The Little Thjnos.

Remember that it is in the little
things of life that men fail. 1t is in
the little things of life that men sue
coed. 1t is in the little things of life
that make life. Only to the few is
given the chance to do great and shin
ing deeds, to link their fame with
some mighty achievement. But to ev-
cry man 1t has been given to act well
his part-to perform the many duties
each simple in itself, but whose sum
is vast. whose effects are enduring.
You may not climb to brilliant heights
OF glory, but you can glorify the COM
mon way of life and make the low
liest path shine as with the light from
heaven.

Silent Seruica

I cannot be Of any use," is an ex
clamation used by many people. 81
cannot be missionary, / cannot nurse
the SICK or visit the poor and do for
them. There is nothing really worth
While that I can do for our Lord"
But our tongues arc not the only
faculties we can use in the service OF
the Lord. Surely there are ways grand
ways. we silent people can be of use
and a blessing to the world
A star does not talk or make n noise
but Its calm, steady beam shines down
continually, and is a bcnediction to
many. A flower cannot sing, and soon
fades away and dies when plucked,
but It's sweet fragrance and beauty
make 1t a blessing. Be like a star in
your peaceful shining and a flower in
your sweet purity and fragrant hu-
mility, and many will thank God for
your life.
The living sacrifice does not always
mean the active work. But it may
mean the patient endurance of a
wrong, the quiet bearing of a pain, the
sweet forgiveness of a wrong, or q
cheerful acquiescence in a disappoint-
ment. All these. and many more, will
make your life blessed, even though
silent, and you will be working con-
tinually for God.

A Memory.

- "CuIOIys
Memory's album opens oft
Unbidden at the place
Wherein | fastened years ago
The picture Of her face
A girlish. oval countenance.
Too grave for one so young,
'Twould seem the warm sun seldom
shone
Where this sweet flower had sprung.
The broad, low brow is fifty crowned
With waves of golden hair,
A saint-like halo for face
More sanctified than fair
Too tender is the sweet curved lip,
Too pale. perhaps, the cheek;
But chin and nose both indicate
A spirit far from weak.
Dark eyebrows slightly arch above
Still darker, blue-grey eyes;
Deep. earnest, thoughtful orbs, wherein
The light Of Heaven lies.
How oft have these clear, truthful eyes
Unknowingly revealed
The secrets OF a loving heart,
That she would have concealed.
Death loves shining mark" and oh!
Full soon he learned her WORTH
Full soon he claimed the heart that
was
TOO good for this dark earth,
Tonight ] bow my head and pray
That ] in heaven may look
Upon this face so well preserved

Come in to spoil the day.
