Child Luke H., 1852.
One Of the chief characteristics that
made Jesus perfect child was obedi-
ence. What a child learns he must
largely learn from his parents, and
no one can learn much without obed1-
ence. Oh, how much God could teach
us older children if we would only
obey him implicitly?
Humility is another condition OF
growth. One who thinks that he
| knows it all'' will be ignorant Of it
all. The reason why you do not know
more about God is probably because
you think you know so much about
God.
Christ was a perfect child because
in his love for his earthly father and
mother he never forgot his heavenly
father. We must make all our homes
mere vestibules to the home above.
Christ was a perfect child because
he was in no haste to be a man. He
did not insist on going into business
before he was out of his premier.
The recording angel takes his ac-
count of your Christianity from the
folks at home, and not from your pas
tor or Sunday-school teacher.
Illustration.-"I do not like to beat
my children said a kind father; "the
world will beat them" AS soon as the
children leave home they will meet
with sufficient lashings. All the more
need, however, of whatever sternness
and admonition, yes, and even chas-
tisement, may be necessary in the
home to prepare them for that strict
outer world.
Illustration.-The great Frenchman,
Mirabeau, once said that the best way
to instill liberty into the hearts of the
people is to begin with the infant in
the cradle, and let the first word it
lisps be Washington" If our chill
dren are to be free with the liberty
that alone makes them free, the first
name they lisp must be that of Jesus.
Illustration.-The direction of the
oak tree for hundreds of years is deter
mined by the direction given the slight
branches of the young sapling.

CHAPTER XIX

She stopped little hysterically; and
he laid his hand on her lips. Presently
she lifted it away, and said with eager
wistfulness-
But you loved her, Paul, sister-in
law or not; you never can explain that
away. No no; do not try! You want
ed to marry her before you met me.
I am sure of it. You loved her-you
wanted to marry her once" she re-
peated monotonously
Eyes, yes, 1 wanted to marry her
once. Listen, listen to me Helen! l
was a mere boy, home from an out
skirt station in India, where 1 never
saw woman's face. I was lonely and
sad; She was kind and beautiful, and
did everything in her power to fasci-
nate and ens1ave me. How could I
help falling in the trap? 1 left her in
a state Of melodramatic despair, which
1 now know was only skin deep,
though I believed at the time she had
dealt me life-wound.
Il met you; we were married and
spent six months together abroad. All,
Helen, did not understand until long
afterwards how happy those six
months were, how thoroughly they
had made you part of my life, the
very essence of my content and hap
piness. For 1 was happy; but blind,
conceited dolt that 1 was, 1 attributed
my contented state of being to my own
selfishness and generosity in marrying
you, and accepted as my due your de-
votfon to me. Well, we'll, 1 was pun
ished, cruelty punished for it all. 1
lived to linger over every day, every
hour Of those six months with a yearn-
ing passion, a sickening remorse that
left those lines you see on my face,
and streaking my hair with gray be-
fore had reached the prime Of life.
when we returned she came across
my path again, and necessity compell-
ed her to confide a secret to me. When
I learned by It how shamefully she
had been treated, believed 1 had mis-
judged her cruelty, and was only eager
to offer reparation in my power. I
felt that no sacrifice or eXertion
could make would atone for the ire
parable wrong done her by one Of my
name. and"

The Last Good Night.

AAO A<heS ooou XNlSHGs
We all have known how sweet it is
to fall in sleep away,
And close our heavy eyes to all the
sorrows Of the day;
To feel the softening curtains drawn
before the petty cares
That all day long have vexed our
hearts and clogged our earnest
prayers.
Gladly we welcome our repose, nor
coming darkness heed;
Feeling our WEAKNESS, the more its
sheltering cloud we need;
We part with hope and calmness from
the fast-receding light,
And our best wish to nearest friend is
now,
Goodnight! Goodnight"
Then, o, how sweet when evening falls
and life's short day is DER,
To sink to sleep in Jesus arms, to
wake on heavens shore.
The night Of death cannot appal1, for
Christian spirits know
The grave is but a quiet rest from all
these tolls below.
Fear enters not the blessed heart
which Jesus has possessed,
And when he calls the soul away, it's
only to be blessed.
o, then, when, from the realms of day,
his hand and voice invite,
Hopeful and glad is that farewell
Goodnight, dear love, good
night"

She laughed bitterly, as she waved
the eager interruption aside, with a
gesture of pain.
Never thought of you! All, you
will never know how you filled my life,

suffered! 1 knew you must believe me
dead, and 1 knew the best thing for
your happiness, your peace of mind,
was to let you remain in that belief.
I struggled to keep away frcm

but, when nursing a patient whom
casually heard had lately been in do
nestle service in the neighborhood OF
Colworth, I could not resist the temp

Colworth was married to a Miss Stop

large fortune, that he was very happy
and prosperous and the father of three
beautiful children.

and happiness from my future.

I'VE we're to have sailsd next week,
and as the time drew near a terrible
restlessness came over me. a longing
so intense to breathe tie air you
breathed once more, that I felt I
could never be useful and contented

were gratiied. I appealed to the rev.
erend mother, and she with her usual
goodness gave her consent. 1 arrived
at dusk that-that blessed night, in
tending only to say a prayer for you
and yours at the cross preserving my
memory, and then steal away as I had
come.
"At the station I saw your brother
accidentally, believing him to be you

Federal Industrial Commission.

The space at my command does not
permit even a synopsis Of the testi-
mony adduced from day to day before
the federal industrial commission. A
careful reading of it shows one thing
above all else: That working people
must organize Right in the same ter
ritory they get more pay than unor-
ganized. Many employers testify tina
they have no use for unorganized men.
Evidence also shows that the crea
ton of trades councils is beneficial. 4
trades council is union of unions
and in a sense unions remaining iso-
lated when circumstances permit fed
Grafton are in the position Of unor-
ganized men as compared with orga-
nized 1t was shown by good evil
dence that where unions had formed
trades councils and intelligently Off
cered them, conditions had improved,
wages advanced, strikes had grown
less frequent, and differences with en-
ployers less numerous.

IDOLS In Disgra0A

In the regions of famine and drought
In India last year the famine-stricken
crowds appealed to their gods for aid.
In Aurungabad, in Western India, the
priests were paid for prayers for rain,
to be continued for many days, with
the usual Accomplishments of process
sions and much noise. When days and
weeks passed and no rain fell the peo-
pie of the district were furious against
their gods. In some places they daubed
the idols with mud and blocked the
approaches to the temples with masses
of thorns. In other places they made
pools in the temples, into which they
threw their idols, that they might
shiver in water. as "a penalty for keep
ing the fields dry" THE people sit IN

What Helps Peter Will Help Paul.
The following extract from the call
for the annual convention of the In
ternational 'Longshoremen's associa-
ton. to be held at Buffalo, N. Y, July
II, calls attention to the hardest kind
of facts, and should receive the at
tention of every workingman or wom-
an. After it has received attention,
the conclusions reached should be act
ed upon. Here it is:
Every effort is being made to make
this convention one of the largest and
most thoroughly representative yet
held, so that every branch of the craft
may receive due attention. Were it
not for the fact that the 'longshore-
men had banded together under the
banner of the International Long
shoremen's association, their condi-
lions would not be what they are to-
day, but unity in action resulted in
many enjoying a fair living. But there
are yet many things to be done; many
of our people are yet unorganized. and
it is to their interest to point out to
them the necessity of utilization. The
stronger we are in numbers of locals,
Lue less we Will nave W lCdl lliC oppO-
sition. The International is what the
delegates to the convention make it.
Select as your representatives men Of
good, sound judgment; men who are
conservative in thought, yet ready for
action. Upon the delegates you send
depends the future of our association,
and it is necessary for each local to be
represented by its proper number of
two. At no time would it be more i'm
portant that each local be represented
than at this convention. The vessel
interests are fast combining and merg-
ing into a trust. If it is beneficial for
the carriers it is certainly equally good
for us to complete our trust, which is
more perfect than that of the car.
riers."
What this call impresses upon long
shoremen should and must be i'm
pressed upon every worker, and lived
up to by every worker, If labor is to
get where it ought to be.

Nc. in the spirit OF dictation, but in
order TO be Of service to those that
would like this aid list of monthly
topics IS prepared to guide the
not so certain. That trusts are monop-
olists as we'll goes without saying. One
Of the latest illustrations is the action
Of the tin plate trust, that has started
in to squeeze the sheet mill owners on
plan similar to that used by them in
compelling the manufacturers of tin
mill machinery to enter into contracts
with them for five years. Sheet own
ers are now unable to secure a set OF
new rolls unless they sign an agree
ment not to use the rolls for rolling
plates for timing. In years past, when
organized labor knew less than now,
single unions Or large bodies occa-
sioaally overlooked the fact that they
were not the whole beach, but sim
ply a pebble on it, and not the only
one at that. Trouble followed every
time, and just as regularly lodged with
the organization that had overlooked
that great fact Labor has learned.
1t has prfited by mistakes. New trusts
are pursuing the same course, that
leads to the destruction of all who
persist in travelling it. Trusts want
the earth. They want to dictate hours
and wages. They want to control mar
kets, say what and how much you
may produce; when, where, to whom,
and at what price you are to sell it.
All this will lead to the smashing OF
trusts. I believe that the same genu-
inc American spirit that forced the
abandonment of the "bulldoze" princi-
pie by trades unions will force the
abandonment of that same policy by
trusts. Trusts will certainly go to
smash, unless there is evolved in the
conflict new sort of trust-one that
is wise, just, fair, and therefore benei-
cent 1 think it likely that such a
trust will be evolved. Conditions de-
mand great concentrated movements
in the Industrial field, rather than
smaller, disconnected ventures. Some
men, when they refer to the coming,
righteous trust, call it national con-
troll, governmental or municipal own
ership, state socialism, aud other
names. I don't pretend to know ex-
actly what the beneficent trust will be
like, or what it will be called, but it
Is bound to come-is coming fast. Mu-
nicipal ownership of public utilities is

but in actual practice. That's simply
