ANSWERED PRAYER.
I know not by what methods rare,
But this I know-God answers prayer.
I know not when He sends the word
That tells . us fervent prayer is heard.
I know it cometh soon or late ;
Therefore we need to pray. and wait.
I know not if the blessing sought
Will come in just. the guise I thought.
I leave my prayers with Him alone,
Whose will is wiser than my own.

HOLINESS AND ERROR.
;s. ;s. GALLAHER.
Will the baptism with the Holy Ghost, -
with its (at least) attendant blessing
of holiness, deprive a person of all gross
errors? To me, this: appears to be a
very important question just now, as
there is getting to be quite a number
of holiness people who seem to think it
will; indeed, I have almost heard it so
asserted from .the pulpit, and that it is
the only sure remedy to the many popu-
lar _ Christian errors of our day, and
that to preach against these errors was
a mistake, as it only tended offend
the unsanctified ear and drive people
away from giving you a hearing; but
that the proper way to get rid of these
errors was to get people to enjoying
the eiperi(mce of holiness, and that
would take them all out of them.
Now, if this be true, how is it that
the church at Jerusalem, notwithstand-
ing the baptism of Pentecost
and results, still held
to the very fallacious notion that the
gospel was intended for the Jews only,
so that ''they that were scattered
abroad upon the tribulation that arose
about Stephen traveled . . speaking
the word to save only to Jews?"
And even the Apostle Peter, though
by the laying on of bis hands, ''The
Holy G-host was given'' to the Samari-
tans, and-he could pray life back into
the dead Tabitha, yet was carrying
around all these five or six years the
very erronious notion that the gentiles
were'' common and unclean,'' and that
''it was an unlawful thing for a man
that is a Jew to join himself or come
unto _ one of another nation''; then
_when; by a special Divine effort, he
was so far relieved of theae errors that
he went down to the house of Cornelius
and prellched-the Wbrd there, he was
called to an account for it by the
at Jerusalem, and had to correct
their mistaken notioiis, using the same

same sensuous sex. influence that is so
controlling with libertine and havlot
dancers. A single fact ought open
the eyes of all who with dove-like sim-
pl!city, spe.ak of dancing as an amuse-
merit, namely, that no progress in sin;
vice, or crime lessens the love for danc-
ing, !Jut rather creates the greater de-
mand for its helpful excitements. The
dance houses are fitly connected with
the .harlot's houses, aU:d to the
habitations of thieves, robbers and cut-
throat villains.
The liberties guaranteed and granteJ
to men in the dances, are suppo;ed., to
be endured by blushing and .purely
virtuous women ; as they really are by
chaste and ignorant maidens. But the
real truth is, these liberties could not
be taken were not the women dancers
pleased to have them taken. And the
.sensual excitements of the danc.e are
.by no means confined to the men who
are favored with the privileges of the
occasion, but are by the fair ladies who
would bhsh to tell (if indeed they real-
ly ,knP.w) the secret of the. pleasures
and subsequent exhaustions experi-
e-nced in and ilfter the dance. If any
doubt the evilness and lustfulness of
the dance of .modern civilization, let
them any candid man or womall
that has to a considerable extent known
and enjoyed it, to give a brief state-
ment of experience ; and they will be
satisfied that dancing is not among the
"mnusmnents," but chief of the un-
chaste and corrupting indulgences.
_Nor is its character change.d by the
patronage and . participation of sena-
tors, lodges, or even of professors of
's r eligion. Its appeals are to
sensual lusts, and its victims are num-
bered by the thousands. Let all under-
stand the essential spirit of the dance
and wUl to defend it, . while
the pure and virtuous will condemn
nnd shun it as they would their
daughters shun the well-dressed and
polished libertine. It is full time that
dancing be considered intelligently,
and its essential character and attrac-
tions exposed fearlessly, so that the un-
wary may not be enticed to its ruinous
excitements under the idea that it is
one of the many ''amusements,'' its
votaries the meanwhile laughing at 'the
soft impeachment, so helpful to its pop-
ularity, and its lustful work-Chris-

OUR- MISSIONARY. WORK.
_FROM DARK AFRICA. , .

.Cape Colo1,1y, South Africa.
Dear readers of th'e Messenger. Greet-
ings in Jesus name.
Sqme ti111e ago the superintendent of
the work here infor.med me that he was
contemplating a change in the workers
and that I with .two other missionaries
were to go open 'up an 'upcountry
station. Shortly after I left Port Eli-
zabeth for East where I met
my co-workers . . We traveled by trairi
to the end of the railway line. It
landed us at Butterworth, a .small up-
country town. We made inquiry and
found we :were yet eighty-five miles
from our destination; so we decided to
make the rest of our journey in an ox-
wagon. The trip was filled with new
experiences from the beginning to the
end. There was .another wagon besides
our own making the trip. .There were
five natives in it. One of them under-
stood English well and interpreted for
us, th.us enabling us to preach the gos-
pel al1 along the way. On out-panning
for the .first night we took 'down the
little folding organ and began to sing
their songs in their. own language. They
enjoyed it greatly and we found two
or three among them who knew God.
we had prayer together and retired
for the first time in an ox-wagon out
on the plains of Africa, surrounded by
Kaffir huts. The farther we traveled
the darker'the scene gre\v. The third
day of our journey we met heathendom
in all its blackness and degeneracy.
When we outspanned for dinner we
found ourselves surrounded by round
huts with thatched roofs and emerging
from these beings y'ou could hardly rec-
ognize as human. The children up to
twelve or: fifteen wear no clothing at all.
The women wear a short skirt and some
of them in addition to this have a piece
.of cloth pinned around under their
arms. The men have nothing but
blankets thrown around them. These
they take off at their pleasure, throw
across their walking stick and hang
over their shoulder and march on
through the country. It was 'this day
we met our first real heathens. While
we were singing a crowd of .half nude
. young women gathered around us. We
asked them if they knew anything
about Jesus. They told us they had
never heard his name before. How in-
tently they listened as we told theni
the story of the Cross and of the man
J esus who had died to them
from sin. They believe in an evil spirit,
and the power that this belief wields
over them is appalling. They are filled
with coustant . fear of enraging him,
and the O.l)lY way they know to appease
his wrath when stirred up against them
is . through the power of
s .
and witchcraft. The .witch doctor is an
adored person among them imd one
that has great influence over them.
They could ha;rtUy _grasp .the fact that
there had one died who could com-
pletely deliver them from the' evil one.
When we outspanned for the night we
noticed several huts near us. We sent
one of the drivers to invite them over
to th.e wagon the evening
service. It proved to be the home of
one man who had as many wives as
he had huts. He and fourteen of his
family came over to the meetina
dressep in their heathenish costume:.
They enjoyed the meeting and begged
us to remain \v.itfi them for a while, but
this we could not do. The next day
was a repedtion of the third. The aw-
ful condition of the heathen was dawn-
ing upon us, and our hearts were aching
for the salvation of Africa as never be-
fore. You can listen intently as the
missioqary gives his lecture, but the
awful cooditjon of a nation void of. the
-knowledge of God. must be seen to be
realized. We reached Umtata, the lit-
tle town where we are located, the
morning of the fifth day. Thus ended
orie of the most thrilling trips I ever
took up to this \V e look upon
nature, behold her flowing rivers, her
magnificent falls, her towering moun-
tains, and numerous. other scenes of
grandeur and and while doing
so look a skeptical world in the face,
crying triumphantly, "Behold what

upon a nation robbed of every vestige
of manhood. fallen-oh the of

fact there is not a phase of life known
to a civilized world that these people
are not fallen from. \Vhat a change
comes over you. You feel like falling
upon your face crying out, ''Behold the
awfulness of sin and the power of the
wicked one." Thank God, the blood of
J esus avails for J.his dear sin-bound
people. The needs of Africa a r e great
but they are all counted in in the death
and suffering of Jesus. Through Him
this nation can arise from her slumber
and throw off her shackles of siri. I
have seen some. since coming here, weep
their way to the cross, arise from tb.eir
knees and with shining faces go forth
to serve the living God. Readers, what
w.ill you. do to help her. Can yon meet
Africa's teeming millions at the judg-
ment and tell them yon did your best
for her redemption? Whatsoever you
do, do quickly. They are reaching out
their hands for help .
Pray much for us; there are many
difficulties to meet and hardships to
brave but they all fade away into in-
significance when yon- consider the
great privilege God has given you of
d eclaring the gospel to this fallt>n race.

ETHICS.
Holiness means purity of heart . and
righteousness of life. As the pure in
heart see God, the vision transforms
both the inner and outer life. Ther e is
no possible questioning that a cl ean
heart filled by the Holy Ghost w' ith
divine love, make the outer life
pure and good. Much emphasis must
be la id upon. a clean life, but the major
emphasis Iri.ust still be iaid upon the
. cl ean heart, which ,\rill contr ol the outer
life. J esns said, " Cleanse first t hat
which is wit hin the cup and platter, that
the outside of them may be clean also. ''
It is as cl ear that a pure heart will work
out a pure life, as that a pure fountain
will send forth a pure stream. It seems
especially in r eference to morals that
St. J ohn said, ' ' The anointing which ye
have r eceived of him abideth in yon and
I
ye neetl. not that any man teach you:
but as the same anointing teacheth you
of all things, and is no lie, and even as
it hath taught you, ye shall abide in
Him." The anointing with the Spirit
upon a pure heart will impel and teach
in ways of holy l iving. The fullness of
divine .love, which causes man to be
without carnality and without hypoc-
risy, will cause the life to be in the
bright-ness of holy living. Whatever

. ness.ar e evidence of the absence. of holi-
ness. The Holy Himself will

who comes_ jn . to live H.i!!. own life in
every sanctified person makes the life
Christly. Ax:e we to . cease preaching
morality of life 1 Certainly not. But
we are to continue to seek it through
the inward purity which the sanctify-
. ing Spirit brings. A sinning religion
is a false religion. He saves us from
our sins. ,,.
That there is. niuch failure we -may
admit, but not so much as the world
would have us believe. Many eyes are
so blurred by sin that they cim see only
evil ; even in the Son of Man they could
only see the image of the devil ; and if
they have seen such a vision of the Mas-
ter, we need not wonder at what they
see in His followers. No one can live
more purely than Jesus, and no faith-
ful one is likely to be seen and painted
in darker colors by the enemy. So we
may rejoi ce that we stand before our
own Master, that the command is, to
walk before Him, and the cause and
battle are His.
Yet that there is failure, and that pro-
fessors of the grace of God sometimes
break down, even that those who have
claimed this blessing of the fullness of
holy love and life give way, frustrate
the grace of God, fall into sin and harm
and hinder the work, no one can deny.
The causes are not far to seek. The
environments are intensely worldly,
and it is to be feared that often the
work has not gone deep enough to r e-
Inove carnality, which springs up at un-
expected times, and in unlooked for
places. As of old when carnality
sprang forth in wickedness, the Lord
said: " They (referring to prophet and
pri!!st) have healed also ihe hurt of
peopl e slightly.'' Great pressure from
without and carnal -pressure from
within blight the tree and blast the
f ruit. From this we may not expect
the cause will entirely escape. Even
among Jesus'. own disciples, and the as-
sociates of Paul, there was breaking
clown and failure, and however much
the desire, we may scar ce expect but it
will continue. Some will doubtless fall
away.
How are we to most effectually labor
. to preserve from falling 1 To give our-
. selves to preaching a high standard of
living ? Yes, this we must continually
do; but 'this is not oux: chief hope.

CAUSES.
'
It may not be a pleasant thing to look
at causes of failure. It may not he a
pleasant thing to look at failur e itself.
But sometimes it is a necessity, antl by
studying the causes we may be helped.
It is readily admitted that the g1eatest
in the way of the triumph
of holiness is in its professors. Not a}.
together nor primarily iri those who
fall away or lapse into sin , but more
especially in their lack of possession of
the inheritance of the anointing Npirit
and the fullness . of love and power.
Without His manifest presence Wt! are
shorn of our strength and are as other
people. Being as other peopl e we are
not efficient agencies for the fur t her-
ance of holiness. Being a holy nati on,
we are a peculiar peopl e, peculjar espe-
cially in the heavenly unction, in which
is r evealed the divine personality who
luis come in to abide and empower ns.
This uncharged and unempowered con-
dition . is t he insuperable condition
which hinders the work in the earth.
Often a r eally anointed soul is t he ex-
ception in the ranlss of holiness people,
where this anointing is the only way of
heavenly proficiency. We must way
for and secure more radical changes
from old conditions, not onl y in the
ending of the sin question, but in that
which follows-the manifestation of
the presence of the Holy Ghost. The
. great hinderance is the lack of di vine
manifestation. Of course He does not
manifest Himself through undevout. un-
faithful and sinning people, neither cloes
the k eeping of the law and a high stand-
ard of morality insure it. It comes
through those who have yielded them-
selves to God, and \vith one purpose
and one accord have waited for the
promise of the Father. We f eel assqred
that the g r eat difficulty is that lack of
concentration and intensity which
touches God and makes the soul His
avenue of present. r evelation and mani-
f estation. The great difficulty is. so
f ew filled . with the Holy Ghost. The
great and the preparation for
the triu'mphant march is, personal pcn
t ecosts-men and women clothed upon
from their house in heaven.

INTEGRITY. .
Holiness fills men and women with
. 'Being freed from that most
baleful thing-selfishness, they have
"freedom from every blasting or cor-
rupting influen'ce or motive." They are
.true .in their ' relations to men, faithful
in the "discharge of agencies, trust.s
and the like,'' and upright in their
wayrf. A , holiness which . does not do
this is spurious-a mere pretence or
And yet is no point
just at this time .which needs to be re-
garded with more prayerful attention.
. '' No ehain is stronger than its weakest
link.'' No character is stronger than
its weakest place. Preceding habits are
likely to leave a soul \veak lit the point
affeetcd. The habits and training of
many of the so-called holiness people
have been such as to leave them pecu-
iiarly weak at the point of fidelity to
men, and even to the cause they have
espoused. The conditions which have
been upon theni in the past, and the
course which it has seemed necessary
for them to pursue, apJilear to have in
some respects weakened their moral
nature, and to have left in some a strong
tendency to unreliability. In the
churehes with which they have been
assoeiated, often there has been little.
spirituality and not infrequently a hos-
tility to holiness. It has seemed to then\
not only allowable but possibly a r eal
neeessity for them to seek other affilia-
tions, and to secure for themselves in
othPr ways what thei r churches did not
provide arid possibly did not allow. In
doing this thing whieh seemed to thein
lnttdable and necessary, they went here
and there, attaching themselves more
or less loosely to this and that associa-
tion of believers. The men whom they
most trusted, warned them to be faith-
ful to their trust in their churches, and
yet called by their word and lured
them by this course to other things.
There was a inore or less lengthened
period of loosening up, and a generally
unguided effort to seek better things,
antl yet in this way many were helped,
found neiv light and a better experi-
ence. And yet on the part of many not
without the suffering of serious loss-
loss of a sacred sense of loyalty to men.
. Wi1erever they .landed, or whether they
landed at all, some had lost that fine
. pe1ception of obligation to men, so
necessary for excellence of Christian
character. They did not become self-
centered, put became without center,
and unreliable, falling into conditions
betray men, as vy-ell as sacred
and holy causes. These.
who fall the snare of sel-
. fisp .underta:kings, .wd: into the pit of
fanaticis!JI, and are . not infrequently
found as wrecks along the shore. In
these days of perhaps necessary transi-
tion we need to be careful to so walk
with God as not to become untrue to
men, and thus not only destroy our-
selves bui others also.

A UVIQUE MISSIONARY SUGGESTION.
L. F . Gay.. My dear brother : Yours
received with receipt, and tracts. They
were fine, especially Mrs. Banarjee 's.
Oh how it moved my heart out towards
the dark benighted India. I have writ-
ten Rev. H. F . Reynolds relative to a
special missionary .week in the church
in which we take up an offering of .
whatever the Lord lays on the sainis'
hearts, but especially emphasize the
. suggestion to bring out the Cli!lt-off
jewelry which we have laid away (i e.,
smhe of us) . I have a pair of gold cuff
buttons I laid away six years ago. Let
us bring them out and I am sure it
would make a great . offering if you
would all do so, and it would be used
to a better purpose than that which
Aaron ._put those of Israel to. Am.en.
I suggested the last in August
as an a'ppropriate day for the offerings
and the papers issued the week preced-
ing as special papers. Amen. Oh, that
our missionary work will take a firmer
hold on our hearts.
F . J . Thomas.
Now beloved, get out your golden
trinkets (not tinsel) and send them to
Bro. Leslie F. Gay, treasurer, and let
us have a s weeping up for the sake of
souls on both sides-yours and the
thousands in darkness. '\Ve hear that

in his hands to be sold for the

AT THE TABERNACLE
altar, and th.e ser.v:ice was crQwned w.ith
"'' victory.
There was a fine congregation to
greet Bro. in the morning at
the Tabernacle, a spirit of. freooom
:filled the morning worship. The "sub--
ject of the ntol'ning was drawn from a
text chosen in Gen. 5 :23, And Enoch
walked with God, and was not, for God
took him. ,.
1
After giving a little de-
scription of the quiet walk alone "with
God, he spoke of how Enoch walked
with God amid the unfavorable circum-
stances of the evil times in which he
lived, and the unbroken walk amid the
cares of bringing up a large family of
children with a sweet testimony that
his ways pleased the Lord. A few of
the many points emphasized in the ser-
mon were as follows: To walk with
God we must be in harmony with God;
we must take Him as our constant
. and a walk with 'God will
beget godlikeness. This walk with God
implies :that we are in the same way,
and keeping step; that we are aggres-
sive and making progress have the con-
scious presence of God, and enjoy-
ment of inter-communication. The
crown of this walk alone with God
would be the testimony that our ways
please tlie Lord.
In speaking of the translation of
Enoch, after describing how he was
taker from earth, the speaker said
that to his mind it emphasized the
reality . of the existence of another
world, heavenly; as well as unity in the
constitution of man, and revealed God's
plan in the redemption of the race. The
sermon was blessed to the comfort of
many hearts as the world of life and
glory filled with immortal joys was
clearly brought to view.
The afternoon holiness meeting was
an hour of precious memory, and . given
largely to testimony. Bro. Girvin
said the great need for our work was to
keep the divine freedom, and spoke of
how easily people could lose their free-
dom. He expressed his appreciation of
this great movement of God, and for a
place where God could have his way.
A strong tide of spiritual life filled the
service. There was one seeker at the
altar who in deep earnest sought for
sanctification. This sister gave a glad
testimony at the evening service that
she had found the pearl of price.
Bro. E . A. Girvin, who has been with
us for a few days and has brought sev-
eral brief messages in the v.a<r.ious ser-
vices, much to the delight and blessing
of our people, gave a Vf!!rY Jrelpful ser-
mon on "Giving up to conquer," from
this text, "Give it shall be g.iven
;you. '' He very clearly brought out this
'1'f'w "in ihe various departments of life,
a:nd showed how by giving up the. up. _
important .things we might obtain the
all-impor.tant. J;t was a 'deep, practical
sermon .and was greatly blessed of God
to the. !}>eo.ple. There wel'e three at the

STREET . MEETING .
Once more our God was with us in
the six o''clock street meeting, and the
saints prayed. and sang prais.es,
prisoners heard them. Acts 16 :25. For
the power was off from the street cars
(but not off from us) and fi;ve carlQads
of people heard the message of salva-
tion as it poured from the hearts of
God's children. Much interest and some
conviction was manifest in the faces of
those on the sidewalks and two raised
their hands for prayers, and some fol-
. lowed to the chur ch. ''They that do
know their God shall' be strong anrl do
exploits.''

GRAND AVENUE CHURCH.
The glorious . Fourth was religiously
celebrated with salvation;- and the pres-
ence of the Lord was on the people . .
Rev. B. N. Conoway, an old soldier-
preacher, who had passed through the
fight, both carnal and spiritual, in civil
and religious warfare, preached a splen-
'did sermon on <last Sabbath from 2 Tim.
1 :12,- "For I ''know him, .whom I have
believed. '' The glory of the Lord shone
round about, and the spirit of liberty
and of testimony fell on the saints at
the close of the servi'Ces in gracious
anointing. Six persons were received
into the . church. The evening street
meeting was full of fire, both earthly
and heavenly, as the fir-e-crackers were
shot around about and the fire f ell on
our hearts from heaven. Bro. LaFon-
taine preached at night from Gen. 17:
21, ''What aileth thee.'' At the altar
'service two souls were forward and
were blessed in salvation.

CUCAMONGA,' CAL.
.We arrived at our new field of lahor
June 22 and our first Sabbath was a
blessed day; Our God was with us in
each service, leading us on and giving
victory. Thursday was our ali-day
meeting. A goodly number was with
Humphrey and Talbctt
and Sister Whipple, al so others from
Ontario and Uplands. We had a bless<d
time. We did not mind the warm
weather much because we had a fire of
heavenly love burning in our souls and'
there was no comparison. Glory to
God. We have found a band of blessed
Nazarenes here that make a business of
serving the Lord. Someone was bert
before we came evidently, because
are like trees planted by the rivers of
water that bringeth fourth their fruits
in their season.

A MEXICAN CONVENTION.
We arrived at San Diego Wednesday
evening. The Mexican convention
opened . Thursday afternoon at the
Mexican Presbyterian church. The
Spirit of God has been upon the meet-
ings from the beginning, the climax be-
ing reached Sunday night when Mrs.
McReynolds had charge of the closing
service. When the altar. call was given
several came forward as a;fter
God. The Lord certainly has given ns
victory -in San Diego thus far. Sinrr.
we .cannot return by boat until Wednes-
day evening we have arranged to con-
duct a three days' evangelistic meeting
at the Nazarene tabernacle ..
There are thousands of Mexicans in
this city and but one small Protestant
church among them. Surel y tliere is
gr.eat opportun.ity for aggressi-ve worl{

We are praying that the Lord will
open the way for a summer campaign
among the Mexicans of Southern Cali-
for.nia; and alveady some money bas

ILLINOIS HOLINESS UNIVERSITY.
For a number of years God has been
laying upon the hearts of a few men
to er ect a college, wn.e're -God should be
honored, and holinl ss taught, and the
welfare of the student placed
first. To this end a few years ago, two
men bought four hundred and twenty-
four acres of Illinois' finest land, eighty-
five acres of which is a natural park
with about one thousand maple and
other forest trees. No more beautiful
site could be had in the co.untry. This
land is dedicated to the erection of a
holiness college. -i
Dr. A. M. Hills has been elected
president of this new institution. He
comes to this school with the -ripe ex-
perience gathered through the years of
successful service in ministry and col-
lege life. He is one of the best educa-
tors in the .movement. As a teacher in
theology and homiletics he is unsur-
passed. He will gather about him a
splendid faculty of college trained men
and women, sanctified, and consecrated
to the work of the Master.
The school will carry the full college
courses. Also will car ry a f ully
equipped commercial department,
school of theology, of music, of oratory,
and especially a strong primary school.
Those interested may get our full
courses by writing us. Student s may
enter at any time, of any age, and any
stage o study, and feel perfectly free
among the highest.
College year opens September 14,
1909, and we are planning for an open-
ing conventi on beginning September 3,
1909, and continuing to September 14.
This college is undenominatiqnal.
Our motto is ''Holiness unto the Lord,''
which we etpect to keep prominl:'nt in
every branch of our work. Students of
all denominations are welcome among
us.

COW AN, MONT.
My name appears in the list of the
Northwest District as an "elder with-
out charge. " There is no Nazarene
church in the whole State of Montana,
but I believe the prediction of Rev. H.
D. Brown, who said to me, a year or
two ago-; when I was conferring with
him with r eference to the Nazarene
church, ''Ther e will be churches organ-
ized near I am living on a home-
stead and laboring for a support, and
at the same time going on Sundays aH
the Lord l eads to places where preach-
ing is desired and there may be oppor-
tunities for doing good. Here at home
the work is ha mper ed by the r emoval
of several families, and t hose Jeft are
inexperienced in church work; but I am
preaching salvation to them and hope
that God will give the increase.
Our people were pl eased with Bro. H.
F . Reynolds on his r ecent visit, and .
p.ersonally I was much profited. by his
social and spiritual communion with us.
Nazare,ne Messeng.er
At Strater; a siding on the Great
Northern, where there is a n ew and
growing settlement of Eastern people
and a new school house, I have started
an appointment -and or'ganized a Sun-
day school, and am preaching salvation
to the people. I was at Nashua, a sta-
tion on the .Great. Northern about 80
miles east, June 19-20, and preached
Saturday riight to a small but attentive
audience. But .a rainy day .on Sunday
kept me from going to a country point
where ther e is said to be a good inter-
est, and r eturning to Nashua at night.
My home while th.er e was with a holi-
ness family with whom the communion
of saints was very pleasant, and who are
looking to the Nazarene church as a
possible future .home.

SOME HELPFUL RULES FOR LIFE.
Dr. Van Dyke writes:
"You shall l earn to desire nothing in
the world so much but that you can be
happy without it.
"You shall seek that which you de-
sire only by such means as are fair and
lawful, and this .will leave you without
bitterness towards men or shame before
God.
" You shall take. pleasure in the time
while you are seeking, even though you
obtain not immediately that which you
seek; for the purpose of a journey is
not only to arrive at the goal, but al so
to find enjoyment by the way.
"When you have attained that which
you desired, you shall think more of the
ldndness of your fortune than of the
greatness of your skill . This will makl'
you grateful, and r eady to share with
other s that which Providence hath be-
stowed upon you; and truly this is both
reasonable and profitable, for it is but
little that any of us would catch in this
world were not our fortune better than
our deserts.
"I think God is best pleased with us
when we give little heed to scoffers,
and enjoy his gifts with thankfulness
and an easy h eart.,,
To all this, my boy, you may sub-
scrlbe with a sincere ''Amen,'' for its
philosophy is that of work and content-
ment in work- honest work for an hon-
est purpose.

Our Young People
WE'RE CHUMS, YOU SEE.
They wonder why I run and tell
Of every little thing;
.And say I'm such a baby boy,
Tied to an apron string. . .
But truly I don't blame them much;
They're different from me ;
My mother knows just what is what,
Because we're chums, you see I _
When things are in a tangle-up,
.And tempers snarling, too ;
When someone needs a whipping bad,
(And maybe it is you I)
She never scolds nor make& a fuss,
But, sweet as sweet can be,
Will try to help a fellow out,
Because we're chums, you see!
r She ciphers with me on my slate,
; Then helps me read and .spell,
And makes me study hard and learn
To say my lessons well.
And mother's great at games; she likes
To play as as me;
When our side wins, she's just as glad,
Because we're chums, you see!
I'm sorry for those. other chaps,
I pity every one;
They'd like to haye a chum like mine
: For all they're poking fun.
,_. Some mothers are too tired I . know,
And others do not care
:_ To bot her with the little boys,
Their plays and studies share.
Bnt mine! She 's just the very best
Of loving friends to me!
And, oh, I'm such a happy son,
Because we're chums, you see!
OLD JACK THE CART-HORSE.
Jack was a wise old cart-horse in our
village. Often, when a child, I nsed to
stand at the door of the shop of John
Hall, the blacksmith, and see him shoe
old Jack.
How cheerful it was, of a cold day,
to see the fire :flame up as John moved
the bellows up and down ! And::r.,then,
:vhen he took up the horseshoe in his
1ron pincers, and laid it on the anvil,
and made the sparks :fly as he ham-
mered, how intently would I watch the
scene !
One day Mr. Hall's boy, in shoeing
drove a nail the wrong way. Jack
d1d not find it out until he had gone
h?me, and then the nail began to pain
h1m a good deal; so what did he do
but open the gate and limp back to the
blacksmith's shop!
Mr. Hall saw him coming, and knew
at once that something must be the mat-
ter. Jack came in, and held up his
lame foot, as much as to say, "Please
tnke off my shoe.'' Mr. Hall took it
off, bathed the foot, and replaced the
shoe, whereupon the old horse trotted
back to his master's farm. "
J ack was always very playful. He
Nazarene Messenger
liked to have a bit of fun with his mas-
ter, and would run round and round
the pasture when the latter came to har-
ness him. But he never kept his master
waiting more than two or three minutes.
It was all meant as a joke.-The Nurs-

THE SECRET OF A GOOD MEMORY.
The secret of memory .is concentrated
attention. What you attend to closely
and what you fully understand-that
you will not and cannot forget, any
more than you can forget your own
name ..
So begin today. V\1Jlen you are do-
ing something, do that something and
nothing else. And tonight look back
over the day, recall every detail as viv-
idly as you can. You will be surprised
at how little you can r emember. But
do it again tomorrow night, and the
next night, and the next; and by the
end of the month you will be surprised
and delighted at the increase of your
power, not only of memory, but of men-
tal power in generaL-Professor Cun-
ningham.
MORE VALUABLE THAN MANY
SPARROWS.
A pretty story is told by one of the
daily papers of a sparrow that built its
nest in a freight car that had been
ordered to the shops for repair. When
the car was in order and started again
into service, a nest full of young spar-
. rows seemed about to be robbed of a
mother's care. But though the car trav-
eled several hundred miles, the mother
bird would not desert her yoU.ng. The
sympathy of the trainmen was touched,
and they notified the division superin-
tendent, who ordered the car out of
commission until the little birds were
able to care for themselves. If a great
railroad system can be ordered so as to
protect helpless sparrows, is it hard to
believe that the great Superintendent
of the universe orders all things for the
good of His children '1-The Herald and

Be merciful. It is not often that we
.cry "Kings ex.," but we have just r ead

It contained over two thousand alleged

manuscript could have been stated in
200 words. Fifty saints who do not
need the contents will read the l ong
article for -conscience sake, while 6,000
who should kn<fw the contents of the
