Christian Life Column.
A SAD PICTURE.

The exposure by the police of a
series of thefts by a band of little
bovs of Raleigh calls for serious and
practical thought on the part of the
christian people of the whole State.
That little boys not ten years old
have been able to practice for some
time a system of thieving, which
would call for the skill of experienced
criminals is a matter not only of
wonder but of horror. The same
thing, we have no doubt, is being
done in many of III towns. This
form of youthful iniquity is the re-
suit Of several things: () Lack of
parental care and oversight. Some
parents seem to act with reference
TO their children as if there we're no
such thing as morality and religion.
~ Idleness. The old line, For
Satan finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do" never contained
more truth than at the present time.
(0 Allowing children to u abroad.
both by day and night. Some
parents do not know more than a few
hours in the twenty-four, where
their boys and girls are. They care
fully look after the horses, cows, and
dogs, seeing that they are in their
proper places. But many children
are allowed to run wild. C4) Care
lessness in sending their children to
Church and Sunday-school, and
ignoring the value of proper COM
partnership.
These are some of the causes of
youthful iniquity. Inremoving them
there is great work to be done by
our Christian people. Missionary
work for the boys and girls is n of
the pressing needs of the day.
When will the people of our State
see that the establishment of a Re
fOrmatory is an absolute necessity?
Surely they cannot remain blind
much longer to the situation. The
salvation of our State is bound up in
the salvation of our boys and girls

RANDOM PRAYERS.

There is a need of d~efiniteness in
our prayers. One observes this in
the prayer meeting, where often the
petitions cover a wide range of
topics, but miss the particular wants
of the hour, the place, and the peO-
pie assembled. And most of US know
that in our private prayers, our
tranquil closet seasons, we must
occasionally arrest ourselves in the
midst of unconsidered, vague, and,
so to speak, random words. Prayer
Is not only a spiritual eXerCiSe-it is
an intellectual effort, and requires
thought and care, precisely as does
any other mental and physical en-
deavOr. What to say and how to
say it are here as important as in
any other field where we converse,
prefer request, or express gratitude.
But going a step further, how
strange it seems that we fOregO the
privilege of telling our Father what
we desire, putting into loose phrases
of no special meaning hopes and
aims, abiding in general terms to
the conversion of our families and
friends and the reviving of the
Church, as though the end in ques-
ton would be a happy circumstance,
vet carrying no one person or group
of persons on Our hearts to the
mere seat. This, too, in the face of
u own belief in Gods individual
care OF and for US, and of his wi
gracious declaration to every n Of
his children: Il have called thee
by thy name, thou art mine The
pages of Scripture are strewn with
promises to the man who prays, with
narratives of direct answers to inn
Fortunate and believing prayers, and
Vet we, not merely because Of little
taith. but aften through the merest
u~eedleSsness and lack of thought, go
groping on, without seeking divine
strength in any earnest way, with
cut asking specifically for the thing
we yearn to have, yet do not ask for
.Ncept in a random and half-hearted
manner.-Mrs. NJ. E. Sangster.

cred life essayedI their fight from it.
The Woodpecker family came
back this summer, too, and after in
speeding their old home, which had
been occupied by the blue-birds, con-
cluded to build again. There was a
great time looking up a desirable
locality. Their rat-a-tat-tat was
heard from morning till night on
the trunks of the apple trees. At
last a site was selected low down on
the trunk of an aged greening. The
wood was sufficiently rotten, and l
suppose there was a good supply Of
borers. Then the chips flew and the
house took shape, and at last Mrs.
Woodpecker was sitting on four
round, shiny, white eggs away in the
heart of the tree. I was a great adj
mlrer of this pair, being both inter
ested in, their carpenter work and
amused at their antics. I wondered if
the brilliant scarlet of their topknOts
was in any way the result of blood
rushing to their heads after hanging
half an hour by their feet on the
under side of a b1 anch.
A pretty little red-eyed vireo hung
a swinging nest from the lowest
fringe of a russell tree, and laid
therein three long, white egss, deco
rated with a few black periods. Sad
to relate, a great J clumsy cow-bird
mistOok this for q home foundlings,
and laid a great brown-speckled egg
among the delicate ones of the vireO.
At its first discovery there was great
CONSERVATION; but Mrs. Vireo at
length tooki it to her motherly heart,
and when the foSter-child was born
she toiled for it harder than for all
three of her own children, so glut-
tonous was the fOundling.
High,up in the swinging limbs of
an elm which shood in one corner of
the orchard, and was the only tree
therein that did not bear fruit swayed
in the wind the home of a Baltimore
oriOle. 1t seemed as if this beauti-
full bird, the belle of Orchardville,
knew that the elm was for ornament
alone, and selected it as appropriate
to himself. Or perhaps it was the
swaying of the branches and the
murmur of the breezes she loved. At
any rate, there il hung, far up out of
the reach of anything that creeps on
the earth, a huge ball of grass and
strings, suspended from the slender
est twig, three pale-b blue eggs splashed
with irregular ink-drops, within. No
more beautiful object exists in all
the bird kingdom than this great
golden fellow, with velvety black
wings, fitting across the vision like
a ball of lightning or the glimpse of
a rainbow.
How pleasant to lie on ones back
on the cool grass, and gaze up into
the shady green canopy of the old
orchard boughs, watching the COM
ings and goings, the joys and sor-
rows, of the bird-life above us
Listen to the varied sweetness of
their tones. How interesting to
study and learn their habits, and
discover the cuzy little nests with
their beautiful eggs in the green
foliage! What boy has not known
the delight? Don't rob the nests to
make a collection. Soon the winter
will come and the orchard limbs be
bare and the songsters gone. Would
you have it always like this by de-
stroying the birds? No; learn to
love them as l have by my summer
in Orchardville .-Charles E. Jenney
