An Offering or a Collection.

Though frequently used as synony-
nous, the words Offering" and .'collec-
ton" are widely different In meaning.
The distinction Is happily set forth in
this anecdote:
A small boy had a dog which he had
named Fido. One day at dinner the
boys father noticed him take the best
portion of the roast beef which had fall
len to his lot, and place it on another
plate. Upon inquiry, the father learn
ed that the meat was for the dog, Fido.
MY SON." said the father, Sit would
be better II you ate that meat yourself,
and gave Fido some of the scraps
which are left" The boy protested,
but the father was obdurate.
At the conclusion of the meal the boy
took out TO Fldo plate heaped with
scraps OF the roast. Here, Fido." said
the boy. II wanted to- make you an Of

A gentleman went home from church
one Sunday angry and resentful. The

Lead Us Not Into temptation.

How easy 1t Is to tear piece of pa
per along the line In which 1t has orig-
nally been folded! How easy Ii is for
a second temptation to overcome when
the first has been yielded to! A sin
that has once gained the victory over
our moral nature has put a fold, as 1t
were In that nature. and destroyed its
straightness and smoothness, so that
when the same temptation comes a
second time, it seeks the weak point
which 1t had formerly made, and,
along that line of least resistance. we

pies and strong resolutions, Hugh

How TO make life worth liyingy"
The question haunts us every day.
IL colors the first flush of sunrise,
II deepens the twilight's last ray.
There is nothing that brings US a drearier
pain
Than the thought, I'VE have lived, we
are living in vain"
We need, each and all, to be needed,
To feel We have something to give
Toward soothing the moan of earths
hunger,
And We know that then only We live.
When we feed one another as We have
been fed
From the hand that gives body and spirit
their bread
Our lives they are well worth the liy.
ing
When We lose our small selves In the
whole.
And feel the strong surges of being
Throb through US one heart and one
soul
Eternity bears up each honest endeayor
The life lost for love Is life saved forever

rather low spirits, told him this tale
as an instance of his great popularity
with all classes Of the queens sub
jects. The whimslcality of the thing
was congenlal TO Disraeli. who was
kept waiting next day at a cabinet
council for the arrival Of an important
colleague. To pass the time he told the
assembled ministers the story of the
theatrical supper. Lord Cairns (absit

solemnity put out of countenance the
prime minister. who at once made the
nonarrival OF the colleague an excuse
for postponing the council for couple
