 One more days work for Jesus,
 One less of life for me:
 But Heaven is nearer,
 And Christ is dearer
 Than yesterday to me;
 His love and light
 Fill all my soul tonight.
 One more days work for Jesus.
 How sweet the work has been,
 To tell the story.
 To show the glory
 Where Christ's flock enter in!
 How it did shine
 In the poor heart of mine!
 One more days work for Jesus.
 O, yes, weary day;
 But heaven shines clearer
 And rest comes nearer,
 At each step of the way;
 And Christ in all,
 Before His face I fall.
 O blessed work for Jesus!
 O rest at Jesus feeti
 There toll seems pleasure,
 My wants are treasure,
 And pain for His is sweet.
 Lord. If I may
 Serve another day.
 This light shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The longer the righteous lives, the more light he has and the more he shines to the glory of God.

One day in June my wife and I were making a fifty drive, it was very dusty, and the temperature was 122 in the shade, as we trudged along through the heat and dust, I was tempted to say This is hard way to serve the Lord" but just then I thought of the class-meeting that we would have the next day Sunday, and the face of one of Gods righteous children came before my mental vis- ion. I could see her rise in the meet ing and it seemed to me, I could hear her testimony. which always closed by saying.

 When David Livingston. returned to Scotland after al absence of sixteen years in Africa, the University of GIas- gow desired to honor him by c.,nferring ing the degree of doctor of laws. On such occasions candidates for honor ary degrees usually expect an embar- rassing reception at the hands of the young collegians who are present in full force, bubbling over with boyish run. But when Doctor Livingston ap- peared on the platform, they received him with silent respect and reverence. He was gaunt and weary from expo- sure to sixteen years of African sun and twenty-seven attacks of African fever. One arm having been rendered useless by the bite of lion. hung helpless by his side. There stood a real hero who had fought many a bat tle for humanity, and his presence in- spired feeling of awe in the minds of all present. He told them that he was going back to Africa, partly to open new fields for British commerce, partly to suppress the African slave trade and partly to open the way for the preaching of the gospel. but the senti- ment which stirred all hearts most was this: Shall tell you what sup ported me through all these years of exile among a people whose language l could not understand. and whose at tltude toward me was always uncer- tain and often hostile?
