stevenson,s Personality.

The charm was real whether it was
studied or not, and it is hard TO see what
disgrace is involved in that charge of
stage play. Yet some on finding art in
an unexpected place will call it lunbug.
and their pleasure is spoiled. They want
elaborate artistic effects, but the man
that they come from must be as simple
and wholesome and plain as a bowl of
oatmeal. Stevenson's personality, as it
is called. was probably his masterpiece.
There is no hero in his books to compare
with the hero of his letters. Why should
not romance begin at home? He had Vir-
tues and graces Of his ewn. He borrow
ed others He arranged them all with a
pleasure of his readers. And they will
in the long run be no less pleased for

ings with the Juniors will be observed by
many of the chapters. Subject. "samueTs
Call" / Sam. iii:1-21. The "Epworth
Herald" gives the following: It is sug-
gestive that this call came to a boy who
Was an attendant in tie temple. He had
been well taught He had not been spoiled
and hardened by undue familiarity with
sacred things. His whole life had been a
DTepara, IoG for such an hour as this. This
case is typical It is not the neglected
child which Is always the easy subject of
divine CALL nor is it the mistaught
child II is the child which has been SEN
sibly and consistently brought up in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord. God
certainly does not put a premium on ig
norance and neglect in the salvation of
our children We should not depend on
our own resources We should trust in
the blessing of God upon our. consecrated
teaching and example It is presumption,
not faith, to do anything else.

ciety for entertaining children.
