Explaining his business, he told me he was employed by the own- j ers of large factory plants 10 study the operations of the pli'nis and to report as to ways and means by which waste might he eliminated. For instance He might find that certain ma chines were wrongly placed to se cure best results or thai the ma chine operatives were making un necessary motions and keeping down the output. Or- Thai the power was insufficient, or was not properly transmitted to the machines, or not fully utilized, or that waste could be cut out by using certain byproducts. 1 hat roll top desks be abolished and flat tops substituted in order that clerks doing merely mechani cal work might not waste time be hind the roll tops. Now It can be seen that the in telligent study of such an efficiency engineer would be of great value to his employers. And in a large way it may be said he is helping to hasten the day of larger production and of fewer hours of labor. And I thought How much we humans need the services of some such efficiency expert ! We are each operating the most valuable and most complex plant in existence the mind and body. There's the dynamo that runs it nervous energy.

Is this transmission all i any machine defective r waste nt' energy, force, m product?

When the machinery of body or mind is overtaxed we do not turn out our best work, and there is depreciation of the machinery. Are we manufacturing happt-' ness ? Are we turning out character ?

Dost thou see not one face of the shadowy hand? l:orever have vanished the radiant smiles Of the lips we kissed fondly before they were chilled, And bitter remembrance with anguish reviles Our dreaming about them since in death they were stilled. Watchman ! oh, watchman ! shall there be many years With their sighing and weeping and sorrow and grief, lire sight conies again to eyes blinded with tears And our innite longings are lost in relief? Turn, turn once again. Heaven's zephyrs must bring The tones of those voices we once loved and adored Watchman ! oh, watchman; dost thou not hear them sing The glad songs of the blest in the courts of the Lord ? Traveler ! Traveler ! sometimes to my ear Come strains and soft echoes from that dim, distant shore When the evening star rises I then seem to hear The dear, ringing voices that on earth speak no more. And, at times, when the gates and portals swing wide To welcome some spirit just translated from earth, A vision of glory surges through as the tide Shows the depth of the waters that gave it its birih. Soon the hand of Jehovah will draw back the veil And disperse the dark mists that seem now to control, With voices triumphant will the glorified hail Our vision eternal in the home of the soul. Then, traveler ! traveler! hush thy weeping and sighing; Lean yet on the Father; still trust in thy God ! I le answers your questions, divinely replying, "My grace is sufficient pass under ihe rod."

A TAINTED DOLLAR. To Him Tlvit Overcometh Will I flive the Morning Stars. If you examine carefully all the supposed joys of life you will find that the most enduring, satisfactory and real joy is work. But, to be joyful, work must be the kind you like. And work, to be liked, must have two elements. First, it must call into play one's j and wrinkled full, normal activities. And second, it must be the crea ting of something. The truest happiness is found in the most complete exercise of our powers. Children are happy because they are doing with all their might "I Have Mingled With Publicans and Sinners I Have Walked in the Dirt and Tried to Keep Clean Do You Want Me ?" What is tainted money, anyhow? Here is a dollar bill that has found its way to church this morning, and presents itself at the altar of worship with the offering. Look at it ! Diny, grimy, smelly, old and many stains. Where have you been all last week, old dollar bill? "Well, I've been going about doing good, for the most part. I've bought food for the hungry and helped pny rent for the poor. I came to town Monday with a poultry rancher and got smell of live poultry on all they can do. Arms, legs, lungs i me.

Those who indulge and I got a suggestion of hum rind in them are happy only by fevered added to me. spells. Between these they are consumed with restlessness, doubt, ennui and despair. The great mass of men are hap py most of the time because they have their necessary work. And where a man finds his right work it is the same to him that play is to a child. Look at this busy humanity.doc tors and lawyers, farmers, mer chants, clerks, letter carriers, en gineers, masons.carpenters, writers and house mothers ! Out of them, as a mighty chorus, arises the hymn of "The joy ofliving." Life is pleasant because it is functioning normally. Life is a burden only when it ceases to function. Every faculty cries for some thing to do. The brain must think, plan, organize, project, imagine, reason, compare, decide. When it has no real business upon which to use these motions, we load it with artificial concerns, such as novels, plays and travel sights, to still its clamor and crav ing. But the people who are amusing their brains are not so happy as those who are using their brains. It is belter to play at work than to work at play. The muscles demand something to do. When we refuse them, they breed poison in us. They curse us with gout and rheumatism and biliousness. The stomach, liver, intestines, heart and lungs all demand steady employment. Give us work, they shout, or we will go on a strike. They are more cantankerous than a labor union, when they are re fused employment. The eye wants work, and the ear and every gland, pore, nerve ; and tendron of our frame. And the soul wants work. We ! must have some one to love, some ! one to revere, something to suffer j and to overcome. I Tannhauser grew weary in the I lap of Venus; he longed for human strife and sorrow.

He got a drink with me, and that night while you people were at prayer meeting I sat at a poker game, changed hands a dozen times, and the bar tender got me in the morning. He paid his fare with me.

The fish man paid me to a cobbler for mending his sea-boots, and the cobbler paid me to a plummer, who repaired a sewer connection for him. The plumber bought a beautiful linle book with me for a birthday present for his little daughierand the bookseller brought me here. "Am I welcome?" "Well, old dollar bill, part of your record is rather shady, isn't it?" "Well, yes, I have mingled with publicans and sinners. I walked in the dirt and tried to keep clean. Do you want me?"

Poor old dollar bill! You have been in the devil's service once or twice or thrice last week. But it is Sab bath morning. You have found your way to the church; you have made your way to the altar -you offer yourself to ihe service of righteousness, standing right be tween the offering of one of the best and most honest deacons on earth, and that of a pure, sweet mother in Israel, who is a living saint. What will be your pleas ure, brethren? Is this grimy, old dollar bill, with all its dirt and smells, 'tainted money?' Or is it good as the gold of Hanilah? Shall one of the ushers bring a pair of tongs and drop it out of the win dow, or shall we receive it into the offering in "good fellowship and full fellowship?" Bob Bur-dette.
