SELECTIONS.

All, Lord, how carelessly we go!
Unmindful of thee quite,
Using each gracious gift as though
1t were our own by right.
Yea, and with thankless murmurng
For other boous Denied
Despising many precious thing
In blind and reckless pride.
Give us, o thou whose gifts are free,
The grace to heed thy call,
That in thy gifts may find thee,
The sweetest gift of all.
All we have we owe to God, and we

Zinzendorff once saw the picture of
Christ cruci6ed hanging on the wall of a
hotel parlor, and he wrote these words
above the picture; This did for thee, y

religion, but they were so deeply i'm

LESSON THOUGHTS.

All of Gods gifts to us, even the SUI
preme gift of his only and well beloved
Son, are freely given; he requires no re-
turn from us, and will accept none that
is not prompted alone by loving graft
tude.
Without the spirit of Christ behind
them the world would have none of the
blessings of charitable, educational, or
social reform institutions. Though the
world often refuses to acknowledge it,
we cannot fail to recognize our debt to
God for these benefits.

sT0AIes OF THE NAN.
The President Has 4 Keen Sense Of Humor.
but Seldom Relates Anecdotes.

NO matter how great a Mckinley ad-
rhirer one may be. the most enthusiasts
tic devotee of the President will not
sound his praises as humorist, says
the Washington 2 Post. A leading
metropolitan magazine recently sent
one of its best writer's to Canton
with instructions to secure a story on
Mckinley humor." The young man
spent nearly a fortnight in interview
ing the lifelong friends of the Presi-
dent and then departed. confessing
himself defeated.
i've Yet to find a man who has
heard Mckinley tell comic anecdote,''
he said. He seems to enjoy humor as
much as any one, but never appears
as a source of amusement. One could
conceive that he might have re-
luctance to appear as comedian since
he is the Chief Executive. believing it
incompatible with the dignity of the
office. but even in his early days in
politics | can find no record of his re-
lating stories. In any event. that is
the result of my investigation and
am ready to give up the trial"
Not that the President does not ap-
preciate humor-far from it. No. man
enjoys II clean story or an innocent
joke more than he does And he, re-
lates good bright anecdotes. too, when
occasion calls them forth but their
humor is more in the situation than in
the stories themselves That is the
reason persons have difficulty in recol-
Letting and relating them.

Calveston's Recovery.

One short year ago, this week. the
great city of Galveston was lying
stricken as few cities have been strick-

lives had been wiped out, many mil
lions dollars of property destroyed and
every municipal function demoralzed
The city was PROSTATE. broken and
buried and the world said Galveston
will never be rebuilt" But after the
great wave from the Gulf came the
great wave of national sympathy. and
then came the strong hand Of relief
and assistance. What a change since
one short year ago, and what one i'm

unshakable courage are doing their
work. The good will of this flourishing

upon the youthful ambitions Of the
members. Each related his early plans
for the future, and when Secretary
Wilson turn came the genial Iowan
said: My ambition has not yet been
realized. l wanted TO be worth a mil
lion dollars and have two good pairs Of
suspenders at the same time. As yet

ally laughed a this frank confession
and Secretary Gage. after a minute,
confessed that he had never simultan-
eously possessed two pairs of dependa-
BILE suspenders. Secretary Long re-
marked that when he graduated from
Harvard he had two pairs of new
trousers. each with good. new "gallus-
es.' but that the experience had never
responded to an encore. while the now
Justice McKenna said that. although
he came from the Pacific Slope, two

Ambition a Last Realized.

AS n sort OF final course to this tale
Mr.. Mckinley tells that Secretary VIII
son related this conversation at the
breakfast table the morning following.
Three of his children were present. II
was in he.early holiday season. Each
of the children sat interested and OBJ
serving Christmas came. and in the
figurative stocking of the secretary of
agriculture were found three dozen
pairs of suspenders of high degree Of
excellence. The. children had remem-
bered the story. All Secretary Wilson
then needed to realize his youthful am
bition was the million dollars.
