Nor is the sense of safety all that is
awakened in the memory of a fathers
hand. It tells also Of guidance and COM
panionship. Not only in stormy evenings
was the large hand reached down to clasp
the little one. But memory is filed with
pleasant outlines and beauties of the coun-
try, always guided by the fathers hand.
The hand Of father came to mean so much,
both Of pleasure and comfort, that the
phrase is never seen or used but sacred
tenderness steals into the heart. All this
and much more the Heavenly Father is to
His children. We reserve our thoughts of
the Father too frequently to the days of
stress and prief. and forget it is the Father
who gives the joys and pleasures, too. We
think so much of the plying Father, and
IMAGINE falsely that His care is confined
to circumstances that call for pity. His
hand is bountifnl hand, filled with pleas
ures. ''The way is dark; my Father takes
my hand" is often upon our lips, but just
as true and far more frequently the path
has many flowers, all planted by one hand,
life has many gifts all planted by one hand,
the DAYS are crowded with JOYS all show
cred from one hand. And this hand is
my Fathers. hand. Episcopal Recorder

BABY and the Monkey.

Babies are very little like monkeys,
and we are least human when we are
youngest. But by way OF solace, and
to save our self-conceit, If that has
suffered, they assure as that, whereas
the little monkeys grow less and less
like humans every hour they grow,
our babies turn their backs on the
monkey type at the first squirm, and
grow away from it hand over, fist dur
ing the whole Of their protracted
period of development. The monkey
child's strength runs to Jaw and to
length of limb, and to agility and
monkey ways, says narper's Magazine.
The human chiid's nose asserts it
self, his brain grows and grows, and
insists on having room to expand in,
and his skull takes shape accordingly.
He finds his legs and gradually puts
them to use, though in some children
strength comes to the legs very slow
ly. The learned doctors assure us, too,
that the period of upward develop
ment in which the child grows more
human all the time, and keeps putting
distance between himself and the
monkeys, is in infancy and early
youth, and that presently upward
evolution stops, and development be-
comes "an adaptation to the environ
ment, without regard to upward ZOO
logical movement"

SOME PEouLlARlTlEs OF WRITERS
Many Cannot Do Good Work Unless Their
Fads Are HUNDRED.

Many Cannot Do Good Work Unless Their
Fads Are HUNDRED.
IT have often smiled" said the edi-
tor, "at the peculiar;ties displayed by
the different people while writing
their stories. Everyone has his or her
particular idiosyncrasy. Brown can
not write decent line unless he chews
at the end of an unlighted cigar,
Jones is unhappy and FESTIVE unless
he puffs at a Turkish cigarette, while
Robinson must always have his pet
br1er pipe. One man / know is very
'dopy' unless he has had his drink. II
he gets that inside Of him he can write
like master of prose.
Another fellow is most particular
about the arrangement of the things
upon the desk. If even only one object
is awry he is unhappy and cannot
go on until he has put them In order.
Still another feels at home only when
he sits in front Of mlxed-up mass OF
paper, pens and letters. One woman
writer l have noticed cannot get out
her stuff unless she eats candy at the
same time. With a box Of bonbons by
her side she can rattle off Quires OF
copy with ease.

cluded the editor, according to the
Philadelphia Record, land once in the

Lack Of Homo Feeling.

More OF the evil in the world than we
often think for can be traced back to the
lack Of home feeling in childhood days."
says the Waterman, Of Boston "Where
that does not exist, the young man or
woman loses the invaluable consciousness
Of the solidarity of the family They come
to. feel that they stand only for them
selves, that they need not consult the in
terest of others, and they miss that happy
restraint of affection for those with whom
God united them in the closest of ties. In
spite of all that is said about the misdoings
Of the children of devout parents, we be-
lieve that it will be found almost univer-
sally true that the children Of happy Chris
tian homes turn out well. They have
special guard in their hearts against the
seductions Of evil. They do not sin against
the home, and the memory of their own
happy households weaves an ideal of the
homes they desire to build, which keeps
them brave and pure and human

ferent members of the body knit together;
by the union of the husband and wife; by
the union of the Father and the Son; SO
that in this union there is a stability, vi
ttality, consciousness, affection and perfect
harmony. If one is in Christ. he will live
above the world and the storms effect.
The earth may be covered with storms,
but little way up the atmosphere is clear
and the sun in shining. If we wdit. upon
the Lord we shall renew our strength; we

THE LOVE OF GOD.
III Would that we might understand
the meaning Of the expression "the love of
God" It is limited at in thissWnrld Pass
ina along the streets one hears The words
OF song or catches the strains of piece
OF music being played End he saws. Chat
is from Beethoven or. Mozart. I recornizs
the movement" So in this life we catch
strains Of the love of God We behold it
IN the mothers disinterested, self-denving
love. we see it in the lovers plow. and in
the little child's innocent affection. but
these things are only hints. The Bible
gives us the best revelation. Beginning
with Genesis the scroll is constantly un-
folding Patriarchs and prophets; judges
AND. kings each tell their story. So, little
by little we get flashes out of His great
heart until they all come together as the
rays OF the sun are converged in the sun
glass; then we begin to understand It
was not. however, until the Son of Right
eousness arose at the advent that there
came the morning light which gives us the
thought. not of the administration of God.
h,lt of His heart. What is infinite love?
The purest, sweetest, tenderest thing
known on earth is the overhanging heart
OF mother over the cradle that contains
her babe that can give nothing back: re-
>ceiving. everything. and returning nothing
yet the love of the mother is but drop
in the ocean when compared with the love
of God. 1t is infinite, infinite!
There's Wilderness in Gods mercy
Like the Wilderness of the sea; 7
There's kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of mans mind,
Ard the heart Of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind
Over in England an archdeacon, having
reached almost the end of his life. had his
home so constructed that he could spend
his closing days in sunshine. In the morn
ing they placed his chair so that he could
turn his face toward the east and see the
rising sun; at noontime they wheeled his
chair into the south window, where he
could behold the sun in his meridian, but
in the evening hours they would place
him in the west, window. where he could
behold the king of day sinking behind the
distant hills. So let me ask you in the
morning of your life to keep your faces to-
ward the east window, and at noontide
live in the south window, but when even
ing comes turn your face toward the west
window. SO that all your journey through
YOU may live in the sunshine, and thus
keep yourselves in the love Of God.

Catarrh POlsons.

Catarrh is capable of changing all the
ife-giving secretions of the body into
scalding fluids, which destroy and infame
every part they come in contact with. APP
plications to the places affected by catarrh
can do little good save to soothe or quiet
disageeable symptoms. Hence it is that
gargles, sprays, atomizers and inhalants
only serve as temporary relief. So long as
the irritating secretions of catarrh con-
tinue to be formed so long will the mem
branes continue to be inhamed, no matter
what treatment is used.

Cease to live in the atmosphere of your

great mistake to loiter around sin to
which ones nature is prone. Your moral

Beyond n Depth of Fifty Feet They

The sponge is an animal and not a

eats and, when in the water, is filed
with mucus. The sponge in its famil-
far state is only a carcass. Sponges
are known to grow at depth of 200
feet and live even deeper, doubtless.
At the depth of fifty feet they can be
forked by an expert fisher. but at a
greater depth they must be got by
diving.
Sponge fishers use a glass by which
sponges can be seen growing on the
bottom. The instrument is in the ma
ture of a pail with n glass bottom, at
tached TO the bow of the boat. 1t is
submerged, so as TO steady the vision,
which otherwise would be contorted
by the waves. The water where
sponges grow is very clear, and bottom
can be seen at a great depth.
The home of the sponge fishing indus
try is in Greece and centuries old. A
large percentage of the Mediterranean
sponges come from the island of Hy-
dra. Some. however, come from off
the coast of Tripoli. \ few sponges
come from the faroff land of Madagas-
car. There are two months in each
year when sponge fishing is practically
abandoned. This is in August and
September, the hurricane months. Dur
ing the other ten months the industry
flourishes.
