Rest in Christ.

Coming to Christ, We enter into the
rest Of faith. The very act of trust
brings tranquility, even when the per-
son or thing trusted in is human or
creatural, and therefore uncertain.
For to roll the responsibility from my
self, as it were, upon another brings re-
pose; and they who lean upon Christs
strong arm do not need to fear, though
their own arm be very weak.
The rest Of faith, when we cease
from having to take care Of ourselves,
when we can cast all the gnawing cares
and anxieties that perturb us upon
Him. when we can say, Thou dost
undertake for me, and I leave myself
in Thy hands," is tranquility depeer
and more real than any other that the
heart of man Gun conceive. Thou wilt
keep him in perfect peace whose mind
is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth
in Thee
Cast yourself upon Christ, and live
in that atmosphere Of calm confidence;
and though the surface may be tossed
by many a storm, the depths will pc
peace subsisting at the heart OF end
less agitation.'-Alexande Maclaren.

Many good>things have been reported
of our noble President, but none more
beautiful than this: On the day of the
funeral of Secretary Hay, the Presi-
dents train left Cleveland shortly after
noon. IN the hurry there was no time
for lunch. At Wheelock's Switch the
train had to lay over for a little, and
the President asked that the lunch be
spread on a beautiful plot of grass
close by the train. When all were
seated around the cloth, the President
arose to his knees and asked the bless
ing of God on the simple repast thus
prepared. In this quiet, out-Of-the-way
place, the President Of the United
States, leading his Cabinet Ministers
in asking the blessing Of God upon
their food as they were seated on the
grass by the wayside, is a scene worthy
of the painter, and brings him nearer
to the hearts of the people than many
of the scenes heralded and %applauded
the world over.-Nashville Lutheran.

With no more piety than other people,
A davis not reckoned a religious bird
Because it keeps a-cawinG from a steeple.
Forms are by no means confined to
liturgical churches. A printed prayer
is less formal than n which differs
in phraseology each time it is uttered,
If the first come from the heart and tine
latter from the head. Some n thus
confesses and questions and deduces:
/ often say my prayers.
But do l ever pray!
And do the wishes of my heart
Go with the words | say?
Words without the heart
The Lord will never hear.
Nor will He to those lips attend
Whose prayers are not sincere.
Spiritual forces are all about US, per-
vasive as the subtle element we call
electricity. The power Of goodness is
the concentration of this energy with
in ourselves, so as to make 1t radiant
for good to others. We are in good
form. We have taken Christ to be
our Prophet and listen to His teach
ings. We recognize Him as our priest,
accepting the atonement He offers. is
He our King Whom we obey, in whose
strength we 60 out to fight fearlessly!
Because hypocrites exist is no reason
why you should be a coward. Let US
not hesitate to say what we mean.
Let US determine to mean what we say.
A form of goodness may speak
words Of sympathy to mourners, OF
warning to evil doors, Of hope to raf-
ficted enes. But the power is not
there. 1t is voice, voice; nothing
more" Although ministering to the
! self-complacency Of the speaker, it
| ministers to no one else. The form OF
goodness lacks substance. The fimsi-
ness is revealed when its wearer needs
| sustaining power. 1t is no rod and
| staff to comfort when the valley OF
| the shadow Of death is to be trod.
1t has no light to shed when a man
comes to the forks Of the road and
knows not which way to take. 1t may
| fool him for a while here. Its hollow
ness is apparent on his first arrival IN
the world that knows no shams.
The power of goodness is profitable,
| both for the life that now is and for
| that which is to come. Its possessor
has "the tongue of the taught that he
may sustain with words him that Is
weary" may "reprove, rebuke, e1hort,
| correct" A man is behind the voice
| and Christ is behind the man. In
| times Of trouble. it supports unfailing-
ly. When the souse is darkened and
the friends make their pitiful attempts
to condole, they are an%ticipated'by the
| God of all comforts.
He whose form Of goodness is val
idated by it's power, with unblanched
| cheek, with firm confidence, faces each
| crisis Of life, the supreme crisis OF
death, knowing Whom he has believed,
persuaded that He is able to keep
| what Is committed to Him throughout
eternity.

General InutIlity Boy.

We Are Not Orphans.

We are living out these lives OF ours
too much apart from God. We toll on
dismally, as if the making or the mar
ring of our destinies rested wholly
with ourselves. 1t is not SO. We are
not the lonely orphaned creatures we
let ourselves suppose ourselves to be.
The earth, rolling on its way through
space. does not go unattended. the
Maker and Controller of it is with 1t,
and around upon it. He is with us
here and now. He knows US infinitely
more thoroughly than we know our
selves. He loves us better than we
have eve dared to believe could be
nossible-William R. Huntington.

Literature For COnvalescents.

For reading during convalescence
the British Medical Journal would
prescribe literature that cheers but
does not inebriate, and would contra
indicate writers whose style. like that
of George Meredith, puts a constant
strain on the understanding of the
reader, or, like that of Mr.. Maurice
Hewlett, irritates by its. artificial gilt
ter, or, like that of Marie Corelli, an
noys by its frothy impertinence."
Dickens should 60 well during conva-
lescence-except "Pickwick," at least

side-splitting episodes which would
play havoc with the union Of parts

is quite innocuous, but we should be
cautious in recommending it, in order
that the patient may not, thereby be
led to mediate upon a misspent career,
and to have suggested to him. all the
opportunities in life he might have
grasped but did not. A dependency
might thus be induced which would
delay a restoration to health, and
which might wen prove fatal. Thack'

Would it not indeed? What palmer

Proper Use of Curling Irons.

The use OF curling irons that are too
hot is a great source of injury to the
hair. They should be used only warm,
and held i'm the>hair until the moisture
is entirely dried out. then the process
produces a lasting curl. A properly
heated iron will also promote rapid
growth, as the warmth acts upon the
hair as the sun does upon plant life.
