Grace at Meals.

During the last generation il was very
rare 10 see any family begin meal with
out grace. but the omission OF this cere-
mony is becoming more common every
day in some sections.
1t seems that there is like decline Of
the custom in England An English
writer who has observed this tendency
for several years past and is much pain
ed by il declares that the abandonment
Of grace before meals is "thc most not
able change in private religious observ-
ance in London"
The Springfield Mass Republican
makes the surprising declaration shat
saying the blessing" is still observed on
many public occasions, but that it is
comparatively seldom heard in New Eng
land families. even when they are de-
scended from Puritan forbears and have
inherited the whole body of Puritan ira
dtions."
The habit of saying grace may have
fallen off to some extent in the south, but
it has not declined to anything like the
extent it has in either New England or
old England. 1t is still the rule In the
great majority of southern households
and will continue so for long time "

Atlantic ocean. 1 am the terror OF all
invalidism, and to fight me back forests
must bc cut down for fires, and the mines
of continents are called on to feed the
furnaces. Under my breath the nations
crouch into scpulchers. Don't you wish
you had my powcr?" said the east wind.
The west wind made no answer, but
started on It's mission, coming somewhere
out Of the rosy bowers Of the sky, and all
the rivers and lakes and seas smiled at its
coming. The gardens bloomed, and the
orchards ripened, and the whcatfields
turned their silver into gold, and health
clapped its hands, and joy shouted from
the hlltops, and the nations lifted their
foreheads into the light. and the earth
had a doxology for the sky, and the sky
an anthem for the earth, and the warmth
and sparkle and the glndness, and the
foliage, and the flowers, and the fruits.
and the beauty, and the life were the only
answer the west wind made to the inso-
lence Of the cast winds Interrogation.
Kindness to all! Surely it ought not to
be difficult grace to cultivate when we
see towering above the centuries such an
example that one glimpse of 1t ought to
melt and transform all nations. Kind
ness brought our Lord from heaven.
