An Old. Old Story Told Again.

To be born with good body, pleasing
countenance, quick intelligence, fine
voice and talent that wins early recogni-
tion-that, surely, is heritage to be
grateful for.
A man who was thus endowed died in
Boston on Sunday
Time was when people would crowd thea
tres to hear him sing and see him dance
and laugh at his fun.
He made immense sums OF money and
might easily have retired with wealth be-
fore he was forty.
Instead he died penniless at fifty-six in
a poor lodging house, separated from his
family, and all his friends were tired OF
trying to save HIM from himself.
Whisky.
That one word is the epitaph of Billy
Emerson, the minstrel, rich, and famous
in his way not so very long ago.
And he differed from the countless
wrecks whom he went to pieces only in his
greater natural gifts and the larger oppor-
tunities for better things which those gifts
brought him.
He had plenty of brains and seemed to
have good sense.
But that was not So No man with good
sense will drink whisky when experience
tells him that he likes it too well.
That is the lesson which Billy Emerson
and all his unhappy kind bequeath to

These two topics very appropriately

to begin our evangeliZation than at

them, the sympathies begotten by ties
of blood, should all urge us to work
for our own and should be great aid

To Consider.

To consider is the last thing that men
are prepared to do in any age, and in this
peculiar age it is perhaps the utmostly last
thing that men can be persuaded to do
to stand still The rush OF the age is so
great that even the most faithful servant
of God has to acknowledge, partly with
shame and partly Of necessity, that men
do not stand still, to hear God speaking.
1t is idle to say it cannot be done; it must
be done. If our souls are to be blessed,
and if we are to be vessels in any degree
meet for the Masters use, it is an abso-
lutte necessity; just as much as air is a
necessity for breathing and health. In the
midst of the rush in which we live, no
matter how great the strain, or how Sc
we're the distress, even the most hurried
business claims from their masters and
workers times for pause. Machinery de-
mards it. Balance sheets require it. Half
year.y audits are Known, even by the most
over-pressed business men. There is not
one who would dare to expect that his
earthly business could prosper if there
were no times for striking a balance and
seeing what the remainder is that is left.
So It is in regard to spiritual matters,
Every one of us, not mad or foolish must
understand that necessity is laid upon us
no. merely, as Paul said to preach the gos.
PEI, but to pause before God, and let Him
speak to us.-Webb Peploe.

This man who had never seen the light

how the world in all its beauty of color
and form might seem to him could he look
upon it; who, as yet had not understood,
evidently, that any man can be possessed

who had doubtless listened with keenest
interest to the conversation carried on be-

him, how little could he have comprehend

he reasons and queries about it all it rc-

How many perplexities he must have met!
How strange that one so blind should be

difficulty and need we find that Christ is
near, and though we feel the touch of the
Divine hand in the providence of life, we
are yet left to walk awhile in the dark, as

GODS MESSAGE TO MAN
PREGNANT THOUGHTS FROM THE
WORLDS GREATEST PROPHETS.

Poem; Prayers OF the Little ones-waik.
Ing in the Dark-Lesson from the
story OF the Blind Man whose Sight
Was Restored.
How sorely pressed the Lord must be
With all the fearful peoples woes
The weak implore for mastery
Above their strong, relentless foes;
The poor cry out against the rich,
The slave would fling his chains away,
And oft their cries must be unheard,
But God, / know, hears every word
When little children kneel to pray.
Mayhap the pious Pharisee
Is never heard about his roof
When he, at bedtime, crooks the knee,
Beseeching for his own behoof;
Their prayers may all be said in vain
Who arm themselves and march away
To fall in battle or to kill,
But God, know, must listen still
When little children kneel to pray.
The grave.faced hypocrite who reads
The word the Master gave to men
And loudly prays and then proceeds
To crush the weak for gain again
May be SO little that the Lord,
Attending to immense affairs,
Is unaware of him, but oh
God still has time TO heed, / know,
When little children say their prayers.
The ones who wrangle over creeds
And those who think, forsooth, that they
Are sent to judge the peoples needs
And give the word and show the way
May be so little and obscure
That God with all His awful cares,
Is deaf to them-but, filled with love,
/ know He listens from above
When little children say their prayers.
