In the hand of strangers Whither thou are gone; Hear a far voice calling "My son, My son!" From the land of hunger, Fainting, famished, lone, Come to love, and gladness, My son, My son! Quit these haunts of riot, Wasted, woe -begone, Sick as heart and weary, My sen, My son! Thou art frit ndlf'ss, hopeless, Hopeless and undone; Mine is love unchanging, My son, My son! (Horatius Bonar) PRAYER 0 Lord• we bring into Thy pres- ence many sins that need forgive- ness. We look back' upon our'ldays, and even with our imperfectly en- lightened and constructed conscien- ces we see how far beneath our own conceptions of what we ought to be our daily lives have fallen ; and when we think of Thy perfect vision and of Thy lofty law we feel that we must bow ourselves before Thee and cry out,' "Unclean! Unclean!" But we bless Thee that we, too, know of One who can make us pure as Him- self. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (British Weekly).

The Publicans and sinners whom Christ is trying to bring to repentance have their char- acter depicted in the reckless youth, impatient of restraint --the ; prodigal son. Verses 11-12. The certain man was evidently a man of means and as not infrequent - happens the younger son was not fond of work; and consequently the restraints of home became irksome. He wanted more liberty and so he sought an interview with his father and very ungraciously demanded "the portion of goods that falleth to me." We gladly note his use of the word "Fathet"-it toned down a lit- tle his gruff words. Knowing the nature of his son "He divided unto them his living." , The father was not altogether blameless for be must have neglected the injunction to train up a child in the way He should go and when he is old he will not de- part from it" (Prov. 22:6). "Far away, fields look green" so he gathered up all his possessions and took his journey into a far coun- try. He went far enough away that news of him wouldn't readily reach the "folks back home." He has got- ten what he schemed for, namely lib- erty, and now let us see what use he made of it. .Verses 13-14. It does not take the narrator long' to tell what happened. So long es he had plenty of money to spernd in these; new ways of living, riotoaa living, he had many friends; ,ma. who were older in the ways of 'hitherto unknown to him. He id not -spend his "father's living," he *wasted it. It doesn't require much thought to waste time, health, mon- ey, life. He seemed all at once to have become an expert in }wasting: and 8o we read, "And he began to be in want."

God has many and strange ways of teaching His children and in this case He us- ed poverty and friendlesaneas to do the work. The young man while feeding the swine and, being all alone, had time to think. No one need envy him as he re -traces the meuthss singe he was in his father's house, but 'he thought it all out, fought it all with with self and he saw it had dieen a bad business from start to finish; and now he resolves to go home and say so. It would be far better to feed swine at home than here, so he cast pride aside and set out on the homeward journey. How different the second travelling of that road is! Visions of be knew not what were in his mind on the out- ward journey; but now it is home he sees and his feet quicken with the thought. There is no idea in his mind that he will not be received home, though he doesn't expect to he as he was before in the home. 1 will be enough to be there as one c the hired servants. He 'isn't going to defend himself for he knows now there's no excuse, no apology for such conduct as his has been. It must just be a humble acknowledgment of sin and unworthiness. Verses 20-24. Ile did just as he had planned hut something happened he hadt.'t thought of. This parable is one of three in which lost things are under discus- sion-tbd lost sheep -the lost coin - the lost man. In the first two dili- gent search was made until they were found but in the last no one fcllowed to find and bring him back. He was a reasonable being and must come back himself; but the father had followed him in thought. Day and night he was in his mind and prayers were made for his return. So he was seen afar off and what a reception he got. No hired servant was ever treated to such an embrace. This, however, did not make the son forget his part, so he made his con- fession. Immediately the father gave orders to have a.feast prepared showing it was no hired servant he was welcoming back but a well -be- loved son "who was dead but is alive again." This is God's way 'with sin- ners. He uses strange means to lead the sinners home. Grief, pain, hunger, loneliness, ill -health, are sent to bring them to seek God and con- fess their guilt; and then He opens wide His arms of love and receives them unto Himself. WORLD MISSIONS Legge$ Passage -Romans 10'; 12-15. Livingstone and Stanley. "Find Livingstone," was the New York Herald's telegraphic order to Stanley. He 'found Livingstone, and in finding Livingstone he found Christ. "Livingstone taughtme," says Stanley, "during those four months that I was with him. In 1871 I went to him as prejudiced as, the biggest atheist in London. To a reporter and correspondent such as I, who had only to dea1e yetith wars ndass-meetings and` political gatherings, sentimental matters were entirely out of my pro- vince. But there came for me a long time for reflection -I was out there, away from a worldly world. I saw this solitary old man there, and ask- ed myself: "How on earth does he stop here? Is he cracked, or wlbat? What is it that inspires him?" "For months after we met, I sim- ply found myself listening to him wondering at the old .man carrying out what was said in the Bible: 'Leave all things and follow Me.'"iiut little by little his sympathy for others became contagious; my sympathy was aroused. Seeing his piety, his gentleness, his zeal, his earnestness, and how he went quietly about his business, I was converted by him, al- though he had not triedto do it." Livingstone's wife died and lies buried in the depths of Africa. Liv- ingstone died alone on his knees in his African cabin. But the succes- sion is kept up, and Stanley, led to know Livingstone's Saviour, taken up and carries on his work, reads his Bible through three times on his c'- P edition to relieve e mi E n Pasha, h , trusts in God and prays in the dark- est hours, and boldly and openly con- fesses his faith in God and His Pro- vidence.
