TRUMPET CALLS.
Rams Horn Sounds a Warning Note
to the Unredeemed.

Every fac, is the child of thought.
Christ lived all the truth he taught.
God made other men to show US
what is in US.
The Christian who worries much
prays too little.
As soon as men see God they begin
10 see as He sees.
Are you building your house on a
poor foundation?
There is no faith in the prayer that
expects no ahswcr.
a sinners lite is full Of things he
tries to hide from himself.
\ good mans life IS a voice III which
NANNY hear God speak.
No matter how God warns the sin
ner He always does it in love.
The devil cannot be shut up in the
pit while the saloon door is open.
Whoever gets a blessing from God
Immediately wants somebody else to
have one.
The whitest thing in this world is
the soul that has been washed IN the
blood of the Lamb
Putting sand in sugar is no worse
than claiming TO be saint and living
like a sinner.
II is not hard TO believe in Christ
when wc,see His face in the lives Of
those We love
II every man Ill the pulpit had been
called of God 10 preach, the dew!
would now be on clutches.
There is no trouble 50 bad that we
may not get good out of it by talking
it over with the Lord.
No man can add cubit to his
stature, and yet, the world is kept
moving by those VIII are trying to
| do it.

SO Says 4 Wise notller.

That very few are just to children.
Tina, 1t is usually easier to be gener-
Gus than just.
That many children become dis
Outraged because their best efforts
meet with no approval.
That nothing causes a child to cease
his efforts to please sooner than to find
that everything he does is taken as a
matter of course
That each child's disposition as
we'll as his constitution should be
studied, consclentously and carefully.
That child has a right to some
consideration of his tastes in the mat
ter Of dress ard food as we'll as his
amusements.
That we are too often arbitrary
with the little ONES; too often our
whlms are the only excuses we can
offer for trampling on their rights;
and that they are SO observing that
they read our motives much more
clearly than we are aware.

THE NEW YEAR.

We are standing on the threshold,
We are in the open door,
We are treading on bOrderland,
We ave never trod before;
Another year i, gone,
We have passed the darkness OF the night;
We are in the early morn.
We have left the fields behind US
Ger which we scattered 'eed,
We pass into the future.
Which none of Us can read.
The corn among the weeds,
The stones, the surface mould,
May yield partial harvest;
We hope for sixty-fold.
Then hasten to fresh labor,
To thrash, and reap. and sow.
Then bid the new year welcome:
And let the old year go
Then gather all your VigOr,
Press forward i'll the fight.
An let this be your motto:
For God AMI for the right.

THE SWEETEST THING ON EARTH.

What are the sweetest things of earth?
Lips that can praise rivals worth;
A fragrant rose that hides no thorn.
klches of gold untouched by scorn.
A happy little child asleep;
Eyes that can smile though they may
weep;
A brotherS cheer; a fathers praise;
The minstrelsy of summer days.
A heart whose anger never burns:
gift that looks for no leturns:
Wrongs overthrow; pains quick release
DARK footsteps guided into peace.
The light of love in lovers ewes;
age that Is young as we'll a. wise;
A mothers kiss: a babv's mirth
these are the sweetest things on earth.
