What a test it is Of ones sweet

A dear girl whose thoughts are

who holds the fruits. of her talents as
something to be lavishly Shared with
others, went down on the streetAcar

going together to listen to lecture on
birds.
II have to make my visit to the
oculist first" she said, "but that
won't take very much time"
It was only about noon, while
waiting for the return suburban car,
that we were surprised to find this
bright faced girl in the small station
evidently watching for the same car.
why, what are you doing here?"
she was asked. you've changed

you?"
The girl laughed. They've been
changed for me" she said. Il hadn't
been in Doctor Williams Office two
minutes before he was ordering me
home. Isn't it queer how quickly
anything can develop? There was
not a sign of this particular trouble
when I was there a week ago, but
now I've been ordered home to keep
cracked ice on my eyes the greater
part of the day, and to report to him
again tomorrow, if I don't wish to
have something more serious deVel.

She ended with another little
laugh, but there was a suspicious
catch in her breath at the same time.
cts such an interruption to all
my plans" she said. He says I pos
itively mustn't use my eyes for any
close work for two weeks at least:
and I do so want to finish some little
gifts for special friends to whom
Easter means more than any other
day. But they will have to take the
will for the deed, this year, I can't
do anything at all-only sing to keep
up my courage"
And she had been doing that in the
waiting days since then - shut OF
though she had been from all her
usual bright resources, and spending
the greater part of the day in a
shaded room. Easter morning did
not find her friends opening packets
containing her love-made gifts, but to
some of them an Easter message
came none the less from her. On
that day of ARISING" from petty and
unworthy things, they tried harder
than before to rise above their own
disappointments and griefs, remem-

An Experimental Government.

Mr.. Russell says of the New Zea-
land Government in his SOLDIERS of
the Common Good" in Eyerybody's:
Many of the ideas that they have
since put into practice were very
vague with them when they began,
but one thing seemed clear enough.
They believed that most Of the evils
of the world resulted from the I'M.
even distribution of wealth, and that
they ought to do something to help
the men who were getting too little
to get more. A primitive way to
help was to keep them in good phys
ical condition; so the campaign Of
the new government opened with
bills to improve health"

Often we have to go back on what
we know; facts we are sure about:
1. We know whom we have be-
lieved. e Tim. 1:12.)
Q. We know we have passed from
death unto life. Il John 3:14.)
8. We know that the Son Of God
is come. Il John $500
4. We know that He hears our Pc
titions. Il John 5:15.)
S. We know that the Son Of Man
hath power on earth to forgive sins.
(Matt. $50
6. We know all things work to-
gether for good to them that love
God. (Romans $3.50
7. We know that when He shall
appear we shall be like Him. Il

From the Writings of Great
Preachers.
THE CHRIST.

If we will only let Him take
The sins and ills that press us,
He'll lift the load; yea, He will make
Them into what will bless us:
He'll take the thoughts that wear
Regret, and fear, and care,
Sorrow, and pain, and loss
Transferring every Cross,
If we will only let Him.
If we will only let Him give,
His goodness as a river
Will flow and flow, and we shall live
With an unfailing Giver.
He'll give all needed grace
80 For every time and place;
His very life He'll give,
And with us daily live,
If we will only let Him.

America is rapidly becoming a beer
drinking nation, as during the last
fiscal year it consumed 51,65l,S2es

Many of these saloon customers spend
as much for beer as they do for
bread and meat. The beer makes
them booty and unfit for work, and
gives them no strength or nourish-
