Ingratitude.

Ingratitude in those who have helped in
their desire to do better things will not
injure you in the least particular, if you
steadfastly refuse to allow it to stir up
..'our feelings, and to make way into your
heart, for anger, and what is. born Of it..
mitted to do the Christlike office Of help
ing the unfortunate and the sorrowful.
Take that gift and be glad.
The twinge you feel may be reminder
that your motives were not pure, but were
mixed with something which you are not
willing to admit to yourself in doing the
good which you did, and that the ingrati-
tude of which you complain is sent of God
to make. this revelation that you may
have a further reward in getting to know
what is in yourself As much which prof
it's you is from what is bitter, and as God
is! seeking to make the best possible use
of you in this world, and to nave you pre-
pared for the glorious future. to which you
aspire, then thank God for the ingratitude
you feel so greatly because of the hidden
store of evil it shows you in yourself, and
at once cooperate with God in getting rid
of it. When this has been done faithfully.
and you find that you are able to see such
ingratitude with a smile of content, and
thus realize that what you do for others
is for Christ,,s sake. and not for other
motives, you have reached spiritual con-
dition which is approximating what YOU
are to be for ever when you are following
the Lamb whithersoever He goeth in
heaven. What we bear for Christ is as
much an indication of His spirit being in
us as what we do for Him and His cause.
It is a great and consolatory truth that
Christ is our burden-bearer but it is also
true that we arc to follow Him in bearing
the contradiction of sinners against our
peace of mind with the same spirit He
showed when in the tolls of the wicked

How to Eegin the Dav.

I begin my days work some mornings,
perhaps wearied. perhaps annoyed by a
multiplicity of trifles which seem too small
10 bring great principles to bear upon
them. But do you not think there would
pc a strange change wrought in the petty
annoyances Of every day and in the small
.rifles that all our lives, of whatever tex.
;ure they are, must largely be composed
vt, If we began each day and task with
that old prayer: Rise, Lord, and let
Thine enemies be scattered?" DO you not
think there would come a quiet in our
hearts and victorious peace to which we
are too much strangers? If we carried the
assurance that there is One that fights for
is into the trihes as well as into the sore
struggles of our lives, we should have
peace and victory. Most of us will not
nave many large occasions of trial and con-
f1ict in our career, and if Gods fighting for
lis is not actual in regard to the small an
poyances Of home and daily life, I know
hot for what it is available. "Many
mickles make muckle," and there are
more deaths in skirmishes than in the
pitched field Of a great battle. More
Christian people lose their hold Of God,
their sense of His presence and are beaten
accordingly, by reason of the little ene-
mics that come down on them like cloud
of Ignats on summers evening, than are
defeated by the shock of great assault
Or great temptation. which calls out their
strength and sends them to their knees to
ask for help from God.-John Watson,

Inside of Partisan Art.

Paris has lately been amused by Q
suit brought by Nine. Brach, who gave
up the stage for sculpture. She has
sued to prevent publisher from sell
ing copies of statuettes which she her
self made and owned. In the trial it
was asserted by the defense that Nine
Brach had bought the statusttes from
sculptor named Ricardo, but had not
bought the right of copying them. She
had paid $50 for one and $40 for the
other, and the only privilege that
went with the sale was the right to
sign her name to them. 1t was also
asserted in the suit that a popular
statuette which the state had bought
for the Louvre had been made by
Nine. Brach in the same way; she had
paid Ricardo to do it for her and let
her win the glory. The models sat for
Nine. Brach, who worked busily with
her clay, but behind a curtain M. Ri
cardo was as busy at work ana to
much better purpose. Ricardo, in tho
slang of Paris, was a ghost" of which
genus there are many who help ladies'
to make pictures, statues and novels.

A Cricket Fight.
On The DaY'S Lesson

The Chinese love of gambling finds
vent in many strange ways, one Of the
most curious being combats between
crickets, on which large sums of
money are staked and won or lost.
Before entering them for a fight their
owners make the crickets undergo a
regular training. When caught they
are placed in a bamboo cage and fed
with rice and green stuff. After a few
days they are taught to fight by meas
uving their strength with veteran.
After a number of trials the cham
pions are selected for their appear
ance in public, and the betting begins.
The combatants are placed facing
each other, and their trainers tickle
their heads with a straw until their
anger is thoroughly aroused, when
they make a dash at one another.
The victory is decided in the first
round, the vanquished cricket, if still
alive. crawling away quite detected,
while the victor struts about and cele-

Livinsstones their warranty The nameless
saints who heal the wounds OF the world
and would blush to give their deeds
name, are the joy and crown of the Bride

themselves the lowlest duties. who claim
in modest retirement their alliance with

very hour the salt the leaven, the preser-

Both these methods of solitude and serv-
ice centre in Jesus Christ. He is. our I'M

the real self of men is revivified and rein
forced. And as we appropriate His life
and His example we make our largest
gains in the infinite. the eternal, the holy
and the good. In Him we are commended,
redeemed and called unto this fellowship.
When governing forces around us are
brutal, when certain aspects OF national
existence are without moral CLEAN, when
practical infdelity displays its lures and
vices catch the unwary, how should we or

primarily needs is not changed environ

I noticed on our homeward voyage that

Hobson's Choice.

Burn a cork at one end and keep it
clean the other. You are then to be
blindfolded, and the cork is to be held
horizontally to you. You are then to
be asked three times which end you
will have. If you say right" then
that end of the cork must be passed
along your forehead. The cork must
then be turned several times, and
whichever end you say must next be
passed down your hose and the third
time across your cheeks or chin. You
are then to be allowed to see the sue
cess of your choice.
This will afford a good deal of fun
and should be played fairly, to give
the person who owns the forfeit a
chance to escape.

The birds would not leave their

The Rev. DR.. Charles Wood of Phila

the excellent authority of Mr.. Booker
T. Washington" A negro had a
dream in which he thought he visited
purgatory. He was telling friend
about it next morning, when the
friend interrupted him, asking:
.'Was there any niggers there?"
"Yaas, sir, there was lots of them,' -
was the reply.
"Any white men?" IN
"Yaas, sir, lots Of them"
"What were the white men doing?"
every one of them was holding q

the dreamer.
