last honest bit of dyed in the wool
fabric.
There were the mortal remains of an
old gray shawl, which had been identi-
fled with the family for years and years.
If there were romance, and chivalry
and hospitality in the family record
they were woven in the warp and woof
of this old shawl. In the days of its
prime it had crossed the ocean. The
gallant young husband of that old day
mad lovingly tucked it under the chin
Of his dimpled bride, that the breeze
that blew across the world might not
visit her too roughly.
1t was always a garment that could
be loaned to a friend who was caught
out in cold or storm. 1t hung in
graceful folds from the shoulders Of the
grand and stately dame, or was
punched awkwardly about the dumpy
little woman whose face beamed good
naturediy above it. 1t survived the
rise and fall Of big sleeves and narrow
ones. Amid the fashion of capes and
coats, it held it's own.
The grandmothers of the family each
in turn had sat grooming by the fire,
carefully cuddling this bundle of shawl
which, being unwrapped fold after fold,
was found to contain dixie kernel in
the SHIELD a red-faced, half smothered
baby. It was used as a covering for
the couch, it was thrown over the back
of the inyalid's chair, or tucked into the
old fach;nf,n1 daarhorn for
lily drove to meeting. 1t was taken to
picnics and spread upon the grass on
which some loving swain reclined at
his mistress feet, and IS it grew old
and feeble 1t was caught on brush and
brier and torn in little snags here and
there. At last Aunt Sallie got her own
reluctant consent to its reincarnation,
in the form Of rag carpet.
/ used sometimes to want to take a
bright new bit of cloth to the old wom-
an for her carpet, but my mother said
mo; better let her alone; the old bits
are more TO her; besides they tone in
together, and are all of piece" The
life Of the old dame was of the same
piece also, shreds and memories.
This was my primary lesson in the
harmonious relation of one thing 10
another, which dates further back than
Delsarte, even to the injunction not
to pu. new cloth upon old garments.
My childish interest in the old dame
was not unmixed with contempt for her
mental occupation. Think of it,
mother" said I, mot to have a soul
above old rags
1T is with rags old and new, that
most OF us spend our lives" said
my mother "if thee will think Of it"
Alas, ! have thought Of it many q
time, in the shaping over of an o,d gar
ment, the planning OF a new one, the
little cambria satisfactions or yexations,
which 90 to make up life.
Ry the way, have You ever thought Of
the impressions we make upon the ret
ina OF other persons minds, by orr
manners or occupation? | once heard
a boy tell his mother nc did not want to
remember her as always doing the
household druGgcry, but as being a
lady sometimes.
Now there comes the memory of an
other woman, also seated amid heaps
Of rags hut sac WAC dainty and beautl-

Power by YIaYcr.

DR.. J. Wilbur Chapman tells how a
young Irishman received the Holy
Spirit, and what wonderful work he did
for God though uneducated. He says:
with o heart burdened for the men
of the city, called together few Of
the men of the church, and laying be-
fore them the plan i had in mind
told them first OF all that we could do
nothing without the milling of the
Holy Ghost"
When this had been explained l no.
ticed this man leave the room. He
did not return while the meeting was
in session. When sought him found
him in one of the lower rooms of the
church literally before God. He was
in prayer.
l shall never forget his petition: 20
God, / plead with thee for this bless
ing" Then, as if God were showing
him what was in the way, he said: "My
Father, / will give up every known sin,
only plead with thee for power" and
then, as if his own individual sins
were passing before him, he said again
and again: 81 will give them up"
Then, without any emotion, he rose
from his knees, turned hisface heaven
ward, and simply said, And now
claim the blessing"
For the first time he became sensible
of my presence, and, with shining
countenance he reached out his hand
to clasp mine You could feel the
presence of the Spirit as he said, Il
him" And believe he had; for in the
next few months he led more than
sixty men into the kingdom Of God.
His whole life had been transformed.
He is just now being set apart to
preach the gospel.

The Assurance OF Hope.

For in thee, o Lord, do / hope; thou
wilt hear, o LCrd, my God.-Psalm
1915.
The man whose hope is in God may
be kept waiting, but he will not be dis
appointed. He may have seasons when
the heavens will seem to have turned
to brass, and his prayers fall back upon
him like so many dead words, but be-
cause his hope is in God his faith will
exclaim, Thou wilt hear me- o Lord
my God"' and instead Of giving up in
despair, he will lseep on calling and
hoping until relief comes. If our hope
is in riches, they take TO themselves
wings and leave us in poverty. If it
is fixed in the favor of the world, the
time may come when it will turn and
frOwn upon Us. If il is placed upon our
loved ones, there is no certainty that
they will be spared to us. If our hope
is in a friend, sooner or later he may
betPay us and desert us, but to hope in
God is to build our house upon rock
where no storm can shake it. To know
that we really do hope in God is to
have peace when the tempest RACES.
To have quiet in our souls when the
storm is roaring all around us, and to
feel assured that no matter how
threatcnirr and forbidding things may

full and rags were shining garments
which she would take out Of chests,
airing and smoothing them caressing-
ly, recalling the festive occasions on
which they had been worn, but, with Il
sigh, putting them back into their hid
ing places. Her hands were whittier
than the old dame of the carpet rags
and jewels sparkled on her fingers, but
mothers words came back to me: 1T
is with rags, old and new, that most OF
US spend our lives"
Blessed are We if permitted to use
these rags wisely, to adorn ourselves
seemingly and not forgetting some
times to wrap a warm shawl over shiv-
cring shoulders, a blanket about weary
llmDS.
Aunt Sallie lived alone, though the
neighbors often said it was hot safe.
Ter only son had settled in the West,
and sometimes made journey to see
MS mother, but never could persuade
her to go back with him, or change her
mode of living. She liked to sit by her
own fireside, to light her evening candle
and read chapter of the Bible, and
wind up the old family clock, and, as
she said, "she could go to bed mistress
and rise up master"
1t was just before Thanksgiving that
David, the son, had come with his wife
and little ones to spend this home
gathering holiday with the old mother.

! friendly light, and quietly stole up TO
the window to sec what she was doing
within. Sure enough, there she sat
peacefully reading her chapter. AS
they looked, she dozed over her book,
the candle was very near, her head
nodded towards it. The friil of her cap
caught the flames. In an instant her
gray hair was in blaze.
David rushed to the door, 1t was
carefully locked. Flinging himself
against it with all his might, the old
door yielded. Catching up strip OF
rag carpet from the floor, he threw 1t
about the form of his mother and
smothered out the fire. Her hair and
hands were scorched, but the instant
application of home remedies prevented
serious results.
The neighbo-s said it was surely a
warning; that she must not live all by
her lone self. "It was just blessed
providence that mother was not burned
to DEATH" said David's wife, as she
went about the house next day prepar-
ing the Thanksgiving dinner.
David said, in his brisk way, though
not without feeling: Eyes, mother, we
arrived just in time"
well, it were mercy We come when
we did," said the mother; "but, David,
we have just completely ruined ny very
purtieGt strip O. rag carpet"

Churches on Wheels.

A conspicuous feature of the religious
work of the American Baptist Publica-
ton society are churches en- wheels.
Four railroad cars are in service for
evangelical work, and the good people
of Detroit are about to make the num-
Der five. The first car was placed In
commission five years ago. Its success
was so manifest, and the amount OF
good accomplished so great, that an
other was added the following year,
and one has been added every year
since. The cars go to towns which
have no churches, and when side
tracked services are conducted by two
missionaries. The cars have the right
of way on all the railroads of the coun-
try, and conductors everywhere have
orders to attach them to any and all
trains on the request of the mission
aries in charge. No charge is made,
and some of the railways even supply
heating and lighting.
