Lang. Literary output.

Andrew Lang held at one time what
must have been very nearly a worlds
record in literary output. His regular
weekly work was six leaders for a
morning newspaper, two humorous
sketches for an evening journal, two
long articles, two book reviews and a
contribution to n weekly illustrated pa
per. In addition to this he devoted
four hours every day to what may be
called pure literature. He turned out
books at the rate OF three a year or
even more. In 1890. for instance, there
appeared from his pen the lied Fairy
Tale Book" Life. Letters and Diaries
OF Sir Stafford Northcote," How TO
Fail In Literature End "Old Friends"
Bor weeks together his work would
average $4,000 words a week.

Songs A They Are Sung.

Who does not love to sing the songs
That other folks ARE busy singing
Thos jingly, jolly ballads that
Have set our ears and hearts TO ringingr
All Of us dol We s~traighten up
Whenever we hear the chorus coming,
And take a breath-then come out strong
Where heretofore we had been hurnnning
And thus we join the swelling chorus
when we had not the words before us):
I'm THE GO-O-OD OLD SUMNER
TIME, IN THE GOOD OLD SUMNER
TIME,
We go--er-er-um tee dee!
De aye. tee dunn. de day time,
In the good old summer time. in the good
old sninmcr time,
Tceldo-dum-de, ira la lee ii,
In the good old summer time"
We JOY in being up to date,
In jokes, and stories-everything
But best OF all we like to show
That we are happiest when we sing.
The verses that come first may not
Stick in our memories. but Just wait
Until the chorus comes along
Wen show you, then, the proper gait!
What though the first line is quite all
We know you ought to hear us bawi:
"oH, MIX, DOOLEY, OH, MR. DOOLEY,

"I'ye found your darlin' dog" she
said.
What was a thumb ring or distinc-

THE PASSING OF OPPORTUNITY

The Baptist Young Peoples Union

ing of Opportunity based upon Luke
xix, Ala; Matt. XII, 1924; and South
America, the Neglected Continent"
While the attention of Christian work.
ers in the mission field has been direct
ed to the older continents, where the
nations are bound by ancient traditions,
and therefore harder to reach, the near
by continent of South America, with
its native population ready to listen
has been neglected.
To be connected with Christ's great
kingdom is to be connected with that
which is not only great and good, but
everlasting, and "of the increase of
which there will be no end" And to
be connected with it in this very way
of extending its humanizing, saving in
f1uences among whole races and COM

not a people" and had not obtained
mercy" though it be attended with
many privations and hardships and
much self denial, is yet a work which
the sons and daughters of the church
should esteem as a privilege exceed
ingly great and precious.
In our anxious care for the morrow
We fail to enjoy the blessings of to-
day, present opportunity. We spend
our lives anticipating, but not realiz-
ing, for as soon as we have reached a
desired point we see beyond us some
thing to reach after which we believe
to be necessary to our happiness. If
we have not the spirit of contentment
today we are never likely to have 1t.
If we pass by unused the resources of
today we are likely to the same tomor-
row, thus making all our days barren

Of the "desertion" or Inability to get

of the distinctively Christian nations
there is absolutely no such thing as
medical knowledge and skill. The suf-
fering is appalling; the disregard of
human life and indifference to the con-
ditions of women and children among
the heather are almost beyond belief.
Whether the work be in China, In
Ola, Africa or Mexico, the poorer
classes of the people are almost totally
destitute of any help from physicians.
The native doctors are in many cases
worse than useless. In opening dis
pensaries and hospitals where all can
be treated at a reasonable charge or
free of cost multitudes are cured. At
the same time they are made acquaint-
ed with the gospel of Jesus and the
hope of eternal salvation. A new world
of experience is opened to them. Those
who can and will heal bodies will be
trusted to give directions to the soul
for its salvation.
The printing press, the school, the
pulpit and medical skill all unite to
spread the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
We no longer can rely upon miracu-
lous gifts of healing, but God has in
the past few years wonderfully led the
world into better views in medicine
and an immense number of valuable
remedies have been discovered A
quarter of a century has revolutiOnized
the practice of medicine and surgery.
This all seems providential and will
advance the cause of Christ as the
conditions of men improve.

The shInlno Of His Sunshine

Behold how the. sunlight streams over
the meadows, the gardens, the wales and
the hills By myriadS of channels it sends
the beams of light to save and bless. And
then beautiful as it is in its going forth,
fairer still in its return, for it does come
back, all this sunshine sent.
The oak says, Il am the sunlight
knitted into the f1bers that will not yield -
The tender violet looks up surprised at
such a boast and says: "Oh, no; but 1
am the sunlight. 1t fell here and God
changed it to flower" The cleaning
grain field hears not the dispute, but the
rhythmic voice Of its golden lips is say
ing: Would you find the sunbeams that
strayed from heaven and were lost? Be

the darkness of the mine? Some diamond
Is telling wonderful secret of how, ages

they burst out of prison and the lost sun
