Love For God.

PRAYER becomes a necessity when We
know what Gods love for us means. To
read the story, as the Bible tells it, OF
the love which made the world and man.
and of the love which sent God to live and
die on earth for Us; to go over the years OF
living and see how goodness and mercy
have followed all the days; to pick out
the blessings till they grow into glowing
clouds always lowering over the human
eXperience-these show the divine love so
nightly that one cannot keep away from
the contemplation! And so the human
love grows until it reaches God. and bows
at His feet, and presses its littleness into
the very vastness of His nature, and draws
its breath from the very presence of Him
who is Himself love! Prayer-why We
cannot help loving then! The very life
is a prayer, a ~clinging, delighted gazing
into a Face which knows no turning, Il
holding to the Hand which never loosens
its grasp, a speaking to a Father whose
one great desire is the child's happiness.
Every act OF ours, every need, every
pleasure, every pain is as much Gods as
ours. and we know it, and knowing it az
We go to Him as the child to its mother;
as the bird to its nest, as the withered
flower to the moisture which falls anc
kisses its upturned hungry face. Granted
a God and all else follows. His love for
us, our love for Him. p~resupposes prayer
as a necessity.-Floyd Tompkins.

PRAYER Kept Him From Falling.

a story Illustrating the power OF praytT
to keep from falling is related of a
Scotchman employed in a great steel fac
tory, who after many years OF drinking
gave up the habit.
1t was prophesied by those who knew
him best that he would not hold ont
through the hot weather, but contrary to
all prophecies he stood firm.
They asked him how he succeeded. and
he said it was because at the beginning OF
every hour he asked the Lord to keep
him through the hour. At the end OF the
hour he made a dot at the day of the
month on a calendar near him, and
prayed for help for the next hour. So the
Lo"d carried him through the day, and so
he expected the Lord to carry him through
his Lie.

But doing as well as we know how is not

what is right, and then to do it. Even
under human governments it is said that
it is every mans duty to know the law.

There is a Kind OF insanity in the posi-
ton which men occupy with regard to
being Christians.
First. let us suppose a case of sickness
where the patient gradually grows worse,
the temperature is high, the pulse is rapid,
the heart is entirely wrong, the skin is
dried and parched. the case is critical, a
cure must come quickly or not at all, and
You go to the afflicted one and propose a
cure because your disease was the same
and you nave been cured. Suppose the
patient should remark, Il do not feel that
this remedy will cure me, after a while l
will try it." Possibly that is a specie Of
insanity. but suppose he declares that he
will wait until he grows better and the
disease has practically left him; in this,
that he cannot understand how the rem
edy would cure him, and that until he can
comprehend it he will not accept it. Could
anything be more insane than such a po-
sition? Or suppose he should say, 81
would take it. but | know one who tried
it and failed" | ask you, is not this a
species of insanity?
Second. what would you say concerning
the position OF such a sick man? ] know
what you would say. You would look at
him and say, Poor man; he is insane;
feelings have nothing TO DO with the mat
ter; you cannot grow better without a
remedy. The doctor understands the case
and you do not need to understand it"
This is what you would say, but | know

SURE DEATH TO wooDcHUcGs
Caaada's Department of hEriesitars
Tells How TO Do Away with
the Pests.

In many parts Of Canada a good deal
of damage is annually done in grain,
hay and pasture fields by the common
woodchuek. or grounding. Not only
is a considerable amount of grain or
fodder consumed by these animals,
but much more is trampled upon and
destroyed, while the open burrows are
occasionally responsible for accidents
to horses employed in harvesting.
Many ways of destroying these ami
mails have been devised, but ordinary
methods frequently fail to Keep them
in check. Probably the simplest and
most satisfactory method is that OF
the use of bisulphide of carbon, an IN
fiammable liquid which, on exposure
to air, volatilizes into a vapor that is
very destructive to animal life. A bull
letin has been issued by the depart
ment of agriculture, telling how to APP
ply the remedy, reports the Toronto
Star. One special advantage of carbon
tisulphide is that its vapor is more
than twice as heavy as air. so that IN
a woodchuck burrow it will follow
along the hole until it reaches the bot
tom, crowding the air above 1t TO the
top. As the animal is likely to be in
the lower part of the burrow, 1t is al
most certain to inhale the poisonous
vapor and be killed.
The equipment necessary for this
sort of woodchuck hunt consists of a
bottle of carbon bisulphide, bundle
of old cotton or other cloth, pail and
spade. The pail is filed with dirt and
set near the hole ready to turn in; then
a piece of cloth is held between thumb
and finger. saturated with about an
ounce Of the liquid, and Immediately
thrown as far into the burrow as
possible. The pail of dirt is quickly
thrown into the hole. and the entrance
carefully closed. If there is more
than one entrance. all but one should
be filed in before the treatment This
method not only Kills the old wood
chuck, but destroys in a humane man.
ner the young in the burrow. 1t has,
too, the additional advantage that the
animal is not only killed but is buried,
and the hole is filed. so that consider
able time is thus saved.
1t should be distinctly understood
by everyone who uses carbon bisul-
phide for any purpose that it is high
ly volatile, infammable and poisonous,
and it is also highly explosive. With
any reasonable care in its use, how
ever, out of doors, no i'll results can
follow.

Made n Gnnd Guess.

She was an amateur artist, and,
like most of her kind, considered
herself several laps in advance OF
the average amateur. She was
eager, however, to know how her
work would impress one of the mas
tiers who had managed to grasp tickle
Fame by the back of the neck.
One day real painter called at her
home. and she Immediately conceived
the idea of testing him. She would
show him a specimen of her handi-
work, but would reveal nothing that
might lead him to suspect her as
being the creator thereof. so the
fair amateur proceeded to guide the
real painter toward her masterpiece.
"Of what school would you call
this painting?" she asked, expect
antly.
"Of the boarding school," promptly
replied the real painter.-London
