
and kept her lips shut tightly.
The little one watched her for q
short time, bending her sunny head
this way and that to study the down.
cast countenance, and finally she
spoke. ...-..
Mamma" said she, II have hardly
ever seen you without a smile ON your
face" Il
"One time when you looked sorry
was when was so sick, and the other
time was. now," resumed the serious
little voice; and the child leaned her
cheek upon her hand and sighed.
The mop handle dropped suddenly
upon the floor, and two bare arms for
got thtir aches and pains and clasped
the darling in fond embrace. : ''Sing
to me, Alice. Sing:
Nobody knows the comfort have.
while I finish this patch of dirty floor.
There's one good thing about a little
tucked-up kitchen, it doesn't take long
to scrub itW I,-
So it came to pass that. out of that
day of weary toll was learned atimely
lesson of self-coutrol and patience that
never was forgotten. Two times Of
''looking sorryn were quite sufficient
to live in the memory Of her children.
Messenger. .
The mother turEed away for a mo-.
ment's rapid thought. Was it indeed
true that she had made such al i'm
preston on that dear child's heart !;
and should she spoil it now? Should
she not rather set herself thenceiorth
to keeping smiling face through all
life's petty trials? How sweet to be
rem EN- bered thus by all the children
and her husband, too, for pleasant
looks and ways! -" 49,. '|
