A PENCIL FOUND IN HIS STOMACH

Surgeons of St. Vincent's hos
pital, New York, were greatly sur
prised when, on performing an
operation for appendicitis on
Timothy Kelcher, the other day,
they found a lead pencil four
inches long in the mans stomach.
Keicher had been at the hospital
for four days, and gave every
symptom of a man suffering with
appendicitis. When the man re-
gained consciousness after the
operation he was as much sur
prised as the doctors to learn that
pencil had been taken from his
stomach and could not explain
how it got there. The physicians
believe that he swallowed it in his
sleep.

THE BIRTHDAY OF OUR KING.

The Christmas season draws
near-what gifts are you prepar-
ing for the Birthday of our King?
Is the widows name OF your list?
and the fatherless little ones?
Will their portion be the largest
of your Christmas money, Or will
you reserve it for those from
whom you will expect gifts and to
whom you feel in duty bound to
return? Will you remember the
"shut-ins?" These lonely ones
can be made happier by some lit
tie remembrance from you? Will
you think Of the post-man, for
whose whistle you have listened
each day SO eagerly? And the
faithful little newsboys, coming
through rain or shine; the deliv-
cry boys, and the milk man.
"Lest we forget" one of these who
has served us, put them down.
JUST ONE.
Just one good deed, and though others
ne'er know it,
Angels will carry it up to the Throne ;;
At the hereafter Christ7s record will
show it.
Fed thou the hungry? Come hither,
mine own.
just one kind word, and though others
ne'er guess it,
Angels will chant it at vespers
tonight;
At the hereafter Christ's promise will
bless it.
Cheered thou the weary? Stand
thou on my right.
SOME FACTS TO THINK ON.

under the shadow of our churches
who are never visited by O Chris

salvation
There are people who are too
poor to dress we'll enough Gas they
think and are sometimes made to
feel) to go to the services of the
church.
Everywhere there are new-com-
ers who are lonely and longing for
a Welcome and fellowship among
good people. We would not lay
less stress on the Importance of
missionary work in, the foreign
field, but we would emphasize the
the Importance of real missionary
efforts around our own doors. A
good introduction into what we
should be doing in this
field would be an investigation
into these conditions. Here are
missions within reach of all.
