HOW NOT TO GROW WEARY.

The way to enjoy Christian SER
vice and not tire of it is to be dill,
gent in spirit. The hard workers
never become weary in we'll doing.
The more we do for Christ the more
eager we become in his service. We
tire most when we do the least. The
idlers are the weary ones. Those
who do the most enjoy it best, and
complain the least. Those who keep
growing in grace never weary of the
race. Faithfulness in prayer and
diligence in the study of God g
Word make the soul proof against
weariness IN Gods service.
Redoubled diligence is the remedy
for encouragement. The trouble
with discouraged ones is that they
always feel like quitting, when TO
quit is the worst thing they can do.
Encouragement let's go the moment
that man sets his face against it
with grim determination not to give
up, but to press forward with re-
newed diligence.
There is no misery like the misery
of spiritual dependency of man
who has been in close touch with
God and in the front ranks of hope
and heavenly aspiration, and godly
influence among men. To know
how to avoid such a state or how to
escape from it is a matter of grave i'm
portance. The outcome involves the
honor of God and the destiny of a
man.-Evangelical Messenger.

ONE KIND OF A BOY.

''Watch that boy, now,' said Phil.
(Which boy?" said Ned.
"That boy who was at play with
US on the sand. His name is Will.
He knows how to look out for him
self, doesn't he?"
Phil and Ned, with their parents,
had been spending some time at the
seaside. Will was a boy who had
come to pass the evening in the
parlOr of the boarding house. Here
it was that Phil and Ned saw Will
taking a great deal of pains TO find a
good place.
First, he had noticed large book
full of pictures on the table. After
looking at it for few moments, he
had hunted out a large easy chair,
and was tugging at it to get it to the
table.
There ! He's got it squared round
just to suit him." laughed Ned.
"And-weII, if I ever. If he isn't
putting a footstool before it. sup,
pose he's all ready to enjoy it.
1t was plain that Will was. With
d pleased look he gazed around the
room until he caught sight of a lady
who was standing. He darted to-
ward her, and said:
Come, mamma, 1 have a nice
place for you"
He led her to the chair and settled
the stool at her feet as she sat down.
Phil and Ned looked little fool
lsh. Presently Phil sprang out of
his chair as his mother came near.
Mamma, take my chair, he said.
Ned stepped quickly to pick up a
handkerchief which a lady had drop
ped and returned it with a bow.
They are wise boys who profit by
a graceful lesson given by a true
gentleman.-The Watchman.

SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY"


One spoke the other day of the
surprises of a great sorrow which
had just been passed through. 1t
was all surprises-for it was the first
sorrow but strangest of all was the
surprise of grace which came to
brighten the darkness, and to fill the
loneliness with love. Some of it
came through human affection
friends had brought wondrous
warmth and tenderness. 81 never
knew / had so many friends until
my bereavement came" Some of
it came through words of divine
comfort which had been read or
heard a hundred times before, but
which now, in the darkness, for the
first time revealed their precious
meaning. But besides these, and
most wonderful of all, there came a
strange blessing of heavenly peace,
which seemed to fill the bereft hearts
as with an unseen presence of love,
pouring itself through all the home
as a holy fragrance. Thus it is that
they who wait on the Lord have
their strength renewed in every
need, in every sorrow.-J. R. Mil
ler, D. D.
The progressive farmer., 1901-08-13
OPPORTUNITY.

Alas what reason have we to
think any other station in the uni
verse more sanctifying than our
own? There is none, so far as we
can tell, under the more immediate
touch of God, none whence sublimer
deeps are open to alteration, none
murmuring with the whisper of
more thrilling affections, or ennobled
as the theater of more glorious
duties. Those to whom the earth is
not consecrated will find their heaven
profane.-James Martineau.
