There are wages for every Christian

the wages. If he does, he will lack the
very spirit which is to receive the re-

Here is q sentence from George
Macdonald worth bearing in mind "All
the doors that lead inward to the secret
place of the Most High are doors out
ward-out Of self, out Of smallness, out
of wrong"
Helping another may be the hest
possible method Of helping ourselves.
Selfishness will often prompt us to de-
sire help from others; but it is not sell
fishness that impels us to give help to
others. Therefore it is that we may be
losers through the gratifying Of our sell
fish desires, when we would be gamers
through the exercise of our unselfish
endeavors.-S. 8. Times.
Fire is used to test the purity of
gold, and 50 Affections and trials are
used in the providence of God to test the
reality and strength Of Christian faith.
The trial of faith by this process is
much more precious than that Of gold
by fire. Blessed is the man whose faith
grows brighter by the trial. His faith
will at last be crowned in Heavenly.

A GOOD MOTTO.

Dear boys, l want to give you
A motto safe and good,

Obey It in the spirit,
Obey 1t IN the letter
Don't say a thing is good enough"
Till 1t can be no better.
And whether at your lessons,
Or ut your daily work,
Don't be a half way dabbler-
Don't slip and slide and shirk,
And think 1t doesn't matter
That such talk Is trash" and stuff
For until your task is perfect,
1t Is nerer good enough"
Nyour work is in the school
Make every lesson tell;
No matter what you mean to be,
Build your foundation well.
Every knotty point and problem
That you bravely master now
VIII increase your skill In labor
With the pen or with the pillow.
II you sweep store or stable,
Be sure you go behind
Every box and bale and counter;
1t will pay, you'll always find,
To be careful, patient, thorough,
Though the work be hard and rough;
And when you've done your very best,
Twill then be "good enough"
30 you'd better take my motto,
If you ever mean to work
To any station higher
Than stable boy or clerk.
1t will make you independent,
1t will make you no mans debtor,
Then nerer say otis good enough"
Till it can be no better.

library and to a free reading-room.
Better than all, she sent professor and
doctor-scientific men-to talk to him
and make him feel that he belonged to
their guild.
This is my friend, Mr.. Lex" she
said, as she introduced him to the
doctor. HE can teach you much about
spiders"
The Scotchman eyed her keenly as
she spoke. There was whisky flask

called him her friend.
After she was gone he took out tho

Why had she been able to save him?

THE BARS OF CLUBS.
They Are the Main Support Of Those In
situations.


situations.
When the proposition to prohibit tho
sale OF alcoholic beverages in the Union
League Club of Brooklyn was under
discussion several of the members ex-
pressed the opinion that political club
could never be carried on with such Q
restriction.
If the practice Of those clubs general
ly affords criterion Of what their re-
quirements are we presume this is q
sound opinion. A very great part of
the receipts of the Union League Club
Of this city, for instance, comes from
the sale Of wines and liquors on every
day of the week. The bar is one of the
most important features Of the house,
and its profits are essential to the main
tenance of the establishment. If it
were closed on Sunday the club would
not only lose considerable revenue but
the members frequenting the house,
and more especially the restaurant,
would be loud in their cutlery against
such an abridgment Of their privileges.
They are ready enough to advocate the
prohibition of the sale Of liquors on
Sunday in outside bars, but they will
not submit to it in club for which they
themselves make the laws. They want
their drinks on Sunday as on other
days.
1t is very doubtful, therefore, wheth.
er the experiment of shutting up the
bar Of the Brooklyn Union League Club
on Sunday will be more than tempo
rarily successful, though the vote in its
favor was nearly unanimous. The sort
Of men who attend q club with any
thing like regularity are usually those
who have no prejudices against drink
ing, and who are convivial in their tenn.
permanent. They also are the members
who are most influential in the affairs
of the association, because they are
most about the house; and even If they
did not have their way the other even
ing, they are sure to have it in the long
run. They would not join club un
less they expected to get the privilege
Of drinking when they pleased.
The only way to assure the perma'
nent closing Of the bar on Sunday is to
shut it up altogether. The result would
be disastrous to the club, probably; but
If the encouragement of Sunday drink
ing is reprehensible, it is fully as wrong
to encourage drinking at any Other
time. If the provision Of alcoholic bev
erages is discreditable anywhere, it il
more especially culpable in club com
posed of men who profess to regard 9

Proportionately to the number of theil

they are likely to continue to do SO

RELIGIOUS MATTERS.
PATHS OF LIFE.

Each life and each station has crosses.
And shadows will darken the sun;
And we count DER our gains and our losses
In the brief little day we have won.
We stand In the sunlight Of gladness
And Joy that our life is not vain,
Then descend to the shadows Of sadness
And drink Of the vintage of pain.
Around us walks many brother,
While his path is reflected In ours;
sometimes the dark shadows will hover,
And sometimes he walks mid the flowers
And though upon earth We are strangers
And our fingers may clasp nevermore,
Each path has its crosses and dangers,
Each leads to Eternity's shore.
As stranger look In their faces,
And as strangers they, too, look at me,
As we journey each one in our places
Each hoping some solace TO see;
In our journey we jostle each other,
All seeking some heavenly good
But In one thing, at least, we are brothers,
In failing to do as we would.
Oh, the stains Of the world lie ave their traces
Wehave sins that We can not atone;
There sadness and pain on all faces
AZ each journeys his pathway alone.
But when we are grieving and sobblng,
When tears for our sorrows will start,
Then close to our own there Is thrObbing
ChSist's tender, compassionate heart.
Then journey we onward as brothers,
Each leaving his errors below,
And bid we God speed" to each other
As In pathways of duty we 60.
There's Joy that will come after sorrow,
There are chaplets that wait to be given,
There's glorious, wondrous to morrow
In the gladness and rapture of Heaven.
