come after Me, let him take up his cross
and follow Me," were His own words,
He constantly emphasized the fact that
if men became His disciples they mi ;lit
expect burdens to be borne and trials to
be endured. i o more practical test can
be put to our religion than the question
of the topic, How much have we borne
for Christ? A religion that costs as noth-
ing is usually of no very high character.
1. The necessity of having something
for Christ (Acts xxi, 00-3E). The very
character of Christianity makes it abso-
lutely certain that the true followers o€
Christ must endure hardship and perse-
cution for Him. Christianity is opposed
to the customs, beliefs and practices of
the sinful heart and the evil world, and
as a consequence no sooner is it present-
ed to men than it arouses intense oppo-
sition. We see this illustrated in Paul's
case at Jerusalem. Paul's preaching,
the Jews claimed, was "against the peo-
ple, and the law, and the place." Its
tendency was to overthrow the customs.;
and honored institutions of that people,
and the natural result followed. Amob
siezes him, and had it not been for the
speedy arrival of the chief captain they
tvould most likely have taken his life.
The character of Christianity is still the
same, and it brings the same results. Aro
we as willing to bear for Christ as Paul
was and as Christ was for us?
2. The origin of what must be borne
(Phil. i, 20). These sufferings and perse-
cutions do not colpo by chance. The
hand of God is in them, for "unto it is
given in behalf of Christ not only to be-
lieve on Him, but also to suffer for His
sake." Not only dons God give us our
faith. Ho also gives us our sufferings.
This is a comforting fact, and ono that
ought to strengthen us in the midst of
all our sufferings. It teaches us that we
are not at the mercy of the crnol world,
but our Father's hand is guiding us
even in the darkness, and that One who
is our Friend is 'over all things. It
teaches us that these sufferings must be
in some way for our good, for He would
not afflict us but for our profit. May
the example of Paul and the fact of
God's presence even in our sufferings
make us willing to bear anything for
• Him who bore all things for us.

One day as the fax was passing
through the ores&Che espied a hare:,
which at once and with great espeecl
disappeared Tutu her burrow. Assum-
ing a smiling expression to hide the
chagrin lee felt, Reynatd approached
and said:
My clear madam, perhapsa you leave
of heard the latest news? x made a
intention to

reform and lead a different life.
And that's exactly why I was in
such a burry to get out of your way,
replied the hare.
Please explain. This lack of con-
fidence on your p trt hurts my feelings.
Why, si , in your charae:er of a fox
I could always outrun you and find
safety, but as a reformer you have got
a dozen new tricks which I am not on
to and won't feel safe till I learn.
But, my dear madam, presisted the
fox, if you wilt but corse out here and
tmk the matter over 1 am sure we
shall arrive at a satisfactory under-
standing. I used to be very fond of
hare, but my reformation is complete.
By the use of cagolt'ry and argu-
ment the hare was indecedeo leave her
burrow, and she was scarcely out when
the fox seized het;.
.141ow now! she shrieked. You
solemnly assured me that you had lost
your taste for hares!
Just so, my innocent inindeil and
lung legged friend, replied tete fox as
he made ready for dinner. While it
is true that I hare lost my taste for
have I comiuue to he raveuoualy fond

Boys In Bombay.
Life is much pleasanter for the boys in
Bombay, or indeed in any part of India,
than for the girls. When the boy first
comes into the world, he is welcomed
with great joy. His father is delighted,
and his mother is proud and happy. I
don't suppose the little baby knows
much about this himself, but when he
grows older ho soon learns what an
portant member of the family he is.
If you Endeavorers could only see the
boys in Bombay, the Mohammedan boys
and the Parsec boys and the =riahratta
boys, if you could realize that they are
all your brcthers, I am sure you would
want to do all you could to help them.
Ono thing you can all do—you can pray
for them, and perhaps you can give some
of your money to Help them. It costs so
little to support a boy in one of tho mis-
sion schools. I ata sure you could all
do something toward it. Will you not
do what you can?—firs. F. E. Clark in
Golden Rule.
Rebeeea Wilkinson, of J3rownsvalley
Ind., says : "I had been in a distresse,
condition, for three years from Nerr'oud
iters, Weakness of the Stomach, Dyspepsia
and Indigestion until my health was gene.
I had been doctoring constantly without
relief. 1 bought one bottle of South Am-
erican Nervine, which doue me more good.
than any $50 worth of doctoring 1 ever did
in my life. 1 would advise every weakly
person to use this valuable and lovely rem-
edy." A trial bottle will convince you.

A Credit Soliloquy.
I was handed a little slip of praper
by one of the leading stationers on
which was printed "Credit Man's
Soliloquy," which 1 thought '[vale one
of the best things in its way that I
have seen. It reads as follows :
OREDIT MAN'S SOLILOQUY.
Put a Prayer tinder.
There aro some loads for the back, and
some that must be lifted and carried
with the hands. It tires the arms and
makes the back ache when the loads are
heavy, and if some one comes along who
will put his shoulder under or lift with
his hands, what a comfort and relief it id
A young girl was e,rice carrying a Mar-
ket basket that was much too heavy for
her strength, and another girl, in pass-
ing, noticed it and said, "Let ane help
you." Then she took hold of the handle
and lifted half of the load. It was easy
to carry after this. The young girl who
was overworked never' forgot the kind-
ness of this stranger.
But there are weights that can never
be carried in this way. They rest upon
the heart. The load may be fear, anx-
iety or care It may be a heavy sorrow.
How can one help another to bear such
burdens? Ah, there is a way. Put a
prayer under the load that presses,—Se-

A tall, well buiWyoung man leung-

enquiringly ab his master. The latter
observed:

He's a Parisian. Then he looked at
his pet and continued : -Bon jour,Bap-

The dobe enthusiastically whacked

his twister's salutation by a low,
throatelike gurgle of satisfaction.

The barber told him to sit up, to

They Don't Bnow What's 'W'rong..
Brampton, Aug. 21—A good mnetny peo-
ple in these days aro evidently ignorant of
what ails them. '1 hey use remedies for
dropsy, rheumatism, sciatica or some such
disease, and after a time find out that dis-
ordered kidneys caused all the trouble.
Isere are some instances. James Crisp, a
telegraph operator of this place, suffered
from dyspepsia for a long time and could
not find a remedy that would relieve him
until ho found Dada's kidney pills. They
cured him, as the primary cause of his
dyspepsia lay, undoubtedly, in his kidneys.
A. well-known Toronto lady wrote to the
Toronto papers a short time ago stating
that she had. been cured of a womb disorder
by means of Dodd's kidney pills, She did
not think, until she was oared, that dis-
ordered kidneys were the seat of the trouble.
Valentine !fisher, of Collingwood last year,
was cured of sciatica of thirteen years'
standing, by the sante remedy. He too,
found out at a late day that his kidneys
had all along been the cause of leis suffer-
ings. These are only some of many like
experiences that are daily met with.
