Broad Cast unnn the Water.

Two gentlemen met on steamer dur
ing a Scotch excursion and talked with
interest Of many things; among others.
of the Sunday schools.
ITO tell the TRUTH" said one, II am
not very enthusiastic about that kind
of work, was a teacher for many
years, and. after all. seem to have done
no good"
"Well, I do believe in Sunday school
work." said the other. GAS a lad / re-
ceived lifelong influences for good in
my old class at school," and he named
the school with which he had once been
connected.
'Were you taught there?' cried the
other. THAT was where l taught Were
you there in my time? My name is.
"And 1 was your scholar. I remember
you now"
The younger man gave his name, ana
memories succeeded each other concern
ing that old school, unforgotten by
both. There, side by side, stood the
teacher. who believed he had done moth
ing, and the man he had influenced for
life.

and light lit up his eye. as he beck
oned toward his Angel TO come the
nearer by. II am dying, jim" he whis-
pered. land when the Lord see, I'll
tell him all about you and what you've
been to me-"
So when the stars were fading and
the day was breaking dim, an Angel
swept from heaven and bore away our
Tim. But Tim somehow was lonely up
there among that throng, for he wanted
old Jim Wilson, that he might be
along.
Again the shadows thickened and fell
upon the floor, while without was heard
a knocking. a knocking at the door.
The shadows fell the faster as the
knocking grew more low. but well he
knew the meaning, that his time had
come to go.
"They will not all be strangers" said
brave and honest Jim, "there is one
at least who'll know me, and / mean
my little Tim. hear him now" he
whispered, I'm sure IL must be he, for
know the voice that's calling, that's
calling now to me-"
And when his spirit entered that land
Of light and glow, there was one to bid
him welcome, whom we thought he
didn't know. with me thou art, my
brother, and evermore shall be, for as
to the least we did II, we did ii unto me-"
have a sort Of notion that things are
better far than we are apt to think
them or the preachers say they are, and
when the Lord will honor all those
who've honored him, he won't forget
Jim Wilson and what he did for Tim.

Unnecessary Rurdens.

Unnecessary burdens are those which
ordinarily break men down. The bur-
dens which crush are those which we
have no right to bear. A little girl was
looking at the picture Of tabled Atlas
on the cover of her school geography.
The apparent struggle Of the strong
man under the weight Of the huge globe
en- his shoulders excited her sympathy,
and she turned to her father with the
anxious question: Papa, why doesn't
that man lay that thing DOWN." The
father repliedi "Why, that man, like n
good many other men, thinks that he's
got to carry the world on his shoulders;
but / think with you, my child. that he'd
better lay ii down" So with many a
burden which we groan under when we
would do better to lay II down. If IL
were really burden that we ought TO,
carry. our prayer can be that Of the
old divine, when he said: Lord, either
tighten my burden, or strengthen my
back" and we may expect an answer
TO our prayer. But unnecessary bur
dens we have no right to ask for added
strength TO bear. Laying an unneces-
sary burden down is wiser than letting
IL break US down.

Approaching Sunshine.

We have a great deal of sunshiny
weather in this beautiful world, but
great many of us are not appreciating
any OF IL. We are so intent upon find
ing fault with almost all kinds Of
weather that we do not know when
We are receiving some of Gods greatest
blessings. AS Christians, we ought TO
be ashamed Of this lack of appreciation
of the glories and joys of Gods beauti-
full provision and plan for his crea-
lures. One beautiful morning we took
special pains to ask ten different peo-
pie what they thought of the weather.
and we will give the answers as near
as we can remember them. The first
was a middle-aged business man. He
said: Horrible. horrible! Did you
ever see anything like it?" The next
was a young lady. She said: Eyes,
pretty nice, but am afraid II is going
to rain tomorrow" Next young man:
We'll, we ought to have one nice day
after such ugly weather as we have
been having" Next an old lady: DE
lightful! How good God is to give US
such sunshine" The next answer was:
1.-The meanest weather I ever saw. l
never knew before such an ugly atmos-
phere." The next: Pretty fair today,
although 1t is good weather for rheu-
matism." The next: 81 don't see why
we can't have halfway decent days
like this all the time" The next: Eyes,
sunshiny and nice, but a mean feeling
in the air." The next: I'VE ought TO
have this kind OF weather every day.
It's a shame the kind OF weather We
have been having" The next: 81 do
hope now we shall have a spell OF bear
able weather" 1t does not seem pos
sible that so many of Gods creatures
do not seem to appreciate the fact that
the large majority of our days are sun
shiny and beautiful, and yet 1t is true.
The rain and the snow make II possible
for us to have the bright. beautiful.
joyous. sunshiny days. Is it not time
for the children OF God TO begin appre-
ciating and enjoying what God has pre-
pared for his children's happiness?

Living Witnesses.

The most convincing proof Of the
truth of Christianity Is the reforma-
ton 1t produces in the lives of people.
1t makes deceitful men honest. 1t
makes the violent gentle. 1t makes the
lecherous pure. The profane become
prayerful. The drunken become sober
The revengeful become forgiving. While
the selfish are transformed into the
benevolent and self-sacrificing. In a
word, Christianity makes sinful men
righteous-a work which no other re-
ligion has ever accomplished. These
are transformations in character and
conduct which all men can see. Seeing
them they are compelled to admit that
the religion which produces them must
be true. Men do not gather grapes Of
thorns, nor figs of thistles.
We make much OF Christian evil
dences, and more books have been writ
ten on this subject than on any other.
But only those evidences are convin-
cling which appeal to the manifest
fruits of Christianity in the lives Of
men. If obedience to the gospel did not
make men righteous, all It's other evil
dences would be insufficient to produce
conviction of it's truth.
We regard preaching of the gospel as
essential. and rightly. IL its preachers
are examples of the truth they preach.
IL they are not, and If ii is known that
they are not, all their preaching, how
ever eloquent, learned. and logical, viii
have no power TO convince men that
their doctrine is true.
We lay great stress upon "the word
OF testimony" and rightly insist that
the Christian should be able TO give a
reason for his faith in the gospel by
telling his own experience of it's saving
power. We should remember, however,
that actions speak louder than words.
end are usually the most reliable index
to a persons character. Christ COM
mands us TO confess him before men,
but he does not mean verbal confess
sions only. Let your light so shine
before men that they may see your
good works mot hear your good words
merely. and glorify your Father who is
in heaven" Good deeds are better than
good words. The place for greatest en-
phasis is conduct, acts of kindness and
charity. perfect integrity in business.
righteousness in all the relations of
life, activity in the service OF human
ity. That is to say, the most any man
can do for the advancement Of Chris
tianity in the world is to live IL. His
life is the most eloquent preacher Of
the gospel He bears testimony to its
truth more cogent than logic, and more
convincing than any historical eviden-
ces. He IS a living witness. His life
talks. And what 1T says is not easily

divine likeness. that end can only he
reached through divine communion. We
could not have attained II by ourselves
alone, even II we had not fallen. Every
advance of man is made by contact
with that world which is higher than
himself. Human affection cannot en-

the love OF God can survive, still less
grow without intercourse? We dissem-
BILE our faith in the unseen, and forth

Gods Plan For You.

Go to God himself and ask for the
calling Of God; for as certainly as he
has a plan or calling for you he will
somehow guide you into IL. And this is
the proper office and work of his spirit.
BY this private teaching he can show
us, and will, into the very plan that is
set for US. And this is the significance
of what is prescribed as our duty,
namely, living and walking in the spir-
1t; for the spirit Of God is a kind of
universal presence, or inspiration. in
the worlds bosom; an unfailing inner
light, which If we accept and live in,
we are guided thereby into a consentiug
choice, so that what God wills for us
we also will for ourselves, setting into IL
as the needle to the pole. By this hidden
union with God, or intercourse with
him, we get a wisdom or insight deep
er than we know ourselves: a SYM
pathy, oneness with the divine will
and love. We go into the very n, "A of
God for us, and are led along in it l =
him, consenting, cooperating, answer
ing to him we know not how, and work
ing out, with incest eXactn.ss, that
good end for which his unseen counsel
girded US and sent us into the world.
In this manner, not negsUcting other
methods, but gathering in all their
separate lights. to be interpreted in the
higher light Of the spirit, we can never
be greatly at a loss to lind our way into
Gods counsel and pan. The duties of
the present moment we shall meet as
they rise, and these will open a gate
into the next, and we shall thus PASS
on, trusting and secure, almost never in
doubt as to what God calls us to do

Jim Wilson.

have a sort of notion that things
are better far than we are apt TO think
them or preachers say they are, and
much that we call sinful and trace back
TO the fall, will seem so very different
when the Lord explains II ALL
i. There are so many people who are
good as good can be, and yet they're
not religious in the way one likes to

tians or count them In the fold, but
when their lives are tested they come
out pure as gold.
I remember old Jim Wilson, who lived
up on the pike, brave and manly fell
low Of the kind that God must like; his
face was burned and beaten by the sun
shine and the storm, but his hand was
always open and his heart was
always warm.
! Old Jim, he had a neighbor, the next
beyond his farm, the worst of all the
worthless, who did a world OF harm;
alone he lived, miser. himself and lit
tie Tim, bright-eyed little urchin, who
used to bother Jim.
One black and dreary winter
scourge swept DER the town, that
spared not men nor children, but smote
the strongest down, till every heart
grew fearful and the bravest held their
breath, 'as they heard the sickles ring
ing in that harvest-feld of death.
The skies fell down in blackness.
while in crowds the people fed from
that slaughter scene of horror as it
stalked among the dead, and there
among those wretches lay our neigh
boris little Tim, the bright-eyed little
urchin who used to bother Jim.
Then outspake old Jim Wilson and
said he'd scorn to live and see another
suffer for the care that he could give,
so he FASTENED to the hovel, himself to
care for Tim: one should strive TO do to
others as they should do to him.
And there alone Jim Wilson all
through the night and day stood forth
a manly hero and fought the plague at
bay. Above the shadows thickened and
fell upon the floor while without was
heard a knocking, a knocking at the
door.
The very walls grew mouldy, like the
mould Of constant rain, while the sea
of death about him threw its spray
against the pane, and yet of all the
Angels. Gods faithful unto him could
not have been more faithful than was
he to little Tim.
But the shadows fell the faster and
the knocking at the door told the vast
ed little patient that his pain would
soon be DER. Old Jim sat there I'm ST.

the same old-fashioned monster who
bears away our dead.

Rest.


"Come unto me, all we that labor and
are heavy laden, and 1 will give you
rest" A woman's voice faltered
through the quotation. She sat near
me in the prayer-meeting, and had
broken the silence following the lecture.
1 read in her face the look of a soul
at peace. Then the Holy Spirit unfold
ed to me anew the message. Lines read
long ago in Goethe came back:
REST Is not quitting
The busy career;
Rest is the fitting
or self TO ones sphere"
And wondered for what truer sphere
we could have been created than for
the service of God. He sees us worldly
wise, buffeted, heavy laden, and yearns
over us as he did over Jerusalem. The
pleasures Of the world are stones for
bread" we famish, but are outside the
pale OF mercy. Come unto Me-" Such
simple steps. but what world of love
they open. Then-'T will give you rest"
The rest OF the abiding presence, the
blood-washed conscience. and the GER
tainty of our heavenly home. Thank
God we may all center into that rest"

II is the general impression that bus
mess in all lines will be good next fall,
but quiet during the summer. A wise
advertiser, who. in anticipation of this,
makes yearly contracts now, will be in
the best position to take advantage of a

able that the yearly price demanded for

instances. be no more than the nine

PRAYING and Saying Prayers.

There is a wide difference between
praying and saying prayers. A man
boosted that he had not omitted saying
his prayers at night for seventy years.
1t pleased God to convert him at that
age, and then he would say with a
changed tone and spirit: II am the old
man who said his prayers for seventy
years. and yet all that time never
prayed at ALL" How many church mem
