God is Lending.

No room for a discouraged or de-
pressed feeling is left you. If your
sphere is outwardly humble, II it even
appears to be quite Insignificant, God
understands it better than you do,
and 1t is part of His wisdom to bring
out great sentiments in humble con-
ditions, great principles In works
that are outwardly trivial, great char
acters under great adversities and
heavy loads of encumbrance.
Let 1t fill you with cheering and ex-
allied feeling, however deep in OBJ
scurity your lot may be, that God is
leading you on, girdlng you for a
work, preparing you for a good that
is worthy of His divine magnificence.
II God is really preparing us all to
become that which is the very highest
and best thing possible, there ought
never to be discouraged or uncheer-

Parents and Children.

The infllcting of punishment is d
serious and solemn thing, and al
though many recognize this, a large
number do not, but punish careless
ly with a light heart. Punish
ment" means literally pain" and
should not lightly be caused by man
to his fellow-man.
To inflict punishment Is undoubt-
edly requisite. Those who have to
be trained are certain at times to
fall into error, either ignorantly,
carelessly or wilfully. The punish
ment meted out should be less in
kind, as we'll as In degree for the
two former, than for the latter. and
we ought to think carefully, and
really ascertain before deciding
that fault was committed wilfully.
We need a word of training in
these matters ourselves before we
are competent to train others, and
we shall probably all be ready to
admit that we are daily learning
with, and through, and from the
young ones whom God has put in our
care.
How manv there are who feel
those difficulties intensely, and, from
being in a position of compulsory
authority. how many become some
what naughty in manner or spirit,
even overbearing and tyrannical! If
this spirit grows upon us, we shall
not succeed in training, though we
may succeed in Furnishing those
under our care. A wrong spirit in
us will certainly produce a wrong
spirit in them. This is probably the
secret of much failure to induce
good results from punishments.
More especially does it happen in
dealing with older girls or boys or
adults. Then we must remember
that we are dealing with sinful ma
lures prone to evil, which fact we
know by our own bitter experience.
We are dealing with human beings.
with strong individual proclivities
which cannot be overcome in day.
l believe that nothing will disarm
hostility and bring down a defiant
spirit in boy or girl. or even child,
like frank confession of our own
difficulties or mistakes of which we
may be feeling conscious--for this
very good reason, that the child
probably knows 1t as we'll as we do!

ordination. annoyance, or insolence
on the child's part. A test of ones
sincerity in this matter Is to note
whether the punishment or reproof
gives you as much pain to admins
ter as 1t does the child to receive.
8. Lastly, there is the golden ad-
vice and command of the Bible
considering thyself, lest thou also
be tempted" Let us remember that

THE CITY OF GOD.

Wherein no foot Of man as yet has trod,

And there a palace for each mortal waits,
Complete and perfect, at whose outer

An angel stands it's occupant to greet.

The Prayer That Prevails.

1t has been said that every true
prayer has foreground and a back
ground. The foreground of prayer is
an intense, immediate desire for
something which seems necessary to
the soul; the background is the
earnest desire that the will of God,
whatever it may be, shall be done.
Leave cut the foreground, and there
Is danger of fatalism. Leave out
the background, and only an express
