Here are some why's" which Au5t

letter. and a new John thinks they should
be presented in the column:
Why win woman, who is clean and a sae
cook. bake pies on an OLD, greasy, rancid plate
and carry them to a grange time, and fuss be-
cause they are not eaten?
Why will women cut up cloth, then sew it
together again. to make quilt, when there
are SO many pretty cloths that one can buy
that would look better? And they'd feel bet
ter if they used the time spent out of doors.
Why is it that we stand mp and make pies
when fruit would be SO much healthier? Why,
to please our Johns. OF course.

HOUR BY HOUR.
One single day
Is not so much to look upon. There is some
OF passing hours Of such a limit We can
face
A single day; but place
Too many days before sad eyes
Too many days for smothered sighs-
And we lose heart
Just at the start.
Years really are not long, nor lives
The longest which survives
And yet to look across
A future we must tread bowed by sense Of
Bearing some burden weighing down so low
That we can scarcely go
One step ahead this is so hard,
So stern view to face, unstarred.
Untouched by light, SO masked with dread.
If we would take q step ahead,
Be brave and keep
The feet quite steady; feel the breath Of life
sweep ever on cur face again.
We must not look across looking in vain
But downward to the next close step,
And up Eyes that have wept
Must lock little way; not far.
God broke the years to hours and days,
That hour by hour
And day by day.
Just going on n little way.
We might De able all along
To keep quite strong.
Should all the weights of life
Be laid across onr shoulders, and the future
rife
With woe and struggle, meet us face to face
At just one place,
We could not go;
Our feet would stop; and SO
God lays little every day,
And never, believe, on all the way
VIII burdens bear so deep,
Or pathways lies so steep,
Sat we can go, if BY Gods power
We oaly bear the burden of the hour.

Our Pledge.

Relying on the Lord Jesus Christ
for salvation"-how grateful these
words must be to our Master, Christ.
as they are said week by week by
hundreds Of thousands of young lips,
It seems as though there is murmur of
such words always rising from the
world like sweet incense which must
do something to counterbalance the
hoarse sounds of blasphemy and rejec-
ton. At times, of course. the murmur
becomes great shout when conven-
ton Of Christian Endeavorers gathers
In tens Of thousands. But probably
there is not single minute in any
part OF the twentyfour hours in which
some voice or voices are not processing
reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ for
salvation. Personally greatly rejoice
In the distinction which is made be-
tween reliance on Christ, for salvation
and the trust for daily strength to live
a goodly and righteous life Salvation
deals with our deliverance from the
power of sin which would hinder our
fellowship with God, while trust for
daily strength looks toward the posi-
tive side of Christian living. in virtue
Of which we are able to do great ex-
ploits for God in the world.-Rev. r.

The temperance question is one Of
the most absorbing ones of the present
day. The fight is ON. and the temper
ance cause up to date has won glorious
success, over one-half of the United
States now being under prohibition or
local option. With such signal success
the movement must be pushed all the
harder by every one interested in rid
ding our country of its greatest curse
fntemperance. The trouble with re-
forms usually is that the reformegs
gradually become tired of their work.
and the old order of things soon pre-
walls. 1t has already been predicted
that the temperance agitation has
about reached its height aud will soon
subside. But such prophecies should
be doomed to failure. With success at
hand, no individual worker, no organ
ization, should abate by jot or little the
most strenuous efforts to completely
overthrow this gigantic evil. 1t has
