When softly brooding dark comes down
And starry lamps shine overhead,
When over all the restless town
The peaceful wing Of night IS spread,
Within the houses safe and warm
The little children climb the stair,
And folded safe from want and harm,
They kneel and say their bedtime prayer
And when I've tucked them into bed,
And quiet falls within the room
Where all their sweet good.nights are said,
pause to pierce the outer gloom;
An from without o moan OF pain
Ny spirit hears, as onward fare
The gzed host, with soil and stain,
OF thi,ss who know no bedtime prayer.
OF. Thou who here vast shelterless.
Who had not where to .ay Thine head,
On these, Thy children, look aud bless,
And send them love and daily bread!
Then when the night comes darknine

Fold all the lambs in Thy sweet care;
Aud DER each tattered cap and gown
Breathe Thou for them bedtime prayer.

The breadth OF Christianity depends on
its depth.
Cod puts consolation only where He has
FIRST put pain.
Early athletics vii! MOI suffice for the
heavenly race.
In this life there is but ono sure happi.

Expect God to help you when you have

True greatness is ability to serve coupled
with meek and quiet spirit.
When the Lord is in our hearts His hand

Never take your eye of the cross, as all
the lines OF salvation centre there.
Poverty OF possessions need not be dis

A thousand times better are the men

The loving judgments Of friends are

All Gods provideaces are but His

Il is positively true that even the busy
heart. in its constant sending of the life
blood from the central fountain to the ex.
tremities for the sustaining OF existence,
finds time to rest, moment by moment, be.
tween ita untirins and eeaseless- beart

hours and matters. At the same time, to

REST is not quitting

In q recent lecture at Chicago univer-
sity, Professor William y. Guthrie de.
elared that laughter and comedy may be
made to play an important part a. cura.
tive and remedial agents, even to the point
Of protecting humanity from the liquor
habit. Says the Chicago News in report
Of the lecture:
"Drunkenness, Of course, i due only In
part to discouragement or desperation.
But for the considerable number who drink
because they feel detected and seek .
quick and easy way Of throwing OF then
depression, there IS much larger number
who drink either because they have moth
ing else to do or because they crave some
excitement to relieve the moaotony Of
their lives. Drinking Is . great t!me-con.
suming habit, and the man who would
shake it of usually finds that the reform
leaves him with an undue amount OF leis.
ure. One chief trouble with the efforts to
suppress the evil, perhaps, Is that while
the drinkcr and his friends make brave ef.
forts to stop the bad habit, they do little
or nothing toward putting q new and
wholesome habit in its place. It 10 in this
stage that his bored feeling and his depres
sion recur with greatest effect. Professor
Guthrie's address contains q hint for the
despondent person. Let him surround
himself with the influences which make foi
comedy and laughter"

Work Makes Mon.

Work is given to men not only, no: .,
much, perhaps, because the world needs it.
Men make work, but work makes men.
An Office is not place for making money,
it is a place for making men. 4 workshop
is not a place for making machinery. for
fitting engines and turning cylinders: it is
place for making souls; for fitting in the
virtues to ones life; for turning out hon.
est. modest, whole-natured men. For
Providence cares less for winning causes
than that men, whether losing or winning,
should be great and true: cares nothing
that reforms should drag their cause from
year to year bewilderingly. but that .nen
and nations. in carrying them out, should
find there, education, discipline, unselfish-
ness and growth in gracc.-Henry Drum
