A youth who, as early in life as he

which his mistress made about him.
The man. who was a poor farmers
War went to the Southwest to seek
his fortune while he was still a callow
youth. But although he was callow
he was extremely long-legged and
this circumstance won him imSuedi-
ately the name Of Shanghai" by
which he was almost exclusively
known to his friends in that part of
the world.
He himself now tells how, on his
arrival In Texas, he went to work
for farmer who had several slaves.
There was no one on the place except
Shanghai and a negro named Pete
who could ride a certain horse, and
vt often fell to Shanghai's lot to
mount this fractions beast. But one
day 1t happened that when Pete was
on the horse, 1t threw him and then
fell on him.
This happened near the planters
house. The planter and his wife and
several attendants ran out to the as
eistance of the negro, who appeared TO
be dead. AS soon as she saw the slave
lying senseless, the woman cried out:
20 dear, how unfortunate There's
an Notwithstanding negro killed,
Now IL 1t had only been Shanghai. 1t
wouldn't have made any difference"
Shanghai was in hearing OF this
eminently economic remark, and he at
once said to himself, eff I'm not worth
as much as a negro slave, 1 guess I'll
move on to some place where I can
make myself worth it,

Most people slip up on their own

The greatest sorrows are the ones

Many preacher smothers the truth
in his attempts to protect it.
We would all live in a fools para
disc but for lifes bitter blows
Most men like to let their light
shine when they get new car.
Good advice is seldom taken save
as it is given in practical doses.
The people who are going nowhere
are always in a rush to get there.
It's al awful thing to be green, but
it's a good deal worse to be born dried
up.
The religion that has to be warmed
UP once a week soon becomes tough

It is always easier to secure syn

He who has to manufacture his
smiles finds that grudges within turn
them into grins.

affection for God by the cost of our
service for man.

Congregational Union. He wrote this pop

He says that it was the expression Of hill

One year later Lowell Mason set 1t II
the tune, "Olivet,' with which it has evei
since been welded. 1t has been trans
lated into almost every dialect and tongue
Almost all church people know it by heart
and certainly all love it heartily.l
My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away;
o let me from this day
Be wholly thine.
May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart;
My zeal inspire;
AS thou hast died for me,
o may my love to thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
"nlle lies DARK maze treaQ,
And griefs around me spread,
Be thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrows tears away
Nor let me ever stray
From thee aside.
When ends lifes transient dream,
When deaths cold, sullen stream
Shall Ger me roll,
Blest Savior, then, in love,
Fear and distress remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ranSomed soul.
