On His heart OF hearts is pillowed
Your darling baby's head.
Upward fioats the voice OF mourning
Jesus, Master, dost thou carer
Aye. He feels each dropof anguish
He doth all our sOrrows bear.
Wipe thine eyes, OF hoavy laden;
Look beyond the clouds and see,
With your dear one on his bosom,
Jesus stands and calls to thee.
Wait with yearning, all unfathomed,
Love you cannot understand,
Lures you upward with the beckoning,
or your darling baby's hand.

for young men. There was q very
large crowd of young men in attend
ance as we'll as few older men. His
text was: "rhe young men shall
see visions and the old men shall
dream dreams Mr.. French pointed
out in forcible language that the
young man was at the head of all the
responsible positions in this country
and that what the country wanted
today was sober, industrious christ
ian young men. He went on to show
the evil of non-attendance upon de-
vine services. Only % PEI
cent. of the young men of the United

20 per cent. of the crimes committed
In the United States were committed
by young men. So per cent. Of the

men.
Go into the train dispatchers Office
one of the most important POSITIONS
in the world. and who do you find al

Race uetween Men and Machines.

The difference IN capacity between
a skilled workman and a machine is
in some cases simply enormous. A
good matchmaker, without the aid
of machinery, is able to make about
5000 matches in a day Of eight work
ing hours. In the same time a ma
chine will make about 1900, 600
matches, or about 100000 boxes. Dur
ing the time which is required by
one man to make three matches the
machine is able to make 6375, or
about 100 boxes.
During a working day of 10 hours
even the most expert candle maker
could not draw more than 1000 can
dies of inferior quality, while modern
machines can make about 1000 dur
ing the same time.
The average capacity of brick
machine is about 5000 day, equal
to the capacity of 10 men during the
same length of time.
without the assistance Of modern
means Of transportation trip around
the earth would take about 4SO
days, while with the assistance of
steam railroads and steamboats, it
can be made in 20 days. Thus mod.
ern means of transportation have
practically reduced the size of the
earth to travellers to about one-twelfth
its former size.
