SERMONETTES.

Humility is never conscious even Of
itself
Philosophical puppies are always
dogmatic.
Weakness is the quiet that belongs to
the right.
When a mans faith makes his head
hot 1t conceals his heart.
1t does not take much millinery to
shut heaven from our eyes.
A mans morality always depends
on the meaning he sees in life.
He who is looking for a chance to
feel hurt never has to wait long.
He who is only skim milk in charac-
ter tries to be cream in conversation.
The most heavenly truth may be
evil when it forms a barrier between
brothers.
1t would not be strange if the world
were blind seeing the freaks who are
ever trying to get in its eye.
The world is being helped not so
much by our admiration of the gospel
as by our practical Interpretation of it.
Many saints think they have fixed
their foundations if they have but
made sure of having the right number
on the front door.

FAINT HEART NEVER WINS.

Be strong and OF good courage" y
Joshua 10: IS.
1t was observed by an ancient that
faint heart ne'er won fair lady" Not
only so, but faint heart never wor
anything worth winning. 1t stands be-
fore lifes open doors hssitant, at the
foothills Of great possibilities, in the
presence of some supreme achievement
afraid.
Many man is poor chiefly racause
he has been afraid to trust his money
in other hands than his own. What
uninvested millions lie hidden away in
gunnysacks and under floors! All we
need to start panic is to suddenly
increase the number OF commercial
faint hearts" All the longed-for COM
mercial revival waits is a restoration
OF confidence. So great campaigns re-
main unwaged, great deliverances un-
wrought, splendid continents unacquir-
ed and unsubdued because of our faint
hearts.
A census of such timid folk would
doubtless make long list, but such
list is never quite so depressing as
when it includes those from whom we
have the right to expect better things.
1.-THE worst thing about some good peo-
pie is that they are such towards"
There is a species Of cowardice which
goes with responsibility and belongs to
great decorum. 1t is not by any means
the cowardice of the wicked who flee
when no man pursueth," neither is it
the cowardice of the pure craven. 1t
is the exhibition of those from whom
we expect different spirit-of a Nico-

demus in the council chamber; of an
Erasmus in the reformation.
1t is said that certain enr2gad beast:
invariably wait a sign of terror IN the
eyes Of their victim and with the FRI
intimation Of such terror the amir
springs to the attack. Thus the forc-:
OF evil watch for some sign OF weak-
ening on the part of those who are set
to defend the right. The mere blancH,
ing of cheek, some first evidence of
faint heartedness, is all the signal lie

But 70 say that men and causes are

question still remains as to what in.

us can carry comfortably and jauntily

Faint-heartedness indicates also
want Of conviction. Some one says
that bank never succeeds until its

He starved his business" explained
a mutual friend by way of accounting

never put himself into it," Nor can
man put himself into his task until he
believes in his task A faint heart Is
often a confession that its owners soul
is not yet engaged.
But the fundamental cure Of cow
ardice must be had from God. To be
convinced Of His immense opulence Of
resource, to know that He has a great

selves, to believe that He never sends
His children on fools errands is one
part of a sure cure for timidity. THE
secret of the Lord is with those that
fear Him" And those who in the best
sense fear the Lord are not afraid Of

Much interest has been created in
Honduras by rumor that the United

Parades and Pauline Valladares as ennis
saries of the government in connection
with the proposed loan. The former is
vested with the title of minister pleni-
potentiary and envoy extraordinary, on
special mission to the American govern
ment.
The foreign debt of Honduras amounts
to 1852 ,OOO which, payable within forty
years at interest stipulated, would
amount to FL $685. 900. 1t is asserted

HYMNS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS
BY John Fawcett, ID. ID.


[John Fawcett Uidget Green, York
July rs. 1S17). an English Baptist pastor,
was the author OF several beautiful hymns,
1t is said that, in 1772, after he had
served the little congregation at Wains-
gate for some years, living on a small
salary, he decided to accept call to an
important church IN London. He packed
his goods and prepared to leave But his
affection for his people led him to recall
his acceptance and to remain with them.
On that occasion he wrote this hymn, He
little knew that he was writing a hymn
that would be sung in many lands and at
almost all timeI of parting and Of re-
union.1
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts In Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like TO tina. above
Before our Fathers throne
We pour orr ardent prayers;
Our fears. our hopes, our aims are one
Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And. often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
When We asunder part,
It gives Us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined In heart,
And hope to meet again.
This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way,
While each in expectation lives
And longs 10 see the day.
From sorrow, toll, and pain,
And sin, we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity

the turn gracefully. Suddenly, without
apparent reason, it tilted sharply down

motor, struck the ground with great VIC
Ience. The aviator was pitched out ON

Helpful Hints.

A cloth moistened with alcohol win
clean piano keys.
Clean linoleum with warm water
and polish it with milk.
To clean marble take two parts Of
soda, one of pumice and one of salt
all in powder, and mix to paste with
water.
Fat which is to be kept should be
cut up small and boiled in a sauce
pan in little water and never put
into the oven TO melt.
A simple strip that is good to serve
on hot waffies is made by boiling wa
ter and sugar together and adding
cinnamon to taste.
Cover plaster-of-paris figures with
thick coating Of starch and water, let
it dry on the surface and the dirt
will brush off with the dry powder.
In papering a room, remember that
large patterns and dark colors will
make 1t appear smaller, while a plain
or striped paper, if light hue, will
give an impression of increased size
Ink stains on silver or plated ar
ticles may be removed with a paste
made of chloride of lime and water.
This should be left on for a little
while, and then washed off in warm
water.
Milk jars in which the milk has
soured can be most quickly cleaned
by putting first under the cold water
spigot, then filling with hot water in
which has been dissolved a liberia!
amount of washing soda.
To save many steps in the kitchen
have a small uncovered shelf near
the range. where hot food, when re
moved from the oven, may be placed.
1t also saves the table and you avoid
the danger of being burned while
carrying it across room.
Remember that the skins Of peach
es may be removed as those Of toma-
toes are by plunging them into boil
ing not merely hot-water This
way of peeling is a great saving in
the fruit. Oranges plunged in boiling
water will always peel more easily
than when not so treated.
