A SUNDAY PRAYER.

Son Of God, this is thy day, and we would
give it all and altogether to thee. Wilt thou
make it day OF life to us. Help us keep
1t holy unto thee. Give us restful quiet Ia
our hearts. Prepare us in the morning for
receiving the blessings which may be offered
to us during this day. May the public and
private reading Of thy word bring us mes
sages from thee that shall sweeten and
purify all the fountains of our life. As
We pray, may heavens benedictions be
given to discomfort for our sorrow strength
for our weakness. guidance for our feet,
wisdom FOR our ignorance. AS we seex 70
be blessing to others, may We receive the
mind that was in Christ Jesus. Bless us in
our home life on this day OF rest May we
be drawn together In closer fellowship as a
family. May our love become deeper, ten
derer, more unseltsh as we mingle in wor-
ship. May thy blessing rest on those who
shall preach thy word and upon all who
shall assemble for divine service. Amen.

God VIII Guard Our Trensprc.

The infinite Ruler OF the universe, who
Is wise In counsel and wonderful In working
the God who guarded the infant Moses In
his basket Of rushes; who sent His mes.
senger birds to Elijah by the brook Che
rith; who quieted Daniel among the raw
enous beasts and Gained Paul in the
raging tempest-He It Is who says to us.
Roll your anxieties over on Me, for
have you on My heart Yet how many of
us there are who hug our troubles and saw
to God, mo, we won't let anybody carry
these troubles but ourselves" What fools
we are Just imagine weary, footsore
traveller tugging along with his pack in
hot July day. wagon comes up. and the
kindhearted owner calls .out, "Friend. you
look tired. Toss that pack into my wagon"
But the wayfarer, eying him suspicously,
mutters to himself, Perhaps he wants TO
steal 1t" or else sullcnly replies, II am OBJ
liged to you, sir, but can carry my own
luggage" The folly of such conduct is
equal to that OF the man who should check
his trunk through to Chicago and then run
into the baggage car every hour to see II his
trunk is safe. We do not hesitate to trust
our own valuable property to railway Off
clals and exprcssmen and laugh at the folly
OF those who refuse to do 1t would it not be
well then. for us to "check through" all our
dearest interests as well as our cares? When
we reach the door Of our Fathers house We
shall find that all our treasures worth keep
Ing will be safe and not one Of them lost by
the way.-Theedore l.. Cuyler, ID. ID.

LESSON THOUGHTS.
The infinite greatness of Gods gift to
us in sending his Son to die for us is
sure guarantee that no other gift
that we can ask will be too great for
him to bestow. with him he will also
freely give us all things.
All we have We owe to God, and we
are dishonest II we avoid paying our
debt in order that we may selfishly
enjoy what really belongs to another.
A defaulting bank cashier is no more
dishonest than miserly, selfish profess
sors Of Christianity.
SELECTIONS.
A child Of God was never made bank
rupt by his benevolence. What we keep
w 'hoy iosN' put Nhol We klN &c "
Christ we are sure to keep.
For the treasure freely given
Is the treasure that we hoard,
Since the angels keep in heaven
What was lent unto the Lord!
Give while thou canst, 1t is a godlike
thing.
Give what thou canst, thou shalt not
count 1t loss;
Still see thou scatter wisely: for to fling
Good seeds on rocks, or sands, or thorny
ground.
Were not to copy Him, whose gener-
Gus cross
Hath this poor world with rich SAL
walton crowned.
And when thou lookest on woes and
want around,
Knowing that God hath lent thee all
thy wealth.
That better 1t is to give than TO receive.
That riches cannot buy thee Joy nor
health
Why hinder thine own welfare? Thou
sands grieve.
Whom If thy plying hand will but re-
lieve,
They shall. for thine own wear, the
robe of gladness weave.
During the retreat of Alfred the
Great, after the defeat of his forces by
the Danes, a beggar came to his castle
and requested aims. The queen in
formed him that they had only one
small loaf remaining, which was in
sufficient for themselves and their
friends, who were gone in quest Of food,
though with little hopes of success"
The king. however, replied, Give the
poor Christian one half OF the loaf. He

Christ's Gift One OF Peace.

The breath Of summer is the voice OF
Christ--"Come ye apart and rest awhile"
80 He said to His disciples-so He said to
US. 1t is His invitation to communion. He
does not say, $50 ye apart" but always
Come" The resting is to be with Him.
How many make that invitation the ideal of
vacation-a resting with Christ? How many
take care to have Christ with them and to
rest in His loving presence2 Yet that alone
Is true refreshing. The mountains bring
pcace-but Christ's gift OF peace Is sweeter
far. The broad stretches OF lake and river
afford sweet solitude, but Christs voice on
the water adds new charm. And the best
OF 1t Is that we can have this communion
with Him wherever we are.-liev. George A.
PAUL.

THE cHILDREN's SCHOOLING.

There is really no need to teach
child to read before the age of six
years. Precocity is not thing to be
desired. Indeed, in delicate children
it is to be discouraged strongly. 1t is
not the slightest indication of talent or
genius.
years old it may be given some regular
lessons and do some actual study, but
not at the expense of health, and the
hours should be very short. Three or
four hours daily are quite enough-up
to the age of ten years.
The danger of contracting contagious
diseases in day schools must never be
forgotten. Unfortunately, it is one
from which there is absolutely no safe
guard, especially since many parents
n.'e utterly reckless of the risk to other
children which arises from sending
back 100 soon their own children who
have been ill.
Eyes are often irreparably injured
by school studies, not only as the re-
suit of insufficient or badly-placed
light, but in consequence simply of too
constant use. Many cases of near
sightedness are the result of the i'm
proper use Of the eyes early in life, OF
of eyes which need correcting by
glasses.
The great fault of the age as regards
the mental training of children is rnat
Of overpressure. We expect the chill
1ren, with their brains still in forma-
tive state, to do far mere mental work
than most of their elders do. The
danger of over-study is particularly
true in the case of girls. who are moro
disposed than boys toward Guier,
sedentary life; but both sexes must be
carefully guarded against too much
brain work.-"Care for the Baby"

INTERESTING PENSION CASE.
Secretary Davis Renders q Decision Tha,
WIN Affect Many Claimants

Secretary Davis Renders q Decision That
WIN Affect Many Claimants.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-An important
decision constituting the rights of PEN
sion claimants in line of duty cases
was rendered yesterday by Second As
sistant Secretary of the Interior Web
ster Davis The issue is made in the
case of Henry Miller. private in COM
pany K, One Hundred and First Ohio
infantry. After being relieved from
guard duty one day, Miller volun-
tarily assisted teamster in watering
mules, and while so occupied was
fired upon and injured. The depart
ment heretofore has rejected such
cases as not in the line of duty. As
sistant Secretary Davis, however, re-
verses the pension bureaus action,
holds that the claimant was not dis
obeying orders nor violating army
regulations, but was aiding a comrade
in protecting government property;
was doing something which he not only
had right to do, but was commenda-
BILE, and also was acting in the line of
duty. The adoption of this policy will
affect many claims. The case is held
to be practically similar to that of a
soldier hurt by the enemy firing on
him while he was off duty in his tent,
in pursuance of any employment at
which he had a right to be employed.

they ..Sing" on Their Fingers and ..List en-
to Sermon.
NEW YORK, July 13.-Rev. n. C.
Chamberlain preached sermon to
deaf mutes Sunday afternoon at the
Church of st. John the Evangelist
One Of the features of the services was
a quartette of girls, all mutes, each
graceful and handsome, who sang"
three songs with their fingers The
of mutes joined in the
chorus with much Zest and en-
thusiasm, as if they had the
powers of bellows and vocal chords
mighty enough to make the sounds of
a megaphone. The deaf mutes paid
the closest attention to the sermon of
DR.. Chamberlain. but to one who did
not understand the language of dex-
ferrous digits it was an entirely dull
and uninteresting affair, with the ex-
ception of the time when the quartette
of pretty girls sang their songs.
