CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.

Topic For the Week beginning Jan. IL.
Comment by Rev. y. H. Doyle.
TorIC.-Soul hunger and soul food.-Fs.
ixx&iv, l-l2.
III this psalm the psalmist pours ont
the longing of his soul for tho commun-
ion of the sanctuary and points out the
blessedncss of those who dwell therein.
He says, my soul longeth-yea even
fainteth-for the courts of the Lord; my
heart and my flesh cry out for the liv-
ing God"
This is only an expression Of uni
vorsal feeling possessed by mankind.
Men the world over have soul hunger.
Their hearts and their flesh cry out for
the living God. There is indelibly stamp
cd upon the heart Of man the belief in
q supreme Being above and beyond him
self, and there is an earnest longing in
every soul to come into the proper rela-
ton to this Being. This is evidenced by
the fact that all nations have believed
in God and have had some way by
which they thought they could approach
their God.
This soul hunger is an evidence that
there must be such a Being. II not,
whence came this universal belief in
God. and this universal longing after
God, and this universal attempt to wor-
ship God in some way? We can only
explain it in one way, and that is that
there must be q God that meets this
idea and want. To perform its work in
life the eye must have rays of light,
and we have tho rays Of light; tho ear
must have waves Of sound, and we have
sound waves. The human soul Graves
and demands supreme Being over and
above it, and is 1t possible that while
the eyes have light and the ears sound
tholo is nothing to satisfy this Intense
craving of the human soul for God!
Such a thing is not possible. There
must be something to satisfy this need
and want of the highest and noblest part
of mans nature.
And there is something, and that
something is Jesus Christ, the bread OF
life, of whom, if We eat, we shall mover
hunger, and Of whom, if we drink, we
shall never thirst. There is God tc
! satisfy this longing Of the soul. nnG
SI!1lSti tiiO 'cOh Va NfotB DoAhho w AAA'h'
We may not understand just how Christ
satisfies this soul hunger, but this should
not worry us We do not know JUS
how and just when bread becomes life
to the body. and yet wo know it and ca
it. So we know Christ can satisfy thii
soul hunger; that He is the only tru'
soul food, and therefore we should
taste and SEQ that Ho is good" for HI
Himself has said: II am tho living
bread. which came down from heaven
If amy man cat Of this bread. he shal
live forever" tJohn vi. 5ll

In tho report of the executive COM
mitteo of tho American Missionary rs
ISOLATION riention is made in several
places OF the work of Congregational
Christian Endeavorers in connection
with homo missions. In the work of tho
Congrcgationalists with the poor people
Of the mountains Of eastern Tennessee
and Kentucky largo portion Of tho
time md strength has been spent in sys-
temntic Christian Endeavor work
Many societies have been established,
and great good will be accomplished, as
these societies will doubtless develop
the possibilities of their neighborhood
until church is the result.
Many Christian Endeavor societies
have been organized by tho Indians who
have gone out from the Indian schools
under the control of the Congregation
alists, and in this work the Indians are
exceedingly jealous. The committee also
makes grateful acknowledgment of the
notable increase in the contributions OF
Congregational Endeayorers to home
missionary work and declares that the
spread of these societies in the various
departments of that work is q mark and
means of great progress. Golden Rule.

Convention coartesies.

City and district unions in several
places have boon formed where all tho
young peoples societies - endeavor,
league, unions, ctc.-of all the various
churches participate. This is often u
good thing. Whatever promotes nc
quaintance, sociability, mutual helpful
ness toward higher ideals and more
practical efficiency in the work is to be
welcomed Though regimental organ-
ization may still be essential, there is
no reason why brigade, division and
army corps formation cannot also be
adopted with advantage.

Charity with Discrimination.

Generosity is too much a matter Of i'm
pulse with the many rather than the re-
suits of conviction and careful thought.
A pathetic appeal awaliens sudden sym
pathy and secures generous gift i'll too
many cases where the applicant is un-
worthy and the donation an injury to
hini. To give charity so as to relieve
need and not develop tho pauper spirit
in the one helped and pride in the giver
Is rs necessary as it is difficult. Many
persons conscientiously never refuse an
appeal for food, fearing that if they
should deny such request they might
cause one to suffer hunger. Yet there is
no surer method of fostering the tramp
danger than this unhesitating and in
discriminate feeding of the idle. There
are worse things than hunger. To so
lose ones manhood and womanhood as
to desire to live without labor and be
fed by the work of others is destitution
Of spirit, compared with which hunger
and cold are slight evils. The real need
is some one to lift uE" and teach them
Ce "look up.

Joseph Bonaparte.

Joseph Bonaparte fed to America
after the hundred days and bought a
home in Philadelphia, where he lived
in winter. and mansion in New Jer-
sey, where he passed his summers. He
was much liked in this country, but
could not make up his mind to stay
here, so returned to Europe, hoping to
profit by tho changes of government in
France. He was always disappointed
and found himself an unwelcome guest
in every country save England. He
finally secured permission to live in
Italy and died in Florence in lS4I.

TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.

In Fitting Spectacle Bows TO tho Ears Both
Must TO Considered.
Having selected pair of frames with
n nose piece of tho right height and
spread to bring the glasses into the
proper position, and having had them
fitted with glasses made in accordance
with the oculist's prescription, the op-
tician now proceeds to fit the completed
spectacles to your head. You might put
them right on and wear them off Just
as they are.
But, no; he reaches over and places
the bows over your ears himself. Then
he tries the spectaoles gently, as they
rest upon your nose, taking hold at the
outer ends of the frame, where the bows
hinge. Not just right. He takes them
of again and smooths the bows out be-
tween the tips of his fingers and changes
their shape little and tries them again.
Better, but not just right yet. He takes
them again and smooths out and bends
in little more. You observe as he hands
them to You, as he does this time, that
somewhat in shape, but that now they
vary in sweep and curve. You put them
ON and find that they fit perfectly and
very comfortably. He touches them and
finds them right and says SO.
But the bows are not alike" you
say.
NO." says the optician, ''but they
are now made to fit. Your ears are not
just alike. One of them is little big
ger than the other, and they are not
placed exactly alike on the head"
WHAT" you say. and he says: "Yes.
There are very few Of us that are perfect
or Just alike on both sides New

PRIZES ON PATENTS,

~ ESEtune-
We secure patents AID to induce
people TO keep track OF Aheir bright
ideas we offer prize OF one hundred
dollars to be paid on the first of every
month TO the person who submits the
most meritorious inventioa during the
preceding month. We will also ad-
vertise the invention free OF charge in
the National Recorder, weekly news
paper, published in Washington, d.

ton throughout the Uuited States and
is devoted to the interests Of inventors.
NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent
something strikes most people as be-
ing very difficult; this delusion tho
Company wishes to dispel. 1t is the
simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount of
money, and the complex ones are sell
dom profitable. Almost everybody,
AT some time or another, cOnceives an
idea, which, if patented, would prob
ably be worth to him fortune. I'm
fortunately such ideas are usually dis
missed without thought The simple
inventions like the car window which
could be easily slid up ana down with
out breaking the passengers back,
the sauce pan the collar button. the
nut lock, the bottle stopper the snow
shovel, are things that almost every
one sees some way Of improving upon,
and it is these kind of inventions that
bring the greatest returns to the
author.
The prize we offer will be paid at
the end of each month, whether the
application has been acted upon by
the Patent Office or not. Every COM
petitor must apply for a patent on his
invention through us, and whether he
secures the prize or not, the inventor
will have a valuable patent.
