but come to thee in the name of
the Lord of Hosts, the God of the
armies of Israel, whom thou hast
defed." Goliath came on, sure of
an easy prey, but David's first stone
stopped him. Like some great oak
felled in the wood, the giant tum-
bled on his face. His own sword
cut off his head. Then the Philis-
tines fled, for David had robbed
them of their champion.
David's fight with the giant was
one of the bravest deeds ever done
by mortal soldier; yet every boy
and girl may win still grander
victory. God calls us also to fight
with giants. Our struggle is harder
because the giants are invisible, be-
cause also you are never able to kill
them so that they can trouble you
no more. If you could take your
courage in both hands and march
out against some huge Goliath, it
would be a tremendous task, but
when it was done you could sleep
in peace. Your giants and mine
are never killed. David slew Coli
ath, but our giants afterwards gave
him many a blow. Only Gods
grace snatched him out of their den
before he became their slave forever.

Sit down by the side of your mother, my

You have only a moment, know;
But you will stay till give you my parting
advice,

You leave us to seek for employment, my
boy;
By the world you have yet to be tried
But in all the temptations and struggles
you meet
May your heart in the Saviour confide.
You will find in your satchel Bible, my
1t is the book of all others the best;
1t will teach you to live, it will help you to
die,
And lead to the gates of the blest.

have taught you the best that knew,
And as long as his mercies permit me to
live
will never cease praying for you.
Your father is coming to wish you good
bye;
o how sad and how lone we will be
But when far from the scenes of your
childhood and youth
You will remember your father and me.
want you heed every word 1 have said;
For it comes from heart filled with love;
And, my boy, if we never behold you on

Wherever your footsteps may roam;
o forsake not the way of salvation, my boy,
That you learned from your mother at

Girls Who Make Poor Wives

| never see a petted, pampered
girl who is yielded to in every
whim by servants and parents, that
| do not sigh with pity for the man
who will some day be her husband.
1t is the worshipPod daughter, who
has been taught that her whims and
wishes are supreme in a household,
who makes marriage a failure all
her life. She has had her way in
things great and small; and when
she desired dresses, pleasures or
journeys which were beyond the
family purse, she carried the day
with tears or sulks, or posing as a
martyr. The parents sacrificed and
suffered for her sake, hoping finally
to see her we'll married. They care
fully hide her faults from her suit
ors who seek her hand, and she is
ever ready with smiles and allure
ments to win the hearts of men,
and the average man is as blind to
the faults of pretty girl as a newly
Matched bird is blind to the worms
upon the trees about him. He thinks
her little pettish ways are mere
girlish moods; but when she be-
comes his wife and reveals her sell
fish and cruel nature, he is grieved
and hurt to think fate has been so
unkind to him.-EUa Wheeler W.T.

Faithful and Honest.

come here, Jimmy. Quick Just
looka here You never could guess
if you guessed for year"
- Jimmy, the round-cheeked, bright
eyed little fellow with the shabby
clothes and old shoes, turned at
sound of Rob Carriers voice.
Don't you know it's New Year?"
went on Rob. 'Father went into
the city last night, and see what he
brought back with him !"
The smile on Jimmy's face broke
the roundness into great dimples as
he gazed at the brightly-painted
sled which Rob drew forward into
sight.
"Phew !" was all he could say.
"Ain't it a beauty? Say, now,
don't you wish you had one exactly
like it?"
Any one might have thought it
cruel in the well-clad boy standing
on the back porch of the large house.
Don't youw he persisted.
"Wishes come true on New Years
Day, you know"
Poor Jimmy look up at the boy
who spoke with a glance that might
have showed thar his mind had in
some things grown old faster than
his face.
81 amt the sort that wishes come
true for" he said, half in joke, half
in pathetic earnest.
"Now, Jimmy, you're mistaken
said Rob. "Look here !"
Jimmy dropped the pail in which
every morning he brought the milk
to Mrs. Carriers, and stared in
amazement as two sleds appeared
where only one had been before.
With a hearty laugh Rob set the
pail on one of the sleds and gave q
rope into Jimmy's hand, saying
"Run home with it. That is yours
because father says you're the faith
fullest, honestest little chap he
knows. The other one is for my
little cousin Dick"
A full minute passed before Jim
my could really take in the astonish
ing truth. Then, with wild whooI
of delight he bounded off TOWARD
home
"Hurrah! Boys, hurrah !" Keen
frosty air, beaming winter sunshine
a smooth coasting-ground, brigh
faces, active limbs, CHEEKY voices
can any one give a more perfect pre-
scription for an afternoons fun?
Jimmy enjoyed his sled to tn
full, for he shared his enioymen
with every one else. Each boy haC
a dozen rides on it, and he fingered
late ON the ground, giving turns to
few who came later. Twilight wa
closing i'm as he finally turned to
ward home, after having i'm the poo
light run off the track and gon
over ledge upon some rough ic
lower down.
As ne quickly walked along
scraping ON the icy road ATTRACTED
his attention Looking back, n
saw by the light of the moon tina
something was wrong with his be
loved sled.
Something's broke" Jimm
bent over it i'm grief and dismay
"Just where that piece starts on
from the runner and goes over int
that beautiful swans head, and Jet
down that stick acrost the front
won't hold the rope no more. Spoil
ed, / know"
Jimmy's tears would not quit
stay back over this disaster to th
first nice hing lie had ever Gale
his own. Tying the rope as he hes
could, so that he could pull th
