WHY is 1T A SIN /,
Three Good Reasons Given ny Children for
Not Lying.

NOT Lying.
| held one morning breakfast-table
symposium on the question: "Why is it
wrong to lie?" First speaker, a ten
year-old, declares: Because God said
So" To the question where and when
did He say so, she replies: "He wrote it
on stone and gave the stone to Moses"
At this seven-year-olde Xclaims, with
that courtesy which usually character
ICES theological controversy: "He did
not; l know every word He wrote on a
stone, and there is nothing about ~
ing"
Leaving this point fer subsequent
discussion we go back to the original
question and inquire for other reasons
why it is wrong to lie. An eight-year-
old boy says with sigh of experience:
because it makes you feel bad An
other few years older, who is of prac-
tical turn of mind, declares, 1--WE could
not live if we all told lies" This was
illustrated by the case of a servant
whose failure to keep her word had just
thrown the domestic,machinery out of
gear, and of hackman whose disre-
gard for his word had cost all these chill
dren days pleasure excursion.
From this it was easy to show how
the existence of the family, the happi-
ness of home, success in business and
prosperity of the nation depend upon
good faith between men, and that every
lie is blow aimed at the dearest inter
ests of all 1.-THE liar is everybody S
enemy" was the conclusion. Then
we worked our way back, asking why
a lie made one feel bad" and showing
that it does violence to ones nature
and is a kind of suicide. At last we
reach a religious statement of the mat.

than the law of Moses, Truth is Thy

LIFE, NOT FORM.
The Real Meaning of the Term THE
Larger Christianity"


The more liberal faith. the broader
church, the freer Gospel, the larger
hope-this, says the secular press, is
the larger Christianity. We are not
ready to concede the claim. The larger
Christianity is something to be earnest
lv sought, and it may lie in some of
these lines, or spread itself over all.
But the larger Christianity is not so
much thing of forms as of life. 1t is
a fuller salvation for the individual and
for society. realized in human charac-
ter. To this end there is need of a
clearer and more comprehensive esti-
mate of our true relations with God
and the spiritual world-this is the
larger faith; of an organized Christian
itv after the Divine pattern, adapted to
the worlds present conditions and
abreast with the worlds best thought
this is the broad church; of a hope
for the individual and for the race.
finding its realization in a Christly
character and righteous life-that is
the larger hope; and of a Gospel that is
in truth glad tidings to all people, be-
cause it is heraldei to all people
through the mission; ry agencies of the
church and its miriStry-this is the
tre4r Gospel.

"GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS"
The Stor, of the Motto Under the Clock
in Temple Hall.

The Stor, of the Motto Under the Clock
in Temple Hall.
A long time ago a new clock was
needed in the Temple hall at LONDON.
The Temple, to those of you who do not
know what it is, will be best described
as sort of college fer barristers. An
order was given for a ine new clock to
be made, and the clock-maker was told
to apply when it was finished to the
benchers of the Temple, who would
give him suitable motto to place be-
meath the clock. The man. when his
work was completed, applied two or
three times, but was not successful in
obtaining the wished-for information,
for the benchers could not seem to make
up their minds or agree upon a motto
At last the persevering clock
maker came one evening when
a dinner was going on in the
hall and the company were
about to sit down to table. He made
the request as before for suitable in.
scription for the clock, but the bench.
ers evidently did not like being dis
turbed at their banquet, and one OF
them called out cantankerously: &c
about your business !" The man, how
ever, accepted this answer in another
way; and going back wrote beneath the
clock: go about your business" and
then fixed it in the Temple hall. The
next day the benchers Were very much
surprised to see the inscription, but on
thinking it over they came to the con
clusion that a more appropriate motto
could not have been found anywhere
and so for many years the Temple clock
reminded everyone who glanced at il
to so about their business.-Pall Mall

RELIGIOUS MATTERS.
THE GOLD THAT PROFITS.

What profits IL that gold is won
And greed is fattened day by day?
What profits it in pleasures sun
To waste the heart by mock and play:
What profits to rise and shine
In some brief hold of place and pOw'ri
What profits 1t to feast with wine
And die Of thirst at even's hour?
The gold we gain, unsactited.
win char the soul like eeaseless fire;
The pleasures by the world supplied
Are lotus plants that root in mire:
The throne and praise the mob besto y
Is set on sand-it fees as breath;
The wine that gladdens as it glows
Then maddens and expires in death.
The gold that profits is the grace
That makes the Christ my friend in need;
The pleasure that fills time and space
Is love that works in daily deed;
The power that makes king in truth
Is holiness that God hath given
The crown Of age, the hope of youth,
The upward, manly march to Heaven

THE COUGH MEDICINE,
How Naughty Little Charley Robbed Good
Little Charley of a Nice Time

Once upon time there was a good,
pretty little Charley, aud there was a
naughty little Charley, with his face
all scowled up. These Charleys were
just ofan age, and had the same father
and mother and baby sister. vet they
were not twins; no, indeed, not by half !.
For good little Charley's sake hate to
tell it, but the truth is that he and
naughty little Charley were one and
the same boy. This good-and-bad little
fellows whole name was Charley Nye,

Fun with Cards.

Take one or two packs of old whist
cards, fold each lengthwise, so it will
stand alone. Then place them one be-
hind the other about two inches apart
on the table, the more winding the line
the more effective. Let a child touch
the last card and the whole line will
fail gracefully, each card touching the
one before it in its fall. The building
up of this card battle will amuse the
older, while it keep the younger chill
dren looking on in an eager and pleas
ant suspense. The trick will serve as
reward for the quietest, and TIE shout
exultation at the downfall will prove
the success of the gaBs.-N. y he.

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
A SonG FOR SLEEPY EYES.

Sing song OF morning
For sleepy little eyes,
-Four and twenty robins
Are soaring to the skies.
Long before the sun was up
heard their tuneful notes;
Wasn't thai welcome sweet
From little feathered throats?
The blossoms in the garden
Opened when twas sunny,
And soon the bees were on the wing
Gathering their honey
Rover barked and wagged his tail
To show me that he smiled,
And then he trotted in and walked
A drowsy little child.
Birds and bees and blossoms
Are as glad as they can be,
Su now my little sleepy eyes
Dpe and smile at me.

rushing water was begun. Wherever a

be kept in the houses, as the terrific
squalls would shrek through the house,
extinguishing all the lights. When the
tired riverside dwellers looked out this
morning they were Mortified. The f0unda.
