Links In Gods Providence.

John Clough, whom readers Of the
RAMS Horn have been aiding in his
extended missionary labors in India,
little thought when he was studying
engineering, solving perpleXlng prob
lens, surveying land, building a rail
way, and making roads, that he was
forging links in Gods providence for
the salvation Of Pen thousand Telugus
in one year. This knowledge Of eng-
neering led him to apply for the Gov
ernmcnt contract for building n canal.
He employed five thousand natives,
and preached for one month on the
same text. God so loved the world"
Then he dismissed the first five thou
sand and employed five thousand more
for the next month, and AT the end Of
the year there were 10000 Telugus
ready TO be baptized. And all that
hinged upon Clough's knowledge Of
engineering.

Happiness I'm Spite of Deprivations.

If am so happy in spite Of my depri-
vations, if my happiness is so deep
that it is faith, so thoughtful that it
becomes a philosophy OF life, my testi-
mony to the creed Of optimism is worth
hearing. My optimism does not rest
on the absence Of evil. / can say with
conviction that the struggle which
evil necessitates is one of the greatest
blessings. 1t teaches US that, al
though the world is full Of suffering,
1t is full also Of the overcoming OF il.
My optimism rests on n glad belief
in the preponderance Of good and n
willing effort always TO cooperate with
the good that it may prevail. l try TO
increase the power God has given me
TO see the best in everything and every
one, and make that best a part Of my
life. To what is good l open the doors
of my being, and jealousy shut them
against what is bad.-Helen Keller.

A Good Mans Humility.

An appeal was made one Sabbath
evening in church for volunteers TO
work for Christ. No sooner was the
appeal made than n Mr.. Ketchum, a
wealthy New York merchant, rose up
and offered his services 10 the pastor.
The minister said, "In what way, Mr..
KetchumT and the reply was, "As n
hOd carrier" What he meant was
that he was willing 90 serve in any
humble capacity in which he could be
most useful. How often have
thought Of that good mans humility.
And God blessed him as afterwards
he went from house 10 house asking
parents to send their children 10 the
