A Boy's Battle,
Earth's bravest and truest heroes
Fight with an unseen foe,
And win a victory grander
Than you or I can know.
We little dream of the conflict
Fought in each human soul,
And earth knows not of her heroes
Upon Gods Donor Roll.
But one of earth's little heroes
Right proud am I to know—
His name for me is mother;
My name for him is Joe.
At the thought of a ten-year-old hero
My friends have often smiled ;
But a battle field's a battle-field
In the heart of man or child.
There were plans of mischief brewing;
I saw, but gave 110 sign,
For I wanted to test the mettle
In this little knight of mine.
"Of course you must come and help us,
For we all depend on Joe,"
The hoys said; and I waited
For his answer—yes or no.
He stood and thought for a moment:
'I read his heart like a book,
For the battle he was fighting
Was told in an earnest look.
Then to his merry playmates
Outspoke my loyal kuight :
"No, boy, I can't go with you,
For I know it wouldn't be rigkt!"
1 was proud of my little hero
And I prayed by his peaceful bed—
As I gave him his good night kisses,
And the good-night words were said—
That, true to God and his manhood,
He might stand in the world's fierce fight,
And shun each unworhy action
Because "it wouldn't be right."
God hears the heart without the words,
but he never hears the words without the
heart.
A Christian is like a locomotive. A lire
must be kindled in the heart of it before
it will go.
The faith which looks forward is far
richer than the experience that looks
backward.
A man is great just in proportion to
his superiority to the condition of life
in which he is placed.

FEW FACTS
in regard to the
White
Sewing
Machine.
It is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands pre
eminent among first-class machines, for
its simplicity and light-running qualities.
It is a mechanical fact that the White
Sewing Machine is made from the best
material and of excellent workmanship,
and all its wearing, parts are adjustable,
so that lost motion can be "taken up" in
an instant.
It is an undisputed fact that the dura
bility of the White Sewing Machine is
sustained by a written warranty for five
years.
It is a progressive fact that the White
embodies the most practical and useful
improvements of ofticr sewing machines,
together with advantages peculiarly its
own.
It is a money-making fact that the
Wnite is thb easiest-selling selling ma
chine in the market, and therefore all
wide-awake dealers make it thejr specialty.
It is a gratifying fact that the White
gives universal satisfaction, and that it is
steadily and rapidly increasing in public
favor.
CAUTION.
Do not be imposed upon by agents and parties
who are interested in the purchase and sale of other
machines. It has become a common trick for nn
scrupulous competitors to get a White machine and
put it in had order so that they might prejudice pur
chasers against it and in favor of their own machines.
To guard against such contemptible trickery, we
advise all intending purchasers to correspond with
us direct, and we will take pleasure in giving them
the address of a regular authorized dealer for the
"White" in their county, or we will offer to seM
them a machine direct at special prices, and guaran
tee satisfaction in every respect.
