Assoefntion,
In the multitude of large and
important interests that aro press•
ing upon the church is there not
danger that S. S. work may b4 re•
garded au of minor imporanee ? if
we are not faithful to the children

neglected children there would he ?

Saviour. Many of the ablest and
most, usefulmenand women in the
church were, when children, gather•
eat in from the slims and back lanes
by 8. S. work and by them instruct

How diberoot would have been the
results had they been left to the
had they been left to themselves
or to the care of intemperate and
ungodly parents or friends. Could
there be any other way in which eo
many could exert such an influence
for good as they can in S. S. work
As well try to estimate the value of
raindrops and rays of [sunshine in
the growth of planta and flowers as
the benefit of S. S, work. 'There
are the benefits to the scholar, t)
the teacher; to the ,church, to the
home and to the world. There the

every Sabbath day, with a million
and a quarter of consecrated men

vast results that mcc

such work ? Think of how many
a poor mother, driven almost to the
verge of despair, has had her
troubled spirit calmed and cheered
by the sweet stratus of some hymn
or the remembrance of some passage
of scripture learned in Sunday
school ; how many a rough father
has been arrested in a wicked career
by some word.) dropped from the
lips of his innooeut child that seem•
ecl'to reach his heart hi a way no
other words ever did ; how many a
wounded, soldier on the battle field
has been sustained and comforted
inhte.'eat moments by the remem-
brance of some words taught him
by his beloved S S. teacher. The
benefits produced by `8. S. work

true relation with the church of
Ohrist. It is a vital part of it.
The prophesy of ultimty3 victory iu

give hero, the church through the
S. S. dealing with the young. A.
church withoat a S. S. would be
like a house in which the arahiteet
omitted the loots. Tho S. 8. is
nothing but the (dearth working
on the younger portion of the cora-
amity. The pastor who provides
for the spiritual wants of the child•
ren will never find his church for-
sakou by them but will find them
among his best hearers and most
loyal friends. 1u a few years the
Sunday ech0o1 children of to duty
will be filling the places of pastors,
suporintondente, teachers ani all 8.
S. workers. In the words of one of
the poets : "Iustead of seeking

While aiding the young 111 thele

The very act of simplifyiug instate

young is a most admirable way of
'axing divine truths deeperand
rendering their valao more apparent

coming to ohnroh, many are drawn
there by the good teacher, or the
kindly pastor who moves among
the classes, and iu the S. S. they
receive the first impressions and
lessons which are to fit them for
chum', work. The influence of S.
S. work is felt in the homes of
Ohrietians who follow tip the efforts
of teachers, as well as in the home.;
where little help or sympathy a will
be given in the work. It has been
found by most devoted parents that
they receive invaluable aid in the
training of their children by the her harvest be from the trees of

in this way the parents are eumn-
lated in the work of caring far the
religious education of their children.
Then the S. S. may iu many 04005
be the means of giving to good and
anxious paronte, who int, ht not
tberuselvee be able to frame it, )t
regular system of training for child
roe. Again, there is the sanctify
ing and enoblhng influenes of con-
versation between parent and child
ou the thlugs that pertain to eyrie.
'meting life, brought about in no
strained way, but arising from the
subject of S. S. lessons. What a
powerful influence upon tate homes
of our people are the visits of
earnest and anxious teachers, who
are interested in the welfare of the
home. There is no shorter road to
a parent's heart then through the
children. The S S. is often the
moans of bringing the fact of the
Sabbath and religion before the in.
mates of many, an ungodly home,
who, perhapo, never bear the name
of Justis except in the hymns their
children have learned in the S. S.,
or get any fragment of eternal truth
except what then children may
carry hone. There ate the exposi-
tions on the 130800 prepared by
some of the best men in our ehuroh
es for the aid of teachers end
scholars, also papers printed tor the
children and a large supply of book
literature. There aro thousands of
volumes eironluted among the child.

Havlin had over 24 years experience in the credit business
I have come to the conclusion to do a Cash Trade, knowing that
it will be a saving both to seller and buyer, for when you take
into consideration the cost of books, billheads, and a man's time
to keep them, postage and travelling expenses collecting accounts ;
and add to that the bad debts, a few mistakes and some law,
I think that all honest men will agree with me that the Cash

Est slowly, masticate the food
tborouglily,even more eo, if possible,
than is required in health.
Avoid drinking at meitls ; at
most take a few sips of waren, un•

In general, dyspoptie stomachs
manage dry food bettor than that
containing ntuell fluid ; so avoid
light soups.
Eat neither very hot nor very cold
food. The beet temperature is
about that of the body. Avoid ex-
posure to cold seen after eating.
Be careful to avoid excess iu eat -
hag. Ent no more than the wants
of the system require. Strength
depends not on What hs eaten, blit
on what is digested,
Never take vielaut 0xeceise of
any sort, either mental or physical,
either jnst before or after a meal.
It is not gooll to sleep imtnodietely
after eating.
