Billy, with his little hands, struck
his horse on the neck and cried,

his ears forward and turned his head

The mother, who mad heard my
question, and whose greatest delight
was Billy's accom- pllshments, cult
milking the cow, ran down into the
house and brought out little tat
tered book OF two or three dozen
pages. To my surprise it was the re-
mains of COPY Of Luther's Smaller
Catechism. Resting the book on the
collar Of the horse on which he sat,
Billy read distinctly from the first re-
naming page, For of one blood

out hesitancy the whole OF Luther's

explained to his wife the object Of
our visit. He had offered to give
back tie mower and one horse for

must carry his wood fifteen miles
from the mountains and carry his
wheat to the mill, which was as far
away. But the assistant had in-
sisted on the horses or his wheat

threatened court proceedings.
"Iou see, mother" the farmer
said, II pose Billy can't 60 to school

I thought his voice was little
husky as he spoke The wife and
mother said nothing, but their eyes
filed with tears. The big boy, with
clenched hands, leaned against the
now useless mower. and looked
straight at US while we led the horses
away, while tears cut burrows in the
dirt on his face. The little ones OF
the sandpile also began to under
stand what was going on, and howled
aud folled in the sand. Little Billy
sat dazed upon the ground where he
had been lifted from the horse.
When we tied the hJrses to cur

Personal Religion.

1.-THE moral conduct OF man is
d rality; the ler ept.on Of the in.
tnlte is theology; the union Of the
two is religion. He comes to per-
ceire in the law of God his ideal. If
he sees honor, truth, purity, 5eneVo-
lence, and SAYS, these are the &C.
Quisit;on l want to obtain TIM his
religion is no longer law, it is an
ideal. When man gets beyond the
point of doing what society. or what
God requires when he reaches the
point OF doing the right b cause it is
the right, he has taken a forward
step toward the promised land; be
ne has got beyond Mt Sinai
"God,' said a little child, is
something We like and something we
want to be like" Eut there is some
thing even beyond this. When one
has come to have the divine ideal he
begins to have the divine point OF
view He comes to look at life from
the spiritual, not from the temporal
and terrestrial side lie looks now
upon his enemy a, one more to be
condoned than to be conquered. He
desires to relieve human misery. He
who gets so near to God that he can
see somewhat from Gods own point
of view stands so near to God that he
can see Him in his own soul.
THE life Of Col in the soul OF
man is not the special privilege Of a
rcclu>e; it belongs to all humanity.
The artisan. the lawyer, the mer
chant who realizes this ideal in his
daily life, comes nearer to God. The
blker who puts alum IN his bread 10

stitutes popularity for truth. are
both rec!eantS together Personal
religion is ID hearing and OBJ ying
Gods voice ~ taking Him as our
ideal (3) seeking to lie 6llel with
His spirit. There IS only one way in
which God can manifest Himself to
man, aad that is through man. The
earth shall be flied with the glory of
the heavenly spheres as the is
