Indications of Might.

The request Of the text Is an appro-
pirate exclamation for oil those who
are approaching the gloomy hour Of
temptation. There Is nothing easie
than to be good natured when every
thing pleases, or to be humble when
there is nothing to puff US up, or for
giving when we have not been assail-
ed, or honest when we have no induce
ment to fraud. But you have felt the
grapple Of some temptation. Your ma
ture at some time Quaked and groaned
under the Internal power. You felt
that the devil was after you: you saw
your Christian graces retreating; you
feared that you would fall In the awful
wrestle with sin and be thrown into
the dust. The gloom thickened. The
first indications Of the night were seen.
In all the trembling Of your soul, In all
the Internal suggestions Of satan, In
all the surging up of tumultuous pas
sions and excltements, you felt with
awful emphasis that 1t was toward
evening. In the tempted hour you
need to ask Jesus to abide with you.
You can beat back the monster that
would deyour: you can unhorse the
sin that would ride you down; you can
sharpen the battleax with which you
split the head Of helmeted abomiDa-
ton. Who helped Paul shake the bra
zen gated heart Of Felix2 Who acted
like a good sailor when all the crew
howled In the Mediterranean ship
wreck? Who helped the martyrs to be
firm when one word Of recantation
would have unfastened the withes Of
the stake and put out the kindling fire.?
When the night of the soul came on
and all the denizens of darkness came
riding upon the winds OF perditlon.

WATCHES.

In laying aside watch be sure that
1t rests upon its case.
A watch should be wound up every
day at the same hour.
Avoid putting 1t on a marble slab or
near anything excessively cold.
If suspended the action Of the bal
ance may cause oscillation. which win
interfere with its going.
A sudden change OF temperature con-
tracing the metal. may sometimes
cause the handspring to break.
The cold also coagulates the oil and
the pivots and wheels work less freely.
and affect the regularity of the time-
keeping.
To keep your watch clean take care
that the case fits closely and see that
the watch pocket is kept free from fiufr
which is so often given off by Innings.
Avoid sudden jars and falls, for even
IL 1t does not seem to affect 1t at the
moment, a watch will resent rough
handling by becoming gradually "out
Of order" without apparent cause.
