lie accosted a widow at the
gaie, asking for drink and for
food. She confessed, in sorrow,
thai she was on her way to gather
firewood for the last meal for Iter
son. All she had left was a hand
ful of meal ami a little olive oil in
a cruse.
To her astonishment, this Israel
ite bade her prepare ihe meal for
him, saying tli.it if thus she fullill
ed the law of hospitality her scanty
store would mil fail until the
drought was over. "And the bar
rel of meal wasted not, neither did
the cruse of oil fail, according to
the word of the Lord, which lie
spoke by lilijah." Mrs. Charles
has gathered the message of ihe
story into her familiar lines:
"Is thy cruse of comfort failing?
Rise and share it with another,
And through all the years of fam
ine It shall serve thee and thy broth
er. Love and divine will till ihy store
house. Or thy handlul still renew.
Scanty fare lor one will open
Make a royal least lor iwo.
"For the heart grows rich in giv
ing; All its wealth is living grain;
Seeds which mildew in the garner,
Scattered, till with gold the plain
Is thy burden hard and heavy
Do thy steps drags wearily?
Help to bear thy brother's burden;
i (lod will bear both it and thee."
j Due point remains to be noted.
It wa. lo the man about the
I Lord's work that ihe rav ens came
and for whom the widow':, barrel
' and cruse marv ellously replenish
led. God's care is for those who

For All Thirsts Pepsi-Cola
IN GLAD
BY FRANK L. STANTON.
The world, they say, is gettin' old an' weary as can be;
But write me down assayin' it's good enough for me !
It's good enough, with all its grief, its pleasures, an' its pain;
An' there's a ray of sunshine for every dropo' rain !
They stumble in the lonesome dark, they cry for light 10 see;
But write me down assayin' it's light enough for me!
It's light enough to lead us on from where we faint an' fall,
An' the hilltop nearest heaven wears the brightest crown o' all1
They talk about the fadm' hopes that mock th: years to be;
But write me down assayin' there's hope enough for me!
Over the old world's wailin' ihe sweeter music swells :
In the stormiest night I listen an' hear the bells the hells!
This world o' (iod's is brighter than we ever dream or know;
It's burden's growin' lighter and it's love that makes 'em so!
An' I'm thankful that I'm livin where love's blessedness 1 see,
'Neath a heaven that's torgivm', where the bells ring 'Home' to me

"I do not see anv cniise for

as he arose; and to iiimienieni
of all the passoiijrers, lie cross

with II courteous bow , extended
his arms. "I'lease let me hold

The child opened wide her

Come now, we will see the

The passengers looked on in

came quiet. The effect of this
kind, manly act was electrical:
it was a silent rebuke to every
person in the car. In a mo

Fred in caring for the liltlo

was the exclamation of the
girls; and with motherly ten

the child. But she clung et
naciotisly to Fred, as if resent
ing their long neglect ami their
sudden overtures of devotion.
The lean woman put aside her
turkey fan and went deep into
her lunch basket for a "drum

' Yes, sir; she's very bad oil',

have a little change and I
thought I would just tiller it to ;
her, From what she told me j

" I ndeed, indeed !" said t he ;

Byes, you and your ma be coin- i

"Now I want your name."
"Fred Weston. "
"Here's my curd, Bred, and I
want you to keep it and if you ever
want a situation, ever want assist
ance in time of trouble, just come
to me. You are a noble little fel
lowa liitle gentleman. Your at
tention to that poor woman and the
courage you have shown in help
ing her, are a guarantee that you
are sure to make a great and good
man." Here the train stopped
and he arose. Good-bye, my boy.
You have taught me a lesson I'll
never forget, and you have gained
a friend for life."
A moment later he left the train,
and Fred read on the card the
name of a man who was called the
cotton king of the South and a
man of whom he had often heard.
After having slept for some time
the woman suddenly awoke and
looked about in a puzzled way.
Fred was at her side.
"Now," said she. "I'm feeling
so much better. My sleep has
given me new life," and she look
the baby in her arms and Fred
gave her the money the gentleman
had left for her, w hich proved to
be a very liberal sum more than
the poor woman had seen in years.
She simply bowed her head and
wept as if her heart would break.
Again the train stopped. It was
ihe station at which Fred must get
oil. The woman raised her eyes
with a smile of gratitude that Fred
forever remembered, and the baby
put out its arms and cried piteous
ly for him. I le stood and watched
the train until it turned the curve.
The woman was waving to him
and ihe little arms still beckoned
to him.
"Come, Fred," called out one
or his companions.
"Yes, I'm coming," said Fred,
wiping a mist that had suddenly
gathered over his eyes.
