Thla curious little creature was found a number of years ago by some natives who were hunting a wolf. When he saw them be ran Into a cave, but was speedily captured. They decided he was a wolf boy about seven years old, a little fellow who had undoubtedly been carried off by the wolves when a baby, and Instead of being eaten had been nnrsad and protected by the moth er wolf Just as the Mowgll of Kipling's stories was. He naturally became more animal than boy, running oa his arms and legs and living like the wild beasts of the Jungle. He was' put in an orphan asylum and a great effort was made to teach him to be a human being, but It was net very successful. "He still Uvea," says Mr. Bok, "and is only half human.

When the preaching la aimed straight at the face of him how quick the hypo crite begins to dodge. Those who make the Bible a lamp to their feet, will never have to spend much time ln the dark. There are people who claim to be praying for the poor, who never do anything else for them. Tbe devil has to work for all he gets In tbe neighborhood where the right kind of a good man lives. " If we are afflicted, let us find com fort in the thought that It la because God sees a good reason for it. There must be a constant dying to a lower life, If we would know what It means to enjoy a higher one. It will probably be some time before the people who blow trumpets solely to advertise them, are all dead. There to disappointment In store for the man who undertakes to seek the Lord with a bottle In his pocket. Soms people are unsaved sinners to- daT. because they sousrht a shouting experience Instead of seeking Christ. Every man who has ever heard of Christ has some kind of opinion about him, but only those born of God know him to be Christ. The real owner of a thing is the one who sets the most good out of it, not the one who may have the name of being its possessor. We often pray for faith to remove mountains, when what we need is light to see that they should remain right where they are. When the preaching Is against sins that are not known this side of China, and no other, the devil will help the preacher to get a congregation. Go forth with a smile on your face, and you will return believing that most people are good-natured. Wear a frown, and you will find plenty or quarrelsome people. Tbe Norwegian Moose Blk.
