The Narrow Way.
Matt. 1913, IA.

Narrowness is Christ's idea of the
way OF life, a straitened way, the way
of truth. For a moment pause and
ask: Could it be otherwise? 1t is IL
O'Clock, the orthodox regulator at the
watchmaker's points with exactness
to that hour. VERY narrow" eXclaim
all the cheap timepieces of the neigh
borhood. and they persistently point
to all hours from $50 to midday, but
their boasted liberality is only mex
actness, which is another word for
untruth.
So orthodoxy in the harbor channel
marks with exactness each rock Of
sunken hulk. and puts its danger sig
nails out. A liberal pilot might be
careless OF these signals. but the pas
senger would prefer that the pilot
should be overcautious rather than
too liberal.-H. e. Partridge, Pomo-
ma, Tenn.

A Prayer.

Grant, we beseech Thee, o Lord,
the Giver and Guide of all reason,
hat we may always be mindful of the
nature, of the dignity. and of the
privileges Thou hast honored us with.
Grant us Thy favorable assistance in
the forming and directing our judg-
ment, and enllghten us with Thy
truth, that we may discern those
things which are really good. and,
having discovered them, may love
and cleave steadfastly to the same.
And, finally, disperse, we pray Thee.
those mists which darken the eyes Of
our mind, so that we may have a per-
feet understanding, and know both
God and man, and what to each is
due. - Simpliclus TRANSLATED by
George Stanhope, Dean OF Canter-
bury, 1704.

breakfast Jacket.

The need for a pretty, tasteful and
becoming breakfast jacket always en-
lists, and each new one Is therefore
certain of It's welcome. Here is a very
charming model that Is tucked after
a most satisfactory manner, that has
the Follower collar which is so COM
Portable and the three-duarter sleeves
that are the best of all for garments
of the sort. In the illustration II is
shown made Of dotted challis and
held by ribbon belt, but cashmere,
yelling, all similar light weight ma
terials, the pretty India silks and the
inexpensive wash fabrics that many
women like at all seasons OF the year,
are approprlate,

TabIecIoths.

IN selecting tablecloths remember
that the heavier damask not only
wears longer than lighter fabrics, but
does not crease or rumple so easily.
II also hangs in better lines and Is
more easily laundered.
The first expense, therefore,
should not be considered. 1t is better
to get good quality, even II one
must economic in something else.
In buying table linen, watch the
sales; that is, II you are a good judge
of materials, otherwise deal only
with some one you know and whose
judgment you can trust.-New Haven
Register.

A good example. Acts 8: 36-43.
Christ's garments, taken from Him

when saw we Thee?" we cry
There is no blindness like the in
ability to see Christian opportunity
We have eternal life or eternal
Christlike deeds.
Suggestions.
Successful Christian Endeavor so
cletles exist In about twenty state
prisons. Why not in all?
If there is no penitentiary neaI
you, where you may start society
there is jail, where you may talk
with the inmates, and help them to
an upright life when they leave.
Each Christian, as part OF his
Christian duty and privilege, should
know well some poor family.
What is your attitude toward the
poor? That is your attitude toward
Christ.
Illustrations.
Christian Endeavor may change the
iron of Imprisonment into the gold OF
a Christian faith. There Is no trans
mutation like that.
A man who was freezing in the
snow found another lost traveller. and
in saving him, warmed and saved
himself.
The extra luxuries that make us
sick would keep all the poor well.
Look upon the next poor man you
meet, and say, when Christ was on
earth, it was in such lot as this"
