NUGGETS OF WISDOM.

Men are always like the god they
believe in.
The only real leaders are those
whom God selects
-Distrusting everybody is a gotI way
to have the friendship of nobody.
1t doesn't make meanness one whit
better to baptize it and call it religion.
You can't tell any thing about how
big a mans heart is by tho size of his
hat.
There is no peace to any man who
does not believe that his sin is hidden.
God has never tried to explain Him
self to man. All He wants is to reveal
Himself.
There are people who would be
great for God if they could only get rid
of their own dignity.
If there is anybody that God finds
it hard to do much with, it is Chris
tian with long face.
Measured by what they give, some
rather large looking people weigh very
little on the Lords steel-yards.
The man who is too proud to stoop
in the service of Christ will never be
able to reach high enough to pluck fruit
from the tree of life.
If men were as poor rs they think
they are when they see the collection
basket coming in church, what an aw.
full condition the world would be in. -

Forth Words of Wisdom.
God never tries to do much with peo-
pie who have the big head.
You may live without committing sin,
but do you live without thinking it?
Don't be always waiting for some.
thing to turn up. Go at it and turn up
something.
Millions are glad to see the sun, but
nobody cares much for comet.
There isn't much in the man who is
always talking about the wonderful
things he would do if he were woman.
There isn't grain of religion in talk
ing two-cent piece out of the pocket
for the Lord and leaving ten-dollar
bill in it.
If you want Gods fire to burn bright
ly everywhere else, see that it never
goes out in your own heart.
No man is truly rich until he can
thank God for his poverty.
A barefooted boy can be happier in
chasing butterflies than rich man can
be in making thousand dollars.
Wishing that you had somebody else's
possessions is very good way to lose
your own.
Nobody cares what kind of purse
the money comes out of,
Who knows but that it was worry
that killed Methuselah?

How We Are Debtors,

We do not always, it may be, estimate
in the right way or in it's true proper
tons our Indebtedness to our fellows.
We owe no man anything, we say, when
our bills are paid and our receipts are
comfortably slowed away in our pock-
cts. But our real indebtedness, per-
haps begins when all claims of others
have been settled. Our real indebted
ness is to be found in connection with
that which we have and others have not.
If have strength, am debtor to the
weak at my feet. If have wisdom,
am debtor to the foolish about me. If
have food, am debtor to the starv.
ing on every hand. If l have the Cos
pei of Jesus Christ, | am a debtor to
everyone who is destitute thereof. 81

Jew and Greek, to the bond and free

CHRISTIAN WORK.

1t Is Necessary That the Heart Should BE
in Whatsoever We Do to Insure Its Sue
cess.
The same amount of Christian work
is eXhilarating to one man and exhaust
ing to another. In the one case it is a
tonic and the other leeches. Why the
difference? In order to work easily,
the undertaking must be congenial.
But you say that much of what is ex
pected of us is repulsive to the natural
soul. Our reply is; Get your heart
right and the work will be pleasant.
No need of your trying to do Christian
work unless you are Christian Do
not fret about results. All Christcn-
dom engaged in the redemption of one
man would make a failure. God only
is sufficient. Our work is to bring the
soul under the proper influences. We
are responsible for means and
not for results Fretfulness is not
augmentation, but depletion. The
successful Christian workers are with
out exception cheerful. They do the
best they can and then leave the mat
ter with God. We excuse an occasional
fit of the 'blues," but when the disease
becomes cronic, the man has all he can
do to take care of himself, and has no
time for the improvement of Others If
you have the saltrheum, and man
offer you a box of salve that he says
will certainly cure you, and you OBJ
serve that he has on his hand the same
disease unhealed, you say: NO, thank
you; if your medicine were worth any
thing, you would cure your own hands. "
! So there is no use in morbid man of
gloomy heart attempting to raise 9TH
ers out of spiritual misfortunes, be-
cause his Swallowed soul is a SANDER

rock before he can pull sinking men out

bricks to build barracks with, so they
got together all the old bricks and sol.

some clothes for this young lady?"
The poor dolly soon began to look
quite nice in pink cotton dress and a
pink sun-bonnet. Esther also found
some odd china plates and cups-some
without handles and some cracked
which they put into little red box,
covered with shells; and Willie said he
would like to send his own china mug,
with picture of Weymouth on it, as he
never used it, having been promoted to
a cup and saucer.
BY the time their mother came back
with bundle of old clothes the chill
dren had basket of nicely-mended toys
to give her. She said Esther and Bod
might go with her and help to carry the
things.
The delight of the poor little children
was great, and wee Tiny, who was in

GODS GREATNESS.
His Love and His Greatness Are as Grea
as Is His OmnipotenCe.

His Love and His Greatness Are as Great
as Is His Omnipotence.
Greatness is not always associated
with excellence. Men that have been
highly exalted have often been greatly
deficient in moral qualities. So was it
with Nebuchadnezzar, one of the great
est of earthly monarchs. His greatness
reached unto the heavens, and his do
minion to the end of the earth. But
he was as proud as he was great, and
had no regard for his Maker, on ac-
count of which he was humbled and
abased to the level of the beasts of
the field.
But there is none so great as the
Lord who dwelleth on high, and who is
King of kings and Lord of lords.
"Canst thou by searching find out God?
Canst thou find out the Almighty unto
perfection?" His greatness is an un-
searchable greatness. Contemplate
His power. 1t is unlimited. There
is nothing too hard for the
Lord. There is nothing that He'can not
do that He may please to do, and with
infinite ease. Lift up your eyes and
behold the starry heavens-those
mighty worlds that Eli the immensely
of space. "By the word of the Lord the
| heavens were made, and all the host of
them by the breath of His mouth"
Contemplate His knowledge. 1t COM
prehends all things, actual and possible
past, present and future. His un.
Outstanding is infinite" Contemplate
His omnipresence. There is no place
where He is not, Go where we may
God will ever be round about us. Con
template any of His natural perfectious
and you will find them great beyond al
finite conception. No wonder that the
Psalmist was led to exclaim: "When
consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy
fingers, the moon and stars, which
Thou has ordained; what is man, tina
Thou art mindful of him! And the sol
of man, that Thou visitests him.?
His greatness all our thought ex
ceeds."
But great as is the Almighty, Iii
greatness is equaled by His goodness
1t is an excellent greatness. God i
love" He is infinitely benevolent. II
SO loved our sinful world as to give TO
its salvation the most costly gift in Hi
power to bestow, even His only begot
ten Son. The earth is full of Hi
riches. He is God of infinite kindnes
and condescension and compassion
"very pitiable and of tender mercy.
He is infinitely worthy of tn
love and confidence and obedienc
of all His moral creatures. "H
is great and greatly to be praised;' an
He is praised to their utmost ability b
all the heavenly hosts by whom He
best known. And He ought to be love
and adored and praised by all the mil
ions of our race. That there are an
that do not love and adore and prais
Him, shows the deep depravity of thei
hearts. Did we feel as we should t.
wards God, we should often be givin
utterance to our feelings in such Lar
guage as the following;
Praise to Thee, Thou great Creator;
Praise to Thee from every tongue;
Join, my SOUL with every creature;
Join the universal song.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHTS.
SABBATH MUSIC.

How softly on the evening air
Come the sweet chimes of distant bells,i
Uprising from the house of prayer,
In music's soft and solemn swells.
The sound seemed to my boyhood' S ears
Some symphony from seraph hands,
Or the sweet music of the spheres,
AS heard by earths enraptured bands
How often at the twilight hour,
When solemn stiffness reigned around
My heart has felt the wondrous power
OF their sweet, softly soothing sound.
The air seems tremulous with tones
OF melody almost divine;
Like that the wondrous statue owns
Whene'er her God smiles ON the shrine,
And Echo's myriad voiced deep choir,
Enthroned among these ancient hills,
Takes up the strain-au answering Tyre
And all the air with music fills.
And as the shadows fall apace,
And darkness DER the landscape filings,
Fond Fancy fills the vibrant space
With rustling soft of angels wings
