WHAT CHARITY MEANS.

We often use the word charity while fail
ing to catch and appreciate the fulness and
beauty of its meaning use 1t as a synonym
for beneticence, when its meaning rises
higher, and has far wider sweep. Acts Of
a noble and praiseworthy beneticence may
not he "rtS nf charity. One NAV feed the hungry
and clothe the nakcd;he may build and endow
uvspitals and institutions Of learning, and
NAV largely relieve human suffering and
vet know nothing Of the Scriptural
charity. Charity means love. 1t is the
word used by the Master, in the days
of His incarnation and suffering, to
express His redeeming love for man it is
the word used by inspiration to express the
love of the redeemed for their Redeemer-
the love that prompts the song Of thanks
giving on earth. and the eternal descriptions
of heavenly praise. We illustrate the true
meaning Of Scriptural charity only when we
feed the hungry. c othe the naked, minister
10 the wants ofthe suffering, and do good to
all men as we have opportunity. because we
love them with the same kind OF love felt
for US by the exalted Master when he died
for our redemption and salvation. AS the
charity or love felt by Him for us covers our
many sins. so our charity for others should
cover theirs Interior.

THE HOME IN ITS POWER TO SAVE.


There Is no place in life where the real
character Of mans piety is subjected to such
fierce test as it is in its influence and re-
suits over inmates Of his own home. There
his life is seen without any public disguises.
There is no veneer Of q counterfeit dignity
upon it. The habitual temper and spirit 6f
his life are felt as the moulding factors ov&
the lives Of his children. We have come to
believe that the estimate the children learn
to place on the Christian spirit and life Of
their parents Is just the estimate they place
on religion itself, and largely, II not entirely,
determines the attitude of their own life
toward 1t. We believe there are compare
lively very few unbelieving and unchristian
men and women in the world who have
gone out of really Christian home. This
belief Is not the result of q. theory only; it Is
the result of an observation that hos most
carefully noted the boys and girls Of whole
generation Of church fife as they have gone
out from the home into their own independ-
cnt spheres. This ne have seen, viz, that
the real home-faith and home.spirit under
which they were trained reproduced them
selves in their lives. That that life and
spirit are rs surely impaired and in
herited as are mental and physical
characteristics; not perhaps, In the
same way, but by the rule of moral beget-
ting operating through tho spirit and life Of
the parents on the spirit and life of the
children in their most plastic and formative
conditions. Largely this reIgning life of the
home is the ipstrumentality that directs and
modifies and limits the work Of the Spirit of
God on the children of the home.
The ultimate test and proof Of all things IS
"fruit." If ''mep do not gather grapes OF
thorns, nor figs Of thisilss," neither do they
gather thorns Of grapes. nor thistles OF fg1.
Herein is that by which We "know them"

Said mother, whose own work had been
in the humber conditions Of life, mother

with an ambition to do. She showed them

RELIGIOUS READING.
RECOMPENSE.


Through the long, toilsome day she went
With quiet sweetness, everywhere;
watched her tender, tireless hands,
Caressing here, relieving there;
no recompense, no answering smile,
No words Of cheer were hers the while.
"Tell me, thou patient one," cried,
"What secret hope sustains thy heart,
That through thee thankless ministry
So gentle unto all thou art?"
She turned on me her soft eyes light:
~ heed them not. He comes tonight"
Behold in all repairing love!
What matters, when the day Is past,
The burdens others on her laid,
II IL his arms she rests at last?
The darkest way to her is bright,
Since be who loves her comes tonight.
o soul, whose hope is high as heaven,
Cease thine improbable plant!
A watcher. waiting for thy Lord,
How canst thou grieve, how dar'st thou
faint?
Work on, rejoice. while yet tits light,
Thy Bridegroom's voice may call tonight.
A day of toil-what matters it?
So short this life of tears and pain.
Lift UP thy face! What dost thou fearp
Thou hast not given thine all In vain.
Soon thou shalt walk with him in white.
Who knoweth? IT NAV be tonight.

Dangerous Co1luiotd

Celluloid buttons always should be
kept we'll beyond the range OF med.
dlesome flame or searching heat. A
case is cited in which lady, stand
ing near bright fire, had one OF the
buttons of her dress ignite by the
heat, whereby her dress was scorched.
A few rough tests recently made give
convincing proof of the danger of eel.
luloid ornaments: A gas flame was
directed against one side OF an iron
ring, the head Of common wax
match containing phosphorus was
placed on the ring about two inches
from the flame, and piece Of the
button was similarly placed at an
equal distance On the other side. A
second piece Of the button was also
placed on the ring, but at twice the
distance from the flame. A small
piece of paper was laid lightly over
each. After five minutes the first
piece Of the button ignited, and
burned with bright flame; aftei
twelve mimi >>es the second piece DIG
the same; while, after seventeen min
utes the. match head was still un'
changed. On testing it with a light,
it Immediately burst into flame. a
third piece of the button was pinned
to the surface of an old duster, which
for the purpose Of the test was equiv

hung from a chair in front Of an ordi
