GODS NEED OF US.
One Poor Excuse for Sinking Re-
sponsibiIity Examined.

One Poor Excuse for Sinking Re-
sponsibiIity Examined.
While we understand our great need
OF God, we seldom realize how much He
needs US to help us carry on His own
work in the world. We say sometimes
His work will go on without our help,
and that eternal plans and purposes new
er fail in their fulfllment. ltistructhat
Gods work does go onward, yet this Is
false reasoning just the same, for it is
more perfect when all moral and spirit
ual forces unite in doing it.
The reasoning, too, that humble in
fluences amount 10 but little in Gods
great work is also false, for these are
needed perhaps just as much as grand,
heroic labor for Him. The sweet an
them may go on with it's inspiration,
yet the imperfect notes mar its har-
mony and CRATE harshly on the sensitive
ear. While our duh ears may not catch
this discord connected with the eternal
anthem, angels may weep because OF
clashing notes, or Of the silent chords
that do not respond to the holy touch OF
Gods love. O how grand would be the
melody in this world II every voice
joined in il, in honor of him who Gre
ated the sweet music OF love and life.
God needs us and every power that we
possess. The weak arm can do impor-
tant work as we'll as the strong one.
The child is needed quite as much as
the man. There is often as much in
SEPARATION in the gentle, pleading voice,
MS in the ringing tone of the eloquent
preacher The little quiet sunbeam
stealing through the cloud rift is need
ed as truly as floods of MONDAY sun
light.
God needs us because a great deal OF
His work is performed by human hands.
He works through us and by us. He
needs us as surely as we need Him. III
we fail there is future somewhere in
His works. No other hand can do our
work as we'll as we can do IL ourselves.
IN we stop, n note is gone out OF the
music, and there Is an unused key. III
we refuse to add our strength TO the
work, some other tired arm must do
more, and perhaps falter because OF the
enlarged burden.
Yes, God needs MS, and we ought TO
hid Him as far as we can. We always at
tend to the needs OF our loved ones, and
Of those that loveus. Why not be as true
TO Him who loves us with an Infinite
Love? If we were, Gods work would
go on in perfect harmony forever. The
world would sooner be in His keeping,
and sin lose it's power TO blight and de-
file human beings. Let us remember
that God needs ms.-Christian Work.

GODS LOVE.

There is a love that answereth the hungry
human cry.
A love that fills an empty void no other
can supply;
Its depth no man can fathom, not cen the
angels know.
OH. GIFT OF God the dearestl that He should
love me so.
This love. 80 sweet and precious, doth
hourly thrill my breast:
Finds Joy in all He senceth. and knows IT'S
for the best.
Accepts IL as the richest gift His dear hand
could bestow-
His wisdom never erreth. and He loves. He
loves me so.
When sorrows frosts have nipped from me
my dearest. fairest flowers;
When persisted all my pleasant fruits.
biighted my summer bowers
He folds me closer TO His breast, and pours
into my heart
Such love and grace and tenderness my lips
can ne'er impart.
When the storms OF life come sweeping In
fury DER my soul.
So fierce and wild that they would seem be-
yond my Gods control,
Within tho storms deep center He doth
hush me into peace.
And, Gained and stilled by His great love,
1 walt my sure release.
1 know no III can come TO me upon my Pill

Since love hath chosen all in love. love
safely leads the way;
And brighter and more glorious doth glow
this love divine.
Az the earthly shadows gather and Heav-

SERVING OUR GENERATION.
To Do This Wen should he Orr High
est Aim.


The old conception OF personal Chris
tianity was that il meant hardly more
than securing ones own salvation. This
was it's principal aim. Being OF spir-
itual use to others was involved, but
was secondary in Importance. But now
the purpose OF service TO others has as
sumed the greater prominence, and IL
Is held that the surest way to secure
ones own salvation is TO spend ones
nelf in loyal effort to win others to
Jesus Christ. The personal aim is not
lost 20 sight. But IL is pursued from n
new point Of view, and it's relation to
other motives is altered. This result
has come about as the result OF study
and imitation Of Jesus who came mot
20 be ministered unto, but TO min
ister." that Is, TO serve.
OF course, personal conservation is vi
tai II we are to be of any useful spiritual
service 20 our fellowinen. We cannot
teach what we do not know. We cam
not be examples OF that of which we
have INCOMPETENCE. Thestream does not
rise higher than It's fountain. It's wa
ters are not purer than those which
flow from It's source. Our actions in
the way of service depend upon our
idea OF what service ought 10 he. They
are not Christlil<c and spiritually bene-
fetal unless our theory OF service Is
essentially like that OF Jesus himself.
or course, too, we must serve our
own generation, that Is, the people who
nre our contemporaries. Our RESPONSE
tility is great. but so is uropportunity.
We need 20 be very watchful lest
we fail Of doing what and all,
that we might do. But In serv-
ing our own generation we also
serve the whole human race and the dis
tant future. This truth clcvates the
humblest service TO the level OF actual
grandeur. Influence radIates indch-
nitcly from it's source and continues
cternally. We help or hinder more
persons than we know; thousands, Oft
en-. Of whom we never hear. Through
the men and women OF to-day, more
over, we reach out TO those who are
coming after them and help TO share
the motives and the conditions which
arc TO rule their souls careers.
To say OF one. as he dies. that he
served his generation well, in the high
CSC sense Of the words. Is 60 award
him the noblcstpraisc conceivable. For

"Ahl" said the young man, that is
hardly satisfactory to us. We have a
vacant half page for Monday-the very
best position in the paper-which the
proprietor thought you would like to

"As 1 said a moment ago, we are not

we should like to have some shares in

the advertisement"
ayes, that is what mean.r
Don't that strike you as being a
trifle exorbitant? Your paper has a
comparatively limited circulation, and
they do not ask us anything like that
price even in the large dailies."
"Ahl my dear sir. the large dailies

is not the kind of circulation we have.

BY A TURN OF THE HEAD.
A City oGiciaI Missed His wife. the Tho
nIer and Ills DInner.


A city official, who supposes the cpl
sode is close family secret, arranged
with his wife to meet her at the Herald
Office one night recently at seven
o'clock. They were then TO have dim
ner at hotel, and attend the theater.
He was prompt, but his wife had not
yet arrived, SO he patiently waited on
the sidewalk with his eyes on the door
that she might not come out without
his knowledge.
He paced back and forth, reading the
bulletins, observing the direction of the
wind and looking at the clock as it
marked the passing minutes; but he
saw all who entered the building. He
heard loud changing OF gongs, as a
fire engine dashed down Sixth avenue,
and turned his head for not more than
five seconds to look after it,
His wife was only few minutes late,
as she hurried from Broadway car
and rushed into the Herald Office, dur
ing the five seconds his head turned.
She had not seen him, and was pleased
TO think that he would be the one to
be blamed for being late, as she sat
down TO await his coming.
lie continued to wait and pace, as
the clock licked of the minutes. Eight
o'clock was near and he became very
impatient as he realized that IL meant
to either miss dinner or the first act
OF the play. When eight o'clock was
passed he saw another act slip away.
In few minutes more he had given up
the thenter, and feared for the dinner.
In another ten minutes all of the plans
were changed, and he determined to go
home.
She was also discouraged and hur-
ried 10 the street, 10 take n northbound
cable car. They met, and-weR, the
theater was given up, but they had the
dinner, and each promised to say moth
ing about it.-N. Y. Uerald.

When the new Offices Of the Canadian
Mica Mining Company, Limited, were
completed, Kenyon took charge OF
them. He was somewhat overpowered
by their grandeur. and he thought thar
unnecessary expense had been incurred
in the fittings, but as they were now
In for IL, he said nothing, although a
shiyer OF fear ran over him when he
thought of the possible failure of his
scheme, leaving the rapidly accumu-
lating debt hanging over him. He oc-

callers were newspaper canvasscrs who

ut that moment was unable TO supply.
An oily young man, whose cast Of coun.
tenance indicated that he belonged TO
a shrewd, thrifty and moneY-making
race, said he was commissioned by the
Financial Field 20 get particulars
about the mine, and this information
Kenyon readily supplied, feeling glad
that no advertisement was asked for.

In Michigan nearly 10000 laboring
men have signed a petition to have the
6onvicts in the state p%enitentiary EN-
ployed in road work. The field is so
large that they believe their employ
ment in work Of this character will be
no detriment to free labor. The idea is
also rapidly gaining ground among all
classes of laboring men hat it is little
short OF inhuman to compel the con
ilnement Of convicts in idleness, thus
not only wasting their energies, but
dulling their intellects and driving them
to insanity. In the building of high
ways throughout the nation there is a
vast field in which they may be employ
ed and the general demand for good
roads may be satisfied. In France the
highways are said to be perfect boule-
wards from one end OF the nation to the
other. The saving to a nation effected
by good roads is incalculable, not only
In time, but in the wear and tear upon
vehicles and horseflesh. The Michigan
people are sensible.
