AT LAST.

When on my day of life the night is falling
And, in the winds from unsunned spaces blown,
l hear far voices out of darkness calling
My feet to paths unknown,
Thou, Who hast made my home of life so pleasant
Leave not its tenant when its walls decay;
Love Divine, Helper present,
Be Thou my strength and stay!
Be near me when all else is from me drifting
Earth, sky, homes pictures days of shade and
shine
And kindly faces to my uplifting
The love whichj answers mine.
1 have but Thee, my Father! let Thy Spirit
Be with me then to comfort and uphold;
No gate of pearl, no branch of palm 1 merit,
Nor street of shining gold.
Suffice it if-my good and ill unreckoned
And both forgiven through Thy Astounding grace
1 find myself by hands familiar beckoned
Unto my fitting place;
Some humble door among Thy many mansions,
Some sheltering shade where sin and striving
cease,
And flows for through heavens green expan-
sons
The river of Thy peace.
There, from the music round about me stealing
l fain would learn the holy song
And find at last, beneath Thy trees of healing,
The life for which long.

And lay my cares to rest,
For we'll L know my loving Lord
Will give to me the best.
Then cease thy tossings, oh my heart
And cast thy anchor here;
He keepeth .nem in perfect peace
Who trust Him without fear.
o Jesus Christ, my all in all,
What have I not in Thee
All blessings for the lie that is,
And that which is TO be.
Grace for to-day with all its need,
With all its sin and sorrow;
And yonder in the heavenly land
There's glory for tomorrow.

THE MAGNETIsM on A sUNsHINY NATuRE.

Enthusiasm in life is the great generator of sun
shine. Without living interest in the busy world
and that sympathy of feeling which connects us with
every other living being, not infuse any
warmth into our manners, bring others into sym
pathy with us. Helen Keller, whose sunshiny soul
is sensitive to impressions delicate flower is to
atmosphere in her "Story of Ny Life" writes: "The
touch of a hand may impertnence while that
of another is like benediction. / have met people
so empty of joy that, when clasped their frosty fin
ger-tps, it seemed if I were shaking hands with
northeast storm. Others there whose fingers have
sunbeams in them; their grasp warm my heart"

1t is as natural for us to be attracted toward
shiny natures it is for flowers to turn toward the
sun. In spite of life of almost constant illness
Robert Louis Stevenson charmed all who came under
his influence by his Spontaneous cheerfulness and abb
solute freedom from all shadow of bitterness or repn
ing He found the keynote of each day in this sim
pie prayer born of his own inspiration: "The day
returns, and brings the petty round of irritating
concerns and duties. Help us to play the man; help
us to perform them with laughter and kind faces
cheerfuness abound with industry Give us to 90
bthely on our business all this day, bring to our
restng-beds weary and content and undshonored and
grant us in the end the gift of sleep."-Success

WHO HATH BEGOTTEN US AGAIN UNTO A

In Scottish valley, beside little brook where

tree OF course it wilted and dropped. But sud-

start In life and bore rich fruit What was the source
of its life? That was the query put bv all who
knew it. An examination revealed the secret With
marvellous vegetable instinct it sent out shoot
which ran along and a narrow sheep bridge and
rotted itself in the rich loan the other side the
brook. From this rich loan it drew its life Even
