Personal Work
By MATTE E. N

w l1 OTHING counts like per
~ sonal interest In work or
GAW in play. The teacher who
@AyM can put himself In the
NN place of the pupil and
work with him towards
the higher attainments, is a teacher
indeed. When we can live again the
first experiences of public prayer or
the u~tterances Of a few words that
jumbled on u lips, we are in
a position to help those who
are coming into the work. We all
know how much more effective a
personal invitation is than a general
one. Personal interest shown will
often win where all else fails. Per
sonal work is something that we can
all do, and it Is what is going to
reach the people, bring in the revival.
and build up the church. Young
people, here is our opportunity to do
work for Christ. No one can reach
the hearts of the people, or win
them more effectively. than the
young. A pastor cannot reach and
win all in his parish. but he might.
with your help, win a good many
more than he does. You, ever though
weak and timid, may be able to win
some one that he could not reach.
The minister's work does not lessen
your responsibility. But there are
conditions for the success of a person
al worker. We should be right with
God and should constantly implore
his guidance. He can use the hum
blest efforts to win souls, If they are
made in his name and for his sake.
Let us search our hearts and see if
there be any evil way In Us. Sin
breaks the connection with our hv-
ing and loving Saviour, and leaves
US powerless. Then a personal in
terest cannot be shown unless felt.
We must have the Christ spirit with
in US. and truly love those we wish
to help; and never forget that 1t is
for Christ we are working. If we
could always remember that. we
would be less often discouraged and
disheartened. And let US not forget
that we are to do u duty. and God
himself will see to the results. Let
us not worry over the result of our
effort. | have even known a SEEM
ingly utter failure to bring about
much good and the conversion of
souls.

Old Fares Restored.

The announcement that the Public
Service Corporation has practically
decided to restore the old trolley fare
rate between the Rutherfords and
Passaic, after a persistent as well as
an extensive fight, brings joy to the
people generally. The order calls for
a scent fare to Passaic between the
Carlsbad station and Passaic River
bridge o the Passaic fare limit and
gives Wellington commuters a 10-cent
fare to Hoboken.

And PERILS LIVES
OF DAKOTA COUPLE
Homesteader and Wife Have d
Narrow Escape From Death
In q Well.

Aberdeen, S. D., April 6.--Mr. M
Mrs. Richard Hodges, homesteaders
near Daviston, in Perkins county. were
victims OF an accident which nearly
caused their death. Hodges was dig
ging a well, and Mrs. Hodges assisted
him by drawing the dirt from the Wen
as he deposited II In a bucket, the rope
being operated by means Of a pulley.
When Hodges decided to quit work
his wife started to pull him to the
surface, but the pulley broke and
Hodges and his wife were both pro-
cipitated TO the bottom Of the well, the
man alighting on his feet with such
violence as to sprain both ankles, while
she fell In head first and was seriously
injured. Hodges succeeded In getting
out of the we'll, working himself from
urder the unconscious form of his wife
and then digging roles in the side of
the well, by which he was enabled TO
climb to the top.
Reaching the surface. Hodges started
for help. The nearest neighbor was
Miss Florence Kilmer, a girl ome
steadcr, and her shack was iGG rods
sway, and Hodges injuries were such
that he could not walk. Crawling On
the ground he managed to reach Miss
Kilmer's home and told her what had
occurred. Miss Lille Smith, who was
visiting Miss Kilmer, mounted a horse
and hurried away to bring male help,
while Miss Kilmer occupied herself In
relieving the suffering of Hodges as
much as possible. IT was several hours
before sufficient help could be found to
raise Mrs. HODGES to the surface. Her
recovery is in doubt.
