ceived $500 from a friend, who thought he might need some money after he ar rived in England. Surely Dwight l.. Moody illustrates the words, ssPoor, yet making many rich, having nothing, yet possessing all things.' If one has the wealth of Rockefeller or Vanderbilt, it is easy to give million dollars for the cause of Education, but here is man without wealth of his own carrying on educational institutions, both religious and secular, which are, and will be, mighty forces for good in our Nation. Suppose like Roman conqueror of other days, he should be permitted to lead a procession made up of all the thousands brought to Christ by his influence, would not the greatest religious gathering ever held prove small in comparison? These mighty results were made possible be- cause this consecrated man could say, "Lord thou knowest that I love thee.'' For the same reason Peter was permit ted to see 5000 come to Christ in one day and to have a large share in that work. Our Saviour is asking each of us to-day ssLovest thou me?'' He has work for each of us, as he had for Peter. A work in the doing of which we shall grow in
 all that is good as Peter grew, as Moody
 has grown. All the heroes of the faith
 a great cloud of witnesses are interested
 in our decision, for it depends on tha
 decision whether we shall join thei
 ranks or not. There is no nobler motiv
 than love for Jesus. I beg of you fo
 his sake and your own, not to refuse t

Not long ago we considered the effect of sin on those whom it controls. We saw how it blighted all that was noble" and lovable in character, how it stimu- lated all that was base and unworthy, until there resulted those monsters of iniquity whom none could love, and who could find congenial society only among the demons of hell. To-day ask you to look with me at the results in charac- ter, that are gained through loving as- sociation with Jesus. I would especial ly address those young people who are not yet conscious of having given them selves to the Savior, but who feel i'm pelled to do so, or at least have grow ing interest in these matters. 1 have taken Peter as furnishing an example 01 the change that goes on in mans life
 when bis love for Jesus makes it possi | ble for our Lord to do for him all he | would like to do. Of Peter's boyhooc
 we know very little. Bethsaida, hi
 home, was situated at the northern ent of the sea of Galilee, and there he wa
 early taught, no doubt, to do his par

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES.
 The Sunday school picnic was held, last week Wednesday, on the parsonage grounds, and was attended by about 150 people. Four generations were repre- sented and all seemed to thoroughly en- joy the abundance of good things pro- vided for them by the ladies of the church.
 The repairs to the church building are progressing favorably. Masons and plas- terers have been busy for the past week and we hope soon to see the painters be- gin.
 The third and final entertainment of the season will be held on Friday even- ing, the 30th, at o'clock, and from the preparations in operation it promises to be the most interesting of the three. The 1 literary and musical part Iof the program will be enriched by recitals from Miss

it is likely he often got into difficulty with his companions, and if they did no come to blows, he would at least swea at them vigorously.

THE MAN WHOSE COURAGE

forsook him at the question of servant
 now blossoms out moral hero. Love
 for Jesus makes heroes. There is in
 every young person love of the heroic.
 We all admire bravery and the story of
 brave deeds, whether on the battle field,
 or in conflict with roaring flood, dread
 disease, or devouring fire, always gives
 us thrill, and each of us whispers sI
 too would be hero." Now I have no
 hesitation In saying that some of the
 nest heroic deeds that were aver done,
 were called forth by love for Jesus, and
 performed in the consciousness of His favor. It is well known that there are men, and women too, who seem to have no fear. They attempt the most daring things without quickening of the pulse.
 But to my mind they are not such heroes as those of timid nature, who by a mighty effort hold themselves to duty many there have been, even of timid women and delicate girls, who have met death in dreadful form sooner than give up their faith. tell you Jesus Christ can make hero of every man, heroine of every woman, if only they love and trust Him. The world does not lack commonplace lives, that are passed down on the levels of humanity, and their names will not outlast the crum- bling marble on which they may some time be inscribed. But let us rise in Christ to the heroic. Let us insure our immortality on earth by living on, in lives made better by our presence. Let us be willing media by which the life of the Son of God may act upon men to elevate and ennoble, and thus secure for ourselves an enduring place in the fabric

ONE OF THE STRONGEST FORCES

ONE OF THE STRONGEST FORCES
 in the world to hinder the progress of the right is prejudice. I was reading the other day the life of Photius Fisk, a Greek, who in his boyhood, spent about g year in the mission school at Cornwall. Educated in this country, he was for many years chaplain in our navy, and used all the opportunities that be had for promoting the welfare of others. It was largely owing to his efforts that fioggiDg was abolished in the navy. He himself embodied the spirit of freedom, and hence was opposed to slavery, doing all he could to banish it from our land. Because the Bible seemed to teach that slavery was allowable or even necessary, and this all shareholders claimed, he gave up his belief in Gods word, to walk by the light of reason. Though he kept on with his kindly deeds, Il feel sure his life was not what it might have been, had ne kept up close and loving acquaintance with the Saviour. He hated slavery 70 ardently that he had x bitfer plxiaSice lnst. szyt f6st

There can be few young men among us IS years old, who are not in advance of Moody at that age in spiritual knowledge and the same God is as willing to bless our young men and magnify his grace in them, as he was to bless him. We follow Moody to Chi cago, we see him in shoe store, trying to sell more shoes than the other clerks, while out of business hours he works with all his might to build up Sunday school. He freely spends nearly all his wages buying things for the poor, or for sugar with which to coax children to Sunday school. When the war begins he works among the soldiers at the front, or takes the gospel to the rebel prisoners at Camp Douglas, near Chicago. He be- comes man so mighty in faith that he expects dying soldier to be saved while he prays for him. After the war he gives himself to Sunday school work, and revi- vals follow the conventions held through out the state of Illinois. He is devoted to Gods work and so God places all needed material resources at his com- mand. When his Sunday school had grown into church and needed meet ing house, he raised $20, 1000 for that. When, little later, the Young Mems Christian Association needed building, he raised $1o1 GOO for that. He gave up his business

Some ants keep slaves, we are told,

ness Of raising mushrooms. These
last are the leaf-cutting ants, so called.
They live in tropical America, and are
very destructive They have been
known to: ruin whole plantations of
orange and lemon trees.
They cut circular pieces out Of the
leaves and carry them off to their
mounds. What they do with them
was a long question, but Mueller, who
studied these ants in Brazil, and Belt,
who studied them in Nicaragua, have
ascertained that the leaves are not
used for food, but as manure on
which to grow a minute species of
fungus. In other words, these leaf
cutting ants cultivate mushrooms.
They are.described as taking the ut
NEST pains tokeep the mounds neither
too dry nor too damp. Sometimes the
inexperienced bring in grass and un-
suitable leaves, but these arc invaria-
bly, carried out and thrown away.
