THE HOLY SPIRIT A MAaSrF1ER.

I once climbed the long flight of steps to
a lighthouse. expected to find monster
lamp in the tower, but was shown small
ones. not larger than our parlor lamp. IL
one were set in the window, it would not
cast light twenty feet on the water The
lighthouse keeper explained whence came
its power, He set slagTOEs5, and refeeosG, IT'S
4GGf ttIus protected many precious human
lives from being dashed upon the treacher-
Gus rocks. That visit taught me a lesson.
How often are Christians content to remain
like those small lamps, casting such feeble
rays If we are indeed 1.-The light of the
world, we must put our spiritual lamps
under the magnifytpg power of the Holy
Spirit. Then we shall be beacon lights to
guide those who are upon the ocean of life
and amid temptations hard to be conquered.
Those lighthouse lamps must be kept clean
and bright, So must our spiritual lamps be
polished by holy prayer and holy living

as if no one breathed. Then as the
anthem softly died away, the people
broke forth into tumult of feeling.
The stage was literally covered with
flowers and her name was rung forth
again and again. She stood, one hand
resting On music rack, the other
holding her roll, waiting for the ex-
citement To az away. Then she said
in her own quiet way, II thank you-
my friends, and taking The masters
hand she would have left the place,
but had scarcely walked few steps
when she paused and would have fallen,
but Il ster caught her in his arms
and "A her away fainting. He
took home and watched her ten

She had spoken but little through the
day, and now as the even tide was
coming she turned, and like little
child, weary and tired, seeking for
comfort, she gently drew the hand of
the friend who had been so much to
her on earth under her cheek, and fell
asleep. When the head grew heavy
and the cheek cold, the master drew
his hand away. He was alone,

girl, was dead.
Should you chance to visit that

will be shown the spot where Berthald
had SO often waited, listening for the

where SO many times she had caroled
forth her sweetest songs; the very
seat close beside the masters that had
been hers. Back Of the church in q
quiet spot they will take you ana stand
With uncovered head beside two

A PRAYER FOE pREpARAr1oN.

o God, our Father, whose will it is that
none should perish but that all should live,
enable US so to use thy gift OF freedom that
it shall prepare us for the eternal life of
holiness with thee. When In the tempta-
tions of the world we are sifted as wheat.
grant us that our faith fail not.
When we are in peril from the Iusts
that war against the soul, be
thou our guard. For thine own pity
and for the love of those who need as and
who suffer when we fall, preserve us in the
hour Of weakness. For the love wherewith
Christ loved US, grant US the fellowship of
His spirit when we are tried in the likeness
Of His emptations. And Thou who hast
helped us to the victory of faith shall re-
ceive our grateful service eyermore through
Christ, who for our redemption was tempted
and oyercame. Amen. -

To Prepare Easter Eggs.

A common way of preparing the
eggs is to immerse them in. wotto-,
fav ~ hen wr5 sSe pointed
end OF a tallow candle write upon
them names, dates or events. After
this the eggs are placed in pan of
hot water containing the dyestufs.
Then the tallow is rubbed off and the
inscription remains clear. Eggs
colored in this way are often retained
in families i'll England for many gener-
ations. They are as good q record of
family happenings as family Bible.
To preserve them from the wear and
tear Of much handling they are placed
in deep, long-stemmet. glasses where
the inscriptions can easily be read
through the thinsglass.

EASTER SONG.

Awake, awake, o earth!
Thy many voices raise,
And let thy echoing hills
Repeat the note Of praise.
Let all thy isles rejoice;
Let seas take up the strain
Christ from the dead hath come;
He lives, he lives again!
Awake, awake, o earth!
Forget the hour of gloom
w en- in thy shuddering breast
Thy Maker claimed tomb.
Pit "a thy Eintry robes
For garb Of joyous spring;
Crown thee with lilies fair
To greet the risen King!
Bring treasures of the field,
Bring leaf and blossom sweer,
Thy choicest and thy hest,
Before His pierced feet.
While al thy sons are glad,
And tears are put away,
Let youth and age alike
Sing Christ is risen today
Lit up thy gates with praise,
And robes Of Joy put on,
The Lord Of Life and Death
Hath risen to His throne.
He nath gone up on high,
And giveth gifts to men,
He lives, no more to die,
Alleluia, Amen!

RELIGIOUS READING.

The Lord of us all takes in His hand
The leaden hammer called Anguish,
And beats on the hearts
OF His people
To try them, if they be strong
In His bope, in His peace, in His love.
And to each one He speaks
II they listelt-
Il am with thee, so be
Not discouraged;
Only those whom / love
Do chasten and when
Thy small, painful years shall have ended,
And thou seest before thee
The glorious light,
The plan and purpose of life,
Then shalt thou see that
The leaden hammer called Anguish
Is My infinite Question.
Which is put to the souls of men;
And If ye answer. My children,
With unmurmuring, loving submission
Then will lead you each
Home by the hand,
Into inetfable joy.'

WHOM THE LoRV >ovErH HE cHAsrENErH.


Jesus Christ ta ssa world of pains in the
making of frs class christian. Some
times He appli sis pruning knife so that
every branch of his vine may bring forth
more fruit. Kuives are made to cut, and
sometimes our loving Masters knife cuts
deep. SO does the sculptors chisel. Before
the sculptor's eye there rises a certain ideal
form which he desires to bring out of the,
marble, and he does not ask the marbles
permission to apply either chisel or hammer
Before our Masters eye there is an ideal of
what you and | ought to he, and if He can
correct our faults, and develop our graces,
and increase our influence for good, and
make US better Christians, He does not hesi-
tate to use sharp instruments. Whom I
love I chasten;' and the literal meaning Of
the word is to cause suffering. The Master
has great many places for His gold whers
He rehnes it, May you not be in just one
Of those places now? II so, then it is the,
best place for you.-ThaN4' CuV'

taken up by the kind master of the engine
and reforged in any hot furnace of pain. and

Easter Ways in England anu Ireland.

In some parts Of England it is the
proper and necessary thing for women
to play ball on Easter Sunday. In
other parts of the same island man
has the right to lift three times from
the ground any woman whom he may
meet, and the woman must pay six
pence or a kiss for the attention; so
the local Sandows find themselves in
great luck, but on Easter Monday 3sA++S5
women have. the -
4Huuer.
llkg Il Ireland and elsewhere some good
people believe that the sun dances on
Easter morn, and those who stare long
enough at the glowing ball find their
eyes nervous enough to see anything
Of which they may be thinking.

LIFE FULL OF FRAGMENTS.

Life here is short even at the longest. We
cannot finish in threescore and ten wears
the great things we dream of in our best
moods. Then, only comparatively a few
lives reach this full limit of age It is but a
little that we can do in our short. broken
years. We begin things, and we are inter
rupted in the midst of them. Before they
are half finished we are called away to some
thing else, or laid aside by illness, or our
life ends, and the work remains incomplete.
1t is pathetic, when & busy man has been
called awagsuddenly, to go into his office,
his study,4r 4r his place OF work, and see the
unfinished yshings he has left the letter half
written, tie book half read the column of
figures half added up, the picture begun but
not completed. Life is full of fragments,
the mere beginning of things. If there were
nothing beyond death, little would come of
this poor fragmentary living and doing.
But when we know that life will go on with
out serious break through endless years, it
puts new meaning into every noble and
worthy beginning. Every eight and good
thing, however small it may seem, shall live
foreyer-J. r. Miller, D. D., in Things
to Live For"
