Loves Labor Lost Indeed.

1t was miBdirected zeal and pa
thence that moved Mrs. Lena Wilson,
of Brazil, Ind, to write a sentence of
eight words 1716 times on one side
of an ordinary postal card. In all
Mrs. Wilson wrote 1928 words, or
6S,640 letters. an average of five let
ters to word. The writing was done
with blue steel pen, and every word
shows clearly under magnifying
glass. 1t has been estimated the
woman spent eight full weeks. or
1914 hours, or S0,640 minutes on
the work. The result certainly does
not justify the outlay. Two solid
months mean six months. working
eight hours a day, and for that Mrs.
Wilson has single postal card,
which Is merely curiosity and of no
artistic value. With an equal amount
of patient labor, Mrs. Wilson might
have produced enough fancy work
to decorate her home, or gained a
working knowledge of language, or
perhaps written a play.-New York

A Truth to Live and Die With.

An old herdsman in England was
taken to a London hospital TO die.
His grandchild would go and read to
him. One day she was reading in
the first chapter of the First Epistle
of John, and came to the words:
And the blood of Jesus Christ. His
Son, cleanseth us from all sin" The
old man raised himself up and
stopped the little girl, saying. with
great earnestness:
"ls that there, my dear?"
-Yes, grandpa"
Then read II TO me again: l never
heard II before"
She read IL again.
You are quite sure that is there?"
Yes. quite sure, grandpa.
Then take my hand aad lay my
finger on the passage, for / want 10

She took the old blind mans hand
and placed his bony finger on the
verse, when he said.
Now, read it to me again.
With soft, sweet voice, she read I:
And the blood of Jesus Christ, His
Son, cleanseth us from all sin. -"
You are quite sure that is there?-
Yes, quite sure, grandpa. "

But he meant 70 fight for his lib

So / let the sleeper nip me twice
on the left arm. Little blood-drops
appeared on the skin, and the Indians
were horrifled. They watched me
narrowly for some time after, think
ing that they would begin to see me
suffering some evil effects.
But that night, after supper and
much talk, Saturnino said:
"Senor, ! am going to prove your
words on myself"
So he went to the bag, got out the
snake by the throat, and made 1t bite
his left arm exactly as had done.
For few moments he looked quite
grave. Putting the snake back In it's
bag, he came over and sat down again
by the fire.

Just then touched the coiled part

he lay with his entire body stretched

Sons of God Now.

Sonship is p present experience.
Our hearts tell us so. THE Spirit Of
God witnesseth with our spirits that
we are the children of God" Sonship
is an inward experience in the soul.
think hear some one say: Per-
haps you may be cheated, and this
feeling you have is only imagination;
give us stronger proof than heart
proof, which may be only passing
fancy. This is the only proof I can
give: / know, as every believer
knows, the Spirit of God is In me, and
this Spirit speaks with the voice of
the Father to my heart. The man
of the world laughs at such an ex-
perience; let him laugh. The things
OF God are spiritually discerned. You
cannot prove the reality of God in
the soul by the rules of logic. The
soul is too big. and God is too vast to
be measured by the littleness of the
unregenerate mind.
AS sons, God speaks to us every
day; this mystical communion is of
great service to our souls; it is by
the inward voice that He inspires our
dropping hearts. When we are car
rying heavy burdens and walking
dark ways the mystic voice speaks
within, saying: Comfort your heart,
My beloved, l will not put upon you
burdens greater than you can bear;
| am your Father, and love you too
| tenderly to cause you undue anxiety"
Listen this morning for the inward
voice, 1t is full of tenderest pity:
Like as father pitieth his children,
so the Lord pitieth them that fear
Him.
There is yet another thought on
this inward experience; we hear in
addition to the inspiration, the voice
Of correction. There are times when
no visible rods are laid upon our
backs, and yet in soul we have felt
beaten with switch of small cords
! the voice whipping up to duty. Who
has not been led to do certain actions
which have brought great glory to
Christ, and yet in the doing of them
our neighbors wondered at our move
ments, and thought us strange, but
we were moved by the Spirit. When
4 man is indwelt by the Holy Ghost
| he lives and moves according to his
/ dictates. AS many as are led by the
/ Spirit of God. they are the sons of
God" and thus by inward experience
we know we are the sons; in addition
to this, however, Scripture plainly
says we are the sons of God. Be
loved. now are we the sons of God"
1t is a delightful thing to long and
to dream about Heaven, but you are
as truly son of God now as you will
be in the other world, NOW are We"
This very moment. now, you are a
son of God; do not wait till you see
the Fathers face to experience His
love have it now, live like a son who
las the best of fathers. There will,
however, be greater realization of
your sonship in Heaven. One day you
will go home TO the mansion prepared
by Christ you will take up your po-
sition on a throne at the Fathers
right hand.-W. Il. Bryce.

The river tumbled noisily by us.

while we sat watching the tossing
