the trial postponed, brought in suit

When became twenty-one, my
father began occasionally to dl-'
vide around among his children a.
nice little sum to each, always ac-,
companying the gift with the as,
surance that if we ever endorsed
for others. or in any way became
responsible for their shortcomings,
it was the last money we should
ever get from him. This condi-
ton during his life was of great
value to me, and since then have
been so accustomed to view the
invitation of my friend to en-
dorse for him, in its true light, that
my refusal rarely fails to be prop
erly received.


My neighbor is in active bu- =
siness, and / sm only a farmer
out OF debt, with a little at inter-
est, bringing up and educating a
family of children. He comes to
ne, holdiag out note, large fOr~
me to sign, saying


Il wish you would Just write :
your name on the back of this =
l need the money very much--it :
will be great accommodation to ,
me, and you will only have to ,
write your name"


My answer is-"My friend, do .
you really understand what my
position would be before the world
and the law, if / were to do this?
| should instantly proclaim that ,
from a state of complete indepen-
denee, and without the slightest :
reason for a similar favor from you,
and for no condition whatever, ex-
cept friendship, ! have agreed to
take upon myself the risk of your
business, with the difference a.
gainst me, that if you lose l lose,
and if you gain / do not. Ishare
in your losses and not in your
profits, Now if this Is true, ,ought
| not first to ask the consent Of
my wife? Her interest in the risk
IS the same as mine-her Judgment
is just as good, and her friendship
for you is the same. But not on
ly this; should affirm before the
public that you are responsible,
when | really know nothing OF
your circumstances, and in so far
help you to deceive others. I
give you a false credit. In shortI
should do that which no honest
man. true to himself and to his
family, can do and be blameless.
Will any right minded, real friend,
with this view Of the case, ask OF
me such possible sacrifce?' o.

the bread. The meals We're one dollar

What a power is in that cheering
So it often is with those who are ready
to give ont by the way. They would

word of cheer. God put it in the


heart of some one to speak to them.


Have You ever cheered desponding
| heart thuss Or have you let the OPP


portunity slip by with the feeling:


cam I my brothers keeper?" We are
all, in sense, our brothers keeper.


Is there a poor, down-hearted man in


your community whom sickness and
misfortune have reduced? Don't give
him the cold shoulder, as is the worlds
custom when II person is unfortunate.
| Cheer him, and see if it will not infuse
| new life into his heart. Do more.
Lend helping hand.


What would you have done that day
your wheel got stuck in rut, if a neigh
Dor had not happened along who could
lend you Ia helping hand for five minutes?
1t was very little for him to do, but it
was worth great deal to you. A little
after, you were rolling along prosper
ously, as if nothing had happened.
Just so Il little cheer and little help
often puts poor neighbor on the road
again. Surely it We're worse than ch,u-
lish to refuse to give what costs you
such little effort, yet it is worth 30
much.
