LESSON THOUGHTS.
Nothing else could do so much to in
crease the material prosperity OF the
world as the universal acknowledgement
of the kingdom of God.
Missions have moved more rapidly at
some times than others, but they have
always advanced; they have never gone
backward.
Missions, to be sure, have the world
against them, but all heaven is for them.
SELECTIONS.
Where is your heather brother From his
Near thy own gates, or meath a foreign
sky,
From the thronged depths of oceans MUIR
His answering blood reproachfully doth
cry.
Blood of the SOUL Can all earth's fountains
make
Thy dark stain disappear Stewards of God,
"Success is as certain as the promise of
faithful God can make it," SAID hudson,
after toiling for years without visible
fruit OF his labor.
Men are more ready to go than ever
before. When Hobson called for few to
accompany him on his perilous expedi.
ton, the entire ships company stepped
forward. So it is when Christ summons
to dangerous service.
Missionary success is the flame of
Christian love catching" in other lives.
1t is the spirit OF self sacrifice Selling
upon pocketbooks. 1t is capture of in.
telligence with the needs OF the world. 1t
is patient waiting, sure of a harvest in
Gods best time. 1t is willingness to go
wherever God wants, suffer whatever
God permits, fail as long as God finds
failure necessary for final triumph. 1t is
invincible courage, unconquerable trust
unquenchable ardor. And it is victory
at the end-the whole round world for
Jesus.
All OF Gods processes are quiet, males
tic, serene, and those that expect mis-
sions TO go with rush" are expecting
God TO change his methods.
SUGGESTED HYMNS.
Conquering now and still to conquer.
Preach the gospel, sound it forth,
Great jehovah mighty Lord.
Speed away, speed away on your mission of

The morning light is breaking.
Work, for the night is coming.

THE LITTLE DRUMsHAPED HEADGEAR To 80

has hitherto been worn by the British guards

their audience SO far the Irish guards alone
are in possession of the cap which they
wear with a band of green. but the entire bri-
gade will shortly be furnished with similar
headgear. with the exception that the band of
the Coldstreams will be white. the Grenadiers
red and the Scots small check of red and

1t will seem rather extraordinary to the lay
reader that this forage cap, which may
possibly be issued 10 all troops besides the
Guards at an early date. has formed the sub
Ject of long and anxious discussion the part of
the uniform authorities at the War Office.
Every one has recognized that the old headgear
failed TO protect the soldier either from exces-
sive heat. wet or cold and the object of the
should possess all these advantages The styles
worn by every European army carefully
studied and tested and ultimately the present
cap, which in shape and material and manu-
facture is similar to the article by the
British blue1acket, resolved upon. In the
matter of uniform. however. the personal equa-
tion counts very largely. The authorities know
very well that smart uniform has attracted
thousands of mel to the recruiting depot and

head and not over the right ear. enjoy the same
popularity? The authorities plainly in
doubt on the point. and the present distribution
to the brigade of Guards is undertaken chiefly
for experimental purposes.
Those Irish warriors who have been consulted
the absorbing topic of the forage cap
have not heSitated to declare in favor of the
old type. The chief advantages to which the
army authorities lay claim is that the new pat
tern really establishes uniform style for sol
diers and handymen alike. and that the former
