THE WORK GOES ON.

God IL as the Helm, and His Plans Are
Sure nj Accomplishment.
On a memorial tablet Of the wesleys
in Westminster Abbey II inscribed the
legend: God buries His workmeu, but
their work goes on" 1t is true that
every work which is truly the Lords
will go ON, whatever changes there
may be in the ranks of the workers.
When Moses was buried in sepulcher.
the place of which none knew but God.
Joshua was raised up to lead the hosts
of Israel into the promised land. When
the Saviour left the world He commits
stoned men to continue the work He
had begun. So il has always been. and
SO it will always be. When the Master
calls His servants to rest and
reward, their work will 70 on.
The relation of the worker to the
work is subject to change, but the rela-
ton Of God to the work and the worker
is forever the same. He il pleased to
use His willing servants in such exalt-
ed ways that they become workers to-
gether with Him." and upon such n
foundation the work will surely abide.
It's failure is an impossibility. Any man
is essential to a righteous cause only SO
long as the Lord uses him. If the work.
man is removed to another field,
whether of service or reward, the work
will go on as surely as that it is the
Lords cause. There is no room for the
worker to magnify his own Importance.
neither is there room for apprchensions
of a work failing. The work and the
worker are in the hands of the Almighty
and His plans for both shall not fail in
their accomplishment-Young Mems

HIS ONE WORD.

Expensive.
"There is no use of talking" said the
white-haired man rs he smoked his
cigar after dinner in an uptown rcstau.
rant: you can't make any one believe
for any length Of time that you are bet
ter than you really are or that you
known more than you really do. You
may be able to deceive o few persons
for . short time, but you are the one
who will suffer in the lend every time,
or 1t least nincty-nine times out of
every hundred. Like everything else.
no one will believe thi0until he has had
the experience. and I remember quite
distinctly the time paid for mine.
1T was when I was young man and
was paying my first visit to the
French capital. Soon after arrived in
Paris I went to a barber shop to get
ahaved. l sat down in the chair ana
the barber began his work. When, rs
I supposed, he had about finished the
job he said something in French. Now
at that time thought, as most young
men Of twenty do. that knew about
NIL there was to be known. OF French
I knew exactly one word-'Oui.' was
determined that would not show my
ignorance to this French barber. how
ever, so every time he said anything to
me ! answered 'Oui'
"Well, rs say. after I.supposed that
the job was finished the barber kept
saying something to me occasionally,
and l kept answering 'Oui' for ten or
fifteen minutes perhaps, and every time
he made u remark he opened . fresh
bottle Of some sort of perfume or other
and applied a portion of it to some part
of my head. Finally he finished and
took away the towels and aprons. Then
he wrapped up lot of bottles and gave
them to me with my check, which was
for . sum equal in our money to five
dollars. The condition of affairs flashed
across me. and I realized that I WAS
paying for all the fresh bottles of per-
furne which the barber had opened. But
didn't say word. took my package
and went my way after paying the bill.
But il was a lesson to me which shall
never forget, and since that time l have
never tried to make any one believe
that l knew more than really did. Il
may be embarrassing to acknowledge
your ignorance sometimes, but it is not
half 50 hard to do this q dozen times q
it is to be caught once in assuming 70
