Christian Life Column,
WHAT IS A CHRIsTIANi

Christ did not come to cramp any
ones manhood He came to broaden
it. He did not come to destroy our
manhood He came to fulfill it. A
thorough going Christian is a man
with a stronger reason, kinder heart,
frmer will and richer imagination
than his Yellowstone who has at
tanned to his height in Christ. A
bigot or a prig Or a weakling is d
half developed Christian, one not
yet arrived at full age.
What ought a Christian to read?
Every book which feeds the intel
lect. Where ought he to go? Every
place where the moral atmosphere
is pure and bracing. What ought
he to do? Everything that will make
character. Religion is not negative,
a giving up this or that, but positive,
a getting and a possessing. If a man
will be content with nothing but the
best thought, best work, best friends,
best environments, he need not
trouble about avoiding the worst.
The good drives out the bad. There
r two ways of lighting a dark
room n is to attack the darkness
with candles the other is to open
the shutters and let in the light.
When light comes in, darkness goes.
There + two ways of forming char
acter :, one is to conquer u sins !;
the other is to cultivate the opposite
virtues. The latter plan is best be-
cause it is. surest-the virtue replaces
theNsin.
Christianity is not a drill it is life,
full, free. radiant, and rejoicing.
What u young man should do is not
to vex himself about his Imperfect
tiOns, but to fin his mind on the
bright image of Perfection not to
weary his soul with rules, but to live
with Christ as one liveth with d
friend. There is one way to complete
manhood, oand that is, fellowship
with Jesus Christian MacLaren,
in Outlook.

THE SIGN BOARD.

Written for The Progressive Farmer.
Listen! Do you hear the cry. 1t
comes from the valley across the
hill. Again and again it is repeated
"a man lost I A man lost! A man
JOSt!''
See the mountaineer, clad in his
heavy rough way, with lantern in
hand step from his humble home.
Directed by the voice he winds his
wav to the unfortunate traveller and
saves him from a dreadful death.
"Life is a journey" and while the
high ways are lined with sign boards
many poor wanderers get off into the
dark valleys. They carry no way
bill, no map or compass.
Hear their lonely "'crash, crash"
as they ramble at midnight through
the frozen snow. I can imagine 1 see
n straining his eyes, looking for
the North star in the South. See
him turn and retrace his steps. o
Who would attempt to describe
such agony? How sad to think of
the father, the mother, the brother
or sister wandering out in the dark
ness and freezing in the valley of
unbeIief, when the rest of the family
are safe in the fold.
Our lives should be as a pointing
hand, directing our fellow travellers
out from this wilderness into the
straight and narrow way" If
our station is low, if we cannot
stand at the cross street and on the
public high way as a guide, we can
step from our humble abode before
we lay down to sEeep, and listen !
and listen! Above the roar of the
night wind we will hear the piteous
CRY of some one in distress.

WONDERFUL LITTLE PEOPLE.

The cities where the little people
live T down under the ground.
Each city is like one great house
with lots of rooms. There are nur-
series for the babies, store rooms
where the food is packed away, liv-
ing rooms and long galleries leading
from one part of the town to another,
and up to the top of the ground.
There are even little cow sheds,
where the tiny COWS live in winter.
Some of the little people are black,
some T red and others brown. o Go
out in the field and lift up a large
flat stone and you will find the gate
way to one of these cities.
The ants, as we call these little
folk, will hurry about and each one
will take one of the white cOcOOns
that look like grains of rice and run
down into the house with it, as fast
as possible. Then she will come
back for another and pretty soon
there will be nothing left where you
turned over the stone but the mar
row roadway, leading down to Ant
Town.
The ants are very busy workers
and when you see a little heap of
dirt in the path you will know that
they have been making d new room
or digging out u new roadway, and
this is the earth they have. brought
up while they worked.
There are u great many different
kinds of ant folks. In some cities
the masters and mistresSes are very
lazy, because they keep slaves to do
all the work.
sit is so warm and sunny today
we must bring up the babes for an
airing" said n ant slave to an
other, as they met in one of the
halls.
"You can bring them up if you
want to, but l have too much to do.
First l must go with my sister slaves
and find food for breakfast. Then
we must feed our masters and mis-
t~resses, and afterward go out and
harvest the grass seed for winter
So they hurried along and the first
brought the babies up to the warm,
dry chamber near the top of the
ground.
The ant COWS r tiny green bugs
such as we often see on our house
plants. Their milk Is like honey
and the ants are very fond of it,
The ants know that these little COWS
would die when the weather grew
cOldif no n looked after them so
when fall comes they drive them into
the COW sheds they have made, and
feed them all winter, the same as
we do our cOws.-Margaret w.
Leighton, in American Agriculturist.
As we wish our young readers GA
Happy New Year" we would like to
give them this motto to remember
all through the year of 1901:
81 shall pass through this world
but once. Any good thing that 1
can do or any kindness that I can
show to any living thing, let me do
it now. Let me not defer or neglect
it, for 1 shall not pass this way
again"
If we can remember these excel
lent words and practice them every
day, at the end of the year, 1 know
that each young life will be wiser,
sweeter, more helpful and loving.
And that is what our people want to
be.-SeleCted.

IN HIS. GOOD TIME.

@ The old doctor had measured out
the. soothing powders and fastened
his saddle-bags. His patient lived
in a lonely farmhouse, far from
drug-shOps and neighbors.
"This medicine is only to quiet the
pain?" she asked, as her mother took
it from him and went out.

'There is nothing more to be done,
then?''
The old man took her hand and.
stroked it gently for his only answer.
She was a gaunt, m~iddle-aged woman
who had suffered for many years.
He wondered why she wished to stay
any longer. He had known her
since she was u child, and he could
speak candidly to her. They were
alone. She had been a faithful
Christian woman.
He held up the lean hand, of which
every knuckIe was distorted by
pain. .

The doctor was silent, watching
her anxiOusly. She was in no condi-
ton for argument.
EThis old body is ugly and worn

"but it is IT, cannot think of my
self in any other shape. And in a
few days it will be rOtting yOnder

The old man walked up and down
the room. He knew the end was
near. How could he help her? Sud
denly he came back bringing a little
pot in which bloOmed some migno-
nette. O
"Sarah," he said. ga few weeks

"Give it to me - she said, quickly.
He placed the little pot in her
hands. Her eyes were full of sud
den tears. The old man went out
quietly and left her alone with God
and the poor little comforter that
He had sent.
The next day the doctor was sum-
moned in haste, but when he came
he found that she had already thrown
aside her old garments and had gone
to be clothed anew by Him who
makes all things beautiful in His
own good time.-YOuth's Compan-

Special to the Leader.
New York, May 3.-Much interest
was manifest in a reproduction Of
President McKinley's likeness ap-
pearing in a New York paper, the same
having been sent by wire from the
national capital, a distance of 299
miles. The apparatus employed for
the performance was the joint inyen-
ton of H. R. Palmer and Thomas
Mills, of Cleveland. 1t was exhibited
some time ago at a conyersazione of
the American institute of electrical
engineers, but the first opportunity to
Judge of the quality of its work was
afforded yesterday, and the result was
highly satisfactory to inventors, edi
tors and public. The idea is not new
by any means and the apparatus en-
pioyed is much like the Amstutz sys-
TEN, which was tested in Cleveland
several years ago; but the Palmer
Mills invention is vastly more simple
and compact than predecessors oI
whatever design.
