WHY DO WE HESITATE!

TRANCE reluctance comes over
when they try to talk about
ln', son1 and its relation to God. 1t
L eoIt alike by the converted and I'M
nrorted persons. Very often the
girl whose heart is running over
80 ~ fun and mirth, and whose
.ocb sparkles with wit and humor,
deep in her consciousness the
Ling that she is unsatisfed, that
% wants something better, purer,
a bioher. She wishes that the
r,ristian woman who is talking with
Sor would ask her a question, would
20 her a hint, would lead the con-
9orsation to the subject of personal
.,ligion. The other has no thought
# the kind. She has even a faint,
;ndefnable dread that any effort on
bar mart would be received coldly, or
made occasion of ridicule.
So the opportunity passes. The
s,nIs have been within speaking dis
t.rce but have failed to communi-
o.+a with each other. Each goes on
j. vav. The friend of Christ who
MIGHT have won a soul to him, has
boan silent. afraid, ashamed. What
wonder if to that too faithless friend
there come the sad experience that
the Beloved has withdrawn himself,
and IS gone that, seeking the Spirit,
finds him not, and calling, there re
turns no answer! Can there be per
feet serenity, and the full sense of
communion with God to one who re-
fuses or neglects so important a
dutv2-Sel.

FAITH IN MEN

It is of the most vital Importance
70 our holiness as we'll as to our com
fort that We retain our confidence in
our feIlow-men. He who loses his
faith in man will not long retain his
trust in God. There can perhaps be
no severer temptation, as there can
be no sorer sorrow, than to find that
a friend has been unfaithful to you !;
but it would be terrible beyond
measure to cease to have confidence
in friendship. Still trust your other
friends as before. 1t was not what
was best in your friend that betrayed
YOU. You do not know how sorely
he was tempted. In his heart he
may be loyal to you still. Donot be
afraid to walk in the fields, even
though you have discovered that
snakes sometimes run in the grass

A BIRD TALK.

There is a r~eassuring Bird Talk"
by John Burroughs in a recent
ST. Nicholas. One Of the good signs
of the times, he says, is the interest
our young people are taking in the
birds, and the numerous clubs and
societies that are being formed
throughout the country for bird pro-
lection and cultivation. In my
youth but little was heard about the
birds. They looked upon as of
little account. Many of them rel
treated as the farmers natural enc
mics. Crows and all kinds of hawks
and owls were destroyed whenever
chance offered. I knew a farmer
who every summer caught and killed
all the red-tailed hawks he could.
He stood up poles in his meadows,
upon the tops of which he would set
steel-straps. The hawks, looking
for meadow-mice, would alight upon
them and be caught. The farmer
was thus staying his S friends, as
these large hawks live almost en-
tirely upon mice and vermin. The
red-tail, or hen-hawk, is very wary
of a man with a gun, but he has not
yet learned of the danger that turks
in a steel-trap on the top of a pole.
If a strict account could be kept
with u crows and hawks for a
year, it would be found at the end
of that time that most of them had
a balance to their credit. That is,
they do US more good than injury.
A few of them. like the fish crow
and the sharp-shinned hawk, Coop
er's-hawk and the duck-hawk, are
destructive to the birds and wild
fowls; but the others live mainly
upon insects and vermin.

FAMILY PRAYER.

Daily devotional services in the
home tend to familiarize the chill
dren with religion. 1t is to them a
part Of their family life. The do
nestle affections and memories are
insenSibly mingled with religious
emotions. The son who is brought
up in such an atmosphere will feel a
golden chain about his spirit where
ever he may go in the world, hold
ing him to the best things. He may
wander, but this hallowed influence
will not fOrsake him. Memories of
home and religion are inseparably
united in his mind. Many a way
ward son has been brought back to
the paths of virtue and religion by
the sacred memories Of the family
altar, and thousands of others have
been kept from wandering by the
same holy infuence.-Christian Ad-

A o s~PECULATOR.

A little daughter of eX-COngress-
man Cable of Illinois has the max
ing of a great f~inancier in her. The
Washington Post tells this story
about her.
One day her father called her to
him. MY dear" he said, "a man
this morning offered papa this room
full of gold if 1 would sell little
brother. Now that means gold
enough to fill this room from wall to
wall and from floor to ceiling. If I
sell little brother for that sum I
shall be able to buy you everything
in the world you want. Shall I sell
him?"
"No, papa" answered the child,
promptly and then, before her de-
lighted father could kiss her for ex-
pressing so much unselish affection,
she went n keep him till he's
bigger. He'll be worth more then"

PRETTY WELL WORN OUT.

A public school teacher in a New
Jersey town was once asked where
she intended to spend an approaching
vacation.
She replied that it was such an
effort to collect her things and pack
her trunk that she was doubtful
whether she should leave town.
When surprise was expressed at this,
she replied:
"Well, the truth is, Ihave strength
enough to do either, but not both, Of
two things: I can get ready and not
go, or I can go and not get ready !"
