Little Jacks PRAYER.

Five-year-old Jack is very BRAY c
in the day time, but an awful coward
when it is dark. The other night
after having prayed for all his rel;,-

supplicatiOn in the following words
''And, oh, dear Lord, do take care
of little Jack when 1t gets dark and
the light Is all gone, don't let any
thing hurt him; please don't let any
thing get him.
Then changing his tone to a very
cheerful, confident one, he said:
"You needn't bother about him in
the day time; just let him alone
and he can haze y good time and take

and 2S days, after having suffered fol
nearly three weeksfrom an attack OF
broncho-pneumonia.
Safely, safely gathered In,
Far from sorrow, far from sin,
No more childish griefs or fears,
No more sadness. no more tears;
For tho life SO young and fair
Now hath passed from earthly care;
God Himself the soul will keep,
Giving His beloved sleep.
Safely, SAFELY gathered in,
Far from sorrow, far from sin;
Passed beyond all grief md PUN,
Death for thee Is truest gain;
For our loss we may not weap,
Nor our loved ones long to keep
From the home of rest md peace,
Where oil sin and sorrow cease.
Safely, safely gathered in,
Far from sorrow, far from sin;
God has saved from weary strife.
In Its dawn, this fresh young life;
Now 1t waits for US above,
Resting in the saviour's love;
Jesu, grant that we may meet
There, ndoring, at Thy feet.
