THE HAPPY HOME.

It II the One Where Unsnimity Of FEELING
AbidsS.
A happy home Is the blessing of all
mankind. 1t Is the fountain head to
which each member Of the household
should contribute his or her mite Of
happiness and hope and sunshine. 1T
easy to establish household, but to
build home requiresa mingling Of the
best qualities and finer thoughts of the
father and mother, brother and sister,
alike.
The home is the key note to mans
life and character. Surround the boy
with . pure and sweet atmosphere in
his home, give him that love and
guidance to be found only in this oasis
Of life, and he goes into the outside
world better equipped and guided to do
the work set before him. The ideal
home is the primary school Of the girl.
1t prepares her for the more brosdened
life to follow, whom she shall better
see the effect Of spending the childhood
days In the environment Of brightness
and contentment
There must be unanimity Of feeling
to make homo. The work and efforts
Of . single sunbeam can not drive away
the heavy clouds Of brusqueness and
discourteousnesA Each member of the
household must contribute to the
stream Of sunlight, and then will the
home become . Mecca Of perpetual glad.
ness and prosperity. Boston Budget.

Your father may be aleeping under the
tinkling bell Of the Scotch kirk. Yeu'
brother may have gone down in the
ship that foundered OF Cape Hstterss.
Your little child may be sleeping on
the verge of the towering western
prairie; yet God will gather them all
up, however widely the dust may be
scattered. Nevertheless, 1t Is pleasant
to think that we will be, buried To-
gether. When my father died, and we
took him out and put him down in the
graveyard at Somerville, it did not
seem SO sad to leave him there. be-
cause right beside him was my dear,
good, old. beautiful. Christian mother,
and it seemed as II she said: Il was
tired, and l came to bed little
early. am glad you have come; it
seems as of old" Oh, IL is .
consolation to feel that when
men come. and with solemn tread
carry you ont to your resting place,
they will open the gate through which
some of your friends have already
gone, and through which many of
your friends will follow. Sleeping
under the same roof, at last sleeping
under the same sod. The autumnal
leaves that drift across your grave will
drift across theirs; the bird-songs that
drop on their mound will drop on
yours: and then, in starless winter
nights. when the wind comes bowling
through the gorge, you will be company
for each other. The child close up to
the bosom of its mother The hus-
band and wife remarked; on their lips
the sacrament of the dust. Brothers

themselves on the grass, now again re-

While present these thoughts this
morning, does it not seem that Heaven
comes very near to us, as though our
friends, whom we thought great way
off, are not in the distance, but close
by? You have sometimes come down
to ariver at nightfall, and you have been
surprised how easily you could hear
voices across that river. You shouted
over to the other side of the river,
and they shouted back. 1t is said that
when George Whitefeld preached in
Third street, Philadelphia, one even
ing time, his voice was heard clear
across to the New Jersey shore. When

army, I remember how at even.

voices Of the pickets across the Poto.
mac just when they were using
ordinary tones. And as we come
to-day and stand by the River ofJordan
that divides us from our friends who
are gone, II seems to me we stand on
one bank and they on the other, and II
is only narrow stream, and our voices
60 and their voices come. Hark! Hush!
! hess distinctly what they say: "These
are they who came out Of great tribu.
lstion, and had their robes washed
and made white in the blood Of the
Lamb" Still the voice comes across
the river, and hear: I'VE hunger NO
more, we thirst no more; neither shall
the sun light on us, nor any heat, for
the Lamb which is In the midst Of the
throne leads US to living fountains Of
water, and God wipeth away all tears

THE INVENTOR A GREAT SUNDAY
SCHOOL MAN.
John Stephenson, the oldest car builder
in the United States, IL now eighty
three years of age, His list of closed
cars turned cut at his shops has passed
the 10000 mark, and with the open
cars, cable cars, electric cars, and other
vehicles that he has built, the total would
undoubtedly reach well up toward 30,
0O0.
One strong characteristic Of Mr. Ste
phenson's may interest some of my boy
readers; all his life he has been great
Sunday school man.
when the ifsl sunday school IN New
York was started by Mrs. David Beth
une and Mrs Mary Mason In Public
School No. / al the corner Of Chatham
street and TryOn row, about the year
1916, Mr.. Stephenson became very much
interested in the work, and, until his re-
cent Illness for meny years, taught a
large Bible class.
Many years ago he built a Methodist
church on I'weny-seyenth street about
three blocks from IFS shops, Of which he
was the controlling spirit.
IL was his habit then 90 take al his
apprentices TO the Sunday school every
Sunday The result Of this peculiar ar
rangement waE that the bad and unruly
boys were wceded out, for naturally
discipline. and the tractable boys who
remained there not only became skilled
mechanics, but developed into good
class of men.
