"Who goes there? Strangers!" Then inside he'd trot And stand on guard beside the lowly cot, Till, reassured, he'd strive to make amends, "I didn't know, you see; that you were friends." Then as they knelt and offered gifts most rare I fancy him, delighted, standing there.

And understood.—Anonymous, ' —Exchange, would climb unto Mine The Christ and His cross?" - -The -British Weekly, easearemearacces Close, Tse To Thee The following story carries its own message. "An old- Scotsman lay very i11 'and his minister came to visit him. As the minister sat down on a elude near the bedside, he noticed on the other side of the bed another chair plaeed at such an angle as to suggest that a visitor had just left it, "Well Donald," said the minister glancing 'at the chair, "I see I am not your first visitor". The Scots- man looked up in surprise; so the minister pointed to the chair. "Ah", said the sufferer, "I'll tell you about that chair. Years ago I found it impossible to pray. I often fell asleep on my knees. I was so `tired, and if I kept awake I could not con- trol my thou his f omwandering; One day I was so worried I spoke to my minister about it. He told me not to worry about kneeling down. "Just sit down," he said, "and put a . chair opposite you. Imagine that Jesus is in it and talk to Him, as you would to a friend". "And", the Scotsman' added, "I have been doing that even since". The old man passed away suddenly alone, in the night, and when his daughter eame to his bedside shortly after she found him with. his hand on the chair. What a wonderful thing it.is when we can live so close to Christ that we can feel His presence with us at all times! Keep on believing Jesus is near; Keep on believing There'a nothing to fear Keep on believing This is the way -- Faith in the night, As well as the day. Things always seam worse in the silent watches of the night, a little creaking sound in the dark is equiva- lent to, and, the cause is often as obscene as 'the noise of an old time Ford in the daytime. An elderly woman, one time ih speaking to a friend who was making an effort to live alone said "The God, who is with you in the day time will be with you at night". Jesus never forsakes us day or night, if we just ask Him to• be with us. The trouble is We have not faith enough to be- lieve that He can take care of us, and we insist on travelling alone, in- stead of placing our hand in His and being guided past the rough places in life. It is true thut even the most devout Christians have times when they find it hard to trust, when things seem. to go all wrong and when their guide seems to have deserted them. Such is not the case. Jesus is ever with us, if we just stay close to Him in prayer. A great many of us have had the opportunity of watching a blacksmith work. An order has come in for springs for a wagon. The workman takes a piece of steel and tests it by heating it red hot, than dipping it in cold water. If it will take the temper, -then it is hammered, pounded and shaped until it is suitable for a spring, so- it is 10 our Christian life. When we give our hearts to God that does not signify that we will have a smooth life from then on. Oh no! we well! have trials, troubles and temptations, many of their, but like Job as we endure them and try to act as a Christian should, These things will prove to be step- ping stones which will leadeus closer to Him. At the time they are very hard to endure, but when past we feel that they have been the means of making us stronger for His work: We are saved in this world for something more than pleasure, we are saved to be the means of helping to bring, others to Him.' Iron and steel which will hot take the temper in the blacksmith shop are thrown out on the scrap heap. It is just the material which can stand testings which are used. • We cannot expect ; to stand the testing alone. Like.the old Scotsman we must stay close to God and Ile will be with us through all our 'trials. God's Anvil Last- eve 1 paused beside a black- smith's door, And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime; Then • looking in, I saw upon the floor, Old hammers worn' with beating years of time. "How many anvils have you had", said I To wear and banter ' all these hammers so?" "Jiust, one," said he, and then,, with twinkling eye, "The anvil wears the hammers out, you know," And so, I thought "The anvil of God's Health 'A Woman Who Made History Mary Mallon, internationally known as {"T'y'phoid Mary" died a week or so ago a "medical prisoner" at North Brother Island, New York Where, for a quarter of a century, she had been isolated in the public interest as an innocent carrier of typhoid fever germs. She was 70 years old. But though a "typhoid carrier" that is one who, not actually having the disease herself, is capable of giving it to others, she died not of typhoid fever, but from the natur- al consequences of old age, having had a paralytic stroke six years ago. In her earlier days Mary Mallon, a plump Irish_ cook, was, in the course of 9 years, the innocent car- rier of typhoid fever to 28 persons in seven families where she had pursued her occupation. Finally the health authorities of New'York stop- ped further activities in that line by her internment. It was found that Ino sort of; treatment lessened her powers of transferring the germs of fever so she remained in close con- finement until her death.. About 4% of persons who have re- covered from typhoid fever remain "carriers" of the disease, The dang- er of such persons is obvious partic- ularly if, like Mary. Mallon, they are cooks or handle food. With the enormous reduction in late years of typhoid fever cases, the number and consequent influence of the typhoid carrier have been correspondingly decreased. Typhoid fever is invariably carried from person to person by food, fing- ers or flies. Water, milk and other food articles are the common vehicles of transmission. The disease is also carried to food by flies but since the disappearance of the horse from street traffic, this type of transmis- sion has been materially reduced. Typhoid fever, once the scourge of large cities and great armies, is on the way of oblivion thanks to the influence of preventive medicine. * 9.
