A Sweet Minded Woman.
(Churchman.)

So great is the influence of a sweet
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless. 1t is to
her that friends come in seasons of
sorrow and sickness for help and COM
fort; one soothing touch of her kindly
hands works wonders in the feverish
child; few words let fall from her lips
in the ear Of a sorrow-stricken sister
do much to raise the load of grief that
is bowling its victim down to the dust
in anguish. The husband comes home
worn out with the pressure Of business
and feeling irritable with the world in
general, but when he enters the coy
sitting room and sees the blaze Of
fire and meets his wife's smiling face,
he sucCumbs in moment to the sooth-
ing influences which act as the balm of
Gllead to his wounded spirits that are
wearied with the stern realities of life.
The rough school boy flys into rage
from the taunts of his companions to
find solace in his mothers smile; the
little one. full Of grief with her large
trouble finds haven of rest on its
mothers breast; and so one might 60
on with instance after instance OF
the influence that sweet-minded wo-
man has in the social life with which
she is connected. Beauty is an insig-
nihcant power when compared with
hers.

Filling the Bill.

A dealer in stuffed animals, who
also kept few live creatures for sale,
gave his shop boy, who was permitted
to sell the stuffed specimens, orders to
call him when any one asked for any
of the living animals. One day gen.
tleman called and demanded a mon
key.
"Any one of these?" asked the boy
who was in charge. He pointed to
the stuffed specimens.
"No; I want live monkey" an.
swered the customer.
The boy stepped to the door of the
back shop and called to his master;
"You're wanted, sir - Youth!
Companion.

of intimate companions. With them
he throws off reserve, yields to the
pleasure of their society, and gradually
comes to partake of their nature. If
they are pure minded, honorable, gen
erous, intelligent, he will grow insen-
sibly to the same If they are weak
and shallow, of doubtful honesty and
principles, pleasure seeking and selfish,
50 must we expect him to become in
time.
Very often the blame of misdoing is
thrown upon the enticement of an
evil companion, but who shall bear
the blame of choosing such compan-
ionship? We may not be able to r.
sist the effect, but we need not have
welcomed the cause. One who goes
into a malarial atmosphere and re-
mains there, cannot help taking ma
laria into his system, but why did he
court its baneful influence? 81 with
a poisonous moral atmosphere; We
cannot Withstand it, but we can and
ought to avoid it. Certainly there
must be congeniality to make friend
ship possible. Yet a mutual interest,
in certain pursuits, or similarity OF
opinions, or a unity in certain aims, IS
not sufficient Of itself TO warrant that
intimate tie.
Many parts of our nature need sym
pathy bu. in ministering to them, we
must beware Of admitting injurious
influence upon other parts. 1t is char
acter that should be the one indlspen-
sible foundation of our intimacles;
upon that innumerable structures of
sympathy and fellow-feeling, of mu-
tual interests and aims, of tenderness
and affection may be safely placed.
This is not, as may be supposed, a
merely self-regardlng precautlon. 1t
is self-protectIve, but only in that best
sense which alone enables us to be OF
any value at all to Others. He who
recklessly Injuries his health does not
thus prove his unselfishness; he 81. ply
curtails his powers Of doing good, and
he who Injuries his character by well
coming evil influences is hereby inaict-
ing still greater evil upon the COM
muntiy. To protect our own moral
nature from everything which tends to
pollute or TO lower it, is one efficient
means Of protects & the morality OIL
society. 10 welcome those influences
which lift Us into a higher sphere OF
intelligence, which give US loftler
standard of virture, which enrich ou1
| hearts and arouse our enthusiasm and
enlarge our capacities, is to benefit
not only ourselves, but the entire com
| mun!ty in which we dwell.

For things we need? How come in spirit

To use. when bowling at the Mercy

Not sounding phrase, nor overstudied

But simple words like these, the Master
taught:
Our Father" Thou, whose universal
sway
The stars. and moon, and sun, all worlds

Thy throne "in Heaven" is set in endless
light,
Before it passeth not morn, noon or

Who praise Thee, and Thy Son, and. Holy
Ghost
Remember, in Thy mercy, all our needs
Our daily wants supply; Thy kindness
feeds
The hungry, even SparrOwS when they cry
Are ne'er forgot, nor passed unheeded by.
Thou knowest all our cares, our table
spread,
And give unto us daily, Living bread >"
LAS we forgive our debtors" all they owe,
So unto US fOrgiving mercy show;
And all shortcomings set against our
names
In Thy great book, blot out no claims
Have we. nor any merit Of our own;
All hidden things to Thee are fully known
Hold Thou our hands and lead Us by a
way
That hasteth not where sore temptations
lay;
Uphold Us by Thy power, securely guard
And lift us where the way is steep and
hard.
"Deliver us from evil, turn aside
The fiery darts of Satan; safely hide
Beneath Thy wings from storms that rage

And pcstilence that flies III monday light;
For Thine is all the power, and glory
Shall be to Thee, thou "Ancicnt One OF
