aThe Living Look"

Some years ago we witnessed a pub
lie examination Of class Of little girls
at the end of the school term. The
distractions of much dressing and
much company operated pretty severe
ly on the tickle memories of the chill
dren. One little friend lost herself in
confusion and stammered to a dead
stop in her recitation. Just then her
mother moved from out the crowd and
took a seat in full view of the little
one.
The loving look Of that silent face
brought order out of confusion. Mind
and tongue Immediately resumed their
functions. everything was lost sight OF
and the lessons all came back in per-
feet order. The examination was I'm
ished in triumph.
Many a time since then as we have
seen some struggling heart confused
by the worlds noise and temptation
we have felt like bidding it look up
into the familiar face Of the Heavenly
Father and be reassured that all Is
well. Not only is there life in a look
at the beginning, but there is assur-
ance and confidence all along the way.

The Thing Worth While.

I know that many Of you are puzzled
to know in what direction you can
start to help Christ to help the world.
Let me say this to you in that connec'
ton:
Once I came to a crossroad in the
old life and did not know in which
direction God wanted men to heip
hasten His kingdom. 1 started to read
the Book to find out what the ideal life
was. and l found that the only thing
worth doing in the world was TO 90
the will of God: whether that was
done in the pulpit or in the Sums;
whether it was done in the college
or class room, or on the street. did not
matter at all. "My meat and drink. >.
Christ said. rs to do the will OF Him
that sent Me-" and if you make up
your mind that you are going to do
the will of God above everything else.
it matters little in what direction you
work
There are more posts waiting for men
than there are men waiting for posts
Christ needs men in every community
and in every land;> it matters little
whether we go to foreign lands or
stay at home, as long as we are sure
we are where God puts us.-Henry
Drummond.

Mr.. F. A. Vanderlip, in Scribners
Magazine, says: "One Of the most
striking differences bSsyeen Europe
and America is the persistence of ra-
cial types there and here the tendency
to amalgamate all races into the Amer
lean. Time seems to bring only in
creased bitterness to racial antago-
nisms in Europe, while with US the
third generation, at the outside, Is
completely merged into the American
type. l never have been able to up-
derstand just what it is that keeps the
rancor of races at such virulent
pitch among near neighbors in Eu-
rope, when those same races will here
renounce language, flag and racial
aspirations, and ioyfully and complete
ly merge into the American-all pa
triotic, all loyal to the Government, all
in a generation more anxious to cover
every trace of foreign characteristics
with the mantle of sovereign American
citizenship than they are to perpet-
uate a single one Of those racial pre-
JUDGES which for generations made
enemies of their fathers"

PROTECTION AGAINST A WITCH.
Law Invoked to Keep Woman From
Supernatural Detective Work.

Once or twice year some extraor-
dinary piece Of evidence finds its way
into the papers Of the survival Of the
most primitive forms of witchcraft,
and of the belief in. the same, in parts
Of Ireland.
AS rnle these cases transpire when
the law is broken by persons ill-treat-
ing the supposed witch, as when last
year an unfortunate woman was held
.on the fire to drive an evil spirit out
1of her.
But the last few days have shown a
novel case. in which the protection Of
the law was invoked to protect certain
persons against witch.
An old Irish peasant woman had suf-
fered from the theft Of small sum
of money. Being unable to discover
the thief or thieves, she had made a
straw image, dressed it up, stuck it
full of pins, and placed 1t on bier,
and proceeded to hold a wake" or
funeral party over it. She then de-
ciared that her intention was to bury
this image, with suitable invocations,
with the certain result that as the
straw of which it was made decayea
away so would the body Of the thief
waste and dwindle.
Certain of the neighbors POSSIBLY
with guilty consciences) asked that the
police might stop this experiment in
witchcraft, as it gave them great un.
easiness.
