OPPORTUNITY.

There is a pretty Indian legend
of a good spirit who, wishing to
benefit a young princess, led her
into a golden corn field and said:
"See these ears of corn, my
daughter; if thou wilt pluck them
diligently they will turn to preci-
Gus jewels; the richer the ear Of
corn the brighter the gem. But
thou mayest only once pass
through this corn field and canst
not return the same way"
The maiden gladly accepted the
offer. AS she went on, many ripe
and full ears of corn she found in
her path, but she did not pluck
them, always hoping to find better
ones further on. But presently
the stems grew thinner, the ears
poorer, with scarcely any grains
of wheat on them; further on they
were blighted, and she did not
think worth picking. Sorrowfully
she stood at the end of the field,
for she could not go back the same
way, regretting the loss of the gol-
den ears she had overlooked and
lost.
To each of us are golden OPP
portunities offered let us redeem
the time by giving our hearts to
Jesus now, for we can not return
again to the days of childhood
after. we have passed through
