Love For God,

PRAYER becomes 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 90 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 lttlcncss 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 them The very he
is prayer, clingng, delighted gazing
into Face which knows no turning, u
holding to the Hand which never looacns
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 as
we go to Him as the child to its mother,
as the bird to its nest az the Wltheret
flower to the moisture which falls and
kisses It's upturncd hungry lace. Granted
a God and all else follows. His love for
W., our love for Him, presupposcs prayer
as necessity. Tompkins.

WAS 1T A NEW EXPERIENCE
Tale of Strange Happening to Party
of Literary Men.


Sir Wemyss Reds new biography
on William Black, the novelist, recalls
an amusing story of Blacks visit to
America which has never before APP
peared in print. 1t concerns Mr..
Black and three literary men, who,
as they are still living, we shall desig-
nate as Messrs. A., b. and C. 1t seems
that Black and this interesting trio
were having a quiet afternoon at
poker, into the mysteries of which
Black desired to be initiated. An &C
compartment to the game, merely for
purposes of accuracy in local color,
was bottle of fine old whisky, which
Black had provided, with pride in its
high merit. This bottle now becomes
at once the hero and william of the
story; for it was so old, and had SO
long been undisturbed that the fusel-
oil had collected at the top in deadly
strength. All of the party drank
lightly. but the consequences were
so unfortunate that one of the liter
airy gentlemen retired and went to
bed, and another, a very abstemious
man, assembled the staircase of his
own home on his hands and knees,
and when his astounded wife inquired
what was the matter, amiably replied,
"M'dear, | wish they wouldn't take the
banisters off the stairs. Why do they
do it, m'dear?" When the four friends
met later and compared notes, their
experiences were found to be singu-
larly alike, and, the trouble being ex-
planned, Black laughingly apologized
for his unintentiohally dangerous hos
uitality

PRAYER Kent Him From Falling.

4 story illustrating the power OF prayer
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 prophescd by those who knew
him best that he would not hold out
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 dot at the day OF the
month on calendar near him. and
prayed for help for the next hour. SO the
Lord carried him through the day, and 81

STEPPED OFF TO MEET HER.
Amusing Incident Told by Louisville
Courier.J Journal,

Courier-Journal.
Sunday when the, excursion train
from Paris filled with negroes bound
for the camp meeting, reached this
city, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, it passed the station and
went through Cynthiana at the rate OF
about twenty-five miles an hour, the
idea being to keep the crowd on board
until the arrival at the grounds at the
Falmouth pike GRO. 'rg. Just before
reaching Pike street negro man
jumped from the train. or course,
the momentum Of the cars carried
him along at a terrific pace. His
body was going so fast that his legs
could not possibly keep up, but they
made valiant effort to do SO, and
such lickity-sp negro never cut
before. He galloped across the gut
ter at Pike street at tremendous
speed, barely missed n telephone pole,
flew up into the air, turned couple
of somersaults, and landed all IN
heap in the middle Of the street HIS
eyes were as big as saucers and seem
ed to pop out. AS he slowly gathered
himself together his trousers were
split, his knees were bruised ana
bleeding, his arms were wrenched, his
coat-tails were in tatters, and his
battered stiff hat was mashed down
tight over his ears.
At that moment a negro girl who
knew him came along.
why, how do you do, Mr. Hop
kins?" she exclaimed.
"Why, how do you do?" he an
swered in deep calm tones, with care
fully measured accents "How do you
do? You are looking quite we-we-well.
