Your Own Cross tho Best.

There is poem called "The Changed
Cross" 1t represents a weary one who
thought that her cross was surely heavier
than those o. others about her, and wished
that she might choose another instead of
her own. She Sept, and in her dream she
was to a place where many crosses lay,
crosses of divers shapes and sizes. There
was little one, most beauteous to behold,
set in Jewels and gold. "Ay. this I can
wear with comfort" she said. So she
took, it up, but her weak form shook be-
beautiful, but they were far too heavy for
her. 50
= Next she saw lovely cross with fair
flowers entwined around its sculptured
form Surely that was the one for her.
SIZE lnted it, but beneath the flowers were
piercing thorns which tore her flesh.
At iSst, as she went on, she came to
plain, cross without jewels, without carv-
ing, with OILY few words of love in
scribed upon r. This she took up and IL
proved the best of all, the easiest to be
borne. And as she looked upon it, bathed
in the radiance that FELL from heaven, she
recognized her own oid cross. She had
found it again, and it wa5 the best OF all
and lightest for her. d,
God knows best what cross we need to
bear. We do not know how heavy other
peoples crosses are. We envy some one
who is rich; his is a golden cross set with
Jewels. But we do not know how heavy
it is. Here is another whose life seems
very lovely. She bears cross twiAe1
with flowers. If we could try all the
other crosses that we think lighter than
ours we should at last find that not one Of
them suited us so we'll as our own. n.---JSR:

The Field to Servo Him In.

BOSTON," said the young graduate of
Radcliffe. "Did you ask where Boston is?
Why, Boston is not place; it is a way of
looking at things" And the young miss
was correct in her statement. She would
have been equally correct had she said it
of London, Paris or Pekin. Just as it is
true that
"Stone walls do not prisoner make
Or iron bars cage"
so true is it that the soul dwells in a
spiritual environment all it's own. The
yellow primrose" is not the same thing
to the clown, the botanist and the poet.

green earth sSnd the deed, cold moon
swing round tTsa same planetary orbit, and
heaven and hell, though separated by an
impossible gulf, are concentric circles.
Every once in while, just now with re-
peated frequency, we hear that Jesus
Christ came ito set up kingdom, which
has never yet been realized" and to which

tions of tic day oppose themselves; that it
can never come until we have new laws,
customs, relations of classics, and what
not. That was what the Jew said and he
thought, and he crucifed Him. Instead of
being centuries far remote, Jesus said,
twenty centuries ago: ''It is here"
1t was our privilege years ago to know
the famous American sculptor, Hiram
Powers, and we took great delight in Wis.,
iting his studio in the old city Of Florence.
We noted one day after a careful study of
the works he had placed on exhibition that
there was scarcely a single statue or bust
unrelated to American history.
Here were her statesmen, soldiers, naval
commanders, singers and ideal figures rep.
resenting the very latest events in our ma.

Powers, to keep in touch with Amerie4n

replied, II have not been out of Italy for
twenty-nine years, but I have never lived

w HEN BABY WRITES A LETTER.

When baby writes letter to her Daddy
Tar away,
The OCCASIONS most important, for she
has so much to say
She sits up to the table, as grown-up folks
And then pile Of paper all around her we
must strew.
With Grand dmas golden spectaeles safe
perched upon her nose
She dips her pen into the ink, then straight
to work she goes,
And the onslaught fierce that follows
would I'll you with dismay-
When baby writes letter to her Daddy
far away.
''Baby sends her love to Daddy, and hopes
that he is well,'
Is the sentence Baby first indites-her
methods I must tell
For the sweet and simple message that ex-
presses Baby's love
Is dot and dash and big ink-splash be-
low and just above.
She perforates the paper with many tiny
pricks,
And plays tattoo on her chair with sun
dry little kicks,
And all the floor is scattered DER with
fragments of the fray
To tell us Baby's writing to her Daddy far
away.
The letter is long one, for scores of
sheets are used,
And every one bears witness to the way
it's been abused.
A page for every word she takes, she
quite ignores the lines,
While each one as it's written to oblivion
she consigns;
Then proudly for an envelope Miss Baby
now will call,
And she fills it full OF paper, with no
writing on at all.
The address is so illegible, much regret
to say,
It's doubtful if twill ever reach dear
Daddy far away.

Home Companion.

such sounds were so common that at
the moment we paid no attention to
them. While we were at breakfast,
pre of MS, calling these reports to

the vain hope Of his fathers return
Peter became so distressed that, at
his earnest request, DR.. Lewis. Fred

IN September, 1870, q small party
of us went up from Georgetown,
Col, to enjoy q few weeks hunt

AS cooks, camp keepers and general
utility men, we had old Joe Bruette.
q French Canadian ex-voyaguer, and
his grown son, Peter, both thoroughly
efficient pleasant fellows, and so
warmly attached to each other that
nothing less than ineXorable necessity
could keep them apart for twenty
four hours; nor would either of them
ever engage with party of tourists
or sportsmen unless the other could
20 along, even if both had to work for
one mans pay.
After spending a day or two at Hot
Sulphur Springs, we moved our camp
down to Williams River, almost under
the shadow of Williams River Noun
tains, where fish and game were at
that time plentiful.
The trout, however. did not take
kindly to our artificial flies; so, early
one morning, while his son was doing
the camp chores Joe, taking couple

left we heard several rifle or pistol

Soul Saving.

Soul-saving is the ultimate aim in this
enough to talk Of building character and
of developing Christian graces and of re.
forming society. These are the finishing
touches to be put on the structure after its
foundation and walls are in place, but
there is only folly in hanging up painted
scenery for worlds admiration while
there is nothing but gauze to support this
artistic display. Nor do we believe there
is any better way of improving character
than by keeping forever closely at the task
of saving souls. The temple is built by fit
ting each individual stone and board for
its place and this fitting is to be done in
forest and quarry, not after the material
is placed in the wall.-Central Baptist.
