You may not be able to leave your
children wealth or the inheritance of
a great name or eminent social advan-
tages but you can leave them the re-
suits of fidelity and precious memories
of devotion to the holy task of trying
to make them know what God says to
US in the Old and New Testaments,
and what he wants us 10 believe and
to do and to be.
In how many ways can We serve the
Lord ? Brother, sister, do you know
of more than two ways-to the souls
and bodies of the people? We may
worship God in many ways, in public
and private, by prayer, song, preach
ing, listening, and other acts Of devo-
ton, but we serve God only as we
minister to the souls and bodies of our
brethren after the flesh. Unless we
serve God. our acts of worship are
meaningless and fruitless.
Money cannot do it all. None of
the indispensable gifts, of God can be
purchased with it. Air, life, and above
all, eternal life, are only to be had as
gifts.

Supporting Il Wife.

When l hear of a man aud farmer
"supporting" his wife, it gives. me that
'.tired feeling" that no patent medi-
cine can cure. Did you-any of you
fellow-citizens-Gust think for min
ute) support her? Indeed, if she was
the house girl you would have to pay
her at least 81 per week and she would
do nothing but the house work. But
the average farmers wife raises poultry
enough to clothe herself and children
and the eggs she sells provides The
groceries and household expenses.
He puts money into fine stock, farm
machinery and more land. rarely giving
any of it to her and he growls like q
bear if she happens to need anything
or 'just little money" But he il
her, she Is his wife and he
has a right to be hateful. Another
thing a farmers daughter when she is
married, usually has cow and a
horse. Now the usual rule is putting
out stock at half the increase, but
does farmers wife get it? Not much.
He hardly remembers to get her a
birthday present, and if he does, it is
something needful-as he says, "some-
thing useful"-a pair of shoes or may
be calico dress. How I hate and
detest such presents 1t seems to me
like giving a preacher donation and
taking it out of his salary. lfa woman
does the housewolk, cares for the sick
ly pigs and lambs and calf, raises a
mans children and teaches them all
the virtue she knows, doesn't she earn
every blessed cent she gets? Let her
die, and him hire housekeerer, and
then he will see what helper he has
lost; that she saved him money, and
earned as much as he did and lie was
not supporting her at all, that it was a
partnership affair and that she had
earned fully half, but didn't get it be-
cause be was enjoying the manly priv
ilege of supporting her."

One of Chicago's clergymen has
been saying: "At my time of life
ought not to he stunned by anything;
but, after service, good woman OF my
flock did manage to take my breath
away. I was preaching about the
Fathers tender wisdom in caring for
us ALL" he said. 81 illustrated by say
ing that the Father knows which Of us
grows best in sunlight aud which of US
must have shade. You know you
plant roses in the sunshiue,' 1 said,
'and heliotrope and geraniums, but if
you want your fuchsias to grow they
must be kept in shady nook After
the sermon, which / hoped would be a
comforting one, woman came up, to
me, her face glowing with a pleasure
that was evidently deep and true. 20,
DR.. Blossom, am so grateful for that
Sermon she said, clasping my hand
and shaking it warmly. My heart
glowed for moment, while 1 wonder
ed what tender places in her heart and
life ! had touched. Only fora moment,
though. Yes she went on fervently,
II never knew before what was the
matter with my fuchsias.'''
1t is our privilege to take refuge
where the world is wont to fear. What
perfect love casts out our growing love
already robs of terror. We have trusted
in Gods mercy, let US also trust his jus.
tice, who stands committed in Christ TO
our salvation. We have claimed our
Lords compassion, we may also remem
ber that it would be inconsistent with
his self.respect to allow the least of
those who trust him to 60 down to
death. The consuming fire itself be-
comes our refuge when we consider
that it is not the will of our Father in
heaven that lone of these little ones
should perish"
Humanity presents different aspects
according to the eyes with which we
look upon il. For our own satisfac-
tion and peace Of mind, if for no other
reason, we should cultivate that view
of it which teaches us more of the
virtues than the vices Of men and
women, more of their nobleness and
and generosity than of their debase-
ment and self-seeking. And we can
do this only when we surround our
selves with friends and intimates whose
mental influence upon US iy sound and
wholesome.
There are no compensations i'm life
more delightful and soul satisfying
than those that come from service and
sacrifice for the welfare of our fellow
men. 1t has never troubled
me to be in the minority. If you want
real genuine pleasure in a battle 60 in
with q minority on some great prin-
ciple affecting the welfare of society.
You feel the bracing of muscle and
nerve, the rising of the will power, the
determination not to 60 down. 1t is
glorious.
We are apt to think that time wears
out the guilt of sins, but to God they
are as fresh as yesterday, and there
fore nothing wears them out but re-
pentance.

The length of sermon cannot be
measured by the time taken in its de-
livery. A sermon with great breadth
and sweep is never long, one that has
neither height nor depth is never
short.
1T is belief in the Bible, the fruits
of deep meditation, which has served
me as the guide Ofmy moral and litera-
ry life. l have found it capital
safely invested and richly productive
of interest"
"The Bible is book of faith, apd a
book of doctrine, and book of morals,
and book of religion, of special reve-
lation from God but it is also a book
which teaches man his own individual
responsibility, his own dignity and
equality with his fellow-men."
A mixture for removing grease spots
particularly from mems clothing, is
composed Of four parts alcohol to one
part ammonia and about half as much
ether as ammonia. Apply the liquid to
the spots and then rub diligently with
a sponge and clear water. The alcohol
and ether dissolves the grease, and the
ammonia forms lather of it, which is
washed out with the water.

Then came TO sudden stop,
And some were roasted 10 COAL

For twas a sign that laggard swains
Would pop the question soon.

And In the mirror gaZed.
And. at the face that met their own,
Were pleasantly amazed;
But each had shrined within her heart

Like pretty nuns they sat awhile.
With eyes demurely closed;
Because fOrsoOth. upon each Id

That, though all others might prove false
He'd be forever true
