How to Cultivate Reverence.

There are two elements in reverence,
love and awe. We love God because
He is our Father; we fear God because
of His majesty and holiness. To rever-
ence Him as we ought we must have a
child's affection and sense of the diff
ference between our weakness. sin and
Ignorance and His infinite power, wis
dom and purity. The irre1erent man
lis ignorant both of God and of himself.
! 1t must be confessed that it is in many
ways an age of little reverence. So
much that men held sacred has been
called In question. SO confidently have
the overturners of accepted beliefs spo-
ken their own belief that Christianity
has been overturned, so thoroughly has
the crust Of ancient prejudice and cb-
Iservance been broken up that in some
quarters it seems as If the fear of God
and the respect for man alike have de-
parted from the earth. Some of US
who would fain be reverent find our
selves caught in eddies of unbelief
from which it is difficult to escape. We
feel, as all right thinning men must
feel, that we must approach God with
humility, but we know not how to cul-
ltivate in ourselves that spirit of rever-
Ience which we know is betting.

All ccupations and avenues OF endeavor
are overcrowded to the indolent, the
nerveless and the incompetent. There is
no room anywhere for lazy man with
out sufficient ambition to enable b m 10

who can produce results, the leader, the
aggressive man, and the man who has a
purpose.
No field is overcrowded for the orig
inal man who can think for himself and
is no. afraid of hard work. The young
men who are crying that there is no
chance, that the trusts have ruined their
opportunities, would not succeed any
where.
The cry of overcrowded positions is a

The Victory.

God will not be hurried. The build
ing of Christlike character is not
work for day. Experience cannot be
acquired without experiment. 1t is not
innocence God has in view for us, but
growth by overcoming. Patience must
have her perfect work. Triumph now
would be premature and petty, but the
way of faith and patience is the way
that leads to victory. which shall be
part and parcel of the final glorious tri-
umph of the Son of Man.--Isaac o.

The wopaerfur Simplicity.

That Jesus message is so great and
so powerful lies In the fact that it is
so simple and, on the other hand, so
rich: so simple as TO be exhausted in
each of the leading thoughts He utter
ed; so rich that every one of these
thoughts seems to be inexhaustible
and the full meaning of the sayings
and parallels beyond our reach. But,
more than that. He Himself stands be-
hind everything that He said.-Adolpb

During the middle ages the whole
Christmas season was given up to rev.
els and jollity, in which eating and
drinking had a prominent part The
Saxon instinct of our English ancestors
led them to make of every holiday an
occasion for feasting. Plenty to eat
and to drink was their idea OF festi-
val, no matter how sacred might be its
associations. On Christmas they not
only lined their stomachs with good
capon, as did Shakespeare's justice,
but stuffed themselves with all sorts of
rich, nourishing food and strongly com
pounded puddings and pies.

All of One Piece.

Our religious life is all of one piece.
We ought not TO delude ourselves with
the notion that we are serving God
when we are at the same time dealing
unfairly with our fellow men or indulg-

concerning them. These two things are
not consistent with each other. If we
desire to show that we are sincere
Christians. we must do it by upright
character and a meek and gentle at
titude toward all men.-Nashville Chris

HOW TO CARVE A TURKEY
The Art Made Plain For the Pres
ident of the Feast.

A0tat Va tat Et1.s
- UST0M has made 1t usual here
abouts to eat turkey for our
~ Christmas dinner, and accord
ingiy the festive bird win
grace many a table. But it Is not ev-
erybody who knows how to carve a
turkey. and the hints given here may
help many a bewildered man to so de-
mean himself that the ordeal may not
disgrace him In the eyes of the wife of
his bosom, as well as of those guests
who may be present at his board.
Have the turkey resting upon his
back Put the two tined fork In about
an inch il front of the peak of the
breastbone, where IT win sink into a
hollow formed by the peculiar con-
formation of the breastbone. The bird
is then held firmly while the carving
is being done.
The first thing to do is to take off the
legs at the second joint. Cut down
alongside the leg and bear outward a
little. with the knife set well In.
The knife is inserted above the leg
and after making an incision 1t is
pressed outward The second joint
then parts easily from the body. Art
er both legs are removed In this man
ner the wings should be cut of. the
knife being used on practically the
same principle as that employed in re-
moving the legs.
The next point for the skillful carver
is to separate the ''drumstick," or first
joint. from the rest of the leg. This Is
done by fixing the fork in the second
joint of the turkey. Then an incision
is made at the joint. and the end of
the leg is then pressed down with the
knife.
The breast of white meat Is now at
tackled. The fork is again placed over
the hreastbone in the original position,
and slices are removed from the breast
The slicing should commence near the
peak of the breastbone, the cuts being
taken thinly. the knife held horizontal
ly and the cuts extending downward
toward the wings. After the meat has
been taken from both sides of the tur-
keys breast In this fashion the knife
Is inserted transversely behind the lit
tie projection on the breast between
the peak and the neck. This is formed
by the "wishbone." or merry thought
The knife slips easily between this and
the breastbone. so that the .'wishbone"
is easily removed. carrying with 1t a
liberal portion of white meat. The re-
moval OF the "wishbone" makes a con
venient opening into the interior OF the
turkey. through which spoon may be
inserted for the removal of the tasty
dressing.
Nothing now remains but the car
cass of the turkey, and the only task is
to disjoint IL. This is done by first re
moving the breastbone. By means of
the fork the peak of the bone is raised
and swung over toward the neck, dis
jointing it near the base of the latter.
The neck. IL desired. can be removed,
leaving only one more portion of the
bird to be dealt with. This is the back
bone.
The backbone is broken about three
inches above the tail, and there you
are. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of your tur-
key is now complete.

l Tor1o.-7Numbering our days.-Ps &c.
The Ninetieth Psalm was written by
Moses. 1t is the oldest poetical seiec-
ton in sacred literature. The sublimi-
ity of its language and the solemnity
of its teachings have always been ad-
mlred. In majestic tone it sets forth
the eternity of God and. contrasted
with it, the frailty of man and the
Ibrevity of human life. Before the
mountains were brought forth or ere
Thou hadst formed the earth and the
world even from everlasting TO ever
lasting Thou art God" This of God,
but of man: Our days are passed
away in Thy wrath. We spend our
years as tale that is told. The days
of our years are threescore years and
ten, and. if by reason of strength they
he fourscore years. yet is their strength
labor and serroy, for it is soon cut off,
and we fly away"

life suggested to the psalmist the pray
err to God, $50 teach us to number our
days that we may apply our hearts I'M
to wisdom Well may we all bear in
constant remembrance the important
fact that life is short and that we may,
we should. pray to God to teach us to
number our days. Man often fails to
appreciate the brevity and uncertainty
of life. He lives as if he were always
to live amid his present surroundings.
With God it is different. He is con-
scious, as we are not. of mans narrow
span of life. and we need to pray that
He may teach us to number our days,
I to keep properly before us the fact that
life here will have an end, and that at
no distant day.
The purpose of numbering oCr days
is a practical one-"that we may apply
our hearts unto wisdom" Many in
numbering their days apply their hearts
unto folly. Life being short. they rea-
son that it should be wasted on the
grounds that it is too short for the ae-
complshment Of great results. "A short
life and a gay life is the motto of
many. The brevity of life is made an
excuse for folly, for a sinful, wasted

postal cards and one open letter. which
were fair specimens. The latter was a
modest request for the relief of the
more pressing wants of the writer. 1t

A few letters were evidently written
under the direction of seniors of the

What becomes of the letters after
they reach the dead letter office? Most
of them are eventually destroyed, as
the children sign only their first names
and there is no way of returning
them.
