family is becoming interested.
" These biscuits are delicious ; this cake is
excellent," says the father. " I made them,"
says the daughter, and both father and
daughter beam with pleasure.

baking a success, a pleasure and a profit, and

Are your wages too siiiall? In
Europe people are content with
making a living.
Arc the lights too dim? David
wrote his l'salms by the light

Are you ugly ? Cleopatra,
though homely, bewitched two
Emperors.
Are you cold? The soldiers
of Valley Forge walked hare

Are you hungry ? The chil

Are you tired? Why fret
about it? Jacob was tired
when he dreamed of the angels
of heaven.
Are yo sick? Suppose you
had lived two thousand years

Are you poor ? The Saviour
of men was not wealthy.
Why fret ?

Many happenings iu nature

any of the following things
lake place:
When the perfume of flowers
is unusually noticeable. because
damp weather conveys the odor
of (lowers more effectively.
When swallows tly low, be
cause the swallows live on in
sects that tly low when the up
per strata) of air are moist.
When ducks and geese dash
water on their backs, because
by wetting their outer coats of
feathers before a rain they pre
vent the drops from penetra
ting through the open feathers
to their bodies.
When horses and cattlestretch
out their necks and sniff the
air. They smell the increasing
fragrancs preceding a rain
storm.
When spiders hide, because
they know wet weather will
lrive Hies away and their webs
will not snare any food.
When wild flowers ami many
plants close, because they are
very sensive and fold their pet-
als to protect the stamen from
the raindrops.
PUNCTUATION.
Returning from school a little
girl proudly informed her moth

"Well, dear," replied moth

0 leiirii today's lesson well
menus a Messing for life to er
ery true Christian. The lesson
relates to the consecrated, the
meinhors of the Hotly of Christ, the
Church, of which He Is the Head.
The Muster s rule for His followers
Is, If a brother Injure you, go to bltu
jl'jiic, striving to reach an understand
ing. The prolmlilllty Is that mlmntkr
lUtmllitQ Is all that there Is of It. Hut
If this does not milttce and you con
sider the mutter serious, ask two oth
ers to accompany you to the offender.
without explaining
the mission leave
their minds free to
bear the ease.
The agreement of
these brethren und
their advice should
be followed by
both. If they dis
agree with you, you
should acknowl
edge that you have
erred. If they agree
with you, and your
opponent refuses to
heed their counsel
"T Uatter Ttat
compasiton on
Mm."
nnd persists lu doing you injury, and
you Btlll think It of sufficient impor
tance to trouble tho Church with the
mutter, you are then nt liberty so to
do. Tho Church's decision Is to be
final, binding upon both. The one re
fusing to hear the Church Is to be
treated as au outsider, not in the sense
of doing him Injury, but abstaining
from nppolntlng him to any position,
or honor lu the Church, until his course
shall ho changed. How Blmplo the Di
vine direction; what a blessing would
como from following It!
Forgive "Seventy Times Seven."
St. i'eter put n hypothetical ques
tion, of how many times a brother
might trespass iiml usk forgiveness and
yet be forgiven would seven times be
the limit? The Master pracUcally de
clared that there could be no limit,
that any brother confessing his fault
mid asking forgiveness must be forgiv
en, If It should recur 4'.K) times. F'
glveiiess is obligatory when asked f t.
I We must not be afraid or following
! the Muster's direction.
I 'Then our Uird gave a parable, to 11
i lustrate this uiatter. A certain king
' hud a reckoning with his servants.
; One owed him ten thousand talents.
! Ills master coiiiin.iiHled him to be Bold,
und all that lie had until 1 lie puymeut
should be made Hut the servant fell
dowu at his muster's feel and besought
hliu to have compassion en htm and
he would pay the debt And the lutis
ter had ctiinpus.slou on him and dis
continued iniy 1'iiillier proseculioti.
The servant llien went out and
found a fellow servant who owed Aim
ail hundred pence He took his fellow
servant by the throat, suylug. "fay
me the hundred ponce thou owest." Ills
fellow-servant besought for mercy,
saying, "Have patience with uie, and 1
will pay thee all " Hut he would not,
and cast liiiu Into prison till the debt
should bo paid. The mutter reached
the ears of the muster, who culled hlui
and said, '"Thou wicked servant! 1
released thee from the penalty of thy
debt; thou shouldst also have had
uiercy upon thy fellow-servant, even
as I had pity upon thee.' And he de
livered 111 i ti to punishment till he should
pay ull that whs due."
An Important Leieon Here.

only ones whom God recognizes as
servants are such as have come Into
