WHO SUFFERS MOST HATH MOST TO GIVE.
We admire a beautiful Christian char
acter, but how 10th we are to submit
ourselves to that godly discipline and
training unto righteousness and holiness
Of life which alone can make us to be
like our Divine Master.
If you would be sailor you must go
to sea. You cannot become real sailor
and stay on the land. If you would be
strong and skillful mariner you must
have the varied experiences of all kinds
OF weather. A calm sea makes a poor
sailor; 1t is the stormy sea that makes
the good sailor. So the perfection of the
Christian character requires a life of
labor and experience. Faith to be strong
and pure must have it's trials. 1t lie
easy to believe when the sun shines and
all goes well; but the test of faith it that
it holds on to the hand of God when the
light goes out and we are forced to walk
in the dark. Walking with God is going
by faith and not by sight.
Would you like to have the grace of
patience? Then you must have trials.
"Tribulation worketh patience" How
can one learn to be patient if he never
has anything to contend with? Nothing
vexing to bear, no troubles that demand
care, self.control and. kind considerations
Would you like to have cheerful
courage? and hopeful disposition?
patience, experience; and experience,
hope" Hope is the exercise of faith of
life.
Would you have kind and sympathis-
ing hearth Then you must be willing to
suffer. "The captain of our salvation
was made perfect through suffering"
1t has been said that:
''SOrrow is but one form of love-"
Measure thy life by loss instead OF gain.
Not by the wine drunk,
But the wine poured forth.
For,love's strength standeth in loves sacrifice,
And who suffers most hath most to give"

mother sang TO her child one day
song of the beautiful home above;
Sang it as only woman sings.
whose heart is full OF mothers love.
And many time In the years that came
He heard the sound OF that low, sweet song
1t took him back to his childhood days;
1t kept his feet from the paths OF wrong.
A mother spoke to her child one day
In an angry voice, that made him start
As If an arrow had sped that way
And pierced his loving and tender heart.
And when he had grown to mans estate,
And was tempted and tried, as all men are,
He tell, Tor that mothers angry words
Had LETT on his heart a lasting scar.

III--AULD LANG SYNE.

IH-AULD LANG sYNE.
It was typical Thanksgiving day.
The belated snow felt prick of consci-
ence at the last, and the night before
gave the earth its coveted prize. The
morning dawned crisp and sparkling,
with the merry bells juggling in unison
with happy hearts behind them.
All through the week the interest in
private parties and home-gatherings had
been more or less absorbed in the
''doin's" at the old house on the brow of
| the hill; many pleasant remembrancea to
Dorcas and kind words to Esther found
their way thither. The house itself had
been freshened, not remodeled. Trim.
med without and within, it still retained
it's own unique individuality. The spin
ming wheel with its snowy rolls occupied
one corner of the kitchen; fax-wheel
in another invited some coquettish
Priscilla; while the low, queer old wood
en- cradle had been brought down from
the attic for the one baby guest. The
brick oven, glowing with pride in it's
former responsibility, had sent forth
savory odors of cranberry tart and
pumpkin, apple and mince, to say moth
ing Of cakes and puddings, till the stcool
buttery" was filled to overlooking.
Rumors went abroad of the wonderful
bride cake on pedestal of glory, and
how the best square room was beautiful
ly dainty in its bridal dress of pink and
white.
Dorcas was radiant, and the happiness
of the time brought the color to Esther's
cheek, driving away the shadows if they
stole in unawares; while over all
murmured an exquisitely mournful chord
of the past, vague and strange, subtly
mingling with the tender, jubilant strains
of the present.
All were astir betimes this Thankgiv-
Ing morning and the hustle and hurry in
cident to the early day were over. The
vegetables were cooking in their several
kettles hung in the fireplace on the crane,
while the old Dutch oven held the fiaky
biscuits, browning in front of glowing
Goals.
The last finishing touches had been
given to parlor and dining-room, and
Hannah sat down with one eye on the
