How the Light Came to Be Ont.
The shadows Of the night had fallen
upon town and country, and the little
stars had come forth to keep their vigils
In the distant blue.
All the earth was still, and along the
| rivers marge the night birds whlstled
their nocturnes TO the frogs in the mea-
doWs.
As the night grew on, two figures upon
their silent wheels swept swiftly down
upon the vide avenue, whence all but
they had fed.
The man was young, and there was the
flush of hope and love upon his youthful
face. Beside him rode girl OF rare beau
~ and OF the sweetest innocence.
Such girl as one finds in suburban
towns and Philadelphia.
AS they swept through the star-kissed
night their WnSSiS were almost tOucnlnS,
and the young mans head was leaning
tar over toward the girl.
| Without warning a dark figure at this
point shot rapidly from the shadows lin
ing the margin of the avenue and con-
frOnted the youth and maiden.
Was it a bold hlghWayman or a deSpic-
able footpad?

SELF DENIAL.
Ideas of the Salvation Army on n
Special Christian Week.
What is the week of self denial?

What is the week of self denial?
A week set apart annually when all
officers, soldiers and friends of the
Salvation Army in every land unite to
abstain and deny themselves in various
ways, according to their position, and
devote the money so obtained to help
ing forward the war.
Special efforts are also made by
street and house to house collections,
special meetings, and other forms of
individual enterprise.
Is the idea original?
Yes. and has been in operation for
ten years: 1t has, however, since been
copied by various Christian bodies
with good results.
What is the effect on those who
take part in it?
Entirely beneficial. Self denial for
the sake of others cannot but draw
out and enlarge the sympathies of
those who prosecute it.
In what class of society do you find
the largest number of self deniers?
They are found among the poor and
laboring classes. he poor of this
world rich in faith" is proved again
and again as we see the sacrifice and
privation joyfully undergone by the
very humblest among us in all lands
where the flag flies.
Why does the Salvation Army object
to luxury?
The effect of luxury upon a nation
or family or an individual is hurtful
in the extreme. 1t cholles all that is
noble and, beautiful, allowing the
weeds of pride, selfshness and the
grosser vices to flourish unchecked.
just as the habit of indulgence
grows until some Christian people get
to think they "really cannot be eX-
enioyments that cost them scores,
hundreds and even thousands of dol
lars, so the habit of contentment
grows, until others who have not what
many consider the necessaries of life
feel themselves 'erfectly comfortable. .
Why should Christians practice self
denial?
True self-denial is born of God. 1t
is the offspring of Calvary, the child
of love, and the handmade of compass
sion. just as Mercy reveals the
Motherhood of God" so self-denial
shows the Brotherhood of Man-"All
the World"

n The BEGINNING

OF a new year, when season Of
close confinement is only half gone,
many find that their health begins to
break down, that the least exposure
threatens sickness. It is then as
well as at all other times, and with
people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remem-
bered, namely: that Hoods Sarsapa-
r;lla leads everything in the way Of
medicines; that it accomplishes tie
greatest cures in the world; has the
largest sale in the world, and re-
quires the largest building in the
world devoted exclusively to the pre-
paration Of the proprietary medicine.
Does not this conclusively prove, if
you are sick, that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is the medicine for you to take? II.
