"They thnt were ready went In wHh
him to the marriage, and the door win
Khut."
I'liliiutaklnir nml caution are ns iuc
(jssary In Christian service tin In njiy
other matter of life. Because tho work
to God's and He 'promises supernatu
ral help It hy no menus follows that
the ordinary rules of prudence and dil
igence can be relaxed. Supernatural
help does not mean magic or results
reached without the use of means. It
signifies only spiritual Instead of ma
terial powors of heart and soul rather
than those of body and mind merely.
If you are watching for the bride
groom, you will need to take oil enough
to last through the long night watch
ing. Ono of the cautions Jesus repents
again and aaln Is: "Watch! Watch,
because ye know not the hour wherein
the Son of Man Cometh."
It takes time and effort to be a fol
lower of Jesus. No one can become a
Christian Just by saying "I will be for
Christ" There Is more In It than Just
wishing to be good. - Rome have at
tempted to make the way of salvation
so easy that every one shall go in
through the gates of pearl. The Mas
ter never did this. He everywhere and
always Insisted that the service of
Ood required all the time, strength and
entire devotion of the person. There
Is no room for anything else.
It Is better not to be self deceived
about this matter. You may be very
nice and cultured, with refined tastes
and quite correct habits, nothing low,
vulgar or common. What of It? Have
you ever had any real care for Jesus
and His service? Will you obey His
orders? Do you love Illm supremely,
can you endure the long hours of self
denial, watching with others, sacrifice
of pleasures and comforts for the sake
of relieving the distress of Ills suffer
ing ones? if so, have patience. Wait
and you shall sometimes hear the glad
cry, "Behold, He cometh." To go with
Illin Into the marriage will be full
compensation for nil trials and priva
tions endured In waiting and watching.
Our Italian Lender.
Dr. William Hurt was In 1SS0 trans
ferred from the New York east confer
ence to the Italy conference and has
since that time been tireless In his plan
ning and building on all lines of work
WILLIAM UUHT, D. I).
In that land. Our great building In
Home Is the result of his faith and
perseverance. He has proved to bo
tho providential man for the place.
The whole church has confidence In
hlra because he has shown wisdom and
tact and patience in ono of the most
difficult mission fields in the world.
Our real beginning here was In 1S72,
when Dr. L. M. Vernon made heud
quarters at Bologna. Methodist serv
ices were begun' July 22, 1873. We now
have 31 churches and 10 other preach
ing places with 23 preachers and 8
preachers on trial. We havo 2,82(1
members and probationers. The work
Is firmly rooted and Is growing with
healthful rapidity. Our schools are
doing excellent work and are hindered
only by lack of funds from reaching
much larger numbers. Methodism has
the opening which promises much of
helpfulness In the redemption of Italy.
How to Speak.
It Is not an easy thing for most peo
ple to speak In meetings for religious
purposes. Yet this Is one of tho most
helpful means of grace. Thero aro
many causes which hinder tho average
Christian talking In the prayer service
of the church. How to overcome the
natural timidity and secure confidence
Is a question not easily answered.
Some repeat a verse of Scripture or a
stanza of a familiar hymn. This is
good, but liable to become monotonous
if never varied and does not develop
much strength for other service.
An excellent plan would bo to care
fully read the volume just mentioned.
Take the paragraph you read In the
morning in your prayer closet and
which you have thought about so
many times In the day. Itepent It or
read It. Even this will do good aud
bo refreshing. Gradually tho wish to
say something nbout It or ask some
question, express some opinion, make
some application or relate an Incident
suggested by It will prompt you to
speak, and you will be surprised at the
ase with which you can express your,
ideas when the deslro to say some-i
thing urlses In place of tho mere obli
gation to fill up the time.
I'll praise my Maker while I've breath,
And when my voice Is lust in death
I'luttic vim 11 t'lnpluy my nobler powers.

George Fix met with an acci

leave him with a very sore hand
for somo time. He was engaged
at tho steam saw mill out on Wil

sawing them into lath, one, in
some manner, became ontangled
and flew around, striking Mr.
