Help One Another.

Let us help one another. This little
sentence should be written on every
heart, stamped on every memory. 1t
should be the golden rule practiced not
only in every household, but through
out the world. BY helping one
another, we not only remove thorns
from the pathway and anxiety from
the mind, but we feel a sense of pleas
ure in our hearts, knowing that we are
doing duty to fellow creature. A
helping hand or an encouraging word
is no loss to us, yet it is benefit to
others. Who has not felt the power
of this little sentence? Who has not
needed the encouragement and care of
a kind friend? How soothing when
perplexed with some task that is mys-
terious and burdensome, to feel gen
tie hand on your shoulder and hear a
voice whispering: DO not feel dis
couraged-I see your trouble-let me
help you" What strength is inspired -
what hope created-what sweet graft
tude is felt, and the great difficulty is
dissolved as dew beneath the sun
shine! Let us help one another by en-
deavoring TO strengthen and encourage
the weak, and lifting the burden Of
care from the weary and oppressed;
that life may glide smoothly on, and
the fount of bitterness yield sweet wa
tiers, and he whose willing hand is ever
ready to aid us will reward our humble
endeavor, and every good deed will be
as bread cast upon the waters, to re-
turn after many days." if not to us, to
those we iove.-Angelus.

A Comedy of Errors.

There was an accident on a Portland
street the other day, and this is how
it happened: A tramp walking up the
street saw benevolent looking wheel
man riding down and started to head
him off. Just then a dog on the same
side of the street noticed a cat on the
opposite side and made for it. The
dog didn't notice the tramp, and the
wheelman took no account of the dog.
The result was that the dog went be-
tween the legs of the tramp and rolled
that individual over on his back. The
wheelman struck dog and tramp and
took header over them. The wheel
man struck frantically at the dog and
his blow landed on the nose of the
tramp, while the dog made an assault
on the tramp, and missing him, made
life exciting for the wheelman At last
they untangled themselves, and the
tramp and the wheelman trailed bad
language, one up and one down the
street, while the dog stood and growled
at both. Meanwhile the cat emerged
from a hole in the lumber pile where
she had taken refuge and watched the
three with evident nterest.-Lewiston

"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 ne 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
God!-George Muller.

Your State Convention.

See that for weeks before the con-
vention something is said about it in
your society at every meeting-say, by
the information committee.
The life of the convention is born of
the prayers before the convention.
You can help the convention greatly
by procuring the insertion of items
concerning it in your local papers.
Wear your local society badge at
the convention. If you have none,
make one.
At the convention, begin by being
sociaDIe. Speak cordially to strangers
of your own sex. Go more than half
way.
1t will solve every one of the prob
lens of the modest state finances, if
before leaving for the convention. you
get your society to appropriate small
sum for The state union expenses, and
at the convention hand it to the treas
urer.
Take off your gloves. Anything that
hinders applause has no place in an
Endeavor convention.
Carry a notebook. 1t is well to
have many blank pages in the conven-
ton program. The convention will be
twice as valuable to you-to say moth
ing of others-lf you will report it.
Get acquainted with your state Of
ficers. and cheer them with word of
praise.
Most conventions are hurt by over
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.

See that your speakers understand

and the abundant pleasure, too.
Tie Little nnfies.

Do not try to do a great thing; you
may waste all your life waiting for
the opportunity, which may never
come But since little things are al
ways claiming your attention, do them
as they come, from great motive, for
the glory of God. to win his smile and
approval, and to do good to men. 1t
is harder to plod on in obscurity, act
ing thus, than to stand on the high
places OF the field, within the view Of
all, and to do deeds of valor at which
rival armies stand still to gaze. To
fulfill faithfully the duties of your sta
ton, to use to the uttermost the gifts
of your ministry; to bear chatting an
noyances and trivial irritations as mar
tyrs bore the pillory and the stake;
to find the one noble trait in people
that try to modest you; to put the kind
est of construction on unkind acts and
words; to love with the love of God
even the unthankful and evil; to be
content to be a fountain in the midst
of wild valley of stones, nourishing
few lichens and wild flowers, or now
and again a thirsty sheep; and to dc
this always, and not for the praise of
man, but for the sake of God-this
makes a great life.-Rev. +. B. Meyer.

that nights rest does not quite re-

the days work. With each day we
overdraw the bank account of our

The Daughters of the American Rev
olution are TO have a special day at
the Greater America Exposition at
Omaha. The invitation was extended
the society at its annual meeting in
Washington last February, and was
unanimously accepted. The Omaha
chapter has charge of arrangements.
The date will be announced in a few
days, and much interest is being man
ifested among the chapters of the east
where the membership is largest.
The management has set aside one
OF the handsomest and most commo-
dious buildings on the grounds for use
as fraternity headquarters. 1t is the
Nebraska building. which last year cost
the state nearly $4,000. Every known
fraternity will be invited to establish
headquarters therein. The building
will be attractively furnished and
cared for by the exposition, and each
fraternity will be allowed free repre-
sentation therein, with free admission
Tor its representatives.

A Good PRAYER.

Wendell Phillips said: AT the out

a thing was wrong it might have no
power of temptation over me, and that
whenever thing was right it might
take no courage to do it. And from
that day to this, whenever l have
known thing to be wrong, it has been
no temptation; and whenever l have
known 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
