A Man in the Ditch.

About eighteen months ago three minis
tiers were walking on a country road q
little north of Aberdeen. 1t was late at
night, and they had been attending a
meeting in the country. As they went
along they noticed countryman in state
of intoxication scrambling on all tours out
of ditch.
One of the ministers said, II must 60
and speak to that man."
The two tried to dissuade him, telling
him it was of no use, and he would get
nothing but abuse. Aut the minister
said THE Spirit of God bids me, and
must speak to him."
By this time the men had got out of the
ditch. The minister began to speak to
him, whereupon the fellow took off his
coat, and wanted to fight him.
The minister said. Il can fight, but not
with your weapons" and getting down on
his knees he began to pray very earnestly
for the man. AS he pleaded God touched
the mans heart, and he got down on his
knees beside the minister. By the time
the minister had finished his prayer, the
| drunkard was ready to be spoken with; ane
he was pointed to SIM forgiving Savior
They stopped at the first cottage on thu
road, and asked the people If they coule
lodge the mao for the night.
| After looking at him the cottager said
"Why, we have just been holding I
PRAYER meeting for that very man. He i
INV brother. We have had a special praye
meeting tonight to ask God for his sal
| vation."
Five years afterward the minister wa
! yladdened by knowing that the man wa
still standing living witness to the powe
of God, and was being used as a grea
bl =ssing to others.-MnnnG.

Retired from the Stage.

Miss Mary Anderson, who is q Louisville
fady, has ever been regarded as one of the
few pure women on tue stage. She has
neen used as an argument against the
preachers and others who condemn the
theater as evil in its influence and ten

NIGH be few persons on the stage who
were not corrupt But now Miss Ander-
son has permanently retired FROM the stage
becs use she is con vinced 1t Is evil and she
declares that she will never attend a
theater again. This is no instance of dis
appointed ambition, for Miss Anderson AZ
tanned the highest distinction OF any
woman ho has acted in theater OF this
generation. Sometimes people find out q
thing is wrong when they try to do 1t and
fail. Not so IN this case.
Neither is it q case of decayed popu-
larity. After men have worn themselves
out, even though they have attained sue
cess along certain lines, they sometimes
have conscientious scruples which never
bothered them during their times OF sue
cess. But Miss Anderson's popularity has
suffered no diminution. Indeed the de-
claring of her conviction that the thester
was wrong was called forth by an attempt
on the part of manager to engage her
for IS, 900 week. Here then is pure
woman who thought she could have an
honorable career on the stage maintaining
her uprightness and avoiding all wrong.
She Was Influenced by no Puritanical
ideas. She regarded the stage as proper
aud honorable profession and she achieved
the highest success in it. Vet she finds
after q thorough trial that it is all wrong,
and she declares she will never act again,
nor will she countenxnce acting by her
presence. If this does not convince
those church members who have been in
clinsd to apologize for the theater, we dc
not know what sort of evidence would con,
vince them.-W. Recorder.

Diving Deep.

1t is not much good just reading the

it. But it says great zeal about search
ing the Scriptures. And it says great

heard they come from the bottom OF the

bubbles and foam. But David comes
along, and he dives down under the water
and he brings up wonderful pearl, SO he

Faith.

Faith is one of the most necessary ele-
ments of happiness and prosperity. 1t
should always be cultivated in the hearts
and minds of the young. How often We
ste young people starting out in life, lack
ing this one thing and they prove uttel
failures.
They seem to want to prosper and yet
they hav, no confidence in ANYTHING they
undertake. Even before beginning they
say Il know | ahall fall" and they do.
On the other hand look at those who start
upon their life voyage full of energy and
hope They have faith in their own ability
and have this motto written upon their
minds, Il will succeed" and they mos,
assuredly do. Who is able to 60 into any
kind of work and do their duty If they
have already assured themselves that they
will fail?
We do not mean to encourage big feel
ing and egotism, but We sincerely believe
it is best for every one to estimate them
selves at their true value.
OF course we meet with some difficulties
in life that can not be overcome no matter
how much confidence we place in our
efforts, but as a general rule those who
have faith on their side will most certainly
conquer.
1t is well to have faith in others as well
as ourselves a nd above all in Him who
guides al things and then we will be fsl
better fitted to place our confidence IL
worthier obj ects in this world. NJ, L. 5

Rurdette on Being Something.

EVERY young man." says Robert j..
Burdette, the American humorist, must
begin by being something himself. II Is
fine thing to have had great great
grandfather, but bless you, that grand
father Is dead When Lincoln was needed,
his grandfather was not sought for; Queen
Victoria is descended in an almost I'M
broken line from the Conqueror, but she
can't help it. Have confidence in your
felt. Don't forget that you will be found
out if YOU are worth discovering. Early
in life take off your coat and 60 to work ;
in that lies success. There may be a
genius, as there are white crows, but a
white crow does not amount to much more
than his black fellows. Know thoroughly
one thing, and you will succeed. knowing
more of one thing than any other man,
YOU know more t1an ten thousand men,
and you become an authority. You may
be cslleda crank. but never mind, the
world would not move without cranks.
When God wants a weather vane, He takes
the highest possible material, but when
He wants a crank He takes something
solid. Every man who has worked out a
great idea has been called crank. l

Example of q Little Girl.

Kate johnson, little girl, was one day
standing, ready dressed to 60 out, at the
window of London house. A lady had
promised to take her for drive, and the
little girl, delighted at the thought of 60
ing, was waiting. Presently the carrae 9
drove up to the door, but the little girls
pleasure was all gone when she saw the
horses had tight check reins on.
1t is hardly necessary to explain that
check reins are short reins attached to the
hit and secured to hook on the saddle, so
that the horses head is held up and he
cannot stretch out his neck to it's full
length, and is thus tortured and often in
jured whilst in harness. hate was very
fond of horses, and could not bear to see
them i'll treated by the cruel rein.
"Oh, mother p she said, 1.-The horses

mo, my dear" said her mother, "not
if you would really rather not"
"If must 60, must" said she, "but
snail be miserable ali the time, for can't
bear to ride behind horses who are in
pain"
So Kate decided not to CO. she gave uF
the pleasure of the drive because she
would not have any part in treating horses

very good of her to give up the drive, but
it did not do any good towards stopping
the use of the rein. She was only little
girl, and what could her example dor
But let him wait until he has heard the
story, and then see whether the example
of a child was without influence.
Hates mother went down to the lady in
the carriage to say that her daughter
would rather not 60 for the drive. The
lady was surprised, and begged to know
the reason. When she was told, Check
reins," she exclaimed, Il never knew thai

The lady was quite ignorant of the fact
but should not people who keep horses
look to their comfort2 Perhaps she hsc
never troubled herself to think whether
her horses were i'll used or not
So the carriage drove away and the lit

afterwards what was the chiid's delight to
