pointment, "Alss, this is not the worio l

they jourDeyed to England, and there
were mighty ships in the barbor ana
huge mills and factories and plenty to eat
And again Allah said, "No, this is not the

went, Allah looked on the land and said,
"No, this is not it," At last the angel lea

II one really loves his friends, he will
seek opportunities to serve them for
loves sweet sake, and his highest sat
isfaction viii be to prove himself really
useful and helpful to them. But to
love ones friends is not enough. Surely
it must be right to give our hearts
best to these, but there are the unlove-
ly and the unfriendly. the lonely and
desolate, who are really starving,
though they may not know it, for the
sunshine of some ones compassion,
some ones plying love. What right
have we, who are so rich in friends, TO
deny them this solace? The Christian
name is not ours if we are satisfied TO
love those who love us. to serve those
who minister to us. Selfshness is our
master, and not the Saviour, who has
loved US with perfect love, and whom
we have promised to love and serve

DAYS, when the sun IL so bright that every
thing fairly glitters, followed by equally
beautiful nights, which are only gor-
geous sunset, a short brilliant twilight
and then sunrise again.
Whenever one gets among the trees,
familiar birds are plentiful and very
friendly. A largo red squirrel chetters
from the branches, while rabbits, grouse,
woodcock, and other edible small fry,
are learning to skurry out OF the reach of
the hunters or miners gun.
The cabins are built OF FIR or spruce logs,
occasionally hewn, chinked with the
miners friend, moss. They are usually
built with the roof projecting over the
front, and here is the "cache" or store %
canned goods, -four, meat, etc. This food
is OF the very best quality, and the men
really live well, though they have little
variety. Blueberries are abundant, and
mulberries and currants are also found.
1t is altogether most delightful place
to spend the summer, and hope many OF
my Ellsworth friends may have an oppor-
tunity to try 1t sometime. To one and all
of these friends, / send greeting.

Sympathy is a form of Christian
service. 1t is not a favor granted by
one and received by another; 1t is that
action by which one life enters into an
others life, takes up a portion of the
burden, shares the joy or success, be-
comes for the time being a part of that
life and contributes to it some of its
own strength. 1t does not weaken the
individuality of the life it helps; it
rather strengthens it. 1t does not less
en- its responsibilities; 1t helps to bear
them. BY relieving the tension it gives
opportunity for development, by COM
partnership gives new courage and fresh
ability for advance when the assisting
presence is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

A STEP AT A TIME.

In accomplishing your days work you
have simply to take one step at a time. To
take that step wisely is all that you need
to think about. II am climbing noun
tain, to look down makes me dizzy, to look
up may make me tired and discouraged.
Take no thought for the morrow. Suf-
ficient for the day-yes, and for each hour
in the days the toll or trial thereof.
There is not child of God in this world
who is strong enough to stand the strain
of to-day's duties and all the load of to-
morrow's anxieties piled upon the top of
them. Paul himself would have broken
down il he had attempted the experiment.
We have perfect right to ask our
heavenly Father for strength equal to the
day, but we have no right to ask Him for
one extra ounce of anything beyond it.
When the morrow comes, grace will come
sufficient for its tasks or for its troubles.
"Let me he strong in word and deed,
Just for today
Lord, for to- morrow and its need,
must not pray.

A Foolish Practice.

The foolish practice OF tossing helpless
baby in the air, while 1t screams both
with alright and delight, Is most dan
gerous one.
A physician with large practice tells
the story OF preeociously bright child
which showed evident delight when
tossed In this way by doting grandfather
who was accustomed to play with II every
evening. The child trembled with delight
when the nights iroIic was over, but one
evening from this trembling 1t went into

stick to Your Tasks.

1t is hard to work when the body is
sick or weak, and harder still when the
mind is detected and depressed. But
the fact, nevertheless, remains that a
great deal of the best work in the
world has been done by persons in poor
health or in grievous mental distress.
To quit your tasks simply because you
do not feel like keeping at them is
sheer folly. Whatever your condition
may be, the only right and wise course
is to discharge all your duties as well
as you can, leaving the consequences
to God. You will often be surprised to
discover that your capacities are really
far greater than you had supposed
