When man sinned In the Garden OF
Eden God planned for the Saviour of
the world. When Abraham was led
out from his people, 1t was not as a
mere individual bat as the father of a
great race. When Joseph was cruelty
sold into Egypt God allowed the
wrath of man to praise Him." for lie
had in mind the preservation of His
people in the great famine, and the
future development of their children
When Moses was born, IL was no
chance happening that his mother dis
obeyed Pharaoh, no chance happening
that he was placed on the river banks
when Pharaoh's daughter came TO

would allow we could trace Gods
plans from the past through all his

for time and eternity.
Contrast with this the limitations of
the human mind. We cannot plan for
an hour before us with any absolute
certainty. At any hour some outside
influence may change our lives or the

Look at this question and from an

God is infinite not only in His wis

ness, goodness, truth and love.
How patient. loving and kind our
heavenly Father has been in His deal
ings with men. with the Israeiites of
old, with His bentghted children in
heather lands with the men and
women who know the truth. who
know what Ia right, and yet who re-

loving guidance, with His church, SO
often filed with many worldly men
and women, who think more OF their
pleasures or decentralization than
doing fully the will OF God. How won
derful God is in His infinite love.
Every act towards men and every
word and thought have been the pro-
ducts OF His love.
On the other hand look at mans
inhumanity to man" Cain began 1t,

treated, abused and taken the life OF

The Princess and Factory Girls

Charitable work appears to be the
favorite prescription for wounded
heart when the owner is rich or OF
high degree. The latest woman to
try the heartcure is Princess Marie
Louise of Schleswig- Holstein. She
is a granddaughter of queen Victoria
and was one of the special favorites
Of the famous British Queen. She
married Prince Albert Of Anhalt some
years ago, but the marriage proved "a
very unhappy one. and it was dissolv-
ed. Since then the princess has made
her home in England.
Her special protige is the London
factory girl, and few weeks ago she
started a club for such of these girls
as work in Berrnondsey. one of the
most squalid, eoverty-stricken quar-
ters of Southl st London, The new
club has cost 4ore than fifteen thou
Sand dollars to fit up. and every cent
haas been collected by The princess.
II is said that she took up the
factory girls to begin with chiefly to
divert her mind, but 1t is quite evident
that she now takes a sincere interest
IN them. The club is situated in Ja-
1uaica road, Bermondsey. and consists
of two houses which have been thrown
into one. with 81 small house adjoin-

Crooked Pins and How They Get Found Out

I visited q factory. one day, where
pins are made. A long brass wire
is lawn in at one end of a ma
chiiE and at the other end out
come the pins, more OF them than
you could count. Most of them are
fine and straight. but a few come
out crooked. The machine drops
them all into "a great heap, the
crooked and the straight together.
But 1t would never do to send them
all to market. for nobody wants bent
pins. So the crooked ones must be
picked out from the others and set
aside, while the straight ones are
placed In shining rows in paper
rolls. such as you see in the stores.
IT would seem an endless task
to find Them. You would never
guess how it Ii done! Nobody's
eyes look for them; nobody's fingers
pick them out. Each pin 10 made
