WYE read in the New Testament
 A/ that the Divine Master set up A
 W little child in the midst of the disciples. It must have been an impress sve sight A tot amongst the sturdy fishermen. What +he Savoir did in fact. Dickens did metaphorically. He has given children conspicuous place among his hosts of imaginary people. He is the apostle of children.
 Thackerays little daughter once asked, Father. why don't you write stories like Mir. Dickens? He answered, "Ah, my child, I wish I could" The sorrows of the little folk of Dickens stories had touched her heart, even as they had the heart of the father.
 No one else has written so tenderly of children as Dickens. The little ones of his books are not dismissed with line. He devotes whole chapters, whole books, to them. He said for himself that the love of little children is not small thing, seeing that they are so fresh from the hand of God. When death befalls them, in his stories, as naturally does he quote the Bible as grief stricken heart in actual life does. The Bible in real life is the only book that anyone wants to hear of when death has silenced the lit- tie song bird in the home next. Here
 
 and human experiences of afflictions.
 At such times Dickens frequently quotes those words that have consoled many a broken heart. "Suffer the little children to come unto Me. for of such is the kingdom of heaven" When the baby dies on it's mothers bosom, in the home of the brickmaker, in Bleak House, Esther says, q took the little burden from her and did what could to make the baby's rest the prettier and gentler. We tried to comfort the mother and whispered to her what the Savior had said of little children"
 Do you recall what he says of dear Lucie, in The Tale of Two Cities. and how she thinks that in little while she will be gone from earth? "The time passes; then a little Lucie lies upon her heart The shady house was sunny with childs laugh. and the Divine Friend of children, to whom in her troubles she had confded, seemed to take the child i'' His arms. as He did of old. and made ii ' 5oy 4a har But the echoes sound O Tne cfiic is taken from her. and h fr1Ts rcrs not all tears of agony tn nettsi her cheek as the spirit that h hss1 aaJ sted to her departed.

in this coming moral struggle for lead ership, the seeking of men whose eyes are clear to see the whole blessed truth about things as they appear: who have courage for any fight; who will not falter before any difficulty nor swerve backward, nor be rendered fearful. Such men must have place in their hearts for plain men who bear heavy burdens in the shadow of the world. but they must so love justice as to be able to use 1t for the rich as well as for the poor. Are there any such supermen? Can our democracy breed such political giants is another question. Can our moral nature in this later age run into such moulds?"
 Now, this Is generalizing in a fine and wholesome way. It is good to meet with polished prose in the public prints, how ever rarely. But I dare say we sermon ize all too much about this future we are facing We conjure all of the gods with our puny word-wands. and turn our little phrases, much as Aladdin turned his ring. summoning our favorite genii to clean up this fostering world according to our own fashion.

Delicious "syrup of Figs" Best to
Cleanse Their Little cIoseed Bowels.

Look hack at your childhood days.
Remember the physic that mother in

fought against taking them.
With our children it's different The
day of harsh physic is over We dom
force the liver and 80 feet of bowels
now; we coax them. We have no
dreaded after effects. Mothers who
cling to the old form of phYsic simply
don't realize what they do. The chill
dren's revolt is weh-founded. Their
little stomachs and tender bowels are
injured by them.
If your child is fretful, peevish, half
sick, stomach sour, breath feverish
and its little system fun of cold: has
diarrhoea, sore throat, stemaeh-ache;
doesn't eat or rest weil-remember-

Syrup of Figs being composed en-
tirely of luscious figs, SIENNA and aro-
matics simply cannot be harmful. 1t
sweetens the stomach, makes the liver
active and thoroughly cleanses the
