ner ] allowed my beans to parboil. After
dinner prepared them as usual. allied the
fre-box with wood, closed the drafts aud let
them simmer. While getting supper they had
a chance to cook a while longer.
Meanwhile prepared my stove or rather
my hreless. ! took discarded wash boiler
and In the centre placed g box, packing the
cork firmly around it, while the beans we're
piping hot slipped the pot into stout paper
bag, then placed l. in the box. packing the
cork all around 1t and over it to the depth Of
several inches. ! then flled boiler TO the top

Dear Aunt Mad0e;
Such a long time has elapsed since last
contributed to your column, doubtless you
and all the Mutuais have forgotten me, but
cannot resist the prompting to write again,
since lately visited Esther in her beautiful

my childhood home.
AS usual when ! go there I see the old
familiar face of THE ELLswoKTa AMERICAN,
and turn to the NJ. b. column where / always
enjoy reading the letters and the helpful
thoughts by the editor.
As wandered about over the old familiar
places, through the orchards and by the
brookside, agreed with Aunt Maria, who
said in a recent letter; "Ah, those child
hood homes with father and mother, how soon
they become Just memory; something must
be left out of life when there is no such old
home 70 remember"
The birds sang in the branches
With sweet familiar tone,
But the voices of the children
VIII be heard In dreams alone.
And the boy who walked beside me,
He could not understand
Why closer in mine, ali. closer,
pressed his warm, soft hand"
hope that all you who have such dear old
homes TO remember may be privileged to visit
them at this "old Home" season. would
like very much to join you in your reunion.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.


BY REV. S. II. Doyle.
TcpIc.-Spiritu bn.sdness --John tx. IS
Il; Acts XVI LIS.
Physical blindness Is justly consider
81 one OF the greatest Affections that
can befaI any one in this life II re-
luires no proof TO substantiate this
belief The blessings Of sight are
smong our greatest bees ug. and to
lose them is one of the greatest caianli-
ties that can befall us. But even the
lack Of physical vision is net to be
compared to tie lack of spiritual
vision. II il is calamity not 10 see
the beauties Of the world which God
has made, how much greater a calami-
ty Il is not to be able to see God Him
self So with all The spiritual realities,
to which material things do not com
pare.
Yet spiritual blindness Is a common
disease. even among those who have
the best physical sight. DIR. McCosh
once said that the people of the world
could be divided into three classes
a. Those whose eyes are open; they see
God at all times. 60 Those whose eyes
are 0pcaed at times and closed at 9th
crs: they see God in prosperity but
ave no vision Of Him In adversely.
@ Those whose eyes are closed. They
10 not see God at all. To which one OF
these classes do we belong A sad fact
about spiritual blindness is that 1t is
often not realized. The physically blind
are most conscious Of their afiliction.
but the spiritually blind are often igno-
rant of their condition. which makes
1t all the more lamentable.
The Pharisees were blind and did not
know it. They we're living in sin. a
sign Of spiritual blindness, yet We're ig-
norant of the fact. and some of them
said to Christ, Are we also blind?'
1t Is well for us to examine ourselves
as to our true spiritual condition and
In different spirit TO ask. Are we
also bllndf' If sin abides in US. though
we think we see, we are blind. If we
exalt material things above spiritual
things we are blind. If we are devoid
of faith and do not have the testimony
of the Spirit with our spirits that we
are the children of God we are blind.
II blind, let rs discover the fact and IN
Christ find sight He came to give
spiritual vision in place Of spiritual
blindness. He is able to open our eyes
and to give us wonderful visions of
God, of Himself and OF all spiritual
things. This was His mission upon
earth, and for no sincere heart VIII He
refuse spiritual sight.
