wanted the missionary to visit them

Practically the entire village turned

the people, by. having them repeat the

There is wonderful inspiration to
be gotten from the reading Of the
autobiographies and biographies of
the great men of church and state.
BY following the lives of the men who
have climbed to fame's pinnacle, the
student is enabled to see how those
who we're destined to reach the top,
acted under circumstances ad verse
or favorable. There is such a repor-
toire of characters as to furnish en-
couragement to most any kind of en-
vironed seeker after knowledge and
real reputation. Would that more
of our young people could be induced
to pore owe such works, for the re-
sulting effect on their characters
would be tremendously for better
ment. Such books are much more
profitable than a great deal of slush
over which many waste their time
and intellectual energy. Usually
these biographical works are intense
ly interesting for the reader is ush-
cred on the scene of real history be-
ing acted out by real character OF
established heroic mould. Even
where one reading appetite has be-
come almost entirely perverted to
love of adventurous romance reaoing
a taste can quickly be created for
this better and more profitable kind
of reading by a little disciplining of
the mind with daily chapter readings
in such works. Those who follow
this suggestion should go into it
with the determination to adopt on
~ the good characteristics of the
persons studied. and to reject the
bad and profit by their revealed mis-
takes. We i've in an age of greater
light than many of them and SO of
course are expected to avoid many
petty errors into which they fell I'M
awares.

Let US take time for the goodbye

with sweeter spirit for it.
Let lis take time for the evening

full if we have claimed the guardian

Let us take time to speak sweet,

and-by when they can no longer
hear US, our foolishness will seem
more wise thsn our best wisdom.
Let US take time to read our Bible.
It's treasures will last when we shall
have ceased to care for the war of
political parties, and rise and fall of
stocks or the petty happenings of
the day
Let us take time to be pleasant
The small courtesies, which we often
omit because they are small, will
some day look larger to lis than the
wealth which we covet, or the fame
for which we struggled. 80.
Let US take time to get acquainted
with our families. The wealth you
are accommodating, burdened father,
may be a doubtful blessing to tn
son who is stranger to you. Your
beautifully kept house. busy mother,
can never be home to the daugh-
ter whom you have no time to caress,
=
We know full we'll the air of polite
amazement or amiable increduality
with which men receive the state
ment of a woman's opinion that in
the home partnership the wife, and
not the husband, pulls the laboring
oar. Still it is true, that let man s
business be ever so engrossing, ever
so wearisome, ever so laborious, the
mere fact that he goes to it in the
morning and returns from it at night
sets him above his wife in ease and
comfort. For him the slavery OF
routine has its breaks. He gets a
breath of the world outside: he has
a change OF of scene daily; he sees
people and hears them talk: and his
home is distinctly his refuge and
and shelter. Let wife and mother
love her home and her children with
the most absolute answering de-
votion, and serve them with the
most unselfish fidelity, there are
nevertheless times when she is
weary. She knows better than any
one else the steps aid the stitches,
the same things done over and over,
and the pettiness of the trials that
come to the nursery and: kitchen.
They are SO Insignificant that she is
ashamed to talk about them, and we
fear she sometimes forgets to tell
her Savior how hard they press her;
and so bearing her cross all alone, its
weight becomes crushing. A sun
shiny husband makes merry,
beautiful home, worth working in
and for. If the man is breezy, cheer
| y, considerable, and sympathetic, the
the wife sings in her heart over pud-
dings and mending basket. and
counts the hours Till he returns at
night, and renews her youth in the
security she feels of his appreciation
and admiration.
