for the child, and surely God is more wise than any parent. If we cannot do this from our hearts we are none of his. We should be willing to pay the cost of gaining the secrets of God. Then all pain and all sacrifice would be worth while, for in Gods school there is no useless pain or sacrifice.
 Much of human activity is to please self: it begins and ends right there; but the work that pleases God is work for others. We should make the most of this opportunity for work and we ought to enter the service with real enjoyment. But we cannot do any thing to please God if we are harbor- ing some unrepented sin. The Chris tian religion is like water and air, so free that we do not appreciate it's value. There are then three steps in the way to please him: First, eradi- cate sin, second. sanctification of the individual; and, third, continuance in we'll doing. So shall we work for our own salvation and those about us. True worship of God is sure to be followed by work for God.
 At the next midWeek service, which is to be at Trinity church, it was an- nounced that the speaker would be Rev. George w. Davenport, rector of St. James church. Danbury.

SECOND UNION LENTEN SERVICE
Rev P. M Burgess of Nev Haven Was the Preacher at Christ Episcopal Church Discourse on Teach Me to Do the Thing That Pleaseth Thee

There was good sized congregation at Christ church on Wednesday eve ming for the second of the midWeeA Lenten services in which ChriAt and Trinity churches unite and the serv- ice of evening prayer was read by the two rectors. Rev. Nelson Poe Carey and Archdeacon J. Eldred Brown. The timely sermon was by the rector of Christ church, New Haven, Rev. F, M. Burgess.
 The preachers discourse was 3 helpful one from the text Psalm 143, 10: Teach me to do the thing that pleaseth thee. He told his hearers that to please God was the business of our lives. Through life runs the single thread of Gods will a71 1t si1nplifes our lives if we aim to fol- low the prayer of the text, Teach me to do the thing that pleaseth thee. Where Gods will shows is the best way. He leads where we cannot see the way.
 The prayer of the text is a fundn- mental and one especially suited to this season of Lent, this season of work and worship. It should be our desire simply to please him. 1t is the good that pleases God, just as the father or mother wants only the best

HONEST CONFESSION 4 Doctors Talk on Food.

There are ne fairer set of men on earth than the doctors. and when they find they have been in error they are usually apt to make honest and manly admission of the fact.
 A case in point is that of prac- titicner, one of the good old school, who lives in Texas. His plain. unvarn- ished tale needs no dressing up:
 T had always had intense preju- dice, which I can now gee was un- warrantable and unreasonable, against all muchly advertised foods Hence, I never read a line of the many ads of Grape Nuts, nor tested the food till last winter.
 While in Corpus Christi for my health. and visiting my youngest son, who has four of the ruddtest, healthfest little boys ever saw, ate my first dish of Grape-Nuts food for supper with my little grandsons.
 T became exceedingly fond of it and have eaten a package Of it every week since, and find 1t a delicious. refresh ing and strengthening food, leaving no tations fwith which I was formerly much troubled), no sense of fullness, nausea, nor distress of stomach in any way.
 'arhere is no other food that agrees with me so well, or sits as lightly or pleasantly upon my stomach as this does.
 Y am stronger and more active since began the use of Grape-Nuts than I have been for 10 years. and am no longer troubled with nausea and indi- eestion." Name Etven by Poetum Co, Battle Crock. Mich,

An Interruntion

When it came to the turn of the widow, ONeil Nicholas. in harsh manner, asked her if she had brought "ea ting money and glove money" Having received this he said: You can't have a new lease--Tve promised your place to the surveyor"
 But" said Mrs. ONeil, your honor knows that his Iordship promised in his own handwriting to renew the old lease.'
 T know nothing of the sort. Produce your old lease"
 The widow did so, but the penciled promise had been rubbed out; Nicholas Garraghty had had temporary poses sion of the lease and had erased the pledge of Lord Clonbrony
 Brian. infuriated at the cruelty and deception of the thing, began to make a disturbance, crying out that the agent should sign the lease, while Grace and his mother tried to stop him.
 The agent began writing out com mitment for the young man, when. amid the confusion, Lord Colambre cried out in a voice of authority: Let the young man speak; let the voice of truth be heard,"
 And who the devil are you?" cried Nicholas in amaZement

Wife Already Selected

Lady Clonbrony passed the matter ot finances along as one of little account, and, changing the subject, announced to Colambre that she and his father had ricked out wife for him-a wife with a great fortune, and that he would please be married right away.
 The name of the young lady was Broad hurst. Colambre had been introduced to her last night at the opera, and the parents in the case had arranged the marriage early in the morning.
 Colambre was astonished at the ignor- ing of the principal characters in we'd ding and told his mother, as gently, but as firmly as. he could, that he had no de- sire to marry just at present, and that, in any case, he would never marry for money.
 ''Then, Colambre, you are very dis obliging, l must say" answered Lady Clonbrony: flor your father says that if you don't marry her we can't live in London another winter.''
 So saying, she abruptly quilted the room. Her son stood motionless, saying to himself, 'Is this my mother? How altered!' .G

Laying Down the Law

Before the young man could answer a female voice cried out: Lord Co., lambre, I protest" and fashionably attired woman entered the room.
 IL was a Mrs. Rafferty. whom Colam- bre had met in Dublin, and who, it ap- peared, was the sister of Nicholas Gar raghty.
 Her husband had failed in business. and Nicholas had offered her the use of castle Clonbrony as a shelter-pro- Vided she gave him mortgage on her household furniture.
 Great was the astonishment of the tenants to find that MT Evans was the long absent Lord Colambre.
 He told Mrs. Rafferty that the castle was at her service as d temporary ref fuge. read a lecture to Nicholas Gar raghty obliged him by threats to re- new the lease of the widow ONen, and then told the agent that he should not fail to report to his father all that he had witnessed.
 Upon the table he saw lying several leases made out to Dennis Garraghty the agents brother, but still unsigned
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-22
Beginning to Think

Young and careless as he seemed Lord Colambre was capable of serious reflection. In the early years or ms childhood. while he lived at his father castle, everybody had loved and petted him.
 Yet he was not spoiled nor rendered selfish. At school and at Cambridge he had formed good connections and had been a good student.
 He had formed many friendships in England and was not insensible of the comforts, refnements and informat ton to be found in English society. But his own country was dear to him by early association, and sense of duty and patriotism attached him to Ireland.
 And shall l, too, be an absentee" was the question which resulted from these reflections--a question which he was not yet prepared to answer de- cidedly.
