YER did, All our work is rough-edged;

His last cries from the cross was but the ex-
preston OF the same truth: 1T is finished.
It Is finished" Up to the very end OF His
life He was working, not willing to let even
The last moments OF 1t slip by. Even In the
agony OF His suffering on the cruel tree,
He opened the gates OF tho kingdom OF
heaven to a dying thief, and He made q
new home for His mother. And so all
men who have learned Christs
spirit, and who have begun to serve as
Christ served. desire to finish their work.

Almighty God, the fountain OF all holf-

conduct all thy servants in the way OF peace
and Righteousness. grant US 80 truly to re-

all our actions. so industriously to perform
all our duty that we may never willingly

The work OF our lives to obey thee, the joy
Of our souls to pense thee. the satisfaction
Of all our hopes and the perfection OF all our
desires to dwell with thee in the holiness OF
thine everlasting kingdom. Make us per-
sect In Christ Jesus; out Of his fullness may
We al receive, and rest in him forevermore.
May his passion bo our deliverance; his
wounds be our healing, his cross our redemp-
lion; and his death our life. With his right
sousness may we be clothed; by his Spirit
may We be sanctiisd; in his blood may We
oe cleansed; and to his image may We be

Los. AZ Being Funny.

A hard tonespsfyades most of the
jokes OF the day. Periodicals that
are supposed to be published for
laughing purposes only are given over
to fippant remarks about divorce,
henpecked husbands. mannish wom-
en-, and cooling lovers. In place of
the old-time storiesgthat illustrated
odd phases of American character,
the humor of thesdsy seems to re-
volve about three or four subjects
that were sacred Nh the first place,
and that now have been worn thread
bare. NJ realshumorists have arisen
to counterbalance this downward
drift. If any young writer shows
promise as humorist he succumbs to
the glamour of the epigraln and be-
comes cynical, or proves that he is
merely a specialist" and can do no
more than hammer away on one note.
To be genuine, numor must be
broad and kindly. 1t must acknowl-
edge no literary rules and must not
know the meaning OF fippancy. AS
matters stand now, Mark Twain is the
last of the real American humorists.

Prayer for Repentance - Personal
Knowledge OF God-Pursuit of Hope.
Why they have never known the way before
Why hundreds stand outside Thy mercys

Wouldst lead them now!
Why In the hard and thorny way they press
Unloved, uncontrolled, with none to bless.
In living death, know not; but spare Thou.
And lead them now!
Saviour, be pitiful; their hell Is here;
Dull parched sorrow that can shed no tear
Is theirs. They need indeed no further loss,
They bear their cross!
Eternal death to live away from Thee,
Eternal loss apart from Thee to be;
Eternal gain to have in Thee some part
To know Thou art!
Dawn for us here, thou bright undying day.
30 In no dark and sudden-endiny way
Life's timorous steps shall falter, but
straight on
Where Christ is gone
70 wake and know the new life throbblng,
Doubt and disquietudo are left behind,
Eyes open d, ears attuned to heavenly sound,
is Heaven found.

"Let me give you pointer in put.
ting away your room stoves for the
summer" said an accommodating
stove man. "In the great majority of
cases people pack away their small
stoves in their cellars for the summer.
Cellars are more or less damp, and the
CRATES and stove lining rust and in
some cases actually consume them
selves with rust, for one summer in q
damp cellar does stove more harm
that its steady uss during the winter
season. In such cases never clean
out the stove. A good quality of
ashes in the stove is the best possible
preservative of the inside of the stove.
The ashes and cinders absorb the
moisture which otherwise would at
tack the CRATE and other Innings. In
the same way 1t is better that the bed
of cinders in the furnaces should be
kept in them during the summer.
Careful housekeepers are right in
most things, that when packed away
for the summer they should be clean.
This rule, however, does not work
we'll in the case of stoves and furnaces.
This is not theory, but the result of
many years experience, and when
once observed will always be followed.
It will be found. that it will pay. >

seiviug the Gospel? We have the teachings
Of learned men-Dut that Is only testimony;

experiences of life in Christ, and are sub
