The Jetfs and appreciate the good Mr. Watson is
doing in so many ways. He is causing the scales
to roll off the eyes Of many in regard to Foreign
Missions,-both preachers and church members.
Many, since reading his writings on this subject
say their mission work henceforth will be at
home. May the good work go until all our
needy and afflicted ones will be remembered and
blessed by sweet relief
[ noticed some time ago Uncle Charlie spoke
of preachers neglecting to visit afflicted shut-ins.
Only one preacher in my thirteen years of invalid
ism called to see me, and that by special re-
quest from me- So many Christian women, too,
only call once year. They make excuses, &C
knowledge they are ashamed, and say they are
going to do better and come oftener, but forget
to, l suppose. [ can't help noticing that these
same ones never fail to attend all public gather
ings, picnics, etc. I asked friend if the fault
was in me- that | was neglected so, and in kind
ness to tell me- SO that I could overcome it. He
said that everyone appreciated my company and
engrossed buying and making inery, and had to
attend. public entertainments to show off their
clothes Now who is there to show them the err
ror of such vain ways? The preachers dare not,
from their pulpits,-the congregation would
down and OUT then, and they would have to
seek work elsewhere. So they remain mum, and
the giddy butterfly of fashion fits the wings

things must end some day. and they may rush

ON LIVING HEARTILY.

Son of my heart, l have, through
the passionateness of me, made SO
many mistakes and done so many
foolishness, that it would seem as
if l might stand for one of the big
gest failures that was ever made.
But l have seen many great things
on the way. The very pain L
brought upon myself, and so pas
sionately resented, opened my eyes
to the pain of others, and there
have been a few who have turned
to me to weep. Some of the JOY
that a woman feels when her baby
brings his broken knees to her to
be mended belongs to the barren
woman when part of the world
turns to her to be comforted. l
know that, and l would not change
it for all the ease offered by all the
philosophers since ever the world
began.
began.
They talk of happiness. What
do they know of happiness who
only happiness know" And what
is happiness gained at such loss?
Would the leader, with the cry Of
battle ringing in his ears and the
ope of victory swelling in his heart,
turn from his charge to lie in idle
ness upon the softeN bed that ever
was? Ask yourself these
questions when you are training for

your heart, and see what use the

will satisfy all those in whose
veins trickles tepid water, but the
man of blood and passions must
look to his own courage and his
own strength for help. He wants

mometer and a medicine chest. He
will fail by his humanity, but he
