HOW THE BEGGAR TAUGHT THE KING.

[JAMEs RAYMOND FERRY IN THE INDEPENDENT. ! One day King, in irritated mood, Grew angry at his Minister of State, And spoke and acted in way quite rude, And not at all becoming one so great. The Minister was vexed, yet was afraid To vent his passion on the i'll. bred King; But atterward, to ease his mind, he made His secretary wroth at some sharp fling. The secretary cooled his temper by Berating one who served about the house The servant, angered, dared not make reply And took the scolding quiet as a mouse, But raved and swore a moment later when He found a beggar at the palace gate. "Be off," he cried, ""and don't you dare again Come here, or you will meet sorry tate l' The beggar smiled but not .an angry smile smile transhguring his careworn face; The servant, sottened, stood and unused 6

This Psalm is a most beautiful blend ing of thanksgiving, praise, prayer and prophecy. The Psalmist praises and ex- tolls Gods mercy in his many deliver snces, and prays that the Great Deliv- erer will continue to be compassionate and deliver from every evil and from all falsehood. In verse nine he declares that he will sing a new song. A song altogether for God. New, also in It's reach and thought through the preva- lance Christianity, and so most appro- priateiy applies to our day and people.
 In one sense the verse of our text is a prayer, in another prophecy still going on to completion. The Psalmist prays that the sons of the generation may grow up as plants, that is, that they may be like well rooted trees, strong and vigorous. That as men of state they mayssdevelop true symmetry of charac- ter, firm and stable manhood, erect in holiness of heart. That like trees they may grow straight towards heaven. Thus the Psalmist prays that the sons may not only be planted in righteous ness and truth, but also that they may grow up In piety and develop in true godliness.
 But our thoughts at this time are to be concerned with our daughters.
 CHRISTIANITY SHOWS ITS BENIGN AND
 DIVINE SUPERIORITY
 over every other form of religion, in the care for, and the elevation of the daugh- ters to their proper place beside man, in the family, state and nation. The Bible teaches us that God took woman not from mans head to Do above him, nor
