The Infa1lible Hands.

A lady, who had been three or four
years away from her childhood's home
and settled in one Of her own, was
taken seriously i'll. Her mother, with
all q mothers solicitude, was anxious
to be with her daughter at once, and
hastened to her bedside. She found
skilful physicians in attendance and
trained nurse in charge; there was
really nothing for her to do-nothing
that she could be permitted to do. Day
after day she made brief, silent visits
to the sick room, even her presence
could not be allowed long, and went
away powerless to aid. The minister
ing was in wiser, more efficient hands
than hers, and she could not be trusted
with it-would not have dared to trust
herself with it.
"But it seems strange" she said
sadly one day, sthat even I, her mother,
can only stand aside and do nothing.
There never before was a time when
mother wasn't the one to help and
comfort; it seems as if it ought to be so
still, and yet I would be afraid to do
anything. but keep hands off and trust
to a knowledge and strength that is
greater than my own,
It is the same in many spiritual
crisis through which we see our dear
ones pass. We long to shift the bur.
den, to tighten the trials, to bestow the
coveted gift; but the Great Physician
holds the precious soul in His hands,
the hands that will make no mistake,
and we can only stand aside and trust
Him.

Lent to the Lord.

The Rev. George Gilfllan, the emf
nent divine, was distinguished for his
generosity and largeness Of heart. On
one occasion he met member Of his
church whom he had not seen at wor-
ship for a long time. Reminding him
of the fact, the minister asked what
was wrong.
81 did not like to come in a coat I
am ashamed Oft is so BARE" an
swered the man.
The minister instantly divested him
self of his own coat, and handed it
to his distressed parishioner.
"There, my man, let me see my coat
every Sunday until it becomes bare,
and then call back"
The worthy divine then returned to
his studies in his shirt sleeves; and his
wife, observing him, asked what he
had done with his coat.
81 have just lent it to the Lord!' was
Gilfllan's noble answer.

She is being sought by over 100 res

taking place she promised that those

instruments Of God.

Evan Roberts, the miner Of only
tweny-six years Of age, whom God
has been using so wonderfully in what
has come to be known as the "Welsh
Revival" is a man Of great simplicity
and modesty. At one large meeting
he went out because the expectancy
and curiosity had become too great.
That meeting proved to be one Of the
most nightly influential gatherings
of any held in the region. When Mr..
Roberts left, young girl rose, and, as
if inspired, demanded of the people:
Whom are you after, Evan Roberts, or
Jesus Christi"
Who, after all, is Paul, or Peter, or
Apollos, or Augustine, or Luther, or
Wesley, or Moody, or Evan Roberts,
but a minister by whom men believe?
