"Can.t be u Christian and Fight"

An Indian boy, one of the converts
in mission school in the West, sur
prised his teacher one day by rushing
into the room where she sat and throw
ing his Bible into her lap.
"Take Bible ~ he said, in voice of
great excitement. Cant be O Chris
tian any more want to fight" and
he began to make fierce gestures with
his arms and head.
The teacher spoke calmly to him,
and tried to impress upon his mind
the necessity of sticking to his relig-
ion, no matter how much he might
be tempted to give it up.
81 can't" he exclaimed; want to
fight! Must fight; can't have Bible,
can't be Christian any more. Big In,
dian steal Winona's corn. Must fight
big Indian. Can't love God and hate
his BROTHER" laying his hand upon
his heart.
1t took a great deal of reasoning
and explaining to make him under
stand that it was the "fghtn that was
in him, and not the "Christian," that
he must give up; but at last he was
convinced that his teacher was right,
and taking his Bible, he went back to
the big Indian and read the passage
the teacher had pointed out: Let all
bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and
clamor, and evil speaking, he put
away from you, with all malice; and
be We kind one to another, tender
hearted, forgiving one another, even
as God, for Christ's sake hath forgiven
YOU"
What lesson might many profess
ing Christians learn from this poor,
untutored savage! They seem to love
their Bibles, and prize them above
everything else.
One of their teachers tells Of q boy
who, one night, went into the hopi-
tai to help care for the sick. AS the
matron was about to leave, she said :
"lou will be very lonely, Aona ]
will bring you some books and papers
that will keep you from getting sleepy
during the night"
"Got Bible along" said the boy,
drawing the book from his breast
pocket. "Guess I'll read Bible. It's
good; like Bible best"
The matron felt rebuked, for she
had not looked into her own Bible
that day, and leaving him with his
precious gift, she went to her own
room to read over some of the passa-
ges that had given the poor Indian so
much pleasure.-Belle Y. Chisholm,

And ye in rest sOft-i0lded lay.

a WITTY ANSWER BRoUG IIT Sue
cEss.-A young newspaper man who
last spring found himself in Whitman
County, Washington, 800 miles from
his base of supplies and "broke" hired
out to Il farmer. lie was set to plow-
ing with pair Of horses, but both
man and beasts being new to the busi-
ness, the furrows looked as if they
were the result of al earthquake rath-
cr than of design, so crooked and zig
zag were they. At the close of the
day the farmer rather testify criticised
the job. The newspaper man felt that
his doom was sealed, but mustered
courage col, to reply: II know the rows
are rather crooked, but the sun was
exceedingly hot to-day, and it warped
them." The answer turned away the
farmers wrath, and, instead of being
discharged, the newcomer was given
much easier and pleasanter job, and is
now the farmers son-in-law.

Shining and Trangressing.

In order to show in clear and SIM
pie manner the distinction between
sin and transgression of the law, or,
as some have said, sin "properly So
called, and sin improperly so-called." /"
I ask the readers attention to pic
ture, which while drawn from fancy,
is only transcript of what is con-
stantly occurring.
A father comes to his home and finds
his two sons, Thomas and Benjamin,
doing thing with which he is ex-
ceedingly displeased, He calls them
TO him and asks if they did not know
they were doing wrong. They both
declare their ignorance. He then very
plainly explains to them that what
they were doing is hurtful to them, to
the other members of the family, and
is also contrary to the law of God. He
takes the Bible and reads to them and
shows them that God has forbidden
it. He tells them it pains him very
much and that if he ever knows them
to he guilty of doing it again he will
punish them severely.
Some considerable time passes, when
on his entering the house one day, he
is met by one Of them (Benjamin),
running to him with tears in his eyes
and asking him not to be angry with
him, but to listen to him.
"Oh, papa" he said, II have been
doing that very thing you told us, a
good many days ago not to do. l did
not think. Bat right in the midst of
it I remembered what you said, papa,
and I quit. am so sorry. Oh, papa,
please do not be angry with me, please
forgive me ~
Is my reader q parent? If so, what,
let me ask, would you do under such
circumstances? Would you not as
sure the trembling transgressor of your
sympathy, love and forgiveness?
Proceeding into the house the father
finds Thomas engaged in doing the
forbidden thing. He says. "Thomas
do you not remember told you that
was wrong and never to do it again ?
That ] would he exceedingly dis
pleased ard would have to punish
you?"
ayes sir"
"Why, then, did you do it?"
because L wanted to-" he replies,
while with dogged, downcast look, he
continues doing what his father had
forbidden.
What can the true, faithful and low
ing father do but punish him?
Now both these children broke the
law. But was there not wide diff
ference between the nature Of the two
acts?
The former brings no gilt and no
condemnation.
The latter merits and receives both.
So in regard to committing sin
against God. While the soul is filled
with love of God, from ignorance, in
ability, and q multitude of causes,
the child of God may and does trans
gress the law of God, but he does
not want to, and the indwelling
Holy Spirit gives his power not
to do what he at the time knows is
contrary to the law of God. And so
he lives day by day in peace with God.
"Free from the law,
o, blessed condition"
He may be deceived, and may yield
to temptation as did Eve and Adam,
and be persuaded to do what he knows
to be wrong. Then he commits sin
and is guilty and condemned. Moth

The Master Of the House.

He cannot walk, he cannot speak,
Nothing he knows Of books or men ;e5S
He Is the weakist of the weak, ~
And has not strength to hold pen.
He has no pocket and no purse,
Nor ever yet has owned penny,
But has more riches than hfs nurse,
Because he wants not any.
He rules his parents by q cry,
And holds them captive by smile;
A despot strong through infancy,
A king from lack of guile.
He lies upon his back and crows,
Or looks with grave eyes on his mother
What can he mean ? but, suppose,
They understand each other.
Indoors and out, early and late
There Is no limit to his sway;
For, wrapt in baby-robes OF state,
He governs night and day. -
Kisses he takes as rightful due,
And Turk.like has his slaves TO dress
him; q
His subjects bend before him. too;
I'm one of them. God bless him.

The last census showed what a won

place in some of the United States.
some gaining nearly a million and
others half a million of inhabitants
within ten years.
One of the things the census did not
show was the number of bald-headed
people in the country. They are mum
bered by the million, forit is estimated
that not one man or woman in hund>
red has a fine head of hair. Every
year the bald headed population of
the United States increases, and 1T is
asserted by competent authorities that
ii the women of the country continue
to depend upon artificial means to
remedy the ravages OF time and dis
ease, it is only a quest on of time
when a bald-headed race will be
evolved.
The greatest remedy of the age for
lack of vigor in this important natural
appendage is the Louisiana Creole

gradients that have been found by
long experience the best adapted to
the promotion of the growth of hair,
