ADVANTAGES OF FORESIGHT.
Purpose TO Make Ready for the End
of Life Puts Man Upon His
MettIe.

These three advantages accrue from
the purpose to make ready for the end
Oh life: First, it puts a man upon his
"etue' stimulates his activities, nour-
ishes and treshens them. Nothing spurs
man to his task like the consciousness
Oh the brevity of the time appointed.
The contractor suffers an injury who
Is told to take his own time. Contrari-
wise, the time limit for the expiration
oil his work keeps him up to his best.
unfortunately, many men feel that they
90 not know when their life is to end.
and therefore assume that they have a
score of years. or 80 years, to complete
thelr task. IL every man had a chart
piaced In his hands, so that he knew just
how much time had been allotted him
to work out his purposes, how would he
new to the line, insisting upon finishing
this stint in one month, and a second
stint in the next month.
we know that when Agricola crossed
the Alps into Germany, fulfilling his
emperor's command, he kept his little
handbag always packed, that every
night he footed up his accounts, so that
he could close them upon a moments
notice, and start at once with his dis
patches for Rome. Every prudent man
ought to lay out his life upon that basis,
and with reference TO thoroughness, &C
curacy and faithfulness to his work and
his Master, be ready for the messenger
whose coming is always expected, like
the coming of thief in the night. But
this foresight of life's end is also a but
tress against temptation and safeguard
against evil. What student is not made
more accurate fox the reflection that the
examiner may come at any hour? What
soldier is not the better prepared for re-
Numbering that any moment the trum-
peter may call the charge?
In those last days of the battle before
Richmond, Gen. Grant sent word along
the line that the next would be the last
charge. The knowledge that the end
was approaching and that they must
round out their career as soldiers, was
such a tonic unto men that they COM
peted with e3cii other for the most dan
gerous TASKS and the most difficult
places. WI Paul realized that the
time of his departure was at hand. he
nerved himself fer one more letter, for
one more heroic deed. for one more act
of supreme self-sacrifice, and he hun
gered for the most difficult place of serv-
ice and suffering, as some brave youth
desires with exceeding great desire to
prove his affection to his beloved one.
For all these reasons, therefore. Christ
tried TO incite men TO be ready for the
end of the life career.-N. d. Hills.

opaI, Vow 4, HIub Favor

In spite of the old-time superstition
there seems to be grave doubt about
the ill-luck attaching to opals in the
minds Of the girls of to-day. for opals
are very much worn. There is hardly
a more beautiful stone than the opal.
and jewellers say that If they continue to
win their way in popular favor they will
become more costly. Hitherto they have
been cheaper than their beauty led one
10 expect they would be, but that was be-
cause the superstitution about their III
luck bringing powers made people fear to
own them, and thus the demand for them
was comparatively SMALL An opal sur
rounded by smaller brilliants makes a
charming setting for a ring. The dia-
monds reflect the rainbow tints of the
opal. and the combination of stones is
one which shows the beauties Of both to
best dvantage-Chicago News.

ONE MEANING OF PAIN.
Case OF Little Lad who Underwent
Terrible Suffering Illustrates
Spiritual Truth.

lew years ago mother, carrying a
little dIformed boy, entered the Hos
pitai for Sick Children. After careful
examination the doctor told her that
cure was possible, but the treatment
would be exceedingly painful, and the
child must be given up entirely to the
care OF tie nurse ano himself. Turuirt
TO the lad she said;
You will stay with the doctor and the
nurse, won't YOU. Freddie %
But he had heard the Doctors WORDS
and begged TO De taken home. With all
a mothers Sill she ar.UeG and coaxed
but without avail Freddie only tight
ened his arms about herueck ano begged
10 be spared the ORD al. There were
tears in the mothers eyes ard a sob in
her heart as she plead with him TO sub
nit, and told him of the coming days
when he would be rs straight and strong
as others. But il was useless TO argue,
for he aid not want to be healed at the
price of SO much pain. Then the voice
of the mother assumed a sterrer tone, a
tone which tn child had never heard
before. Firmly uEclaspirg the fingers
that were locAed about her neck, and
lifting the tear-stained face from her
breast, she said:
'FreddiS, you must stay" and hand
ing him 20 the nurse she turned and
walked out of the room. In the next
room she fell upon a couch and wept
with a bitterness that is known only to
the mothers heart
Go to that lad few years hence when
he stands straight and strong among
the athletes and ask him if it was I'M
kind of her to leave him in the hands or
the surgeon and the nurse, and with eyes
aglow with love and voice tremulous
with gratitude he will tell you that he
thanks God for mother who subjected
him to year of pain to win for him a
lifetime of pleasure. 1t is even so that
He who has for us the heart Of father
and a mother too, permits sorrow to do
its work of fitting up for the glory by
and by In all our Affections He is af-
f1icted, and If He is willing to bear pain
for us we should not complain when
He asks us to share 1t with Him.-W. w.
