There is high announcement In this for
all who have great responsibility and lit
tie credit for what they do. You know
the names of the great commercial houses
Of these cities. Do you know the names
of the confidential clerks-the men who
have the key to the safe the men who
know the combinatiOn-lock? A distn-
guished merchant goes forth at the sum
mer watering-place, and he flashes past,
and you say. who IS that?' on re-
plies someone don't you know2 That

banker, that is the great manufacturer"
The confidential clerk has his week of.
Nobody notices whether he comes or goes.
Nobody knows him, and after awhile his
week is done, and he sits down again a L

business men know the names of the
presidents of these roads and of the
prominent directors; but the do not know
the names of the engineers. the names of
the switchmen, the name of the fiagmen,
the names of the brakemen. These men
have awful responsibilities, and some
times, through the recklessness of an
engineer or the indebtedness of a
switchman. it has brought to mind the
faithfulness of nearly all the rest Of
them. Some men do not have recognition
of their services. They have small
wages. and much complaint l very Of

often ask the question, as we shoot
around some curve or under some ledge
of rocks, How much wages do you get?'
And ! am always surprised to find how
little for such vast responsibility. DO
you suppose God IS not going to recog-
nize that fidelity? Thomas Scott, the
president Of the Pennsylvania railroad,
going up at death to receive from God
his DESTINY, was no better known in that
hour than was known last night the
brakeman who, on the Erie railroad, was
TANNED to death amid the car couplings.

once for thirty-six hours we expected
every moment to go to the bottom of the
ocean. The waves struck through the
skynghts and rushed down into the hold
of the ship, and Kissed against the boilers.
II was an awful time but by the blessing
of God, and the faithfulness of the men in
charge, we came out of the cyclone, ana
we arrived at home. Each one before
leaving the ship thanked Capt. Andrews.
! do not think there was man or woman
that went off that ship without thanking
Capt Andrews, and when, years after,
1 heard OF MS death, L was 1mpelled TO
write a letter of coincidence to his family
in Liverpool. Everybody recognized the
goodness, the courage, the kindness OF
Capt. Andrews; but il occurs to me now
that we never thanked the engineer. He
stood away down in the darkness, amid
the Kissing furnaces, doing his whole
duty. Nobody thanked the engineer, but
God recognized his heroism and his con-
tinuance and his fidelity, and there will be
just as high reward for the engineer who
worked out of sight, as the captain, who
stood on the bridge of the ship in the
midst of the bowling tempest. "As' his
part is that goeth down to the battle so

A Christian woman was seen going
along the edge of a wood, every even
tide, and the neighbors in the country
did not understand how a mother with SO
many cares and anNieties should waste
evening by evening. 1t was found out
afterward that she went there to pray
for her household, and while there one
evening, she wrote that beautiful hymn
famous in all ages for cheering Christian
1 love to steal awhile away
From every numbering care,
And spend the hours of setting day,
In hAmble, grateful prayer.

Clear back in the country there is a
boy who wants to go to college and get
an education. They call him boolSworm.
Wherever they find HMM the barn or
in the house-he is reading book. What
a pity it is" they say, that Ed cannot
get an education" His father. work as
hard as he will, can no more than support
the family by the product of the farm.
One. night Ed has retired to his room
and there is a family conference about
him, The sisters say; Father, 1 wish
YOU would send Ed to college; if you will
we win work harder than we ever did,
and we Will make our old dresses do The
mother says: Yes, l will get along with
out any hired help; although l am not as
| strong as l used to be, l think l can get
along without any hired help" The father
| says: well, l think by husking corn
nights l can get along without amy as
sistance" Sugar is banished from the
! table, butter is banished from the plate.

come, and the professors walk in on the
