Acts xxi, 30.30; Phil. i, 30. .An incidental proof of the% 'vvinity of king - no Jesus Christ is the character of done Ho founded,. 'He was at lee`s impostor, for Ile did not found His la. done upon promises of glory and Mono' , r IfanyYuan will but upon a case. 1 1p 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 td 'declarationof vote t u leaI my 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.

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."

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- leseea nese River --A new= Sonic. 0 riverl 0 river) ,As you go to the sea Forever and ttyo, So flowing and free.

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. e e e a Rt th tio Having bought a very large variety of HEATING AND 000K — — ' tom. r.w to choose from Itt*ery stove uaranteed against breakage , give complete: satisfaction.
