Thing. rh.. tn. World xssas.

There are many things that the world
needs, and there Ia much work 70 b
done in many directions; but most Of q!
does the world need God, most Of al
does it need Righteousness, faith, hops
and love! The world needs better con-
ditions for its poor and wretched, better
tenements in which to house them; bus
it needs also better lives for the tene-
ments when built. II needs better oppof.
tunities for its teeming mnltitudes; but
it needs also clearer vision to see the OPP
portunities and stronger wills TO grasp
them. The world needs scientific knowi'
edge, but it needs religious emotion %
well. It needs it's thunderous industries,
but it needs the sense Of lsinship to God.
It needs its practical ideals; but it needs
sapremely the vision of the Highest. As
the heart panteth after the water brooks,
90 panteth my soul after Thee. o God!
Nv soul thirsteth for God, for the Living
Cod" From Him We came, and we arc
disnuieted until we rest in His bosom
until we feel the ocean OF His love lowing

His perfection, and our restlessness melt
ing into His everlasting peace.-Rev. Mr.

The Power Of Family Prayer.

Christian people OF to-day, as never be:
fore, are coming to n realizing sense o.
the value OF family prayer. More ana
more are they feeling its influence upon
their daily lives. Regarding this religious
observance, DR.. Cuyler says:
Family religion underiies both the
church and the commonwealth. 20 Chrls-
tian government, no healthy public con-
science. no Bible philanthropy, no godly
church.,ife, can exist without God in the
household. Let me be assured that z
family altar stands in every home, and
care little what political party bears rule

around the throne of grace. When the
inroads OF wealth and fashion crowd out

there is but small hope OF rearing such i
households in the nurture OF the LORD.

A Useful Life.

Do not try to do a great thing; yoa
may waste al your life waiting for the
opportunity which may never come. But
since little things are always claiming
your attention, DO them as they, come,
from q great motive, for the glory Of
God, to win His smile of approval and DO
good to men. 1t is harder to piod on in
obscurity, acting thus. than to stand On
the high places OF the field, within the
view OF all, and do deeds OF vaior at
which rival armies stand still TO gaze.
But no such act goes without the swift
recognition and the ultimate recompense
OF Christ. To fulfill faithfully the duties
OF your station; to use to the uttermost
the gifts Of our ministry; to bear chahng
annoyances and the trivial irritattons a.
martyrs bore the pillory and stake; 70
end the one noble trait in people who
try to annoy you; to put the, kindsst
construction on unaind acts and words;
to be content to be fountain in the
midst of a wild valley Of stones, nourish-
ing a few lichens and wild flowers, or now
and again a thirsty sheep; and to DO this
always. not for the praise OF man, bus
for the sake of God-this makes gIeat
and useful life.

Another experiment consisted OF
piercing a hole In the cell below the
part where the bee had been working:
In this case the bee Is Of the same
genus, but of a different species front
that Just described; 1t is the Chalico!
doma pyrenaica. This species builds
cells as does the other. but fills them
with honey as she goes on. raising the
walls a bit. then going on several ex-
pedItions for honey. then building up
the walls again. and so on until the
cell Is finished.
A cell was chosen which was almost
completed. and while the bee was away
hole was pierced In the cell below
where the bee was working. allowing
the honey In the cell to gradually es.
cape. Entirely ignoring an incident
so contrary to precedent and established
usage. the bee on her return calmly
worked away as II nothing had hap
pened, adding mortar to the edges OF
the cell and honey. which Immediately
ran out, leaving the nest empty. This
experiment was repeated many times
with differences OF details. but none
In the results. As 1t might possibly be
conjectured that the bee had failed
to notice the injury cell was selected
which had but a very little honey In
1t. A large hole was made In this.
which the bee returning with the honey
certainly noticed. for she went down
to the bottom Of her cell. and not only
examined the aperture carefully. but
felt Its edges with her Intennae and
pushed them through II. Did she them
as might naturally be supposed. stop
1t up? Not at all. To do so would be
to prove false to all the traditions Of
her race-be q departure from the i'm!
