PROSECUTIONS FAIL.

tive, because they lacked moral code and tran
scended the bounds of reason and common sense
Though they despised the gross errors of paganism
their sages and philosophers had not the courage
to repudiate its immoral teachings openly It was
the religion of the state, hence the popular creed
But IN the midst of prosecutions and in the very
jaws of death, the Christians, like Eiseus, who re-
ceived the jealous spirit of Elias as he assembled to
heaven, were inhamed with the spirit and love
of Jesus who promised that He would not leave
them orphans, but would send the HOLY Ghost
who would strengthen and comfort them in their
trials and sufferings. History bears testimony to
the fact that scarcely are they filled with this holy
sprt, when these early Christians, hitherto timid
and hiding from their enemies came forth with
the courage of lions from their hiding places and
oVercame all resistance. Unconscious and regard
less of danger, with burning zeal they bear on
their foreheads the sign OF their divine Master
Their ntrepidity defies all the powers of the earth
Before assembled princes they fearessly bear testi
to the resurrection of Christ and come forth
rejoicing that they had been worthy to suffer for
the name of Christ and that his promise namely,
"the gates of hell would not prevail against them"
was verified.
Their zeal and ardor extend beyond the con-
fines of Judea. They go from city to city and
from kingdom to kingdom. Where it was posi-
bic to go they went, even to the very extremities
of the earth. They attack popular abuses that
were consecrated by usage, and deeply rooted in
the hearts of the people. The obstacles and per
secutions which present themselves only serve to
reanimate their zeal and prepare them for fresh
victories. The government in the whole world
conspire against Them and they are stronger than
all their enemies. The Cross and the gibbet are
used to compel them silent, but to no avail "For
we can not but speak the things we have seen and
heard" Acts iv, 20. They face the sword of the
executioner, new torrents were invented to extin-
guish the Christian faith, but the martyrs blood
served to announce their faith after their death.
and the of it that was shed the more numerous
were the disciples who adopted the standard of the
Cross. FD\

SMILE AND WAIT.

One of the hardest, and yet one of the most use
full lessons we can ever learn is to smile and wait
after we have done very best.
1t is a finely trained mind that struggle
with energy and cheerfuness toward the goal which
he cannot see. But he is not a great philosopher
who has learned the secret of smiling and wait
ing A great many people smile at difficulties
who cannot wait, who lack patience; but the man
who both smile and wait if he has that tenacity
of purpose which never turns back will surely win.
The fact is large things can only be done by Opt
mists Little successes are left to pessimistic peo-
pie who cannot set their teeth clench their fists,
and smile at hardships misfortunes and patiently
wait.
Smile and wait-there whole volumes in this
sentence. 1t is so much easier for most people to
work than to wait.

Some Good Old Rules.

To get a wrong thought out of the mind, put
in a noble one. To dispel darkness let in sunshine.
To drive out bad temper teach self-control. These
are good old rules that many people never seem
to reach or understand
Seoding child rarely helps along an inch. 1t
belongs to the past deeds done and over with In
spring child tells for miles ahead. 1t belongs to
the present deed and the long future. 1t belongs,
also, to the most deep and complete power of a
mother over her child The mother who has under
stood, who has inspired her boys and her girls is
never outgrown, superseded by newer affec-
tionS
The thought of her remains the fundamental
one to the very end of life This is the power that
every mother longs for-and the power that she can
and ought to have if she is wise enough to hold
earnestly to the best things for her child.

to his eldest boy, onefourth to the next, and one

THE BEST K1TErLrER IN TOWN.

Some years ago there died in Nebraska a man
named Walsh, who, boy, started suspension
bridge. When Walsh about 10 years old the
first steps for the construction of the suspension
bridge at Niagara were taken The first thing
necessary was the stretching of single wire
the chasm. The engineer in charge had thought of
a way to get it across.
'What ov is the best kiteflier in town. he
asked.
The 81 'ov was named as the best kiteflier in
the town IF " cara Falls and the engineer ac-
cordingly asked dat he be brought to him. He was
made to understand that he must fly his kite
the Niagara river He flew it across and allowed
it to come down OH the other side. Men there
to seize it. Then the engineer attached wire to
the string OH his SIDE and the the other side
detached the kite and by of the string drew
the wire across. BY this in turn, cable was drawn
across. and the bridge was we'll begun.-Harper's

TIFF oRIerN OF THE NAME OF CANADA.

The origin of the name of Canada Is interesting,
and is not widely known. The Spaniards went there
before The French settlers and searched for gold and
silver mines; finding trace of the precious metals
in prospecting they constantly repeated the words
" AGA NADIA meaning 'tThere is nothing here"
The Indians gradually became familiar with these
oftrepeated words and when the French arrived,
thinking they. too, were on the search for gold and
anxious to get rid of them, they lost no time IN re
peating AGA nadai'' "Aca nada!"
The French settlers did not know Spanish; they
thought that the Indians were telling them the name
Of their country so they adopted it themselves, and
gave it the name Of Canada.-Benziger's Magazine

SAND SWEPT ASIA.

In the arid lands of central Asia the air is re-
ported often laden with fine deritus which drifts
like snow around conspicuous objects and tends to
bury them in dust drift. Even when there is no
apparent wind the air is described as thick with
fine dust, and yellow sediment covers everything
In Khotan this dust sometimes so obscures the sun
that at midday cannot see to read fine print

Envy is one of the meanest of all the passions 1t
is alike offensive in the sight of God and 1t is
not only unreasonable, but malignant spirit.
1t looks with the eye of hatred upon brother for

it as one of the worst enemies of your happiness,

against her of long standing. She
said:
THE police were so anxious to

Judge Mann suggested this to
me and agreed that if l would go he

$500, if | would put up that amount
