Courage !

Wounded l know it, my brother,
The sword hath pierced thy heart;
Courage in silent endurance
Play thou the hero's part.
Make no sad plant or moaning,
Smile as in days before;
Wrap thy mantle around thee,
Cover the bleeding sore.
Fight yea, fight with God-weapons,
Give blow no blow but smile;
Head up step Quit march steady!
Tramping along the life-mile
Brother, the road thou'rt treading
Thy Captain himself trod;
Shrink not. if his order come ringing,
Forward the City for Godr'
Finch not, though comrades be falling,
Though loudly death drums beat;
The bugles of God are sounding
Forward and no retreat"
Pledged to follow thy Captain,
Through good report or i'll;
With cheer, take the post set thee,
Rejoice to do His will
Rejoice, if He think thee worthy
To front the fiercest foe:
And wrap thy cloak around thee,
Thy wound let no man know.
Good Words.

women than this precious Word of
God, which he has given us as the
living bread which cometh down
from heaven. We know that it is
the Spirit of God which enables us
to feed upon it to our spiritual
nourishment. But we also know
that those portions of it which we
have made our own at all times and
seasons are those upon which we are
able to feed most frequently and en-
joyably.--N. y. Observer.

the Word, but when, having read
Tor ourselves and having tested our
new knowledge under the true light
OF common sense, doubts and diff
cuItles arise, we go back TO our
Scott or to our Henry, and find
that the new discovery is but the
ghost of theory long since dead
and buried. Heresies are the spawn
of ignorance. The arguments that
convinced the master-minds of our
leaders will, if understood, impress
the truth upon Christians of to-day,
and what the Church needs for pro-
lection against these internal enc
mics is information.
1t is cause of regret that Chris
tians often fight their allies instead
of the enemy. The strength of
Protestant Christianity demands
fellowship, love, cooperation. But
if we throw away our weapons for
fear Of injuring our friends how
shall we fight the enemy ? Sup
pose an infdel says to me:
I've been reading your Bible,
and | find there much about bap,
tism. What is baptism, anyhow,
and what does it signify"
Oh, l don't read that part of the
Bible, because the Baptists and
Presbyterians don't agree on it.
just read where it tells of love and
mercy"
Would any thinking man accept
the religion of such an ignoramus?
The knowledge and clear under
standing of the truth by preachers,
elders, and people kept the bull
warks of the Church strong against
all the opposition of the middle
ages, and such a defense is needed
to-day.
A study of the truths of Chris
tianity is necessary to its progress.
We cannot teach what we do not
understand, and in order to 90 for
ward we must profit by the expert
ence of others. If l start for the
North Pole l follow the rout of
others as far as l can go, and then
try to 60 beyond. Let our people
study the route that the Church has
gone over, and when a stranger at
tempts to lead them off on an old.
deserted by-path.they will recognize
the danger-signals of former pill
grims and go straight forward. To
fight over again the battles al
ready fought might teach us the
art of war, but we would gain no
ground. The prudence of theolo-
gians and conservative Bible-stu-
dents is not to be mistaken for sloth.
In order that the Christian NAV do
a good work he must as Paul saws
of the elder "Hold fast the faith
full word as he hath been taught,
that he may be able by sound doc
trine both to exhort and to con-
vince the gainsayers" The runner
makes good preparation, goes into
| training, studies how to run, starts
carefully, husbands his strength,
increases his speed as he goes, and
outstrips. the swift but needless run
ners that wasted their strength on
the first half-mile. When Presby.
terians, when Christians inform
themselves of the great truths
taught in the Bible; when they love
these truths as a heritage from their
heavenly Father, bravely, strongly
maintained and defended with labor
and blood by succession of noble
ancestors, then Will they with more
assurance, energy, and power give
themselves to the work of making
known to the world the fulness Of
our gospel. GELANEs.

PRAYER.-The Christ who prayed
on earth teaches us to pray and the
Christ who iutercedes in heaven
helps us to pray, and presents our
poor cries, acceptable through His
sacrifice, and fragrant with the in

Among so many excellent articles in

the best is made. AS an aid in selecting
the following brief summaries are given.
The advice to every person to read one,
at least, and as many more as possible,

Worth Thinking About.

1t is to be regretted that so little
thought is given to the wise spending of
money as compared to the jealous atten-
ton given to earning it, is the opinion
expressed by Caroline K. Sherman in the
Chicago Herald. Parents take unwear-
led pains to fit their children for lucra-
tive positions, and having educated them
in this direction do all that is possible to
secure valuable openings for them, as if
this were the ultimatum. Little thought
is given to the question of what the
child's life should be, little thought as
to the culture of individual tastes and
aspirations; the one idea seems to be to
fit the child for making money, as if.
succeeding in that, all else would follow,
Beyond question it is desira BILE that every
child should be fitted for gaining an hon
est livelihood and for giving to the world
an equivalent for what he has received.
Still this does not in the least interfere,
but on the contrary is helpful to that
other idea that every human being should
have some worthy object in life to which
money getting and money spending
should be directed and subordinated.
With noble end in view expenditures
will always be wiser than where the i'm
pulse of the moment is the occasion for
spending, or, worse yet, where an I'M
worthy rivalry tempts one to initiate and
surpass his neighbors. 1t is this servile
spirit, this lack of individual purpose,
that works so many social ills and makes
life so unsatisfactory. TO spend and be
spent, to give ones best energies to an
unworthy cause and find it out when too
late, that is the real death from which
there is no resurrection.

The Dentists Work,

Very few people realize how much the
dentist has done for mankind. To men,
ton one thing only, the perfection to
which the manufacture of false teeth has
been carried has practically abolished old
age-that is, old age in the sense that l
used to know it, says a writer in the
Globe-Democrat. You see none of the
helpless, mumbling old men and women
that you formerly did. This is not be-
cause people do not attain the age their
parents and grandparents reached, but
because the dentist has prevented some
of the most unpleasant consequences
of advancing years. Men of 20 no
longer either look or feel old, because
they are not deprived of nourishing food
at the time when they need it most. Es-
Inmates have been made showing that the
average length of life has been Increased
from four to six years by the general use
of false teeth, and this does not appear
in the least extravagant when one thinks
of the difference in the nutriment acces-
sible to one with fine set of molars and
one condemned to gum it through his
declining years.

The Growing Age.
[From Youths Companion.]

The brain of the child is proportion
ately much larger than an adults, but of
much softer consistency, and it's convo-
buttons are not complete until the seventh
year. This is one of the reasons why
early study is dangerous. The child's
heart beats much more rapidly than that
of an adult, and the growth of the heart
instead of being regular like the growth
of the body as whole, is accomplished
by fits and starts. The more rapid action
of the heart renders the child peculiarly
liable TO fever and the liability is further
increased by his weaker vital resistance.
Hence childhood is the special season for
scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough
and other similar complaints. The irreg-
ularity of the hearts growth may give
rise to disturbances of the organ of
seemingly dangerous character, but with
proper care they will pass away as the
heart attains its full development. Such
proper care includes ample nourishment,
sufficient sleep and the avoidance of spe-
cial strain. The season of rapid growth
and development, say between the ages
of ten and 20, needs particular attention.
Nature is then at work, as it never will
be again, in building up the tissues and
developing the nervous sensibilities.
This is the period which makes the larg-
est demands for an out door life, for pure
air, sunlight, active exercise, abundance
of nutritious food, vigorous digestive
tract, ready assimilation and active
elimination of waste. 1t is the period of
study and ambition, as we'll as of wis
dom that thinks itself wiser than it is.
The increased mental activity needs to
be regulated by experienced teachers and
considerable mothers, lest the brain be
worked at the expense of other organs
and tissues. Duller minds should not be
forced to keep step with those which are
naturally more active, and the influence
of the home and the schoolroom should
be tranquilizing and adapted to evoke
the kindlier feelings. Fretful parents
and scolding teachers may do lifelong
injury during this susceptible period. 1t
is period when neither study nor night
excitements should interfere with sleep !;
when dime novels do their worst work !;
when mothers need to know what their
children read, and to be their confidential
counsellor in all delicate matters: when
the use of tobacco is specially perilous,
almost surely giving rise to affections Of
the heart, and when spirituous liquors
and all opiates are peculiarly pernicious.

Statistics are not always dull, and the
following, collected by an industrious
Partisan, are certainly both interesting
and curious. The average Partisan con-
sumes during his lifetime 1900 pounds of
bread and 1000 pounds of meat, and
these he washes down with 81 barrels of
wine, 400 litres of alcohol y, about 100
litres of beer and an equal quantity of
cider. He also absorbs II, l60 eggs, 1000
pounds of fish, 1900 pounds of oil y,
1900 pounds of salt and 10000 pounds of
vegetables. The next item in the statis-
