CONSIDER THE LILIES.
\ Meditation,

\ Meditation.
"Consider the lilies Of the field
how they grow st Matt vi. Is.
Let us consider them in the light
they throw upon the character of Him
Who set them in the meadows. They
toll not, neither do they spin" They
are not useful to man. like the plant
fax. nor medicinal like the bitter herb.
They will not feed his cattle; they are
not worth the gathering for fuel,
They are beautiful, and merely beau
tiful their symmetry is exquisite, their
coloring moro glorious than the raj
ment of monarch, but that is ali.
God would not have made a thing at
once SO precious and so profitlesS II
He had not other than unitarian stan
dards with which to measure tho
worth of His creation. The lilies are
our evidence Of His love of beauty.
They are the warrant for every eff
fort of human art, and for every en-
deavor after artistic appreciation. To
rejoice in the beautiful and to at
tempt 10 initiate it. is spiritual pro
cedure. 1t is an attempt to conform
human tastes and inclinatlons to the
revelation God has made of His.
Perhaps this consideration should
have weight with us when we are
tempted to measure the worth of men
by standards Of utility alone. Many
modern writer's. in their just heat
against luxury go so far as to decry
all artistic cndeaVor and write as
though the only men who deserve we'll
of society are the tollers, who in one
fashion or another produce utilities
from the soil or fish them out of the
sea. But let us not forget that the
man who beautifies the world enriches
us. as well rs the man who feeds us,
The man who digs coal from the hill
side is our henefaCtor. but so Is the
man who chisels a statue from the
rock. Let us consider the lilies" Let
us apply the divine estimate to Gre
alton. Let us tell its worth In terms
of lovelness as we'll as in terms of
use II. c. r.

TABBY'S KITS.

Old Tabby took her kits to walk,
They We're a pretty show:
Young Mustard Pot. and Old King
Cole,
And little Spit o. Snow.
"If dogs we meet" said mother Puss
See, hump your back and spit!"
Exactly as his mother did
Did every little kit.
They strolled about the poultry yard
They peeped in every pen,
For Tabby knew the gander'd gone
To swim with goslings ten.
They saw the horses and the cows.

And then came back upon the lawn
To frolic in the hay.

Each furry back went high,
And IS s. p t. each kitten said
AS fierce as he could cry.

Cat;
why get in such fright?
That's Baby's little wooden dog.
He cannot bark nor bite"
Then Old King Cole looked quite
ashamed.
And Mustard Pot said me"
But little Spit o. Snow, he laughed,
And then the rest laughed. too.
And when real live dog they saw
They all forgot to spit,
But ran and helped him lap the milk,

"Hold Fast What | Give You"
"a TRUE Story

Did you ever play 'Thimbly-
Bimbly?" / saw six little girls crowd
ed close together on the school house
step, with the palms of their chubby
hands laid together--so and another
little girl with her palms together, only
bullying little as II something lay
between them, was going from little
maid TO little maid, stopping in front
of each one. AS she stopped she passed
her closed palms quickly between the
palms of the little maid in front of
her. saying as she did so, Hold fast
what l give youi" Then / knew they
were playing "Thimbly- Bimbly."
For after Minnie Benson had gone
backwards and forwards several
times, she stopped and began to ask
questions: Who's got the thimhle,
Emily" and Emily guessed Jean.
Who's got the thimble. Jean?" and
Jean guessed Frances, and so on till
the thimble was found But you all
know the game. I am sure you've
played it hundreds of times.
Did you ever play 'Thimhle BIN

Ware. looking up at me from the bot

years. Jennie" said: "only play 1t

"Oh, your head" laughed the six
little maids, how could you play
'Thimbly' with your head?"
why, you see. first my mother, and
then my school teacher and my pro-
fessors and my Sabbath school teach
ers, and my pastor, and many more

Chewing Orders.

The master mechanic had finished
showing me through the great car
works, where hundreds of men were
at work. 1t was a great railroad plant
atthe end of division of one of our
greatest railroads It had been an In
spirinC hour for me. The order. the pr
wer that had seen displayed, the
splendid system with which everything
was managed, the well kept walks. the
rush and push and hustle of II all,
filled me with the admiration for the
general who was the one man under
whose charge all these great activities
were heing carried on so admirably,
He had an oversight off all. Every
man in the employ of that division
was under him. Every train train that
went out or came in. every pound of
coal that was used. every gill of oil,
every can Of paint, every bolt every
particle Of repair TO car or roadbed,
were all under this supervision, in one
way or another though. Of course,

The Friend Unseen.
BY Hunter Davidson
o Holy Saviour. Friend unseen.
And yet forever close at hand,
Upon Thy present strength we leaa
Upon the Rock OF Ages stand.
In pages olden we have read
Repentant sinners came to Thee
Because Thy holy blood was shed
From sin and doubt to set them
free.
In freedoms sure and precious power
We find our daily hope and need.
And in the Tempter's trying hour
We feed upon the Life indeed.
St Thomas loved the day that he
Beheld the wound that pierced Thy
side.
And blessed are we who do not see
Yet in Thy faith and love abide.
O Holy Saviour be our Guide
Along the straight and narrow way,
And may we never turn aside.
At last find Gods eternal day.
