Many a man has bad very hard ground ten culture, and it has only been lla.a,ough severe toil he has raised even the amallest crop of grace. A very harsh minister was talk- ing with a very placed elder, and the placid elder said to the blush ment, toming down train step to step mister: "Doctor, I do wish you I until it came se near C could bear the ould control your temper." "An," musical rush and all v th broad etaira it came foaming, flash- ing, roaring down, until sunlight and wave int gleesome wrestle tumbled at iny feet. So It is with. the Church of pardon from; Above, joy. from above, adoptton from. above, sanotification from above. Ohl that now, Goa w,clu Ed turn on the watere of salvation, that they unght flow down through this heritage, and. that to -day we might find this very place to be "Elim," with twelve wells of water, and three score and ten palm -trees. I notice that the fine gardens some - tunes have high fences around them, and I cannot gat In. It is so with the King's garden. The only glimpses you ever get of such a garden is when the king rides out in his splendid care tinge. It is hot so with this garden -this King's garden. I throw wide open the gate, and tell you all to come in. No monopoly in religion. Whin ever will, may. Choose now between a desert macre garden. Many of you have triad the garden of this world's dellght, Yon bave, feunn it h'as been a chagrin. So it was with' Theodore Hook. He Made all the world laugh. He makes us laugb how when we read his poems', but he could tot make his own heart hough While in the midst of his festivities, he confronted a looking-glase, and he .saw birnself,- and said: "There, that is true. I leak just as I ant, done up in body, mind, and purse." So it was with Shenatone, of whose garden 1 told you, at the beginning of my sermon. Ile set down amid those bowers, and said: "I Wave lost ray road to happiness. I am an- gry, and envions, and frantic, and de- spise everything. around me, just as it becomes a madmen to do." Oh, ye weary souls, come into Christ's, garden to -da ,r and ' k s a make..glace the city of 'oval God. Preaching the Gospel is one on these aqtreduets. The Bible is .another.

I bad a friend who cants to me and told: "I dare not join the Church." I said "Why ?" "Oh,' he said: have such a violent temper. Yesterday morning, I was crossing very early at the Jer- sey city ferry, and I saw a nallkmaia pour a large amount of water into the milk oan, and I said to him: 'I think that wtlI'do,.' and he insulted me, and I knocked him down. Do you think ought to join the Church!" Never- . tbeless, that nery sa,me man, who was so hansh in his behaviour, loved Christ, and eould not speak of staged things without tears of emotion and affection. Thorns without, but sweet- ness within -the best specimen of Mexican cactus I ever ow. In this garden of the Church, which Christ has planted, I also find the snowdraps, beautiful but cold look- ing, seemingly another phase of the ' wanter. I mean those Christians who are peecise in their tastes, unimpas- sioned, pure as snowdrops ahd as cold. They never shed any. tears, they never get excited, they never Amy anything rashly, they nevet do any- . thing precipitately. • Their pulses never , flutter, their nerves never twitch, their indignation never boils over. They live longet than most people; but their life is in a minor key. They never tun up to "0" above the staff. In the ,music of their life they have no* Inmate passages.

CHILDREN'S IMSEASES, . To treat summ'er complaint lel Phil- dren the "Medical Record". says the first point is to ctiticontinue all kinds of food wbieh were given at the tirae of the attack; for example, if. milk has basil given, it must be discone tinued, and a food more easily assimi- lated substituted, as for example bar- ley water, rtoe water, farina water, sago water, cornstarch water. These simple preparations' are usuallO made by adding a tablespoonful of barley, riee or farina to 4 pint of water, boil- ing the nine, straining it and warm - Ing It immediately before feeding. It should be given in the samanuaritities as the child bas been in the lia.bit on taking prior to- this attack, but at longer intervals, thus allowing the stozaaeh much more time for the di- gestton and absorption of a lighter article. ot food and giving it a little - more rest, • •For example, if a child. has been fed on four ounces Of cow's milk and two ounces of barley waiter, and the feeding was continued every three boars, tlaen it as a good plan during au attack of slimmer com- plaint to stop the nailk and give only barley weter. six ounces, And feed every four tours. During the inter- val, if tbe child is very thirsty, it is a gciod plan to giye boiled water plain, or boiled water -to which the wbite of a. taw eng, albumen water, and some salt are added, and, if • the child is •old enough, an occatiional few drops of the expressed juice:Of meat, made by broiling a steak over a tire and ex- pressing the *ea' in a lemon squeez- er or meat press.

An idea of .the great increase in the cost, of dlamonas imparted by the labor of polishing and mounting, as well as by the profits of traders, may be obtained by comparing their price at the Alines in South Africa, with the pricea in the jewelry shops. A dia- mond weighing one oarat, mounted m a ring, may cost the buyer $100 or more, but at Kimberley the average Valtie of. diamonds is only 60.39 per carat. The value, of course, varies of neceesity, with the size and purity of the atones, but the total value of the 22,843 carats of diamonds found in the Transvaal in 1898 was only sug,812, an average of $9.32 per tame, Perhaes every one is not aware of the quite magical effect of a face shampoo when tired out, Its refresh- ing powers are act great that the lit- tle trouble involved is not worth coo. of tbe more Well-toelo far item the city streeta.
