No one can work we'll that does not
rest well. nor work from the right mo-
tives that does not rest from the right
motives
Do not crowd the Lord out of the
Lords day by leaving no time to be
alone with him.
1t is not honoring Gods day to for
get God. He will not heed the closed
doors, if the counters in our hearts
are kept busy.
We have not begun to honor the
Sabbath till we begin TO long for it.
Whoever honors the Bible will honor
oOu udy, IL Is the only guide DOCK
of the day.
The Sabbath was made for man. and
not man for the Sabbath. but it was
made for man, and SO man cannot take
it or let it alone as he pleases.
There are three rules for the Sab
bath: Worship God; rest your body;
do nothing to keep anyone else from
worshiping God or resting his body.
Illustration-It has been found by
scientific measurements of strength
that nights rest does not quite re-
store the waste of the body caused by
the days work. With each Gay we
overdraw the bank account of our
strength, till Saturday finds us heavily
in debt to nature. One days rest in
seven precisely remedies this defect,
and makes up the loss. Thus the Sab
bath law has been found by scientists
written in the very structure Of our
bodies.

The Living God"

How many times We find this ex-
preston in the Holy Scriptures, And
yet it is just this very thing which we
are practically prone to lose sight Of
We know it is written, the living
God, We may speak about Him as the
living God. but in our daily life there
is scarcely anything we practically so
much lose sight of as the fact that God
is the living God. and He is now what
ever He was three thousand or four
thousand years since; that He has the
same sovereign power, the same saw
ing love toward those who love and
serve Him as ever He had. and that He
will do for them what He did for those
two thousand, three thousand. four
thousand years ago, simply because He
is the living God. the unchanging One,
the same as He ever was. How, there
fore, we should cOnfide in Him. and in
our darkest moments and in our great
est trials and in our heaviest diff
culties and Affections should never lose
sight Of the fact that He is still the
living God and ever will be the living
od.-GeOrge Muller.

Out of Dur BIunlers

We make mistakes, or what We cali
such. The nature that could fall into
such mistakes exactly needs, and in the
goodness of the dear God is given. the
living of it out. And in the pure and
patient living of it out We come to find
that we have fallen, not into hopeless
confusion Of our own wild, ignorant
making, but that the finger of God has
been at work among our lives. and
that the emerging is into His blessed
order; that He is forever making up
for us our own misdoings; that He
makes them up beforehand, that He
evermore restoreth our souls.-A. ID. T.

Which Ones Are Blessing to Mankind
and which the Reverse.
An insect census has just been taken
on purely scientific lines with a view to
determine as far as it is possible which
insects are a boon and a blessing to
mankind, and which are the reverse,
says the London Mail Although the
statistics quite upset the old idea that
all insects and lower animals were
created solely for mans benefit. yet il
is conclusively proved that while some
insects are rightly termed pests.
there are others that render us con-
siderable service, and fortunately for
our crops and vegetation the latter are
in the majority. According to the cen

A Good PRAYER.

Wendell Phillips said: "At the out
set of life l asked God that whenever
thing was wrong it might have no
power of temptation over me, and that
whenever a thing was right it might
take no courage to do it, And from
that day to this. whenever | have
known thing to be wrong, it has been
no temptation; and whenever | have
known a thing to be right, it has taken
no courage to do it," This prayer is
worthy TO be made by every soul; for
such a prayer is the secret of all in
tegrity, and the answer to it is in
tegrity itself

crowding of the programs. There are
too many speakers, and no allowance
is made for tardy audiences, for unex-
pected business, and for the inevitable,
although disgraceful. overstepping CT
time by certain speakers. Every pro-
gram should contain blank "emergen-
cy spaces"
See that your speakers understand
definitely and positively their limita-
tions as to time. Put it in writing and
repeat it. If a speaker overruns his
time, stop him politely, but with de-
cision. He is the offender and not you.
If you go to a Christian Endeavor
convention merely to get pleasure, you
will get none; but if you go to fit your
self for better service. you will get that
and the abundant pleasure, too.

Charming Custom.

The surroundings of a home should
be made lovely and attractive to those
who dwell there If there be paths de-
signed for comforting strolls, every
step should be pleasing. A charming
custom is that of planting snowdrops
and crocuses singly and scattered
through the grass Of lawn, from
which they peep in the early spring.
1t should not be regularly planted, like
a calico print, but scattered in natural
prOfuSion.

religious live among the Mormons was
treated upon. The elder said: IF the
mirror reflects the image before it, SO
truely does the social and religious life
of q people reflect their inner life.
They are very much as other people;
live as their religion advocates in the
spirit of love; are lovers of legitimate
pleasure: develop the faculties within
man; encourage the requirement Of
the arts and sciences, music and fine
arts. Among their social customs may
be mentioned old Folks Day. when
those over 20 years old are entertained
each year free of all expense in q
manner that makes them look forward
to that day as among the most memoir
able of the year.
Utah stands third in education
among the states of the American un-
ion. There are men of science; there
are poets and artists of rare gifts
among the Mormons; their temperance;
their social purity; habits Of industry
tend to make them a people respected
for their commercial standing, and
there is coming a change that will yet
place them in their proper light be-
fore the world.
Their care of the poor; their settling
difficulties by arbitration: their GUS
tom of teaching their young to live,
not profess, is making a community of
citizens worthy of the proud name
they bear-men and women of renown.
Their is purity in their home, love in
their lives and as such they invite the
world to partake of the truth that has
made them free, indeed"
