The article testifies to a great loss by so small an act, and so little thought of. Are we not just on thi- brink of suffering great and lam entable losses? It suggests a thought which should rest heavily upon the mind of every parent in the universe. The idea of dear little children being snatched from the embrace of a fond and tender hearted mother is enough to bring about a serious couisidera- tioii which might bring about a glo rious solution of a much dreaded and very dangerous question. Consecrate it now to God. What is in thine mouth? A tongue of elo quence? Use it for God. The tongue is the mightiest instrument that God ever made. M’hat is in thine hand? A kindly grasp? Give that to some sad soul. Let ns consecrat everything to him—the office, the plow, the pen, the needle, the tongue, the hands, the feet and the heart for Jesus. When the pierced hand of Jesus Christ is laid on the printing press, on wealth, on learning, on beauty,on culture, on every gift and grace in every relation of life, then the splen dor of the millennial dawn will color the eastern sky with its crimson gold.—Selected. 60 YEARS* EXPERIENCE Trade Marks Designs Copyrights Ac.

UnDTHM^Q flDIIP CTHDC A sailor once spoka as follows to llUll I Ull 5 UllUU U I Uilt a large audience of people: “My North Wilkesboro, N. C friends I don’t know how to make a speech, but I want to tell you what one glass of rum did for me. I had a small vessel on the coast. My brother was the mate, and there were two other sailors. I had my wife and two children on board. One night it was stormy. My brother was to keep watch that night. The sailors per suaded him to take one glass of rum to help him through the night. He was not used to liquor. It overcame him, and he sank into a heavy sleep. I woke after midnight to find my vessel a wreck. I took one of the lit tle ones in my arms and my wife took the other. For hours we battled with the cold waves. After a long strug gle the waves swept the little one from my embrace. Before long the other little One was swept from the arms of my wife, and our darlings were lost from us forever. W^e bat tled on with the storm and the waves. Then I looked at my wife, and she was cold in death. I struggled on and made my way to shore. Then I found that my wife, my children, aud all I had in the world were snatched from me by one glass of rum. —North Carolina Baptist. What is in thine hand? A broom? Use it for God. The broom of the domestic servant may be as truly used for God as was the sceptre of David or Solomon. What is in thine hand? A trowel, a hammer, an axe, a chisel, a saw, or some other m(chan- icaltool? Use it for God. Jesus Christ gave dignity to labor; the sweat beads of honest toil stood on his brow.
