The Henlock Land.

Hemlock destroys the soil by taking nourishment for long series of years and returning nothing. There is no rich foliage to fall after Summer and to restore more to the soil than the tree took, but only a steady and greedy absorption.
 So there are hemloeks in many homes. They never contribute to com- forts or joys of home, all are serving them, and how they despoil home of it's light and rest and joy!
 Have we hemlocks planted in our churches? Let us see to it that you and are not such.-Rev. Chas. Roads.
 Elijah was out-and-out for God. There were a hundred others-just as good prophets of God as he was-but they were in hole, living on bread and water from Ahab's tabIe-J. G. Woolley.

HOW TO eANlsH TROUBLES.

Make Them Known to tho Lord and He
 Will Find a Way.
 Hannah Whitehall Smith once knew a woman who carried heavy burden that was driving sleep away and under mining her health. She has told the following incident of how it was ban ished:
 One day when 1t seemed especially heavy, she noticed lying on the table near little tract called "Hannahs faith" Attracted by the title, she picked it up and began to read it, lit tie knowing that it was to create a revolution in her whole experience.
 ''The story was of poor woman who had been carried trinmphantly through life of unusual sorrow. She was giving the history of her life to a kind visitor on one occasion, and at the close the visitor said feelingly, oh, Hannah, do not see how you could bear so much sorrowl'
 "I did not bear it, was the quick reply; the Lord bore it for me-
 Yes, said the visitor, that is the right way. We must take our troubles to the Lord
 Yes replied Hannah, but ws must do more than that; we must leave them there. Most people, she contin- ued, take their burdens to him, but, they bring them away again, and are just as worried and unhappy as ever. But take mine, and leave them with him, and I come away and forget them. If the worry comes back, take it to him again; and do this over and over until at last I just forget I have any worries, and am at perfect rest"

The Safest Bank.

''When I am a man" said Tom, "I intend to put my money in the safest bank in the world.
 (Which bank is that?" inquired Toms father.
 Tom hadn't thought of the matter.
 As he talked it over with his father, he found there were more things than he had dreamed of to render banks uncertain-fire, flood. burglars, panics. dishonest employees, so that even the strongest in the world might be com- pelled to suspend payment.
 But, papa" Tom asked in dismay. isn't there one sure of keeping his promises?"
 "There is One who has never for gotten or broken a promise. His promises are dated thousands of years back. They are scattered over the world. Not one of them has ever been refused redemption.
 70, that's the bank for mel
 .'Here is a check book"
 He handed Tom Bible.-Christian Endeayer World.

THE GOOD MANS STEPS.

Everyone Who Lives to Please God Has
 Right to Claim His Protection.
 There is nothing more plainly re- vealed than that our heavenly Father orders the steps of a good man." If this fact were communicated to us in the original way-that is, by miracu- lous voices, as in the olden time-the information could not come with more directness and power than we now have it from day to day. Surely every one who lives wholly to please God has a right to claim his protection, his direction, and his help, not every hour only, but every moment of his life. He may not-indeed, cannot-be always thinking of this great favor. Life has it's imperative and absorbing duties. His energies are often taxed to their utmost in the struggle. It is more than a mere sentiment to live It is a serious reality, in which the
 hand, the head, and the heart are en-
 listed. The only way, therefore, for the Christian is to commit himself habitually, sincerely, unhesitatingly,
 and with godly trust into the hands of
 him who has warranted us in beliey- ing that all things have worked, do now work, and will work in the com ing days, for our good.-The Chris tian.
 "He that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as lie (Christ) is right eous." Here is the doing. and the char acter back of the doing. The one is righteous, therefore the other is, also.
 Not only so, but it is the same kind
 of righteousness, or rightness. We don't see what is gained by contradict ing God in this matter, and saying it
 is not so; it is a very doubtful kind of humility that is maintained at the ex-
 pense of not only eontradicting God, \ but thereby refusing his free gift to
 us, purchased by the precious blood Sel.

 Lift Christ UD.

And I, if be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me"
 That is not so much a promise as a description of how righteousness works.
 We could afford to spend less time persuading men, and more in illustra- ton of Him. The genuine thing draws. and does not need editing All men want to be saved, but they would rath- CT be damned than be fooled.
 Obversely, the Scripture is just as true: And I, if be cheapened and be- Titled, will repel all men from Me.
 Everybody turns away in disgust from little" man in a "big' place, and in this wrong headed but clear headed old world a cheap and nasty Christianity will not go. Men do not reason in the abstract. They go by their eyes and ears, mostly, and the average Christian is the vulgar defini- ton of Christ.
 Until Christianity shows more power over Christians it can make no strong appeal to "the world" If Christ save not the found, what message has He for the lost?
 If all men are not drawing to Christ, it is because He is not being lifted up." That proposition seems unan- swerable.
 John c. Woolley, in The Voice.
 The trolley came to a standstill. What is the matter?" "The power is off" Exactly! That Is what is the matter with many gospel car. "The power is off" Connect quickly with the power" and move on as aforetime. Christian Standard.

The curgsw Law.

The curfew tolls the knell of pass ing Hoodlumism. Over three hundred towns and cities, chiefly in the Middle West, have passed the curfew ordi- nance, requiring children under if teen, without leave of absence, to be at home by eight o'clock in winter and nine o'clock in summer. This restora- ton of an old time custom has dimin- ished youthful arrests 75 per cent in some cities, and fully 50 per cent. in others. Christian Register. =

A Remarkable Reord.

q used to ask myself" said a resi- dent of New York City few years ago. "why certain church was full or all sorts and conditions of people, lis- tening earnestly to the gospel preached by a plain, unremarkable speaker. l learned afterward that this preacher had made it a rule for twenty-five years never to let a day pass without speak, ing to at least one unconverted soul on the subject of salvation by Jesus Christ" Think of that record-one a day for twenty-five years!

s1|Eil ;I:,'!',II eSIH15, 2.I3I1!;, s.-7ss UNANSWERED PRAYERS. Like some schoolmaster, kind in being
 stern, Who hears the children crying o'er
 their slates And calling, Help me. master" yet
 helps not, Since in his silence and refusal lies Their self-deyelopment, so God abides, unheeding many prayers. He is not
 deaf To any cry sent up from earnest
 hearts; He hears and strengthens when He
 must deny. He sees us weeping over life's hard
 sums; But should He dry our tears, and give
 the key, What would it profit us when school
 were done And not one lesson mastered?
 What world Were this if all our prayers were
 granted! Not In famed Pandora's box were such vast
 ills As lie in human hearts. Should our
 desires, Voiced one by one, in prayer, ascend to
 God, And come back as, events, shaped to
 our wish. What chaos would result!
 In my fierce youth I sighed out breath enough to move a
 fleet, Voicing wild prayers to heaven for fam
 cied boons Which were denied; and that denial
 bends My knees to prayers of gratitude each
 day Of my maturer life. Yet from those
 prayers I rose alway regirded for the strife And conscious of new strength. Pray
 on, sad heart! That which thou pleadest for may
 not be given. But in the lofty altitude where souls Who supplicate Gods grace are lifted,
 there Thou shalt find help to bear thy future
 lot, Which is not elsewhere found
