come out sharper than arrows, and they
make terrible wounds. Quite lately I
saw two pretty little doors, and one was
opened and the little lady began to talk
very fast, like this: What stuck-up
thing Lucy Walters is And did you see
that horrid dress made out of her sisters
old one?' oh, yes said the other little
crimson lady from the other door. and
what turned-up nose she has, Then
poor Lucy, who was around the corner,
ran home and cried all the evening"
81 know what you mean" cried Kate,
coloring. Were you Iistening?"
ooh, you mean our mouths are doors!"
exclaimed Harry, land the crimson lady
is Miss Tongue. But who are the guards
and where do they come from?"
"You may ask the great King. This is
what you must say: Set a watch, o Lord,
before my mouth; keep the door of my
lips Then He will send Patience to
stand on one side and Love on the other,
and no unkind word will dare come out"

A STRAW.

| have a friend, a Russian Jew, who
came to this country with his family,
few years ago, I think I may say he is
a convert to the Christian faith; he is
getting along pretty we'll in the Epistle
to the Hebrews, but being educated for
a rabbi, he has many things to unlearn,
and prejudices to outerOw. Strictly
honest in thought and intention, he fire.
quently comes to me with difficulties A
few days ago he was asking in regard to
faith in Christ, he said he accepted His
atonement, and rested In it for saliva
ton, but he could not understand how
so great a being as Jehovah could dwell
in d man Would such faith save his
soul, and would it admit him to men,
bership in the Christian church?
I replied that faith in the atonement
would save him, but that Jesus was
God; that the Holy Spirit was teaching
him, and that he would learn more in
due time.
He said well my son told me that 81
was the best man he knew, and that 1
would make a fine Northern Presbyter-
ian, but that was not Southern Pres
byterian."
His son is a bright boy, but he is on
ly seventeen, and has been in this coun-
