TENDERNESS.

Not unto every heart is Gods good gift
or simple tenderness allowed; we meet
With love in many fashions when we lift
First to our lips life's waters, bitter
sweet.
Love comes upon us with resstless power
OF curbless passion, and with head
strong will;
1t plays around like April's breeze and
shower,
Or calmly flows, rapid stream, and
still
1t comes with bessedness unto the heart
That welcomes it Alright, or-bitter
fate.-
1t wrings the bosom with so fierce n
smart,
That love, we cry, is crueer than hate.
And then. ah mel When love has ceased
to bless,
Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness!
We long for tenderness like that which
hung
About us, lying on our mothers breast;
A selfish feeling, that no pen or tongue
Can praise Alright, since silence sings it
best
A love, as far removed from passions
heat
As from the chillness of its dying fire;
A love TO lean on when the falling feet
Begin to totter, and the eyes to tire.
In youths bright hey-day hottest love we
seek,
The reddest rose we grasp--but when it
dies,
God grant that later blossoms, violets
meek,
May spring for us beneath life's autumn
skies;
God grant some loving one be near to
bless
Our weary way with simple tenderness!

The Likeness of Christ.

1t Is not merely by watching the life
of Christ as illustrated by His actions,
or His principles set forth by His
words, that we gain likeness to Him.
There is strange power in personality
to affect other natures. The child grows
to be like one whom he constantly
watches. He may or may not make a
conscious effort for that likeness, but
the likeness comes. People of larger
growth, maturer, more independent de-
yelopment, are often strangely drawn
by constant contact into likeness to one
another, without so much as thought
Of the process. John says: I'VE shall
be like Him, for we shall see Him as
He is" What we need here is to see
Christ-see Him, not merely as He was
but as He is, and we shall find the like.

The Answer of Prayer.

The answer of prayer stands knock
ing at the door of the prayer meeting in
Acts -: 10. That was too unexpected
an occurrence for the assembly of be-
levers. They avowed that the maid
bearing the information was either
crazy or had seen a ghost How sur
prised faithful Christians often are If
prayer is really heard. Answers to
prayer are recounted with unending
exclamation marks, whereas answer Of
true prayer ought to be considered the
most natural experience In Gods uni
verse. Much praying is a mere per-
Torrance. A farmer coming to town
read at physicians door, please pull
the bell" He pulled until a head was
poked out of the window inquiring
"Wen?" ooh, I've read the sign and
thought it nc more than polite to pull"
was his response. The only response
that could perhaps be given by many
who feel themselves called upon in the
Bible to pray. They do not read that
the young Pharisee transacted many a
prayer before heaven said Of him, BE
hold, he prayeth." Their arrows shot
heavenward have plenty of feather but
no point. They do not spread the fleece,
like Gideon, for the dew to descend up
on.-F. w. G. Meyer.

Old.Fashioned Block Islanders Stu Send
Their Wool Into Connecticut,

The hum of the spinning wheel is still
a familiar sound in Block Island, al
quaint and interesting resort in sum-
mer and miniature world in winter.
in which the habits and customs are
those of $50 years ago. The island is Is
miles off Inc Rhode Island shore and
almost directly south of stormy Point
Judith, says the New York Herald.
The heads of 80 Block Island families
set sail in fishing boats the other day
and pushed up the Thames river to Oak
dale, where they left heaps of wool TO
be carded into rolls for hand spinning.
The rolls will be spun and knitted into
stockings and mittens for the protec-
lion of the hardy islanders against the
bleak winter winds of the Atlantic.
There are times during the winter
when the wind sweeps across the tree
less land at a velocity of "a miles an
hour, and women take their lives in
their hands when they venture out OF
doors. The isolation of the island is
almost complete.
John Schofeld established the first
woollen mill in Connecticut near Oak
dale, where the carding was done bv
power cards. In 1898 the Block Island.
ers began to send wool to the mill to be
carded into rolls, and generation after
generation have kept up the practice.
Formerly many bags of grain accom-
panied the wool, and grist and woollen
mills were kept running day and night.
while the fishermen and farmers en-
joyed themselves in the quiet Connecti-
cut village Until the work was done.

Speaking of boys reminds me. saws a
writer IN the Boston Gazette, of story
which Polly told the other day. when
she came up from Marblehead Neck to
cheer my malarial gloom. 1t seems
Marblehead boys have the reputation of
being the worst in the state, and a
worthy minister who went there to fill
a vacant pulpit one Sunday had occa-
sion to verify the truth of this. for on
his way to church he was numerically
hooted and stoned. Filled with right
eous indignation, the worthy divine re-
marked from the pulpit in mournful
tones upon the depravity manifested
by the old towns boys. Some time later
he again visited the place, and this time
he met with no insults and did not even
see single hoodlum on his churchward
walk. Being a just man he desired IN
praise as well as blame, and so he said
that he was truly rejoiced to see that
the youth had seen the error of their
ways and had turned aside from the
path OF theevildoers. Thereupon arose
small boy in the gallery, who shriekel
forth in gleeful malignity: Don't Won
believe it. They've just gone down TO
barnegat to stone a funeral, and when
tney come back won't you catch it,"

SPOILED THE SPEECHES.
Disastrous Eject OF Foolish Questions
Upon Congressional Oratory.

DISASTROUS Effect OF Foolish Questions
Upon Congressional Oratory.
There are times when the question or
remark of persistent interrupter will
destroy the effect of speech and dis
courage the orator almost to the point
of breaking down, says the Troy Times.
When Bryan, of Nebraska. in the Fifty
third congress, was in the midst OF a
rhetorical climax and with arms up
lifted was gushing a very familiar line,
The house was convulsed by the ques-
ton of Walker, of Massachusetts,:
"Who wrote that?" The whole thing
was so ridiculous that it was five min
utes before Bryan could go on. Here is
another: Thomas Bartlett, of Vermont,
was renowned for his flights of elab-
crate rhetorical oratory, and seat in
congress was the special goal of his
ambition. When he was elected story
of how he had been silenced by an audi
ence of college boys got around, and on
the occasion of the new members first
appearance the house was prepared to
receive him in anything but serious
spirit Rising to indorse proposition
which had just been vigorously at
tackled he began to declaim impressive
ly: 'Sir, were it not for the rules of the
house 1 would pour upon the opponents
of this measure the walls Of my wrath
He got no farther. Mr.. Polk, of Ten
nessee, was upon his feet in moment,
moving, with every appearance of eager
interest, "that the rules be suspended
and the gentleman allowed to pour!"
Such a disconcerting burst of laughter
followed that the unfortunate orator
could only subside wrathfully into 81
lence and his seat.

Mohammedans, Brah minis and Buddhists
Deny the Holiness of Christ.

There are millions upon millions of
bgate Christmas, and there are other
millions to whom Christmas is objec-
tionable, says the New York Herald.
Take the followers of Mohammed,
for instance. They are divided into
40 or so different sects, among which
are the Nousay-rie-yeh. There are
about $4,000 of them, and they believe
in transmigration of the soul. They
believe that mems souls pass after
death into the bodies of animals. For
them the story of the birth and life
of Christ has no charms.
Then there are the Druses, who pro-
fess to have knowledge that God has
visited the world 234 times, but they
do not believe in Christ. For them
Christmas has no significance.
1t is equally disregarded by Bud
xlhists, japanese, Chinese, Brahmins
and Mohammedans. '''There is no God
but Allah" says the Mohammedans,
"and Mohammed is His prophet" No
hammed's followers also have curious
notions in regard to the fate of the un-
believers children. Some believe that
these children act as the servants of
the faithful in Paradise, and Moham-
med is recorded as saying on one oc-
caSion to his wife:
IF thou desirest I cam make thee
hear their cries in hades.''
Other Mohammedan authorities,
however, dissent from this view, and
one of them boldly says: 81 know that
Allah will not torment those who have
not committed any sin"
