Personal Influence.

The secret of the influence some peo-
pie possess over others is most difficult to
discover. Some who lack personal beau
ty of face and form, who have neither
education nor culture of society, possess
ing neither wealth nor brilliant CONVEX
sational powers, destitute, in fact, of all
the ordinary elements of popularity, still
seem to have wonderful influence over
other people. Perhaps the unaffected in
terest they manifest in others welfare,
the genuine goodness Of soul and trans
parency of motive are the chief factors
in their. success. True it is that if we
would benefit others we must forget
self. No niggardly scrimping of SYM
pathy and care for personal comfort ever
ruled in the heart of one who became
largely helpful to Others There is no
way of winning others except by the
complete giving of self first, unreserved-
ly and without bargain. Even Christ
could save no man till He had given His
own life for the lost.
If you want to save some one, do a
little dying for him. Die unto self and
live for him, and you stand chance to
win him.

Conventions For 1903.

The biennial conference Of the first
general district will be held in the early
part of July. The Epworth League
union of Springfield, Mass, has request
ed that it be held in their city. Several
other places have been mentioned, but
as it has never been held in that place
and as Springfield is very favorably To-
Gated, being of easy access by railroad
from all parts of New England, it is
probable that the cabinet will accept
the invitation.
Vermont is to have state convention
June 2l-3 in Burlington. Before this
the forces of the League have been sep
arated by the mountains and two con-
ventions have been held, one east and
the other west Of the range This has
been largely due to the fact that the
state is divided between the Vermont
aud Troy conferences. Nov. /, 1897, a
joint commission from the Leagues Of
the two conferences met in Montpelier
and arranged for the union convention
In June.

Topic For The Week Bsginning Feb. ~.
Comsnent by Rev. 9. H. Doyle.
ToPIc.-Getting close 90 Cnrist.-Luke Z.
6s-t2; John xvii. 1910.
The home scenes described in the life
Of Christ are few In number, but inter.
esting in character. None has been Of
more interest than this one recorded by
Luke, where Jesus and His disciples
came to the home Of Martha and Mary
at Bethany. Martha, probably being the
older and the head Of the house, began
to concern herself with the entertain
emit Of her guests and. as is 80 often the
case with womankind under the circum.
stances, worked herself into state of
high nervous excitement. Mary, being
OF quiet, spiritual disposition, pre-
ferred to sit close to Jesus at His feet to
listen to the words that fell from His
lips as He talked to His disciples. In
this position Martha in her excitement
chided Mary for her thoughtlessness and
appealed to Christ Himself to bid Mary
come and assist her, but Christ rebuked
Martha for her overanxiety about the
unimportant things of life and COM
mended Mary for her absorbing interest
in the highest welfare of her being. He
thus teaches us that it is better to get
close by Him and to stay close by Him
than to be overinterested in and con-
cerned about the things of life, which
perish with the usage.
l. We can get close to Christ by study
ing His word. He is no longer upon
earth In bodily form, that we can sit at
His feet as Mary did and listen to His
words Of matcbless wisdom, but His
words have not all been lost to the world.
Many Of them have been recorded and
preserved for our use today. We can
still sit at His feet and listen to His
words if we will only take the Bible
and read and study it. It's wonderful
how little we appreciate and how care
lessly we use this blessed privilege Of
listening to the voice of Christ Himself.
2. We can get close to Christ in
prayer. Not only can we read what
Jesus has said, listen to His voice in the
Scriptures, but we have the priceless
privilege of talking to Him, commun-
ing with Him in prayer. This is a great
blessing that we enjoy, and we should
not fail to realize it. We should spend
much time with Christ in prayer, hold
ing soul to soul communion with Him,
that our dispositions and our characters
may become more and more like His.
The one aim of our lives should be to
be more like Christ. The closer we keep
to Him, in thought and word and deed,
the more like Him we will become. 1t
is His desire that we should be like
Him, that He and we should be one,
and one also with God. Let us therefore
study thoroughly and repeatedly His
word and imbibe His character and dis
position, as manifested in it. Let us
hold constantly sweet communion with
Him in prayer, until we shall be trans
formed by the power Of the Spirit into
His very likeness.

FRIGHTENED BY A PARROT.
Polly's Voice Frightened n Burglar. Who
Mistook 1t For o Mans.


The residence of Mr.. Harry B. Pyne
in Louisville was entered the other aft
ernoon by peddler, who, finding Mrs.
Pyne alone, attacked her and would
probably have injured her seriously had
he not mistaken the cries of parrot in
an adjoining room for those of man
coming to the rescue. He obtained only
about $3.50 in money, although Mrs.
Pyne's diamonds were almost in his
grasp when he was frightened away.
At about o'clock in the afternoon a
peddler stopped in front of the house
and walked in with his hands full Of
vegetables. AS he entered Mrs. Pyne
had just locked up set of valuable dia-
monds worth about $500. The man saw
the jewels disappear and, glancing
around the house to see if any one was
in sight, demanded the keys of her cab
met. On her refusal he advanced upon
her, and she snatched up the poker and
struck him over the head, momentarily
staggering him. He lodged in under
the poker and struck her squarely in
the face with his fist, knocking her
down. At this moment, when he was
about to wrench the keys to the cabinet
from her hand, the parrot in the next
room began to call out, II am comingr'
The burglar became panic stricken
and ran from the house, evidently mis-
taking the parrot for man. There was
no one in the house at the time except

Egyptian Tombs.

These tombs, considered the oldest
monuments of Egypt, are supposed to have
been erected before or during the time of
Joseph, and are profusely ornamented
with variety of colored figures, demon
strating ocularly that these ancient peo-
pie were as gay and nimble as they were
depicted, solemn and immovable In their
usual sculpture. On some of the walls
were hunting scenes, women playing the
sackbut and dulcimer, or applying with
cheerfulness the bastinado to those of
either sex who stood in need Of reforma-
tory measures; glass blowers, brickmak-
ers, BARRIERS, plying their vocation and
even chiropodist attending to business.
Over each picture was written what the
artist intended to represent-an idea that
might be employed to advantage by some
of our fin de steele painters.

To Those Who Do Not Help.

In many churches few are left to do
most of the work, while the rest of the
members, who ought to have the same
interest, either do nothing or are critics
There is no better way to keep all hands
from mischief than to find some good
for them to do. Many captious critic
has been cured of his habit by being put
to work to do better than those whose
work he criticises. How much happier
are the people who can justly feel they
are Of much use in the world than those
who realize that they are mere drones
There is no comparison between them
In real satisfaction. Men sometimes
complain of hard work, but there is no
man who has SO much reason to COM
plain as the man who has nothing to
do.-Christian Instructor.

L Will

That is the turning point of life. Not
the longings, the dreaming, the feelings
and wishing, but the choosing, is what
shapes the course of destiny. The will
is the rudder of life. Too much mistake
is made here. Religion has appeared to
be rested too much on the feelings and
the understanding. Emphasis has been
placed on what is believed. "What is
your creed?" has been the test OF piety
with many. "How do you feel?" has
been the all important question with
Others The real test of character lies in
"What will you do?" Determination de-
cides destiny. There must be an ade-
quate basis of knowledge. One must
know the right that should be- done.
Then comes choice for or against that
right. will, or will not, which shall
it be? 1t matters not how feel. All
past action and association may have
co-operated to make the doing of right
and duty distasteful and difficult. All
future prospects may promise hardship
and persecution. All allurements may
beckon the way of the wrong. If l know
it to be wrong, no seductiveness of
pleasure promised can render it other
than evil, must say no. No contempt
of others can be so bitter as self con-
tempt. No lash of enmity can equal the
sting of ones own outraged soul. l
ought; therefore l will. That settles it
for me for all time. am king, and the
king shall rule his own. In exile and
obscurity, unknown or only known to
be hated, but in consciousness of integ
rity, knowing ones kingliness, all can
be borne and patiently waited for, the
day shall dawn when the king shall
come to his own.
