SURE CURE FOR WORRY.

Two women were conversing on
the front porch.
81 am so nervous" said one, "and
1 have so many little things to worry
about. These little worries seem to
me to be important, too; and often
cause me great uneasiness and anxi-
ety."
"Too bad" murmured the second
woman.
"You never worry, do you? Per-
haps you have nothing to worry
about. don't see how you can keep
so calm at all times. What do you
do with your perplexities?"
The other woman hesitated before
replying, and then said: 'I'll tell
you just what I do. Whenever any
thing bothers me, go straight to my
bedroom, enter in and shut the door;
then I kneel down before my bed,
and talk to God. I tell Him all about
it. Oh. what comfort it is! tell
Him what bothers me, and how anxi-
Gus am; and ask Him, If it Is His
will, to deliver me, to comfort me,
either by answering my prayer in a
wonderful way, or by lifting my bur-
den."
"How wonderful" exclaimed the
nervous lady.
"You would laugh, perhaps, If I
would tell you OF the little things
about which pray, but which are
so necessary to my happiness, or the
happiness of others, perhaps. Jesus
comes very near to me at such times,
and treats me so much better than I
deserve. Prayer, or talking to God,
is sure cure for worry; try it. Al
though He may not always answer
my prayers In the way I ask, yet my
mind is relieved of my burden.-Ex-
change.

A FATHERS LETTER TO HIS BOY

[Some years ago, young Scotch
man left his home to seek his for
tune in America. 1t has been our
good fortune to read the following
letter which the father gave the son
at that time; we are also privileged
to give it a wider circulation. It may
be pleasant for the reader to know
that the young man Is now himself a
father and an honored elder in one
Of Philadelphia most prominent
Presbyterian churches. His fathers
letter and his Bible have ever been
"a lamp unto his feet, and a light
unto his path. Editors.
My Dear Son:-You go away from
our sight it may be for a long time
OF course, we cannot expect you to
understand the feelings that agitate
our hearts. We only get calm by
bearing you and ourselves to the
throne of God. We are hopeful for
your future. You promise we'll, and
this is our comfort. The untried fu-
ture is before you, with an entire
change of circumstances, and the
thought of this causes US some an
xiety. We have many times spoken
to you and given you counsel of love,
but you have all you need in your
Bible. Do not forget constantly to
consult it; make it your daily study.
Read often the fourth chapter of
Proverbs; it is the safe compass for
young man; 1t is all true; keep
strictly by its precepts
Love and mediate often on the
words Of Jesus; walk and talk with
Him. He is a real, personal, present
Friend.
We will be often thinking about
you, and you will be remembered al
ways in our prayers.
Keep your own counsel; be wary
OF men; don't think you know every
thing; ask advice, if you require it,
from those older than yourself, and
especially of a Christian.
Suit and shape yourself to your
place and circumstances; get to
know the customs and ways as soon
as possible; get knowledge, it is
easily carried about.
Discard entirely all evil habits: he
master of yourself; be an out and
out abstainer, and don't be afraid of
letting 1t be known. Don't smoke.
1t is a useless senseless, expensive
habit, and will never recommend YOU.
but, in man Asses, would be an OBJ
stacle to yG>f success.
Cultivate and keep the companv
or good young men; if possible, those
better Informed than yourself, from
whom you can learn some good or
useful thing.
Let your every word be true, no
half truths. and you will command
trust and respect.
Write often. You will be getting
a letter from some of us by almost
every mail. Should you not succeed.
or wish to come home, let us know
at once, and we will not fail you.
You go from US, we believe. with
good and noble motives, and we trus,
you. You have good hopes, and we
snare them with you. Don't be dis
couraged; though you may meet with
dlsappointments, don't brood on
them, but rise above them. Pray to
God to open up your way as you go
along, even as you enter a door to
apply for employment.
And now we commit you to the
care OF your God, who is our God,
hoping to meet again.
Your affectionate
FATHER.

In your temptations run to the
promises; they be our Lords
branches hanging over the water,
that our Lords silly, half-drowned
children may take a grip of them;
If you let that grip go, you will fall
to the ground.-Samuel Rutherford.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1909-09-23

The question was asked in a party
of children which character they lik-
ed best in Bunyan's pilgrim Prog
ress." One replied, ST like Chris
tan best"; another said, "I like
Christiana best because she took the
little ones along with her."-Sel.

WIDOW WINS IN FIGHT
FOR FAMILY ALLOWANCE
Heirs of George: A. Harris at
Outs Over Estate Distribution

Despite opposition from heirs living
in Rhode Island, Judge Graham yester-
day allowed Mary Louise Harris fam
lily allowance of 5000 month from the
estate of her late husband, George A.
Harris. The estate is worth about s47.-
900 and was divided in the proportion
of three e-fifths to Mrs. Harris and one
fifth each to Adeline II. Sears and Ella
J.. j. Harris, cousins. The latter.
through their attorney, contended that
$3.50 a month was sufficient to allow
Mrs Harris pending the distribution of
the estate. The widow declared how
ever, that She had sustained a broken
leg twice since the death of her hus-
band and was under considerable ex-
pensc.

9In early days we built clipper ships.
built them on the eastern coast, fast
sailing ships, built with American in
