Donald wouldn't.

Tho Scotch conscience is not swerved
from its purpose by the service of great
men. A Canadian paper relates that dur
ing the campaign known as the north.
west rebellion the NinctiGth regiment of
Canadian militia had in it Il Scot named
Donald Grant an old soldier Of tho British
army who, although not II barber by trade,
could shave people well and dress their
hair
There was no other barber and General
Middleton, the commander of the little
army, soon found out Donalds accom-
plishment and availed himself Of it, for
tho officers wero getting shockingly
bearded.
The following Sunday Lord Minto (then
Viscount Melgund) arrived in camp and,
being in great need Of a shave and intend.
ing to attend divine worship in the camp,
was told by General Middleton Of Donald.
His lurdship at once sent for tho Scot,
who came and saluted.
II have heard that you are able to shave
and dress the hair, Grant," he said.
AYE, y'r hardship" answered Donald.
"Will you please shave Inc and trim my
hair in time for church,"
'Deed III no, said Donald with great
positiveness.
"And why notP" demanded the viscount
angrily.
Its no the thing" answered the SOL
dier, for Scotchman to work on the
Sawbath Ma mithcr wad never let Inc

The viscount apologzed and went to
the service with his bristles.

The Child and Cod.

Meet tho question, ''Does God exists"
Iy the counter question, "What do. you
understand by aod2" and thus lead the
child to description of its childlike views,
which will give you chance to point out
the true and to discard the false.
A little chap Of scarcely 3 years was
once quite shocked when he heard that the
air above us grew thinner and thinner and
that at last there was no air left. No one
can breathe there, and VIC should, II carried
UP, Immediately die. The source Of his
anxiety became apparent when with sup.
pressed tears he exclaimed ie4a state OF
tension, "But, then, the good Nnrd must
die?" "No, my boy" I said, "the good
Lord cannot die; he has not body as we
have, he has no lungs and need not breathe
In order to exist. His existence does not
depend on q body like ours. He Is not an
individual as you are and as I am. Ii he
were, he would not be God. He is not a
man. He Is God" The child felt greatly
relieved, and if helped him to come step
nearer to the truth. " "a
Such occasional explanations should as
rule come only in response to questions,
for then and then alone will they be ap-
prooiated. Religious instruction should
consist mainly in setting the child's mind
to thinking and solving the problems that
the child perccives himself. He will ask,
what does God want us to do?" which
means for adult people, "What significance
does the God idea possess In human lifoS"
And when the child answers this question
In the child's language, that God wants
us to be good" ho will naturally come to
tho definition that God is all that prompts
