Succesa For All.

True success is within the reach o. all
men. 1t is to know ard to do Gods viii,
to learn and to follow IN His way. 1t IS to
put our hand cheerfully to the pen or the
blow, whichever Gods providence sug-
gests. In the reekonings OF eternity to
have been a good mason will, count for
more than to have been a bad monarch:
to have walked worthy of the vocation OF
servant will be accounted better than to
have been a selfish sovereign. Lives that
upon earth were despised, but which were
we'll lived, and labor that was counted me.
NAL. but which was we'll performed, will
bear the stamp of divine approval for eter-
nity. Success will be defined in the leX!-
con of heaven as it seldom is in any lezi-
con of earth. As for the dollar mark, 1t
will not be used in the world Of bliss.

CfratcI, Forth Thy Han0.'

"Stretch forth thy hand" You with
that weak hand shortened by the hard cir
cumstances of your life, stretch it forth!
You with that hand drawn up by love OF
self; and you with fingers warped by
t~houghtless, unkind words and deeds,
stretch them forth. With honest purpose,
with unfaltering will, whatever may be its
weakness or its need, Stretch forth thy
hand" And the Christ will look upon it.
He will pity its weakness and deformIty
and 10! as you stretch it forth it will be-
come whole-restored, that you may bless
with kindly deed many a needy one who
waits aud waits-perhaps for you.-M. NJ.

beneficial, while moisture is needed
in other localities. Corn is generally
backward and making slow growth,

is some complaint Of the stand being
unsatisfactory; cultivation is progreG'
