improved by adding a cup of sweet
cream he last hour of baking.

ing meats of all kinds; it gives a. good

Patriots In ,Janan.

Among the reasons for the almost
uninterrupted success OF Japan in
prosecuting the war with China is the
spirit OF sacrifice and generosity
exhibited by her people. Voluntary
contributions amounting to almost
SIS. 000, 900 have been received by the
government. The bank of the No
bility, which has given 81, 600, 900 out
right, has also placed $15, 900, 600
interest free, at the disposal of the
authorities. The noblemen and wealthy
merchants have been most patriotic,
and number of them have contributed
mor than 500, 900 each. Public
spirit in China with reference to the
unfortunate conflict presents a melan-
choly contrast.

FIGS AND TH1sTLEs.

When the world comes to it's worst,
1t will soon be at it's best.
Be a friend to the friendless, if you
would keep close to Christ.
Keep the heart young, and the body
will be slow in growing old.
The mar who wears a hair shirt
hates those who dress comfortably.
1t is safe to believe that God is still
against the devil, no matter how things
look.
The inventor of pins did more for
the world than the builder of the pyr-
amids.
1t is better to have little talent and a
noble purpose, than much talent and no
purpose.
How easy it would be to love unlove-
~ people, if we could only see them as
God does.
We should use all the light God has
given us, to help those who are still in
the dark.
The man who has never had a wish
20 be good and true, has not yet heard
God speak.
The pond is an ocean to the tadpole.
1t robs the world for a nan of ability
to live in idleness.
The power of rum will some day be
~overthroWn with as little ceremony as
the legion Of devils went out of the
Gadarene.
Nothing pays smaller dividends in
spiritual results, than making a spe-
clalty OF discovering the shortcomings
of other folks.
No man has a call from God to go as
a missionary to the other side of the
world, until he has done something for
Christ at home.
A sanctifed millionaire made the
devil very tired in the days of Job, and
the same kind of a man can do the
same thing yet.
Much of the trouble in this world is
caused by the man with the beam in
his eye trying to point out the mote in

If we could see men as angels see
