Every merchant knows of the sep- orating or testing indbence of the twain raile. 'When a position in the store became vacant, whomin all probability, did you promote to the vacaneseathe clerk who bag been in the store for ten or fifteen years, the young man who bas never bee fi will- ing to do any mote than he was compelled to do ? Did you select the employe who was generally ten minutes late in the morning, the clerk who him bis hat in his hand ready to mai for home as soon as • tbe hour hand points to the num- eral 6? Did you promote one who iheseemed to be indifferent to his work and had to be watched day by day to be kept busy, as. a mother bas to thatch a little child ? No. man who received the promotion • was the Poor ebuntry boy who en- tered your store with no recommen- dation except the willingness to travelthe twain mile, the willing- ness to do more than be was able •or paid to do. For years the twain mile young man was the first em- ploye at work in the morning. For years he was the last person to leave the store at night. When the work piled upon his desk, unbidden by. the head of his department he always stayed many [tours over- time -until the work was done. Be as the young man who threw him- self into his allotted tasks with such intensity that he made his em- ployer's interests his interests. ANGEL OF THE TWAIN 'MILE. The twain mile has for a guide the angel, of inspiring hope. The inan who lives without ambition or without the hope of making some-, thing better out ofhis life is prac- tically 'dead. He is like the Munc! of a tree in midwinter. All its lat- ent buds are frozen. Then the sap of life is unable to flow, but when the spring comes then the snow- • flakes melt away. Then the •air is redolent with incense. Then the tree takes on a new life. Later on, if the tree is an apple tree, its branches are laden with the golden fruits, ' The pathway of the twain mile is always warmed by the life develop- II"hing sunshine of hope. The young man says to himself "I am ready to work years / and years if neces- sary in an inconspicuous posneon. 1 am ready to work hard and no more then, h ant asked to do heekruse I knew that eie as my easploeer will reward me with a Welter posi- tioa."

God declares that if you will do what he bids you doyou shall have your reward for travelling the twain mile for him." Ten the Clastian be- Iteeing the Bible, says to Istmeelf "I will do what Christ wants vie to do.

This is Pot an absurd interpreta- tion to make of me Christian's feet - legs in reference to his enemies when he is trying to travel the twain mile of forgiveness. Almost without ex- ception the truly great men who have cow:coated their lives to a temporal cause have been able to drop the bitter personalities of their existence. They were able to forgive as well as forget the personnl Injus- tices which had been practiced against them. When the north Ger- man states were being welded into tho great confederacy of the German empire by the master statesman of the last century, Prince Bismarck Paid to a friend during the darkest days of the struggle: "I must not think of what mine enemies might say' or do.

We must give oureelvee body, mind and soul to his service. We must be ready to travel tor hint the twain mile. It is bemuse some of us are not ready to travel this twain mile that Christ's teachings seem harsh and narrow and perhaps unsympathetic. And, my friend, I want you to fur- ther remember that as you travel along the twain mile for Christ he Is a.lso traveling along the twain nine with you. Upon the one side of you will go, as 1 said before, the sweet faced angel of inspiring hope. hut upou the other side, the left side, the side nearest to the Mart, you will bay° for companionship the One who stihneth closer than a bro- ther, the One who will be by your side, even if your father and your mother should forsake you. If you will only trust him, he will not let you carry a. burden greater than you can bear. 1Te will not let you have a. sorrow which he caunot and will not cure. He wilt not let you stied a tear unless he Is ready to crape it away. Ire is used to traveling the twain mile. Ile once traveled that twain mile of his own accord. ITO left heaven and traveled it to the foot of the cross to carry our sins wed to die for us. Christ gladly did all this for you. Are you ready to travel the twain mile for Christ? Jesus bas been given as art ex- ample for all his disciples to copy. What did Christ do when he was scoffed at and spit upon? Why, the enemies made so many charges against Christ that Pilate, in amazement, asked him to say some- thing and refute the charges. "Hear - est thou not how many things they witness against thee? And he an- swered him never a word, insomuch that the governor marveled great- ly.", Christ came to save the world. Jesus did not have time or inclina- tion to spend the last moments of his earthly life fighting his detrac- tors; neither should we. HATE'S WORST ENEMY. • The twain mile is the place where the enemies of the true Christian are either mellowed or completely conquered by love. As the willing- ness to love one's enemies makes a Mall strong to go forth to the bat- tle of life, so that willingness to love, an enemy dulls the battleax of almost every foe. Love is the most dangerous enemy hate has to. com- bat. Love is the duelist which will' disarm many a fatal adversary. Love is the shield which can blunt or snap every plunging spear, Love is the dazzling light Which can woo a smile from many a scornful lip and the tear of remorse from many a flasning eye. My brother, the difficulty with you and myself is we haVe been fighting our enemies with the wrong kind of weapon. We have been fighting fire with fire, hate with hate, bitterness with bitterness, slander with slander, death with death. But now Jesus has given to us a new way to con- quer our enemies. We must disarm hate with love; we must submerge slander with forgivenese; we must enswer the curse with a prayer; we must offer- to the clinched list • an open palm; we must extend to every THE SUNDAY SCHOOL, INTERNATIONAL LESSON JUNE Text of the Lesson Acts xvi, 6-15. Golden Text Acts xxii 15. 6. Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia. and the region of Galatia and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,. This is written of Paul and Silas on. the second missionary tour. We left Paul • and Silas and Barnabas and others in the last lesson at An- tioch he Syria preaching' the word of the Lord. Then Paul suggested to Barnabas that they revisit the cities where they had preached and see how the brethren were doing. Barnabas wished to take Mark with him, but Paul refused because he had left them on the previous journey. There was a sharp contention, and they separated, Barpabae taking Mark end sailing to Cyprus, where they beganthe arst tour aled to which island Barnabas belonged (Acts. xiii, 4; iv, 36), while Paul took Silas and started . through Syria and 'Chicle, confirming the churches (chapter xv, 36-11)., It is interesting to note that the time came when Paul thought better of li:ark and was glad to aoh,jansi-. eiv, Iiihim (Col. iv, 10; 7, • After they were come to Wain they assayed to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit puffered them not. • in teaching this lesson and • the other missionary lessons a map is essential to the understanding of the lesson. One of the most striking things' in this book is the partner- ship of the Holy elpirit and the apostles jest as JOS,US had said that it would be (Johu xiv, 16, 17: xv. 26, 27; 1V41, 13, 14, Acta 1, 8), and as it was manifested to be in such passages as Acts v, 32; vii, 20; xiii, 2; xv, 23.

And after he had Seell the vis- ion iternediately we endeavored to go into 'Macedonia, assuredly gath- eriug that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them. The pronoun "we" which now lie - gins to be issed may is:dice:Le that Luke, the writer of the boek, had now joiiied the party. Previous to this it is "be," spealting of Paul, and "they." speaking of tbe party. See Col. iv. 14; Phi. 24; II Thu, iv, 11, for further references to Luke. 11, Therefore lonsing from Troas we came with a straight course t Samothracia, and the IleNti day I.N.Bly.ri(leloit.;;sillth)g the map we Und tha Samothruela was an Wood in II Aegean sea, almost in a line direct from.

Paul was not sultered at this time to go into the proviuce called Asia, but bore was a woman of Asia who up to her light worshiped God and doubtless eagerly prstyed for more light, and now she hue received it by a special messenger all the way from Syria and but recently from the holy city Jerusalem, one who had himself seen the Lord (I Cor. tea S.) 15. And when she was baptized and her household she besouglit seethe..., If ye have judged Ma to be faithrul to the Lord, come into my house and abide there. And she constrained us. Now the apostles and their com- pany are not so lonely. They have seen the good hand of our God upon them and have seen souls receiving and confessing Christ. Happy in- deed are those who not only receive Jesus into their hearts, but cheer- fully hand over to Him spirit, soul and body. ttd,detohttettetwhehdeetthehele thi.h.hdt-hd•et ili 1-1011SE11 LEJ •,,,P• it 16:44 44,.1....• •:* ed. ette deet etee•ol.: JUST AS GOOD AS MEAT.

Pour into a dish, and when quite cold and stiff cut in- to slices, rbll in egg and bread crumbs, fry, and serve with a pars- ley sauce.

THERE WERE TWO OF Hem A certain gentlemen': recently called on aii estate agent with the object of taking over a small farm adver- tised. "Who was the last tenant ?" he asked, "and how long was he on the farm ?" "Web," said the agent, "the last tenant's name was Jones -John Jones. I believe I'm right in saying that John Jones was born on the farm and has been there all his life. Only three weeks age, at the age of fifty-two, John Jones was buried from the same farm. His widow is prepared to leave at once if neces- sary I" And yet the gentleman didiA take that particular farm. Subsequently asked by a friend for his reasons, he remarked :-- "I made other inquiries in the Til- lage, and I mune. to the conelusion that there was it little too much 'John Jones e about that farm. You'll be a bit surprised to learn that John Jones hadn't been at the place six months !" "Then the agent nest be a liar," said his friend. "1 daresay he would deny that," was the rejoinder. "He's merely a smart -very smart -fellow. But to return to John Jones, there were two of him. The John Jones who died at the age of fifty-two was the father of the present John Jones, who -at the age of three months or thereabouts -resides on the farm and as the agent had it, has been there all his life." + • Mrs. De Jarr-'Is there a lunatic asylum near here ?"
