A Good Suggestion.

A Vermont game warden, in the current
number OF sporting magazine, says that
the Maine law allowing q hound to be
killed while running deer or sheep is
carried to the United States supreme
conrt, the killer would have to stand for
costs and damages for the value OF the
dog.
"We had such q law in Vermont, and
several Of our wardens got into serious
trouble by shooting hounds running deer.
The law was repealed, and now the own,
or keeper OF hound that runs deer, is
fined, so that it makes it an expensive
luxury to keep such dog

Thu Church. Factory.

No church can live long that lives on
its past, however long that past may
be. A church lives through the supply
OF fresh workers. just as body lives
through the supply of fresh blood cor
puscles. And just as the body must
have a factory-the stomach and the
heart and the lungs-for making the
fresh blood corpuscles and distributing
them where they are needed. so the
church must have a factory for max
ing new workers and fitting them into
their places in the church. the places
that The older church workers are so
rapidly leaving vacant. And so a
society of Christian Endeavor is of
value not in proportion as its mem
beers make eloquent speeches, but as
they are training themselves to speak
for Christ in the years TO come. We
are not 10 consider the amount of their
gifts to missions. but whether they are
training themselves to give literally
aud wisely as their power to give in
creases. We are not to regard the
value of what they do in their commit
tees so much as the efficiency of that
committee work in training them for
similar work when they grow up. And
so of all the rest OF our Christian En-
deavor activities. What is the product
Of our Christian Endeavor factory.
The church has u right 10 know. We
shall be wise if we look to it with
care. Amos K. Wells in Christian En-
deayor World.

THE TAPESTRY wrAyKas.

THE TAPESTRY wEAvERs.
Let us take to our hearts-a iesson-no lesson
can Drawer be-
From the ways of this tapestry weavers on the
other side of the sea.
Above their heads the pattern hangs, they
study it with care,
The while their fingers deftly move, their.eyes
are fastened there,
They tell this curious thing besides of the
patient, plodding weaver:
He works on the wrong side evermore, but
works for the right side ever.
1t is only when the weaving stops, and the
web is loosed and turned.
That he sees his real handiwork. that his
marvellous skill is learned.
Then the master bringeth him goiden.hire,
and giveth him praise well,
And how happy the heart of the weaver is,
no tongue but his own can tell.
The years of man are the loomslof God, let
down from the place of the sun,
Wherein we are weaving ever..tiii the mystic
web is done;
Weaving blindly, but weaving surely, each
for himself his fate.
We may not see how the right side looks; we
can only weave and wait,
But looking above for the pattern, no weaver
hath need TO fear,
Only let him look clear into Heaven, the Per-
feet Pattern is there,
And when the work is ended, and the web il
turned and shown,
He shah hear the voice of tina Master--it shall
say unto him, "Weli done"
And the while winged angels of Heaven. to
bear him thence shall come down,
And God shall give him gold fol. his hire-not
coin, but glowing crown.

for the beautiful spot where ii was held The
view is lovely, the cottage more so the

with its sideboard finished into the side,

living room with. think, six large windows
beside the two doors with glass panels.
There too, we found the fire. place. where
FIRE was lighted by our hostess. Then old
and young drew their chairs near TO it and
exchanged stories. We hardly knew the
rain pouring outside, SO jolly were we on
the inside Now. l don't want you to miss
the chambers, especially the cozy corner. One
of the children said. 81 like this best OF ALL"
l think, only for the fire. places, should have
said the same.
There were many of the older members
present, which always is pleasing to me.
think you will all agree with me that ID. gave
a very fine description of buffalo killing, or
carpet bugs, as some call them. Now let's
hear from more of the older ones as well as
the young. We missed all who had before
met with us, and wished those who never had
attended could have been there.
| Meb, are you lost in the far wests Report
yourself.
| OF Novice must say a word of one whom
| miss in so many places-always cheerfgi
looking on the sunny side Of life. making
others happy By her kind words and deeds.
God knoweth best. 1t is not meet
That we should murmur at His will
It's ours to suffer and be still,
Low lying at His feet.
| He knoweth best. Our blinded ewes.
So dim with unshed tears, can see
| No light athwart the gloom, till He
Shall bid the clouds arise.
| He knoweth best. We cannot tell
| Why He doth sever tender ties;
| We only know that He is wise;
! He doeth all things well.
| He leadeth us from day TO uay;
/ It's ours to follow al the way
And leave to Him the rest.

You will all appreciate AIMS letter,
which has been promised me long time,
and the poem in memory OF Novice as well
as AIMS personal testimony to her worth
