SENTENCE SERMONS.

Harder work may be heavens wage.
The hard face usually has weak
spine.
No man can rise above criticism who
fears censure.
He never loved at all who feared to
love too much.
Many doctrines are only ecclesiastic-
al political fences.
Many think that faith is believing
all they wish were so.
The envy of the good is evidence of
poverty in that respect.
No path can be worthy for me that
is not straight for other feet.
No church ever died as long as it
had a work to do and did it.
If you take every man you meet for
a guide you will go to the goal of
none.
1t is so much easier to plan to mend
the universe than it is to be patient
with your own children.

DoN'Ts FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't forget that fanaticism is a
germ of zeal and falsehood.
Don't lose hope of your brother lest
you lose faith in your Father.
Don't forget that he has ceased to
live who does not long for more life.
Don't forget that the running tongue
throws many one back in the race.
Don't imagine that arguing over the
tools is the same as building house.
Don't mistake the faith that is anx-
ious to kill for the faith that is ready
to die.
Don't become deluded by the feeling
that you are raising yourself by de-
spising others.
Don't imagine that the suffering of
the saints under the sermon augments
their grace.
Don't overlook the fact that to know
yourself may prevent some lies If it
does not reveal all truth.
Don't forget that a fool seeking wis
dom is better than wise man salts
fed with what he has.
Don't fail to observe that I. neigh
boris reputation is often improved by
giving tie imagination rest.

SONGS IN THE NIGHT.

By Rev. James Nudge, D. d.
'But none saith, where is God my
Maker, who giveth songs in the
night? 1910.
The night of grief and pain comes
to all. Soon or late, more or less, we
What shall we do with it? Defeat.
devastation, peace, triumph-Whlcn
will we have? The Almighty is fully
able to make his children victorious
over all their trials, turning them into
means of grace for which hearty
thanks can most fifty be given. 1t Is
possible not merely to bear them with
patience and resignation, but to re-
joice greatly at the glorious results
therein wrought
We may raise to God, in the night OF
affection, a song of trust We may say,
Though He Stay me, yet / will trust
in Him." Although the fig tree shall
not blossom, neither shall there be any
fruit in the vine, yet l rejoice in the
Lord, l will joy in the God Of my sal
Walton" The song of trust necessarily
becomes also a song Of JOY and hope,
of peace and contentment. We lind
that our burden is our boon, that what
breaks our trust in the creature en-
ables us to lay hold on the Creator,
and that this is a most blessed ex-
change. 1t is only in the dark valley
that we thoroughly learn to sing with
the Psalmist, Il will fear no evil, for
Thou are with me-" 1t is only when it
Is black around us that the eternal
stars shine out. Darkness shows us
worlds of light we never see by day"
and never could see.
Do we sometimes, in a moment of
fierce temptation or anguish, feel like
saying, Lord, take away pain" II
so, brief reflection shows us the folly
of it. For, as Browning says, Put
pain from out the world, what room
were left for thanks to God, for love
to MANI" Pain is the greatest of
Gods teachers. By it we learn sympa-
thy with others. Without it we should
be hard and cold and selfish, self-con-
tanned, self-centered, self-conceited.
Unspeakably precious lessons of broth
erhood and helpfulness come from our
pangs and our prostrations, our faults
and our failures. What a mercy is
physical pain which warns us that
something is out of order in the body
and needs attention, thus preventing
our sudden dissolution. Nor is it
otherwise with pain mental, which
calls a halt in our proud career Of
self-sufficiency, throws us back on our
fellows, equips us for service, puts US
into the way of communion with God,
companionship with Jesus. 1t has
wonderful compensations. "The deep
est griefs have hottest ministries"

Unique Door for the Pigpen.

A very convenient way of feeding
pigs was observed in the swinehouse
of a prominent breeder, an arrange
ment that made the tridaily feelings
u matter of so little difficulty that a
child could place the feed before a
pen of unruly noses.
! The front of each pen was hinged
at the top, swinging downward against
the farther sides of the uprights, as
here shown, the weight of the door
being sufficient to hold it in place. On
the front of the door is vertical bar
with a pin through the top, as here
shown. This is held in place by TWO
wooden blocks notched out to admit
Gef the bars sliding up and down, the
blocks being bolted to the door. If
desired the home blacksmith could
EASILY shape piece of iron to perform
the same duty.
At feeding time the bar is lifted and
Ahe door swung in past the trough,

A sMUGGLER"S HEROISM.
A Girl Who Held Her Fallen Brother on
Alps Thirteen Hours.


The heroic effort of girl smuggler to
save the life of her elder brother after
holding him thirteen hours on rope over
Il precipice is reported from Belllnzona.
Mile. Poretti, aged eighteen, and her
brother, aged twenty three, left Swiss
territory to cross the Baldisco Pass, car
rying contraband goods into Italy. On
the summit they were Overtaken by
violent snowstorm-which ragged through
out Southern Switzerland-and were
soon in deep snow.
The Poretis roped themselves, the
young man leading. They lost their
way, and while attempting to find the
path Poretti fell through the snow into
q crevasse into which he nearly dragged
his sister, who, however, planted her
ice-ax in the snow and withstood the
shock.
Early the next morning several snug.
glers crossing the pass from Swiss ter
rItory into Italian found the young girl
near the ordinary route taken by SNUG
glers, and recognized her at once, as she
belonged to a smuggler's family, and
lived at Chiayenna. The smugglers at
once drew up the brother, but found
that he had died during the thirteen
hours his sister had held him by the
rope He had received severe injuries
in the head, and his body was frozen.
The smugglers carried down the brave
girl, who was almost unconscious, as

after the accident, and at last he had
said that he felt nothing and wanted to
sleep.
