Home, Sweet Home.

London Ttd-Bits recently offered
a prize for the best definition Of
home. Five thousand answers were
sent in. Here are some OF the best !:
The golden setting in which the
l'brishuest jewel is mother.
\ world OF life shut out, world
OF love shut in.
An arbor which shades when the
sunshine OF prosperity becomes too
dazzling; harbor where the human
bark finds shelter in the time OF adj
versity.
Home is the blossom OF which
heaven is the fruit.
\ hive in which, like the industri-
Gus bee, youth gamers the sweets
and memories OF life for age 70 medl-
tate and feed upon.
The best place for man after bust
ness hours.
Home is the cosiest, kindliest,
sweetest place in all the world, the
scene OF our purest earthly joys and
deepest sorrows.
/ The only spot on the earth where
the faults and failings of fallen hu-
manity are hidden under the mantle
81 charity.
The place where the great are
sometimes small and the small often
great.
The fathers kingdom, the chill,
dren's paradise, the mothers world
The jewel casket containing the
most precious ofsall jewels-domes'
Where you are treated best ant
srumble most.
A working model of heaven, will
real angels in the form of mother
and wives.
i Home is a persons estate obtainet
without injustice, kept without dis
quietude; place where time !
spent without repentance, and whlcl
is ruled by justice, mercy and love
The center of our affections, aroun'
which our hearts best wishes twine
I. popular but paradoxical institu
ton, which woman works In the 40
seace of nan, and man rests IN tn
presence ofwoman.

the Lutheran ministry, gives in The
Lutheran Standard, the following
as his experience in getting into the
Baptist church in Virginia. After
some prelir,inaries he says:
When a candidate has gotten thus
far, he is considered we'll on the road,
but has vet another very fiery trial
to pass through. He must pass the
examination Of the officiating minis
ter which is prerequisite to baptism.
But before this examination the cal.-
didate is required tc go from house

in which he must show himself to

First told IN far OIL Galiee.
With Christ-like love and strength he stood
For one eternal brotherhood,
With searching power and urgent word
All, all he gathered for his Lord.
