I'nliiHtuklng niul caution are ns me
wuiary In Cliilntliiii service ns In any
other mntter of life. Because tho woik
Is God's and Ile-prointsos supernatu
ral help It by no menus follows that
the ordinary rules of prudence ai)d (111
iKonce can be rel;ixed. Supernatural
help does not mean magic or results
reached without tho use of means. It
signifies only spiritual Instead of ma
terial powers 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. One of the cautions Jesus repeats
again and agfiln Is: "Watch! Watch,
because ye know not the hour wherein
the Son of Man conieth."
It takes time and effort to be a fol
lower of Jesus. No one enn become a
Christian just by saying "I will be for
Christ." There Is more In It than Just
wishing to be good. Some have at
tempted to make the wny of salvation
so easy that every one shall go In
through the gntes of pearl. The Mus
ter never did this. Ho everywhere and
always Insisted that the service of
God required all the time, strength nnd
entire devotion of the person. Thero
Is no room for anything else.
It Is better not to be self deceived
about tills mutter. You mny bo very
nice and cultured, with refined tastes
and quite correct habits, nothing low,
vulvar or common. What of It? Have
you ever hud any real care for Jesus
and Ills service' Will you obey His
orders? l)n you love Him supremely,
can you endure the long hours of self
denial, watching with others, sacrifice
of pleasures nnd comforts for the stiko
of relieving the distress of His suffer
ing ones? If so, have patience. Walt
nnd you shall sometimes hear the glad
cry, "Heboid, He conieth." To go with
Illm Into the marriage will be full
compensation for nil trials and priva
tions endured in waiting aud watching.
Our Italian Leader.
Dr. William Hurt was In 1.HS0 trans
ferred from the New York east confer
ence to the Italy conference and has
since that time been tireless In ids plan
ning and building on all lines of work
WILLIAM HUKT, D. D.
In that land. Our greut building In
Homo Is the result of his faith and
pereeverance. He has proved to bo
the providential man for the place.
The whole church has confidence in
him because ho has shown wisdom and
tnct aud patience In ouo of the most
difficult mission fields In the world.
Our real beginning here was In 1S72,
when Dr. ' L. M. Vernon made head
quarters at Bologna. Methodist serv
ices were begun' July 22, 1873. We now
have ill churches and 10 other preach
ing places with 23 preachers and 8
preachers on trial. Wo havo 2,82(1
members and probationers. The work
Is firmly rooted and Is growing with
healthful rapidity. Our schools aro
doing excellent work and are hindered
ouly by lack of funds from reaching
much larger numbers. Methodism has
the opening which promises much of
helpfulness lu the redemption of Italy.
How to SnenU.
It Is not an easy thing for most peo
ple to speak In meetings for religious
purposes. Yet this Is ouo of tho most
helpful means of grace. Thero are
many causes which hinder the average
Christian talking lu the prayer service
of the church. How to overcome the
natural timidity nud 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 be to care
fully read the volume Just mentioned.
Take the paragraph you read la the
morning In your prayer closet nnd
which you have thought about so
many times lu the day. Ilepeat It or
read It. Even this will do good aud
bo refreshing. Gradually the wish to
say something about It or usk some
question, express some opinion, make
some application or relate nu Incident
suggested by It will prompt you to
speak, and you will bo surprised at the
use with which you can express your
Ideas when the deslro to say some
tiling arises In place of the mere obli
gation to 1111 up the time.
I'll pralso my Maker while I've breath,

While life and thought and Winy last
Or immortality endures.

George Fix met with an acci
dent last week that will, at least,
leave him with a very sore hand
for some timo. Ho was engaged
at tho steam saw mill out on Wil
son's farm; and while feeding
slabs into a machine that was
sawing them into lath, one, in
some manner, became entangled
and flew around, striking Mr,
Fix a violent blow on tho hand
