IS YOUR HEALTH
GRADUALLY SLIPPING?
loterettiog Experience of a Texai Lady Who Declares That ii Mora
Women Knew About CarJui Taejr Would Be Spared
Much Sickness and Worry.
Navasota, Texas. Mrs. W. M. Pcdcn,
ollhis place, relates the following interest
ing account oi how &he recovered her
slrcnlh, liavinii realized that she was
actually losing her health:
"Health is the greatest thing in the
world, and when you feel that gradually
slipping away from you, you certainly sit
up and take notice. That is what I did
some time ago when 1 found myself in a
very nervous, run-down condition of
health. I was so tired and felt so lifeless
I could hardly go at all.
"I was Just no account for work. I
would get a bucket of water and would
feel so weak I would have to set it down
before I felt like I could lift it to the shelf.
In this condition, of course, to do even
my housework was a task almost im
possible to accomplish.
"1 was . . . nervous and easily upset.
TAPESTRY
Let us take to our hearts a lesson no lesson can braver be
From the ways of the tapestry weavers on the other side of the sea.
Above their heads the pattern hangs, they study it with care,
The while their fingers deftly move, their eyes are fastened there.
They tell this curious thing, besides, of the patient, plodding weaver;
He works on the wrong side evermore, but works for the right side ever.
It is only when the weaving stops, and the web is loosed and turned,
That he sees his real handiwork that his marvelous skill is learned.
Ah, the sight of its delicate beauty, how it pays him for all his cost !
No rarer, daintier work than his was ever done by the frost.
Then the master bringeth him golden hire, and giveth him praise as well,
As how happy the heart of ihe weaver is, no tongue but his can tell.
The years of man are looms of God, let down from the place of the sun,
Wherein we are weaving ever, till the mystic web is done.
Weaving blindly but weaving surely, each for himself his fate
We may not see how the right side looks, we can only weave and wait.
But looking above for the pattern, no weaver hath to fear;
Only let him look ever into heaven, the Perfect Pattern is there.
If he keeps the face of the Saviour forever and always in sight
His toil shall be sweeter than honey, his weaving sure to be right.
And when the work is ended, and the web is turned and shown,
He shall hear the voice of the Masier, it shall say unto him "Well done!"
And the white-winged Angels of Heaven, to bear him shall come down;
And God shall give him gold for his hire, not coin, but a glowing crown.
WILL HE GET AWAY WITH IT?
A HINT TO EMPLOYERS.
"These holiday urrmigemems
are a nuisance!" said a business
man chatting wiih a friend. "I al
ways have a bother fining every
body in."
"It's easy for me this year,' re
plied (he other. "I have two ty
pists and neither of them will take
a holiday." '
"liy Jove, that's strange, isn't
it?"
"Not very," laughed the friend.
"You see, I recently engaged a
head clerk - a very handsome
young chap - and neither of the
girls is willing to go away and
leave the other with a clear field."
