Of High Merit.

Fortunately we often have to do our
work In less time than 1t seems to de-
serve, for that is likely to mean that
the work will be better done than II
we had ample time for 1t. A veteran
Christian worker and writer once said
to a friend: Il never knew anything
worth while to be done that was not
done under pressure. Men who write
under pressure give to their writings a
temper they would not have were
they written at leisure" Pressure
often seems to produce a quality. q
concentration Of thought, that comes
in no other way. Even II we are not
sharply limited in our time for GER
tain piece of work, 1t Is quite within
our power to gain the benefit Of the
sense Of pressure by remembering the
preciousness of every minute Of time,
and the stewardship for which we are
to be held accountable. An easy-going
sense Of having plenty Of time" is
likely to mean a loose. flabby quality
In our work. Let US welcome the en-.
forced safeguards against this with
which the circumstances Of life often
surround us.-Sunday School Times.

Still there had been trying episodes,

that he could provide her with every
