Thin Places.

"There! my darning is done for

And the thin places ~
"Thin places Why, aunty, I never
look for thin places There are
always holes enough to keep me

"When was GIRL" said aunty,

taught me to mend and darn, and
with the teaching, she slipped,in many
a lesson about higher things. Look

with the needle will save half hours

Did God Send You:

The members of the Louisville
Flower mission, while making their
charitable visits, see and hear many
pathetic things. One day last winter
u lady went to the western portion of
of the city to take a basket Of grocer
les and fruit to sick woman. Making
Il mistake in the address, she found on
getting off the car that she was not in
the right place, and stopped at u house
to make inquiries.
She was told that although the per-
sons she was seeking did not live in
the neighborhood, there was family
on the opposite side of the street that
was certainly suffering. Accordingly
she crossed over, and found standing
at the gate little golden-haired fellow
about four years old. He was looking
anXiously and eXpectantly down the
street. When he saw ner his cOunte-
nance frightened, and looking ear
nestly into her face with his big blue
eyes, be said in an awe-struck tone:
"Did God send you ?"
"Yes, God sent me-" was the reply.
"Have you brought US bread ?"
And receiving an answer in the
affirmative. he rushed into the house,
crying joyfully:
MAMA, mama, God has sent the
bread ~
The lady followed him into q room
where pooH woman lay sick and suf-
fering. by her side was a babe ouIy
few days old, and another of two
years was sitting on the floor. They
had no coal, and nothing to eat. The
father was ont trying to find work,
and when the children had cried for
something to eat the poor mother bad
told them to be good and God would
send them bread. The little fellow
had been watching at the gate ever
since.

How 10 Save HUys.

Open your blinds by day and light
bright fires by night. illuminate
your rooms. Hang pictures upon
your walls. Put books and newspa-
pers upon your tables. Have music
and entertaining games. Danish de-
mons of dullness and apathy, and
bring in mirth and good cheer. In
vent occupations for your sons. Stim-
ulate their ambitions in worthy direc-
tions. While you make home their
delight. fill them with higher purposes
es than mere pleasure. Whether they
shall pass boyhood and enter upon
manhood with refined tastes and noble
ambitions depends III you. With eXer-
ton and right means Il mother may
have more influence over the destiny
of her boys than any other influence
W whatever.-Appleton's Journal.

THE best example of self-denying
lberality in the Bible is recorded of
woman, The best example OF loving
service in the Bible is recorded of wom-
an. The best example of conquering
prayer in the Bible is recorded of wom-
all. The gift was a widows mite; the
service was the amounting of Jesus
with Il box of ointment; the prayer
was mothers prayer for Il daughter
possessed with the devil. Jesus never
let fall such words Of royal commenda-
ton as concerning these three women.
OF the poor widow ne said, "She hast
east in more than they ALL" Of Mary
he said, "She hast done what she
could" And to the Canaanitish moth
er he said: 80 woman, great is thy
faith BE it unto thee even as thou
wilt. DIR. Herrick Johnson.

The Great Punishment.

God Furnishes sin by the withdraw
al of His presence. The hardest pun
ishment a sensitive and loving child
can have is the withdrawal of the par
ent's face. The hiding of Gods face
is harder to bear than the heaviness of
His hand. Sin clouds the soul and
hides the face of God. TO see Gods
face forever is heavens glory. TO lose
Gods face forever is heli's unutterable
woe. Keep clear vision of God by
keeping pure heart. II your sins
have caused Gods face to become dim,
heed the warming. Any punishment
is preferable to being left without Gods
presence.-Rev. Isaac w. GOwen.

"Peace on earth and good will to
men," was the chorus of the song of
angels, heard on the plains OF Beth
lehem when the drama opened.
"Peace l leave with you," was the
farewell legacy of the glorifed Re-
deemer, as he was about to suffer and
to overcome. And pleace restored and
perfected between man and his Maker,
and the man and his brother, will
crown the final consummation and
prepare for the end of time and seal
up its issues to everlasting retribu-

Thank God every morning when you
get up that you have something to do
that day which must be done whether
you like it or not. Being forced to
work and forced to do your best will
breed in you temperance, self control,
diligence, strength of will, content,
and hundred virtues which the idle
will never know.

GRAINS.

Be careful with time.
In every man there is better self to
which to appeal.
Modesty is that virtue which hypo-
critics despair of counterfeiting.
No man has Savior who does not
recognise Sovereign.
Our hardest battles are those we
fight with ourselves.
Where one person desires to be heard
ID are satisfied with being seen.
If we are seekers after Jesus, God
knows it, and SO do his angels.
TO live a day with men we need
to spend the first half hour with
God.
Whatever we undertake in the name
of the Lord, is sure to have Gods help
behind it.
1t is a long step heavenward to he
born in a home where the Bible is
loved.
The weather that is too hot for
church-going is said to be superb for
base ball.
We are never 80 merciful toward
ourselves as when we show mercy
toward others.
Temperance takes the man from the
saloon. Prohibition lakes the saloon
from the man.
Break down under small trials, and
you will certainly be crushed under
great ones.
The very best of people don't al
ways like to tell what they are think
ing about.
The moment the devil ceases to
make sin attractive, his occupation is
gone.
He is unreasonable who auarrels
with events which happen from natur-
al necessity.
Of all mean words that from mean
lips do flow, the very meanest are, 81
told you So"
If we would he more careful where
we step, those who follow US wouldn't
stumble so much.
Jesus has loving messages to all his
disciples, especially to one who has
special need of cheer.
How sad parting would be, if
there were no hope of reunion! There
is no such sadness in Christ's service.
No mans name is likely to be on
the rumseller's application for license
and the lambs book of life at the same
time.
If we are to do special work for God,
We must have special power from God
for that work. And God is ready to
give power to those who need and seek
ii.
The difference between sentimental
music and devotional music is, one
awakens tender emotions while the
other awakens holy aspirations.-
Lafferty.
Fidelity in triiles and an earnest
seeking to please God in little matters
is u test of real devotion and love. Let
your aim he to please our dear Lord
perfectly i'm little things, and to attain
a spirit of childlike simplicity and
dependence.
