A spring: upwelling from unfathomed
source,
The tiny rivulet, the brook so free,
The river rushing in it's destined course
To add its volume to e.changeless' sea.
a life: begun in mystery divine,
The laughing child, the youth with love
athrill,
The man fulfilling an ,all-wise design
And striving toward the ocean, of Gods
will. w. p
Self-love is idolatry. =
A self-made man likes tofprag on!hls

Golden opportunities do not fylin cir
Giles.
The saloon willstay until thelchurch
says it must go.
People who thinkswrong will'be sure
to live that way.
A head conversion) never putst any
love in the heart.
Open the door for the penny, Sand the
dollar will come in.
If we have no trials we have little fell
lowship with Christ.
AS soon as gold was discovered some
body invented brass.
The devil never runs irons the man
who is not in earnest.
When bad man reads thet Bible, the
devil turns the leaves.
Gods most effective preachers are not
always sent to the pulpit.
If we do little, men andeangels will
know that we love little.
The man who believes that'the Bible
is Gods word will obey it.
Follow Christ closely, and God will
lead the man who follows you.
If God gives thorn, it is because he
sees that it is just what we need.
Whatever is not fully consecrated to
! God the devil still has lien upon.
The money that brings us most good
is the money with which we do good.
Love has to be seen with the eyes OF
the heart before its name can be known.
Gods business is never intrusted to
the man who has no business of his
own.
If some of our heads were not so big
God could do great deal more for our
hearts.
When meanness has been baptized
and called religion it is as deadly as the
smallpox.
The man who rejects Christ in spirit
shuts the kingdom Of God entirely out
Of his heart.
The devil gets q good deal of sub
Stantial help from the church member
who grumbles.
Undertake to keep the ten command
ments, and you will soon find out that

Everything God sees in us the world
will some day know, unless it is sooner
blotted out by the blood of Christ.
The devil feels that he has gained a
point when he can make a Christian
look as though Christ had never come
out Of the grave.

Warm SIeeninR Quarters.

The houses in Corea being small, the
rooms are Of diminutive size. The most
curious point about them is that the
flooring is made Of stone, and that I'M
der the stone flooring there is a regular
oven, called KAN" in which a big fire
is kept up night and day. Often, as the
people sleep on the ground in their
clothes, it happens that the floor gets so
hot as almost to roast one. The Core
ans seem to delight in undergoing this
roasting process, and when well broil-
ed on one side they turn on the other,
and take it quite as matter of course.
l admired them for it, but was never
able to initiate them. The houses, as a
rule, have only one floor, raised few
feet above the ground, and the rooms
seldom measure more than twelve feet
square. The roof is very heavy, and
sustained by very heavy beam, and
the windows are of paper, as in Japan.
The Coreans are not devoted to the
bath tub; they wash their hands fairly
often, and the better people battle their
faces almost daily. Those Of the chill
dren are whitened with chalk, and the
hair is oiled and parted in the middle,
plastered down, and tied into one or
two small pigtails. This description
does not call up a particularly pleasing
mental picture; nevertheless, when
dressed In their gay holiday attire, the
small Coreans are very quaint and

A Reservoir for Upper Egypt.

The erection Of q great reservoir in
upper Egypt is now an assured fact.
The work will be begun this spring.
In the next Egyptian budget the sum
of about 100000 will be set apart for
the purpose, it is announced. The
height of the dam is to be so regulated
that the Island Of Philae, on which Is
the Temple Of Isis, will not be flooded.
