LOVED FROM SIN.
The Story of How One of Gen. Booths
Daughters Won an Outcast
of Paris Slums.

The frail daughter of Gen. Booth had
preached her sermon and told her story
night after night in a crowded room in
the city of Paris, only to be Knocked ami
jeered by those who came to crowd
about her. At last, one night with break.
ing heart she came down from her plat
form, walked through the crowd. and
said to a poor fallen girl who sat in the
rear seat, as she took her face in her
hands and bent over and kissed her: MY
dear sister, l would to God that | could
love you to Christ"
Pure lips like those had not touched
her cheek for many ayear. She raised
her face, instantly started to her feet.
and then staggered from weakness down
the hall, and fell, the first one, at the
penitent form. She came that night to
know Christ as her Saviour, and stands
to-day as n of the leading Salvation
Army officers in that same country.
If you were to ask her whatit was that
led her to know the Christ. she would
answer: Il was loved out of my sin into
the kingdom of God"
There is a verse in Isaiah which de-
clares: Thou hast in mercy delivered
my soul from the pitt the marginal
reading of which is: "Thou hast in
mercy loved up my soul from the pitt

HOW HE LEARNED TO SWIM
DR.. Torrey Tells a Story of His Boy
hood Days and Draws a Les
son Therefrom.

l remember how l learned to swim. l
lived in my boyhood, till was about ten
years of age, near Seneca lake, a beau
tiful sheet of water. l could not swim,
but | meant to learn.
So l got a book on the art of swim
ming. | remember to this day how that
book looked; l can see the pictures in
it yet. There were diagrams telling you
how to lie down on the floor and go
through the motions till you mastered
them. I didn't tell anybody had the
book; but l would 90 up to my bed
room, get down on the floor, and go
through all the motions. Then said:
Il have mastered it."
Down | marched to Seneca lake and
jumped in and swam-right to the bot
tom.
"Oh," l said, this thing will never do
in the world! Il will never learn how
to swim"
Finally, my elder brother said one day:
IF YOU would just jump in you would
swim"
1 jumped in, %floundered around the
best | could, and swan a little bit.
The next day l went further; the
next day | swan about 20 feet; and to-
day l suppose l could swim ten miles,
if | didn't get cold-at least, am just as
much at home in the water as on the
land.
How did l learn to do it? By doing
it. And that is the way with Christian
work. Learn to 90 it by doing 1.-THE

. TRULY CHRISTIAN WAR.
How the Converted Chief OF a NADIA
gascar Tribe Won His Belliger-
emit Heather Neighbors.

Now that the far east Is the theater
of a war that promises to be long and
bloody, it may be of interest to recall
the story of a war which was carried
on very differently. A missionary from
Madagascar is responsible for the tale:
The Kora tribe had been converted
| from heathenism to Christianity. Ger
tain neighbors Of the Koras, the Saka-
lava people, were very troublesome. At
last forbearance ceased to be a virtue.
and 1t became necessary to teach them
a lesson. There must be war, they
concluded. But it vas the first time
the Koras had one to war since they
had become a Christian people. and
the prime minister reminded them
that it must be carried on in a Chris
tian manner. Therefore, beside the
usual military drill native pastors were
busily at work among the soldiers, in
structing them that there must be no
needless ~bloodshed, no carrying off OF
] slaves, nc stealing or the other wrong
things that commonly went with war.
That there should be no temptation to
rob innocent villagers, a fund of
money was raised that the soldiers
might honestly pay for whatever they
should need while in the enemy's
try. Prayer meetings were also held
daily for the right conduct and speedy
termination of the war.
The instructions were faithfully car
ried out, says Sophie Bronson litter
ington, in Young People. The Saka-
lava villagers were astonished at the
unusual conduct of the invaders.
what strange enemies are these?"
they asked. They will not take so
much as an egg without paying for It,"
At last the two armies faced each
other. The commander-in-chief, who
was the nephew of the prime minister.
wished to see what a parley would ac-
complish. He arranged a meeting be-
tween himself and the chief of the
offending tribe, and explained to him
why he wished, If possible, to avoid
| bloodshed.
The chief quite misunderstood his
motives. "You are afraid to fight" he
sneered.
AT Wndt price VIII you sell me yOn'
der bullock" answered the com
mander. The price was given. The
commander paid the mount asked, and
then aimed his gun at the animal.
you can't kill it at that distance"
was the sneering remark. The shot
was fired and the bullock fell dead.
"Now, my friend" said the Kora
commander, "a goou many of my men
are quite as good shots as l am. What
do you think as to your chance in bat
tle?"
1--WE would all be dead men," an,
swered the chief, and his words were
echoed by the soldiers that stood
around him. The parley was followed
by a declaration of peace. the chief
saying:
I'VE accept your conditions. and
thank you for the way in which you
have treated us. Cannot some of your
men stay and teach us the religion
that makes enemies into friends?"
Thus ended what may truly be called
a most Christian war.

After a Canning Factory.

Port Gibson capitalists are to
organize a canning factory. A meet
ing looking to this end is to be held
at that place this week. There are
a number Of canning factories in the
State and all of them seem to be
in a prosperous condition and earn
ing good dividends on the amount
of capital invested. In this way the
surplus fruit and vegetables are pro-
vided with a splendid market at
good, remunerative prices. Canning
factories are fine things for truck

Unrecognized Service.

Self-sacrifice at its best seeks no rec
ognition. 1t is content with having done
its work. But many who give up much
for others seem unwilling to think the
sacrifice complete until some notice has
been taken of it. True self-sacritice does
not at all concern itself with returns. 1t
rather r~ejoices in the unknown service
and the unheralded act of spending for
others with no thought of self. To those
who have this spirit the world turns for
help and strength. 1t is of one such as
these that Whittier wrote:
"A full rich nature. free to trust.
Truthful, and almost sternly just,
Impusive, earnest, prompt to act.
And a. her generous thought Il fact,
Keeping with man. a light disguise
The secret of ~self-sacrifce."

Won the Conquest Over Self.

There is a modern story of a merchant
who was devoted to high purposes in
life, who was determined to be a man
free from bondage to the lower things.
One day a ship of his which was coming
homeward was delayed. He became
anxious, and the next day vas yet more
troubled, and the third day still more.
Then he came to himself, awaking to
the true condition of bondage to earthly
things, and said: SIS it possible that |
have come to love money for itself. and
not for it's nobler uses?" Taking the
value of the ship and its cargo. he save
it to charities, not because he wished
to be rid of the money. but because My
thus could he get the conquest oyer kim-
self.

KEEP SWEET.

When the storms of life are raging
So you don't know what to do;
And the black clouds hang so heavy
That you can't see through;
And your life with trouble only seems
replete-
Keep sweet.
When the days been so perplexing
la you feel "as cross as SIM"
And your duties been so many
Scarce you knew where to begin:
And you're weary from head to your
feet
Keep sweet.
When you've laid your plans SO nicely.
And you've tried SO hard to please,
And you find them blown to atoms
By some unexpected breeze.
Leaving nothing in it's wake but de-
feat
Keep sweet.
Are you thoroughly downhearted.
Discouraged, "got the blues
And 1t seems that every moment
Brings a little more bad news.
Till the flood of disappointment nearly
sweeps you off your feet?
Keep sweet.
When the folks you meet all vex you
Just the kline that "grate." you know
ana you Ieel as DldCk as odtdH,
Which your actions plainly show
Would you win a royal battle, and this
situation meet?
Keep sweet.
In the hot and sultry weather
Kind hat sweats your life most out
Or the chilly, icy winter
When you'll freeze without a doubt,
Do you feel one whit the better when
you growl at cold or heat?
Keep sweet.
Is your body weak from sickness.
And your strength so very small:
And it's just one uphill battle
To keep alive at all?
Is your health so much the better
when your ills You oft repeat?
Keep sweet.
When you larder's almost empty.
And your clothes are worn out;
And you haven home nor shelter,
But just have to knock about
Till a meal, and clothes. and sleep
would be a treat
Keep sweet
When you haven't got employment,
And there's not a sight of any;
And you've spent your store of savings
So there's left not cen a penny
And you feel that now disaster is COM
plete-
Keep sweet.
Yes, no matter what's your burden,
Or how hard life is to bear,
When we all get home with Jesus
Twill be made right there.
So, whate'er it is that troubles. just
kneel at Jesus feet
He keeps you sweet
