Sisters of Charity are knOwn. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and

1T is the presence of Christ in our days

though we fail to recognize that Christ
and yield to Him obedience. 1t is the
certainty of Christ in the days to come
which fills them full of hone. 1t is
Christ Who can help you interpret the
days of the past, and it is Christ Who is
able TO help you enter the days of the

successfully. Retrospection without
Christ 10 interpret and reveal the lessons
of the past is a failure. Prospection
without Christ to cheer and encourage
is ~discouraging and perilous. New
Years resolutions without the Christ
as the inspiration and the dynamic force
to execute are sooner or later a sad and
dismal failure. Samuel Johnson gave
expression to this truth when he said:
Il have now spent 55 years in resolving;
having, from the earliest times almost
that l can remember, been forming
schemes of a better life. l have done
nothing" What an admission for a
great man. But we all have to make the
same distressing confession where We
are trying in our strength to make and
keep New Years resolutions. But Sam
uel Johnson did not rest there. His
prayer was finally: 20 God, grant me to
resolve Alright, n to keep my resolu-
tions, for Jesus Christ's sake!" And IL
is right here where every one must enc

would have the days of the past speak

A ND in the speech of the days of the
ture. No one who stands upon the
threshold of the New Year but wonders
what is hidden within its bundle of days.
Man never possesses more than the pres
ent; God is the custodian of the future.
But the days of the past may furnish
something more than a hint sometimes
of what the future will be. The sowing
of the past brings the reaping of the fu-
ture. Do you fear to let the days of the
past speak because they may prophesy
of an unhappy fruitage TO be garnered
from the days of sowing gone by? Per-
haps; but will foolish blindness and re-
fusal to hear the message of the days Of
the past avert the undesirable reaping CT
the future? Nay, verify! Days should
speak. and multitude of years should
teach wisdom" And if we patiently and
humbly receive their message we may be-
able to change defeat into victory, and
failure into success. And what is the
supreme message of the days and the
years? 1t is not of man and his doings,
but it is of Christ and what He has done
for man. The days of Christ upon
earth have not ceased to speak. Christ
the Son of God. Christ the perfect man,
Christ the sacrifice for sin, Christ the
Saviour of the world. And every day
since Christ wrought out the redemption
of man from sin has been laden with the
message of the Christ.

to-days. The words of our text are the

young men of to-day were as modest and

elders. Men of mature years and vener-
able age should speak first, says Elihu.
But in his words there is an implied re-
Duke which is suggestive. 1t is as
though he said to these three aged phil
osophers: The days and multitude of

forth its treasure to add to the life, and
each year should teach its lessons and
bestOw the wealth of wisdom with which
1T has been endowed. But too often the
days melt into weeks, and the weeks are
swallowed up of the months, and the
months are soon lost in the years as they
glide swiftly by, and thoughtlessness
and heedlessness, worldliness and self
seeking rob the days and weeks and

Found Slate Pencil ia Girl.

New York, May 1s.--A piece of slate pencil two and a half inches long and sharpened to a needie-like point has been removed from the right-hand or Roselie Layko, a e-year-old Brooklyn school girl. The pencil had been work ing its way about the child's body since January last, when she swallowed 1t while at play. Efforts to remove 1t from her stomach proved of no avail. and for weeks she has complained of pains in the sides and shoulder. Final iy the object moved down through her arm and caused the hand to swell The doctors were greatly astontshed upon applying the lance and encountering the hard piece of slate. They say there is no record of so large substance passing through the human body in a similar manner.
