Relief I'm India.

Relief works have been established
in every part of the famine districts in
India, and the last statement showed
that $4,000 were in receipt of Official
relief. The extent of this relief work
is so vast that it is difficult 10 realize.
but owing to the peculiar nature OF
the Hindoo there are probably mil
lions that will not be reached. The
Hindoo, being fatalist, will go to no
pains to avoid contagion. ard will
calmly lie down to die rather than
partake of unfamiliar food. Under
such conditions even the splendGly
organized relief work OF the govern
ment is shorn of much of its effective
ness and private charity is also him
dered.

WHEN BABY PRAYs.

When baby in her crib at night
Enfolds her little hands to pray
Dear little hands so soft and white
listen while the sweet lips say,
"Now lay me down to s'eep,
pray the Lord my soul to teep;"
And listening years are backward rolled /;
The past is as a tale untold.
And standing by my mother mild
Dear mother with Your hair Of white
Again am a little child,
And say again, as yester night.
eff s'ould die before watc,
pay the Lord MY soul to tate :"
And half il seems a baby's plea
The olden faith brings bacl, to me-
All me know my faith is but
a phantom Of the long ago,
Yet when my babe, with eyelids shut,
Repeats the words I used to know:
"Now 'ay me down to s'ccp,
pay the Lord my soul to teep"--
Somcway, someway the world doubts flee;
The old sweet faith comes back to me.
II comes again, the old, sweet faith
II is my own, it is my own,
And doubt has fed, the gloomy wrath,
Before baby's words alone
eff sould die before waite,
pay the Lord my soul TO tate"
So for baby's lisping plea
My thanks, dear Lord, my thanks TO thee
