RELIGIOUS FEELING.

When we Use the understanding In our
spiritual investigations in q way to depre-
ciate religious emotion, serious consequent
ces are sure to follow. Love, warm and dem
onstrative. is the truest manifestation OF
vital podIiness. Joy in the LOrd-a JOY that
expresses itself in genuine manners al
WAYS in keeping with the best type OF re-
liyiOn. Peace in the soul-the peace OF God-
is one of the chief qualities of holy character.
A il these belong to the emotional part OF our
nature, and when that is lightly esteemed,
increase in these heavenly graces IS lmpos-
slble. r,
Our age is one of marked intellectual
activity. The training OF our youth, es-
neciaIlw in the higher grades of instruction,
+ conducted with this constantly i'll view.
Our q urients are warned that they will rank
low in lite if unprepared to grapp'e with
abstruse problems. or to combat successfully
with naughty scepticism. But Is this. after
nil the highest preparation? We think not.
To Jevelop moral sensbilities, grow in

BRING YOUR AMEN.

No more important contribution, says the
Presbyterian, can be brought to prayer
meeting than an Amen put into place at the
right moment. Comfort, inspiration, JOY
and revivals have been all worn out for
want Of this important affix. If Christian
man don't have it with him and the instinct
i've ability when to use it, his power Of bless
ing his fellow-men ls gone. There can be no
substitute for it. A few years ago there was
all effort to bring it into Its place by time
keeper and bell. When man
had prayed out his time the bell startled
him, and he was compelled to use his
amen" as stopcock to flowing hydrant.
But this YVES m irreverent. jerky mode of
proceeding and as hostile to real devotion as
it was bad in manners. A man ought not to
lose his ability in this direction. He is not
praying for himself or he might set his goal
at the nights end. He is praying for others,
who may not have his devotion or his We
locity. many will hear him who will believe
in directness of approach to dano throne ,Ed o.
like 1edglings, their wings will tire,
or as Janet, the Scotch wife, wait
ing for her husbands Amen smelled the
burning porridge, and after worship, said,
Jamie, / sm sairly troubled, is 1t right to
let Gods marcies spoil a-burnin' while one
is thanking for tbem%' Many Of Gods dear
servants are so long In getting warmed up
into prayer that both patience and porridge
are spoiled for want of the blessed addendum.
There is less good in elaboration in prayer
than anywhere else. 1t is right to stir up
the pure minds Of men by way of remem-
brance, but there is neither call for, nor rev.
erenco in. practising the inspired dictum on
the All-mindful.
How often we have been carried upward
into the fel elowship with God at the start
and il the one who had borne US aloft in the
spirit of devotion had only been as wise in
his use of his Amen, we might have gone
away saving: How blessed is this hour and
place." but all was lost, and an evil. reaction
ary spirit came while we waited for the
Amen, for when vessel is filed the cork
ought to come next The church has more
occasion to complain of long prayers than
indifferent prayers. Usually long prayers
spring from want of variety Of soul and
experiences and breatbed from different
personalities with their varied burdens. with
their varied conceptions Of God and the
varied and various needs that we 'ong for,
we are satisfied if we can drop into the mum.
her our own varieties Of SORROWS, joys and
needs.

All Monkeys Steal.

The English word stalwart is derived
from stael-worth, j. e., worth stealing,
ind the same test seems to be amonkey's
test for the value of earthly things in
general. Kleptomsnia is the one touch
of nature that makes all four.handers
kin. They all steal; in their native
haunts depreciation forms their daily
and constant employment, and nature
has done her utmost to equip them for
their trade. Even the monkey Hanu-
man, the Hindoo ape saint, is the pro-
totyp pc of the Grecian Mercury, the
patron saint of shoplifters and freeboot-
ers. Light-fngered, quick and reten-
tive, his four hands seem specially
adapted for pillage; he carries a double
exit" pair of capacious cheek pouches
for storing his plunder. Any novel,
movable and portable object at once ex-
cites his cupidity. If the digestible
qualities of the novelty seem doubtful,
he appears to act on the principal that
in the reantime it can do no harm to
appropriate it. The leafy domicile of
the Lie ght fingered tribe furnishes them
resdy-made ambuscades and hiding
places. They cannot be caught nap.
ping; their heads move on a slippery
fulcrum, their furtive eyes miss no op-
portunity for plunder and timely fight.
1t is, indeed, absolutely impossible to
cure monkey of that hereditary PEN
chant; you may tame him till he mourns
your morncntary absence, and like Mo-
hammed's cat, makes your sleeve his
favorite hiding place; you may surfelt
him with the tidbits of the Southern
California citrus fair, but the moment
you turn your back he will ransack your
room from top to bottom and cram his
cheek pouches with the "cheek" of an
Oakland ward politician. The thought
of retribution seems never to moderate
his business energy; the hope of saliva
ton by well-timed flight seems to be
a fixed idea of the simiau mind. In
Hindostan monkeys enjoy all the priv
ileses of an Arizona cowboy, being per-
mitted to rob the orchards with impu-
nifty, decimate tho rice crop and destroy
all the birds nests they want; but, not
content with levying outdoor contribu-
tions, they pillage the cottages of the
natives while the proprietors are at work
in the fields; nay, they often manage to
despoil the larder of the foreign resi-
dents or blackmail their children if they
leave the bungalow with lunch basket
or pocketful of nuts.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

RELIGIOUS READING.
SEND OUT THE SUNLIGHT.

SEND OUT THE SUNLIGHT.
Send out the sunlight, the sunlight Of cheer,
Shine on earth's sadness till ills disappear
Souls are in waiting this message to hear.
Send out the sunlight in letter and word,
Speak it and think it till hearts are all
stirred
Hearts that are hungry for prayers still un-
Send out the sunlight each hour and each
day,
Crown all the years with its luminous ray,
Nourish the seeds that are sowu on the way.
Send out the sunlight! it's needed on earth,
Send it afar in scintillant mrth,
Better than 60 in its wealth-giying worth!
Send out the sunlight on rich and on poor
Silks sit in sorrow and tatters endure
All need the sunlight to strengthen and
cure.
Send out the sunlight that speaks in smile.
Often it shortens the long, weary mile,
Often the burdens seem light for awhile.
Send out the sunlight-the spirits real gold
Give Of it freeIy-this gift that's uDsold;
Shower it down, on the young and the old!
OcHO OuL Tue SullIlSuI, aS IIec aS tuc otl
Blessings will follow, with none to compare,
Blessings Of peace, that will rise from de-
spair!
Send out the sunlight. you have it in you!
Clouds may obscure it just now from your
view;s
Pray for Its presence! Your prayer will come
true.

Room to deny ourselves, our road
To bring us daily nearer God.
It lifts all the drudgery of daily existence
out of the reach of common place, just to
keep saying, there is "boness" on the har-
ness, there Is holiness on the shining sur
face Of the kettle faithfully secured" 1t en-
