The Hope In Christ,

You ask me what my hope is. 1t is
that Christ died for my sins, in my
stead, in my place, and therefore, l
can enter into life eternal. You ask
Paul what his hope was. Christ died
for our sins, according to the Scrip
lures" This is the hope in which died
all the glorious martyrs of old.
Take the doctrine of substitution out
Of the Bible, and my hope is lost.
With the law, without Christ, we are
undone. The law we have broken, and
it can only hang over our head the
sharp sword of justice. Even II we
could keep 1t from this moment there

A Vanderbilt Cousin Earns Livins
by Making Little Ones Happy

A Vanderbilt Cousin Earns Twins.
by Making Little Ones Happy.
Still living in New York, though So
ciety no longer is officially aware of
her existence, is a distant cousin of the.
Fanderbilts, who once had enough mon
ey to make her willing to acknowledge
the relationship, but who now says
nothing about it, because she has to
earn her living, says the New York
Press.
However, the Vanderbilt blood be-
trays itself clearly, as it did in the case
OF the old commodore, so far as money!
making ability goes. That is to say,
this distant cousin has followed no
beaten track in providing livelihood.
She calls herself an hourly nurse, and, i
lest it be supposed her occupation has
to do with persons afflicted with brief
but regular attacks OF illness, it must
be added she has nothing to do with
invaljds. Children are her charges,
and her calling differs from those of
the governess on one hand and the
nursemaid on the other along we'll de-
fined lines
She has no dealings with members
of the circle in which she once moved.
Her employers are persons in a smaller
way of life. She goes to homes where
In regular nurses are not employed
and, at 50 much an hour, takes the chill
dren abroad for an airing. There are
many young couples in Manhattaa
apartments who, while not prosperous

are unwilling to let their youngsters

In of the Vanderbilts and takes the
little ones to Central Park or another
playground, keeping them out from one
to three hours, as desired She is paid by
the hour, and she has adjusted her time
so that as soon as she is through with
one family for the day she is ready to
take another batch of small fry abroad.
The children are benefited, the mother
gets as many hours Of rest as she is
willing to pay for and the hourly nurse
not only makes more money than she
could get as a stenographer or book
Keeper, but earns 1t in about the health

1t is yours not to repress curiosity but
10 direct IL" That is very well said.
Two objectionable wrongs are done to
children in this and every other coun-
try. One is to get them up In the morn
Ing before they have had their sleep
out aud the other Is to be impatient
with their questions Some children
are considered ounces, but It Is because
their teachers are ounces. Almost ev.

useful knowledge, il the teacher would
only approach him on that side.
