al CHILD QUEEN.
An Incident in the Life OF Hollands
Ruler.

A pretty little story about Wilhelmina,
the girl-queen of Holland, has just found
it's way into the Dutch papers. The
queen is at present only Il years Of age,
and she is credited with even a larger
measure of caprice and. precocity than is
usually granted to less exalted young la
dies at that interesting period of life.
Her mother. the Queen regent. therefore,
thinks it we'll at times to deal somewhat
severely with Wilhelmina's Httle ways.
Lately, the young queen, desiring to
speak to her mother, knoeked-not, per-.
hapS, in the most dignified fashion-at
the door of the room in which the queen
regent was ENGAGED. Who is there?."
cit is the QueSM of Hollandp' Gmperi-
ously). Then she must not enteri" (per-
emptorily). At this rebuff the little queen
suddenly changed her tactics, and, soft
ening her tones, said winningly: Mann
ma, it is your. own little daughter-ttat
loves you and would like to kiss YOU"
You may come in.' And SO Wilhelnlina
wins her way into the heart of the most
phlegmatic of Dutchmen.

A Soldier of Christ.

"The soldier does net expect always
TO march in dress parade. Doubtless
such military displays are occasions
of exultation; but that is not what
men become soldiers for. The fatigu-
ing march. the exposure, the depriYa-
ton, the terrible battle with wounds
and death momentarily threatening,
are the services for which he has en-
listed. He who endures them is a good
sgldier. So q, good soldier of Christ
must be able to endure hardness, and
must expect fl. Paul learned how to
suffer, and we account him a hero, be-
cause ne did not murmur nor charge
God foolishly, nor abate one jot of his
faith. Ills faith was steadfast, trial
did not weaken or alter it. His emo
tons were changeable, but his faith
-vas fixed; and he went through all his
suf1erlngs IN spirit of triumph, be-
cause his faith was SO strong. New

The Religions of China.

The eyes OF the world are at the pres
emit time centered upon China. Par
ticuiar interest is taken in the
"Flowery Kingdom by Christians. It
is claimed that defeat in the present
war would wonderfully open UP the way
for missionary work, China being now
about the most unfruitful field for mis-
sions. Apropos of the progress Of
Christianity in the empire, it might
prove interesting TO glance at the other
great religions that hold sway there.
Christianity counts for little so far, as
not much has been accomplished. rela-
lively. The state religion of China is
Confucianism, which, though, IS rather
moral code than religion. 1t is eX-
and emanates from Confuclus, who
was born in 525 3. G.
Taoism is another religion of the
country, and consists in the belief in a
multitude Of spirits. who are supposed
to influence the destiny of man. Buddh-
ism is the great popular religion of
China, and has had a foothold there
since the first century of our era. 1t
alone has nearly million Of priests. A
strange thing about it all is that there
IS a bond of harmony between these
three faiths, the adherents of each of
them frequently being found at worship
IN the same temple. For example, the
Confucians, or high caste, will worship
in the Buddhist, or lower class. temples,
using the Taoist, Or heather ritual.
This is more than can be said of a
great many Christians, especially when
we consider the great difference which
exists between all heather religions.

Is The chprch 4 Fnilure.

This question is somewhat like Ban
quos ghost-it will not down at any
bidding. If the churches, as they
stand today, were on trial. testimony
would be very strong against them.
Even the ministry is compelled to adj
nit, however reluctantly, thaa the pull
pit, so far as reaching the masses is
concerned, is on the wane. There is a
newly organized ministerial associa-
ton in northern New Jersey. At re-
cent meeting this subject was discus
sed. The Vigorous young pastor of
one of. the churches read paper on
this topic. taking the affirmative side.
The argument was based on the de-
Ginning power of the pulpit, on the
failure of the churches to reach the
people and on the lack Of interest TAX
en- by the churches in all reforms. The
ministers present were loath to admit
the truth Of the statement.

Love Covers All.

Love is not only the supreme grace,
but it is also the all-inclusive grace.
The apostle not only declares that it
is the greatest of the three, but when
he says it hopeth all things and be
lieveth all things he shows US that it
comprehends them ALL So that to be
perfect in love it is necessary. there
fore, to be perfect in faith. too, and
in hope. Perfect love is Christian per-
lection. '-Christian Standard.

Prayer.

More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore
Qet thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and
day;
For what are men better than sheep or
goats,
That nourish blind life within the
brain,
If, knowing God. they lift not hands
in prayer,
Both for themselves and those who call
them friend!

The GentIest Voice.

AZ would say to all, use your gentlest

worth more to you in days to come

kind voice is joy, like a lark's song,

Emphasizing Beliefs.

1t is not sign of character or of
intellect to be always giving emphasis
to ones disbeliefs. If man does not
believe this thing or that, why should
he trouble himself or others about it?

lieve, that is the thing for him to en-
phasize. If, indeed. he does not be-

himself the better."-Sunday School

Words of Wisdom and Thoughts
Worth Remembering on Religious
and Moral Subjects.

What does half the misery and all
The quarreling in the world come from,
but from peoples loving themselves
better than their neighbors? Would
children be disobedient and neglectful
to their parents if they did not love
themselves better than their parents?
Why does a man kill, steal. bear false
witness, covet his neighbours goods, his
neighbours custom. his neighbor's rights,
but because he loves his own pleasure or
interest better than his neighbors !;
loves himself better than the man whom
he wrongs? Would a man take ad-
vantage Of his neighbor if he loved him
es well as himself? Would he be hard
on his neighbor and say, PAY me to
the utmost farthing," if he loved him
as he does himself? Would he speak
evil Of his neighbor behind his back If
he loved him as himself? Would he
cross his neighbours temper, just be-
cause he will have his own way, right
or wrong, if he loved him as himself?
What would the world become like this
moment if every man loved his neigh
Dor as himself, thought of his neighbor
as much as he thinks Of himself?
Would it not become heaven on earth
at once? There would be no need then
for soldiers and policemen, lawyers,
rates and taxes, and all the expensive
and heavy machinery which is now
needed to force people into keeping
something OF Gods law. Ay, there
would be no need of sermons, preachers
and prophets to tell men of Gods law,
and warn them Of the misery of break
ing it. They would keep the law of
their own free will by love. For love
is the fulfilling of the law; and as st.
Augustine says, Love your neighbor,
and then do what you will-because you
will be sure to do what is right" So
truly did our Lord say, that on this one
commandment hung all the law and the
prophets, CHARLES KINGSLEY

Ignorance Concerning the Bible.

There is a good deal of ignorance
concerning the Bible about, and one
need not go far to find it, remarks the
New York Observer (Pres.). "A recent
examination of a class of thirty-four
young men in one of our colleges re-
vealed a large deposit of this
commodity. Twenty-Five poetical
illusions to passages of Holy
Scripture from the works Of Tenny-
son were given TO these young students
With demand for an explanation of
The reference in each case. The inten-
ton was to test the young mems know
ledge Of biblical history, character and
literature. The result was a painful
disclosure. Thirty-two of the thirty
four had not heard of King Hezekiahs
prayer for longer life. Twenty-four
knew nothing of JephThah's VOW. Fig
urauve illusions to Pharaoh's dark
ness, 10 Jonah's gourd. to Lots wife,
to wrestling Jacob, and to the mark
of Cain were meaningless to most Of
these young men. Only 32S. answers
OUT Of 74S were correct. It is easy to
believe that such ignorance of the lit
erature of the Bible is likely to be ac-
companied by ignorance Of its moral
requirements. Nor, we fear, is it very
likely that the general college training
of the day will add largely to the young
mems knowledge in either direction.
But no young man ought to reach col
lege age without a pretty thorough &C
