"NEVER SOARS SO HIGH AGAIN." tQrcugh woodland meadows, w re tne thrushes sweetly siEg, And I found on a b d of mosses t i i'd with a broken wine; I healed its wound, and each morning It sang its old swet strain; But the bird with the broken pinion Never soars so high again. I found a young life broken By sin's seductive art, And, touched with the Christ-like spirit, ' I took him to my heart ; He lived with a noble purpose And struggled not in vain, Bug the life that sin had stricken Never soared so high again. Bu the bird with the broken pinion Kpt another from the snare. Ana the life that sin had stricken Bused another from despair, Eich loss has its c impensuion ; There is aealing for every pain ; But the bird wi:n tha broken pinion Never soars so hih again. H.-z kiah Batterworth. SOME THINGS MR. MOODY SAID. There is no power like lovo. I loved my little boy long before he loved me. One night I heard him say to his mama, when he thought me asleep, "I love papa." What a thrill of joy that gave me 1 1 had loved him from infancy but now he was beginning to love me A few weeks before he might have seen me carried out of the house in a coffin and, perhaps, not knowing bet ter, have thoughtlessly laughed at it. Bit now my love for him had found a response. Something like this is the feeling God has when a sinner melts under His love. Live produces love. What a power it might besome in our pulpits and San lay School classes and meetings 1 The reason we have so little lova for Je?u3 Christ is that we are so littla acq lainted with him. The more intimately we get acquainted with the Son of Gjd, the more shall we love bim, and we may get acquainted with Him by reading about Him in the Word. AN OLD B2D3IDD2N WOMAN S PRAYEf S I remember preaching in Liverpool in a csttain church and the results were astonishing. In ten days that church took up 400 new members. I wes amGz.'d. But I learned that a poor old bedridden woman had been pray ing about it. When we get to the other world and find out the secrets of heaven, we will find that some people we never hear of now 3ome bedridden saint, s)me one living way up near the gate3 of Paradise will have accom plished a great deal more than some men who have been heralded through the prees. LIBIRTY. I believe a man who is full of the Holy GhDst will fcave liberty. What we want in our churches more than anything is this liberty. Why, lock at the etsff aess in most of our chrches. Put a man in an audienca where men and wo me a are goicg to criticise and ne won't have much liberty much freedom. In the day of Pentecost ho;7 many do ycu supp3S3 criticised? I don't believe Pettr would have preached near a. well as he did if peo ple had been criticising him. But wfcile ho was preaching the people were listening ia a proper frarre of mind and they h:lped him right on. Hj jist had iibsrty that dy great liberty. When you see a minister ia the pulpit who doeen't have liberty, pray for hiai. FEELINGS. A class cf persons are in gretvt trouble about their feelings. They aie afraid tney don't feel right, or don't feelo-ough. Sd they get into doubt and the devil will keep them on that p!ank for a few weeks and then let ttum down into the pit again. I want to fay there isa't a wcri about feeling m tho Scriptures in reference to ealva tion. Is dcesn't eay, 4 He that feeleth." It is 'he that believeth." Not one word about feeling. I do a great many thim s thas I don't fel like doing Oacdienca me3ns marching right on whtther we feel like it or not. Many iia:es we go aajair.s; our feelings. Faith is one thin;; feeling is another. What was it taat made the elaves free ? Was it their feelings? Sjppose they htd tripd it just imagined they were free and acted on that feeling Toey would tey slot have heard the crack of the olave driver's whip. No; it was Abra ham L ccolo'a proclamation. Now, the pro jiamation of the G3?pel: "Ha that bel-.eveth hath everlasting life." I remember s)me years ago ' h, how I used to pray for feeling! I ? bought faith wrs feeling and tnat pom; strange kind of freling would cyme stealing ever me. But it wasn't that t all. Toen I found in Romans, 10: 17, tn;tex; and.ho wit came upin ma Iiko a fl tsh of light. "Faith cometh I by h'QM' g nd bearing by tha word of " G d."

Joe Karr, in Collier's Weekly. MUST THE HORSE GO? Possible Effect of the Use of Autcmo biles. In SS. Nicholas for March, writing of 'Tne Automobile: I cs Present and Ita Future," Charles Bernard considers the possible effect of horseless traction upon the usefulness of the horse. Fjr three thousand years, perhaps for a much longer time, mec have used horsea in peace and war. In all this time no one appears to have imagined that the time would ever come when we might not need so many horsas. If we examine an old map of this coun try, we may traca a black line begin ning at Cumberland, in Maryland, and extending across the mountains to the Monongahela River above Pittsburg. This line indicated the great national road built by the U lited States as a highway from the Eut to the then far West in the O lio Valley. Oerthis great road .houjands of horses traveled in endk S3 processions, dragging great covered wagons; swift stagecoaches ran, day and night, carrying pas sengers and msils. This road with its enormous tr flic was regarded es one of tho wonders o! the Now World. Washington considered i; a most im portant public woik, and believed that all the country needed in fu uro were more horaes and more national roads Today this long and co3tiy road is al mess forgotten. The great wagontrains and swift stages long ago disappeared. When, about sixty jears ago, the railroads came, many people thought that hcreea would no longer be needed. Tnia was soon Been to be a mistake. It was found that it took mra horses to carry the freight and passengers to the railroad stations than were U3ed befcie the railroads were buils. When, about twelve years ago, the trolleycars ap peared, then many people said, "Tnia tim9 the hortes will certainly retire, for there will be nothing for them to do." Has it bsen true? Aad now, within two years, people have said the horses will surely disappear, for here are carriage i without horsea. Do you j believe that will be true? BRUIN DION' T LIKE THE SAMPLE The Philadelphia "Times" is respon sible for the story of how a wooden leg paved the life of a young man named K?lly, who lives npar Lickawaxn, Pike county. Pa. Kelly was return ing from a visit to the home of bis sweetheart at Barry ville, a few miles distant, late one Sunday night, when he was chased by a bear. A vooden leg impeded hi3 progress, and tbe ani mal soon overtook mm. vvunonocun of its paw Kelly was sent sprawling. The bear pounced upon him and began chewing on the wooden leg, but after consuming half the leg, trousers and shoe. Brum evident1 v bi came dieeusted and walked away. KsJly reached home nearly frozen, but thankful that his life was s wed. 5a FOB 14 CEHTS& HjkTT! We wish to pain thin year 200,00 Q t"5-i-;i)- new customers, and hence offer 0 Q fv?

It is estimated that more tnan one hundred thousand children die an nually from poisoning by tneee m x tures. "Hive syrup" contains a powerful and depressing emetic known aa "car tar emetic." Tnis syrup should ba given to children with caution. It is very probable that there are no such things as 'groin ptiins." All pain of this nature has a definite and sometimes a s riou3 cause. Toe heart may be dangerously affected from rheumatism when the child is supposed to have a only "gro -ving pains." ECZSMA Ejzema or sale rheum is the most common of all 8X in diseas33. It shows i:slf in various forms, as papul , scales, pustules, vesicles, eto. Tne moat common form is character izod by a scaly condition of t the skin usually local, sometimes general underneath which scales is a moisture, scales and moisture together form crusts. When on the scalp of an infant it is called "scaled heai" or "milk crust." Now as to points. E ;zema is not con tagious. It does nic leave a scar no matter how severe the case. Ic is not necessarily hereditary. It is for the most part a a cold weather ailment. It i not a blood d:sease in the sense of a poison in the system. As to treatment. Keep the bowels ooen. Avoid much water on the skin. D on't expect to ge c well quickly. Avoid all poisonous oincmants it mucn surface is diseased. Stop any habits in eating or drinking that may hinder digestion. Drink alkaline mineral waters when you can. For the itching. Everything on earth has been tried. Nothing is sure to re lieve every case. Preparations con taining tar, camphor, carbolic acid, bismuth, starch, talcum and a hundred other i emediea are used. The besc way to do is to regulate your haoits and use some mil local remedies. If this doean't work put yourself under a physician's care, and don'c get discouraged in lees than at least pix months it you arenotcu'ed. F. W. St John, M. D,, in Farm Journal.
