The npostle I'mil says, 'He tasted death fur every mini." Maybe I enn explain thin, When the apostle I'aul used that lungiingo it had been tln custom to put criminals to death by making them drink poison. You may have heard of the great mid good Ho crates. He was made to drink a cup of hem lock, n deadly poison : hence ho wns said to taste nf death, and nil who were put to death inthis munnerweresaldto taMe dentil. If there were many criminals they were nil placed in a long row. The worst man was placed at the head ami made to li Ink llrst. Then the cup was passed along down, until all had taken a cup of poison. Now, in the language of the apostle l'aiil.all men nre represented us sinners deserving death. A little boy wa- pa-siug by a dark cellar, lie looked down, but be could see nothing, lie heard n nise. He looked again, but all was dark. II" said, "I'apu. Is that you '" "Yes, my son." said tho well known voice nf his father, "eniiie down here." pupa. "said the buy, I am nfrnid. It In so dark I cannot see y mi at all ! " "Hut," said the father, "nothing shall hurt you. I can see you plainly. Just come right along ; I w ill eatdi you' In my arms." After another moment the boy leaped Into the arms of ive. Hewns glad for ho was with III 4 father, and felt that h could always trust him, iu th" dark or In the light, in the cellar or en the housetop. Now children that In faith. You can believe that way In your father, mid why can you not believe lu yoiil Heavenly Fath -r lu ib-sus, your Suvlor'r' Our Young Folks. run TRAITS OK CHRIST. Kvery true I'hrlstiun life Is ft portrnjiture of the hrl.-t. The greatest artists have spent themselves in striving to depict their ideal of the face ami figure of the Havlor ol men. And yet many a devout observer t'trn away from these superb fancies of "great art" with the fceliug of their iusiitUuluiicy mJ with a wish that the attempt bad never rv0ado. Whut If h Vihiy torus iugf fullV'ftiPtii the painter's effort were to re solve to portray the Christ, not upon canvas, but lu his own living thought, word, nnd deed! Hero is uu opportunity for everyone to show the Ideal Man. Hays Kunkiu : "Tlx this In your mind us the guid ing principle nf all right practical labor aud tourci) of all healthful life energy- that your art is t ) be the praise of something you love. It may be only the praise of a liero ; It may be the praise of Ood. Ho you siiia'l nr great, what lieallhy url Is posilile to you must be the expres sion of your true delight In a real thing Let ter than your art." The living Havior Is that reality which is better than tlio life art wlilcli shows delight in Him and ln-spi'iik: His praise, It is not required of us that wt be scholars or artists, that we have wcillb or station. The smallent and the weuki . ol us has ample power to make bis life a Por trayal of the spirit of Christ by making ll to speak Ills praise and to show delight iu Him. S. H. Time.-.
