Much of the Christian character Of the |

well meaning enough, but n Is wanting

qualification for the robust Christian
work that is demanded. One reason Tor
this Is the ineffahle softness OF mucn OF
wbar is called Christian literature. The
attempt is to bring us up on tracts made
up of thin exhortations and goodish max
inns. 4 nerveless treatise on commerce or
science in that style would be crumpied

of no moro use than worldly twaddle.
If man has nothing to say he had bet

Auclo-Saxon into religious literature,
and A brawnier manliness and more i'm

prayerful and sanctimonlous.
He who stands with irksorne repetl-
tions asking people to come to the Say
| Jour, while he gives no strong, common
sense reason why they should come,
drives back the souls of men. If, with
all the thrilling realities of eternity AT

can gather up and master the thoughts
and feelings of men his writing and
speaking are Islander ON the religion
| which he wishes to eulogize. Morbidity
| in religion might he partially cured by
more outdoor exercise. There are some
duties we can perform better on our feet
than on our knees If we can carry the
grace of God with us down into every
dav practical Christian work we will
get more spiritual strength in five min

Daniel had not served God, save when
three times day he worshiped toward
the temple, the lions would have surely
eaten him up. The school of Christ is
as much ont of doors as indoors. Hard,
rough work for God will develop an ath-
letic soul. Religion will not conquer
either the admiration or the affections of
men by effeminacy, but by strength.
Because the heart is soft is no reason
why the head should be soft. The spirit
of genuine religion is spirit of great
power. When Christ rides in apocalyp-
tic vision it is not on Il weak and stupid
beast. but on a horse-emblem of maj
esty and strength, And he went forth
conquering and TO conquer. Rev. DR..

Little Mary was reading with her
mother in the New Testament, as every
morning they were accustomed to do,
and one of the verses of the chapter was
that of John ill., 10. For God SO loved
the world that he gave his only begotten
son, that whosoever believeth on him
should not perish, but have everlasting
life"
Stopping for "a moment III the reading
the mother asked, Don't You think this
is very wonderful The child. looking
up as if surprised at the question, replied
in the negative. The mother, surprised
at the reply Of the child, repeated the
question, TO which the little daughter
replied: "Why, no, mamma; it would
be wonderful if it was anybody else; but
it's just like God.
"Out of the mouths of babes" quoted
a minister, who in preaching from that

TWO STYLES OF TEAS.


There are two styles Of entertainment
under the general names OF tcas-hiQh teas
and afternoon teas-about which lady OF
society gives the following useful hints in
LITTLE handbook on Manners"
The first is a meal taking the place of
dinner, at which hot meats, cakes. warm
breads, preserves and other sweets are
served; such teas are more popular in the
country than in town.
In many households IL is the custom
about ) O'Clock to have tray brought in
TO the mistress Of the house and placed be-
fore her on a small table On this tray
should be tea service, cups, saucrrs, cite
she herself then makes the ten, pours it
out and passes it 70 whatever visitors NAV
be with her at the moment. The servant
brings in thin slices Of bread and butter
cake. and perhaps English mullins, which
are usually served with the cup Of tea
Afternoon teas resembling receptions are
also giTen, but these come under the head
OF more general entertainments.
The entertainment at "a tea ought 10 be
simple, and the visiting cards Of the hostess
are used for the invitations. on which
should be written on the lower left hand
corner and opposite the address the words,
Tea at o'clock" following the day and

Men die. but their work lives on. We
are all building pyramids, not to last
four thousand years, but forty thousand,
forty million, forty trillion, forty quad
rillion, forty quintillion. All the good
words or bad words we speak are spread
ont into one layer for pyramid. All
the kind deeds or malevolent deeds we
do are spread ont into another layer. All
the Christian or unchristian example we
set is spread out in another layer. All
the indirect influences of our lives are
spread out in another layer. Then the
time soon comes when we put down the

PRAYER,

Genesis, the seed plant of the whole
Bible, is full of prayer. The rest of the
books of Moses and the historical books
of later days give rs continually the
prayers of Gods faithful servants. The
book of Psalms abounds in prayers
winch are invaluable to a life of fellow
ship with God, The prophets are full
of the same theme. The gospels are
permeated with examples of prayer and
the teachings Of our Lord with respect
to it. And the Acts and Epistles no less
testify TO its power and bessedness. Is
all this for nothing? Does it not teach
us that i'll true godliuess nothing stands
higher than the grace of faithful and be
lieving pray Does it not call upon
every servant of the Lord to be watchful
in the use OF this mighty power Rev.
George Everard.

That life is not worth living that does
not find new things in the word and
kingdom of God-new experiences. new
glories, ''new heaven and new earth"
Nor does the new contradict or dispar-
age the old. The folly of these times is
seen in the efforts TO put the new in an
tagonsm with the old. This comes of
the fact that the new is not always true,
and that men are ready to disparage the
old because it Is true. Let it be remem-
bered that the new, which is trne, is al
ways most loyal to the old Hence we
may ask for something new"-for a
larger faith, higher conservation, a
richer fellowship with the Father and
with His Son, Jesus Christ.

AN ARTISTIC LUNCHEON.


= fIetty 60hSmc AOf thS
-Four Small Tables.
A very pretty arrangement for luncheon
earty of sixteen is that Of illustrating the
TOUR seasons with four small tables, each
seating four people. The first, or spring
able, Is all in delicate shades of green and
white. Lilies of the valley and maiden
lair fern in clear glass vases stand on a
,enterpiece wrought with catkins, and pale
green ribbons lie along the cloth from the
center half way 10 the corners, where they
lie round lily of the valley bouquets. the
OOPS and sides of the bow falling with the
,loth at the corners nearly to the floor.
The summer table is sure To be a rose table,
and Dresden china effects of mingled blue
and pink are pleasing though not exactly
novel. The autumn table is sure to be yei-
.ow and its flowers chrysauthemums. and
The winter table is set with quantities of
cut glass. In the tall cut glasses holly
berries and snowdrops are iatermingied,
and the glossy green ivy leaves form mat
around the central candelabra of cut glass
with scarlet silk shades The only I'M
pleasant feature of this style of luncheon
is that sometimes u tactless hostess seats
the sensitive maid who has seen good
many seasons come and go in vain ut the
autumn table, and she doesn't like it.
