The day lies behind me in shadow,
And only the evening is light!
Iith with a radiant glory
That fingers about the west.
Nv poor heart is aweary. aweary,
And longs, like a child, for rest.
Tell me about the Master:
OF the hills he in loneliness trod,
When the tears and the blood OF his
anguish
Dropped down on Judea's sod.
For 10 me Iife's seventy mile-stones
But a sorrowful journey mark;
Rough lies the hill-cOuntry before me-
The mountains behind me are dark.
Tell me about the Masterl
OF the wrongs he freely forgave:
OF his love and tender compassion,
OF his love that was mighty TO save;
For my heart is aweary. aweary,
OF the woes and temptations OF life.
OF the error that stalks in the MONDAY
OF faIsehood and malice and strife.
Yet ] know that whatever of sorrow
or pain or temptation befall,
The infinite Master has suffered,
And knoweth and pitieth all,
So tell me the sweet, old story,
That falls on each wounded like q
balm
And my heart that was bruised and
broken
Shall grow patient and strong and
calm. Selected.

SAVE YouR OLD CLOTHES.

A good many will feel obliged to wear
their own old clothes, because there is
scarcity of funds to buy new and high
priced ones. but there are also a great
many people who will discard their old
ones after new ones have been pur-
chased.
Take it from one who went through
the war of the sixties, that nothing that
anybody can wear or can eat should be
wasted in a crisis like the present.
Children were largely clothed at that
time by cutting down the worn gar
ments of their elders. and no matter how
careful you can be, or they may be,
there will be plenty of folks who will
be glad to get what you have thrown
aside as unfit for your service. Only
yesterday a widow woman with five
children called to see me. hunting old
clothes to make over for her family.
She has a little farm, but there are
debts, owing. to illness and death in her
family, and she asked for worn things
that could be worked over, and 1 prom
ised to keep her in mind Shoes are so
high that new ones will take a lot of
money, but sometimes there are half
worn shoes which would keep tender
feet from the cold ground where there
is no money to buy new ones.
Wooden cloth IS bound to be high
priced, as wool is scarce.
Cotton cloth is constantly advancing,
and I cannot find plain white domestic
Of fair quality under 20 cents yard.
Old clothes can be patched and do
great service for a long time. Quilts
can be renovated by skillful patching.
Begin in time to save old clothes, and
do not forget that everything that viii
