soldier friende, who were glad enough

In spite of its days of terror and its
days of privation, there was many a
sunny hour in the experience of the
young of the Houth, where,
with eager hearts, they seized the
pleasure of the present moment and
looked forward only with hope, and
when, i it hours, busy hands min-

experience in work with the juniors
has been very limited, but from the
few months I have worked among
them I came to the conclusion that
there are five points essential to the
maintenance of a successful Junior
society.
Isthink first and foremost comes the
need of a superintendent who will be
faithful in the work, who will be
found at her post regularly Sunday
after Bunday-—example is better than
precept—it is no use to urge the chil
dren to attend if our places are to be

ed will more than compensate for any
time spent or trouble taken,
But however regular the superin-
tendent, however helpful the commit
tee, however well prepared the lesson,
or however much personal interest we
show, all will be of no avail unless we
#pend much time in earnest prayer for
God's blessing on the work He has
given us todo. I fear we too often go
lo our meetings trusting in our own
strengih, and come away discouraged,
feeling that it has been an afternoon
wasted, The reason is not hard to
find. We have been trying to work
by ourselves when without Him we
can do nothing.
I try to makeit a practice to spend
the last ten minutes before going to
the meetings in prayer for God’s b a
