THE RETURN,
While shadows deepen o'er the dying day
A weary wand'rer totters on his way,
Caring but little where his steps may lead,
Only a place to lay him down his need,
fieside a vine-clad church he hovers near,
The organ-notes are pealing; mem'ries dear
Come thronging of a sweet, sweet long ago
When in the faint hush of the twilight's glow
A child he knelt beside his mother's knee,
And heard her sofily sing : "Abide with me."
The dawn awakes" and earthly shadows flee;"
Ah, yes ! it is the same dear melody;
In dreams he listens to the gentle strain
That bears him back to childhood days again;
There in the little home 'mid flow'rs ablow
A loved one's singing while the lights are low;
He seems to feel the touch of mother's hand;
To catch a glimpse of yonder Borderland,
As on the calm night air so tenderly
Still swells the hymn divine : "Abide with me."
With bated breath he hears the chorus sing;
New hope seems borne to him on angel wing
As o'er Life's seas with joy his wand'ring eyes
Behold the shinning hills of Paradise.
In whispered accents, 'ncath the window there,
He otters up an humble falt'ring prayer:
"Through cloud and shine, Father, do not depart,
But solace give unto my yearning heart !
Though friends forsake and from me comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me !"
Henry li. Muchmore.

THE MISSINO CHAPTi-R.
The new pastor of a certain
country parish is likely to lose the
confidence of his flock unless he
changes his ways. During his
sermon one Sunday morning no'
long back he slopped abruptly and
asked :
"How many of those here are
diligent students of their Bibles?"
l-'ifty hands went up.
"Good," said the pastor. "Now,
how many of you have read the
second chapter of Jude ?"
Twenty-five hands went up.
A wan smile overspread the di
vine's face.
"That's also good, but when you
go home read the chapter again,
and you will doubtless learn some
thing to your interest."
The point of this story lies in
the fact that the Book of Jude con

SPECULATION.
The teacher of a night school in
Chicago was endeavoring to instill
in the mi::ds of the discouraged
pupils some notions of ambition.
"Do you know," he asked of a
seedy-looking boy of 20, "that
every lad in ihis country has a
chance to be President ?"
"Is that so?" asked the seedy
one, reflectively. Then he added:
"Say, I'll sell my chance for ten
cents.

Society to encourage free speech
among the negroes of the neigh

he was confronted by a proud win

"Now, what was the subject of

"De subject were, "What is de

HIS RESERVES.
An Englishman who stopped i
overnight at a Western American
hostelry noticed that, instead of
ringing a bell at meal time the pro
prietor went to the front door and
fired a double-barreled shotgun.
Later in ihe evening the English
man commented on the strange
procedure.
"That's a novel idea of yours,"
he remarked to the proprietor,
"calling your guests by firing a
gun."
"Y-a-s," drawled the proprietor
"it generally fetches 'em around

"Yes," admitted the English
man. "But pardon the question,
why do you discharge only one
barrel?"
"Wouldn't do to shoot 'em
both," answered the proprietor.
"I lave to keep t'other barrel to
collect pay for meals and lodging!"

Dr. D. M. McDonald.
The only key that Christ left us
with which to unlock heaven is
seldom used by us. We seem to
be content to have our names on
the church roll, attend church, take
the communion and leave (he rest
tor the ministers.
How many of us eat without
giving thanks to the God that gave
us the food? How many hold
family prayers for their children,
and then wonder why their chil
dren do not lead a Christian life?
These are serious facts that exist
in our churches today. "Lovers
of pleasure more than lovers of
God," (Prophecy). My brethren,
we must wake up to the fact that
we do not do as our Saviour
The last thing He did before
trial was to pray alone in the
den of Gethsemane, and we
no account of His taking a
without looking up to God
giving thanks to His Father.
may not think this is not impor
tant, but some one has to do the
praying for the community, or ii
will go to ruin.
The message is so sublime:"Ask,
and ye shall receive, seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened to you." Why we can go
right into heaven on prayer.
A poor man very much in need
silling by his fireside thinking what
he would do, dreamed one night
that he had at last got to heaven.
The angel met him and said:
"Would you like to see ihe store
house?" So they went through
it, and to his surprise he saw a
large number of packages marked
to him. He said: "Why didn't
you send these down?" Tlieangel
replied: "You never called for
them."
My friends, go to God in prayer
for your wants. The storehouse
of God is full. 'Ask, and you
shall receive."
You may be in good health; you
may have plenty of this world's
goods, but the time is coming when
you are going to need a Saviour.
So "call upon Him while He is
near." Do not wander off into
sin so far that you will not be able
to get back to God.
