mon is' to discuss some of the lit-
tle annoyances of life and to state
how, by the grace of God, we may
combat them. I want to present
this theme to those whose physical
and mental frames have been pre-
maturely weakened by the strenuous,
hard-working lives they heoe been
compelled to lead, as well as to
those whose once strong bodies are
bordering upon nervous collapse on
account of the natural
APPROACM OF OLD AGE.
The kitchen and bedroom and nurs-
ery and parlor of the average home
reveal many of the so-called petty
annoyances which can render morbid
;and unhappy the minds and hearts
of the inmates, especially of the
wives and mothers. IO is the an-
noyance of trying to build a fire
early in the morning, when the
'damper will not work, that exempli-
fies how the grasshopper may become
a burden. It is the trouble of get-
ting the children off to school at the
right time, when the tired mother
finda that her boy has worn a hole
In one of his stockings and there is
not another clean pair to put on.
It is the annoyance of hunting up a
pair of scissors which your little
girl lost when she took them to
raake doll's dresses. It Is the an-
noyance of having the butcher and
the groceryraan fail to bring home
the vegetables and the meat in tirae
to be cooked for dinner. And then
there is the annoyance to tho wife
of having her husband complain be-
cause his meals are not served on
time. It is the nagging annoyance
that comes every little while to all
good housekeepers of having a lot
of People drop in for dinner at the
last moment when you are not ex-
pecting them and when you have
nothing suitable in the larder to
cook for them. It is the same kind
of annoyance that Martha, in the
little village of Bethany, experienced
when her brother Lazarus brought
Christ and scone of the disciples to
the home.
Wives and raothers and sisters,
what you need to -day is the advice
Solomon gave to the young men of
his time. You need the grace of God
in your hearts to be able to over-
come the burden of the grasshop-
pers. As Jesus Christ turned to the
angry and quick tempered house-
keeper when she rushed into his
Presence crying, "Lord, dost thou
not Caro thot my sister hoth left me
to serve alone ?" and gently said,
"Olartha, Martha, thou est careful
and troubled about many things,
but ono thing is needful," so Christ
says to every living housekeeper to-
day, "You need the grace in your
heart to overcome the little annoy-
ancea as well as your great trials."

Oh, women, how different life would

help you to bear tho burden of the
grasshopper,
If it is, important for wives and
mothers to have the graee of God
in order to overcome the infinitesi-
mal burdens of the multitudinous
locust, it in also important for hus-
bands. and eathets arid brothersto
have the sabot kind of (evil% re -en-
forcement to meet the hurcleneotao
insectile annoyancee that afflict them
used to do. Instead of going ahead
and doing the work that God gave
him to do, and on account of his
enemies' criticisms doing it better
and better all the time, he wasted
most of his time in bickerings and
backbiting and in trying to destroy
the reputations of those who were
attacking him. The one way is to
do as D. L. Moody did. He made it
the rule of his life to never indivi-
dually attack a person who had at-
tacked him. The more Mr. Moody
was personally assailed and misrep-
resented the more he would go to
God in prayer and ask the Divine
Father to make his life so pure and
true that there raight not remain in
his heart any cause for the charge
which his enemies were making. The
other way is to do as many others
are doing. When a neighbor or a.
critic makes any derogatory state-
ment about us and our work, we
prove that we are not falsely con-
detnned in all particulars, that at
least we have the fault of retalia-
tion, because we go hunting for the
faults an our neighbor's lives Instead
of trying, with divine help, to cor-
rect the evils in our own.
Thus, my brother, I want you, by
the grace of God, to -Ilse higher and
higher in the spiritual life until at
last you are at an altitude above
and out of ear -shot of the buzzing
sound of the locusts of fault finding
enemies. I want you to rise so
htgh in the spiritual life that you
will not care what people may say
or think about you and yours as
long as you can bring these People
to love and live for Christ. Hu-
manly speaking, it is awfully hard
to bear the petty annoyances of
your neighbors, criticising you and
saying mean things about your wife
and children. It is hard from a hu-
man standpoint to refrain from
flinging a stone at the lonusts of
evil ne.ggings which are buzzing
about you and your loved ones. But
by the grace of God you can live
down these petty annoyances. You
can go on doing your work, even as
Christ went on doing his work, in
spite of
TILE JEERS AND TELE SCOFFS
which the Pharisees uttered against
him and his disciples, If you are
absorbed in your' Divine Meoter's
work, you will receive sufficient grace
to make you indifferent to the little
annoyances caused by what people
may say against you.
When the faculties begin Ls fail
and the hair to whiten, the burden
of the locusts become very heavy to
bear unless a man as a. Christian is
walking side by side with Christ.
Even the Christian will fid this
burden a heavy burden unless he has
an extra, amount of divine grace
given to him. It is not D. hard
etiologic to physically die. Dying
is just 00 natural an act for the
body as is the act of being born. But
it is hard to grow old, to feel that
you have to ride when once it was,
an exhilaration to walk, to know i
that the mind is failing, that the
heart has not the old vigor, that
the hand which elite grasped and
wielded the hilt, of a sword must
how do the small chores around the
old homestead. It is bard to know
that upon the trembling shoulders
of old age, even the weight of m
small grasshopper's body can become
a, burden, a. heavy, crushing burden.
Yes, my fslerals, amid the deectying
faeultiee of ole ago the grace of the
Lord Joel% Christ is suihcient to
overcome the burden of the btmzing
locuste. Whet wee the testimony of
the aged Themes Guthrie, the great
Ohristlext warrior of old. Scotland?

Study the fitees, the beautiful hoPPY
faces, of tho aged Christian mon
and women abont, and you will
learn as never before that the grace
of the lord Jesus Chriat is suffici-
ent, even (mid the decaying physical
and mental feculties, to lift the bur-
den of the buzzing locust. .
This burden of the locust is a very
practical theme. The text teaches
that though the gospel of Jesus
Christ is a good religion to die by,
yet it is just as good a religion to
live by. It mem% that we ehould
take Christ with us to sing the lul-
laby to the baby and to got the
early breakfast, It means thot we
should take Christ with up to help
harness tip the horse and shuck the
corn. It means that we should ask
Christ to go into partnership with
us in business and not have him bit
a silent pertner either. It simply
means we should have Christ as a
practical helpmate during the week
dmy as well as a Sabbath companion
on our way to church,

I wish to tell how I can make a

my own invention and far superior,
I think, to the mops We find in the
stores. It is a light wood handle
about ten inches long, an inch in
diameter at the bottom and e. lit-
tle smaller at the top. Take un-
bleached thin musl1n. or any other
suitable cloth and cut four circular
pieces about teu inches across. NOW
out a circular hole in the middle of
the cloth large enough to go over
the top and not hu-ge enough to
slip off; then get a'sintall metal ring
from the hardware store just large
enough to slip over the cloth and
hold tight on the handle. This
mop is easily kept clean and fresh,
as the cloth can be removed to be
washed and dried or renewed as co -

on the march the ark always had
its place in the midat of Israel, six
tribes preceding and slx tribe a fol-

from over O other vessel by on outer
covering wholly of bit% (Num, iv,
5, 6), but on this occasion it went
before all the people and preceded
them by about 2,000 oubits that
they might know the way by which
they must, go, for as the officers
said, "Ye have not passed this way
heretofore" (Josh. hi, a). As we
go an in the daily Christian life we
must run with patience, looking un-
to Jesus, and we must see no one
but Jesus only, for He 19 our only
ark, and He alone can lead 515 in
the way wherein we should go (Hob.
xii, 1, 2; Mark ix, 8).

did this before the millions of Israel
under Joshua thot Israel might see
that the Lord was with Joshua as
He has been with Moses. and that
all the people of the earth might
know the mighty hand of the Lord.
The same Lord afterward divided
the skone river for two mon a.nd a
little latex for one man (XI Kings

tho living God would do
for one man willing to be
as wholly His as Jesus Christ
was, but we do know that His eyes
are searching the whole earth to
find such people (TI. Chron. "cot 9).
On this occasion as God said it
would be so it came to pass, and so
it always does, andt he believer may
say with the utmost confidence, "I
believe God, that it shall be even as
it was told me" (Acts xxvii, 25,

Coo of the Caoadians who wont to
join the South African Constabulary
writes ris follows froln Bloemfon-
tein:
"When the first and second Can-
adian contingents returned home ot-
ter eight or ten months' active ser-
vice on the veldt, there were ree reP-
resentatives from our country fight-
ing at the front except a few strag-
glerwho wore zealous enough, to
stop to the finish. The Cointdian
government were aoked to contd.
bubo a few hundrecl Men to complete
the South African Clonotabolary, and
as I said befere, OU,' C011etry not
having troops at the front to repro -
Sent her, was quick to recruit a con-
tingent for tho Constabulary, Almut
twelve hundred or more of Canada's
sturdy and bravest men were recruit,
ed for this colonial force. Of course
we were of no expense to the Can-
adian Government as the Imperial
Government stood the expense. We
did not get fitted out as othee con-
tingents. We did not set sail with
O drew of Icharki or fine mounts. We
were dressed in a uniform which was
only meant for the sea voygige; 110
horses (although we were a mounted
Corps). We sailed across on 1, boat
which had previously tothis trip
been used as a stock boat. Of
Course this boat was overhauled sod
thought to be in a healthy condi-
tion. But before we were landed at
Cope Town,' we had buried at sea,
four or five of our bravest who had
fallen victims to
AN TJNKNOWN DISEASE.
• When we were landed at Bloemfon-
teiht we were fitted out in a kind
of a way (as far as clothing is con-
cerned), Although We were sup-
posed to be a mounted corps we had
to march on foot and fight on foot
the same as the first Canadian eon'
tingent, and moreover live on half -
rations. Only those who had been
out here and experienced the half -
ration racket can sympathize with
us in this respect. We had to drink
the same kind of dirty water, also
put up with the same hardships as
the other contingents. When we got
a horse to ride it was not because
we were supplied with them. We
had to fight and capture them, and
as you know, we were not long af-
ter having a few cracks at the ene-
my before we were nearly all mount-
ed. And to -day all our horses are
captured stock. We not only cap-
tured enough for ourselves, but for
other troops (not Canadian troops), J
who wore a, little unfortunate in not
being able to secure good mounts.
Now, compare our contingent with
the other continegnts sent from Can-
ada. First, we had the same ex-
perience as the first cohtingont
marching on foot. • Half -rations,
bad water, sore feet, etc. Second,
we had to light for our own horses,
and although we did not meet with
anything as fierce as Paardeberg,
we often met with overwbehning
forces of the enemy, and, being Can-
adians, we always stuck to them,
and in nearly all cases drove the
enemy back. We probably have not
lost Ms many men as tho first con-
tingent, but not far short of it.
Ma.ny of our comrades are now sleep-
ing on the veldt ancl kopje, having
fatlen in the moment of battle. • A
good many of our home friends think
of us as a police force and imagine
that we will never see Canada again,
Well this is not the case. Ever
since leaving Canada till the first of
this month we have been a fighting
military force, and the most of us
who had good mounts were con-
tinually with the column, while our
dismounted men • held a. line of'
blockhouees, which helped the col-
umns to corner the enemy
• IN LARGE NUMBERS.
s •
What does our inspector -general
(Baden-Powell) say for us? Ho has
complimented us more than once
for our bravery and tact, and, as
he calls it, eticktoitiveness, and al-
ways expressed his sympathy for
those of us who had fallen, for he
knew that our mon always died
brave. And again, to prove his ap.
predation for us, when giving a lec-
ture on observatioa at the Public
School Teachers" Convention held in
Johannesburg a conine of weeks age.
when he found out that about 40
Canadian teachers were present, he
said he knew that good teaching
would prevail in the two Republica
as the Government had obtained a
few Canadians to teach, both in the
Orange River Colony arid the Trans-
vaal, He went on to say how well
he knew the capabilities of tho Can-
adians, fok he was proud to' say
that he had over a thousand • brave
Canitdians with him in the Constab-
ulary, and aS they lold done such
splendid and brave work in ending
this terrible war, he know that the
young ladies would do the 7301110 iiS
their line. Now, why in it that we
am forgotten by • the country We
were born in, the country of our fa-
thers and forefathers? We have en-
dured eveo more than any other On:i-
odine coetingento , and, more.over,
hove seen more active service -toot
any other contingent. We have been
fighting fok about 14 months, whieh
excels any other Oanadiaa contingent
by nearly four months.' Probably it
Is because most of us signed on foi•

The people of Canada should not get,
it into their heads that vve ere go -
