'Keep thy heart with all diligence
for out Of it are the issues Of life"
When the Christian is willing to
substitute anything for deep heart
felt religious experience he is losing
ground.
Fervent continued prayer on the
part of Gods people is much needed
now. This gives heart-power and
heart-preparation. This has ever
been the forerunner Of genuine reyl-
walls Of religion.
People generally go IN the direc-
ton they look. II they look upward
they are moving higher. II they con-
tinually see the lower and baser
things Of life, they are travelling in
that direction. Selected.
Whenever you are tempted to covOt
the greater gifts of some other per-
sons, comfort yourself with the
thought that whatever you lack in
other respects, it IS your privilege to
be equal to the best in holy living and
in Chratlikeness.
A soul which sincerely longs after
God never considers whether a thing
be small or great; it is enough to
know that he for whom it is done is
infinitely great, that it is his due to
Aare all creatures solely devoted to
dis glory which can only be by fulfil
ling his will.-Fenelon.
FAMILY WoRsHp. The neglect Of
family worship is one of the most
alarming evidences of religious de-
cline of the present day. We have
no statistics upon which 10 base an
opinion, and yet from what we have
seen and heard we fear that there are
very few families, comparatively, who
gather stately together for prayer
and the study Of Gods word. The
truth ia, our modern methods of life
are not conducive to the performance
of this duty. This only makes the
reason for its performance oil the
more imperative When you, dear
&rother, are gone from earth, your
,chlidEen will remember your earnest
prayers in the family circle with
pleasure and equally will they show
the influence OF tao neglect Of this
duty on your part. Central Baptist
A FULL TRUST. "Sambo, you are
alwsyB talking about 'trustin in de
Lord; what do you mean by it|
These words were addressed to an
aged Christian slave. ono Of those
richly devout souls who knew the
power and joy of simple faith. They
came from his master. In a half
haunting, yet half serious manner he
was seeking light from the old SER
want Of the Lord. "WOll, Massa, dis
amt trust" said Sambo, leaning
against q table before him. Nor dis
amt trust" he continued, resting half
his weight upon his hands on the ia
bic. "But dis am full trust" he said,
and throwing himself flat across the
table he lay there with no effort to
maintain his own weight. All, that
is it, With full surrender we throw
ourselves confidently upon the Lord,
casting all our care upon Him.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Everything in the shape of an apple seems to be leaving town. Buyers have have been numerous and prices corres- pondingly good. The Housatonic valley was one of the few spots where the vio- lent wind storms of August and Septem- Der did not hurt the crop. This part of Connecticut seems to be we'll suited for fruit growing. We thirk if our farmers paid little more attention to their or chards and little less to tobacco they might in the long run be better off. Kent is almost always sure of a crop. For usually when they are scarce on the plains they are plenty on the noun tains. Now there is enough of both kinds of land in this town, and for that matter every town on the rIver, to insure large yield every year. Why not plant numerous orchards of the best va- rieties and cut down all the old trees that bear nothing but common fruit ? Again iudicious trimming of many of the old orchards and a cutting out here and there of some of the old trees that grow so high that one needs 30-foot ladder to gather them, would also be a decided Improvement.
