aMt lines who has not had some bitter
Liprwsed to their lips. So journey to

ZiiM of lod who bad in her hand a bitter

kMturned the bitterness into such abless
u that she tnxtes the love ot Jesus in

LESSON THOUGHTS.
We are apt to think too much of
physical pleasures in this world, ot the
gratification of our bodily desires; but
God would have us understand the In
finitely greater Importance of our
spiritual welfare, so that we should
seek this even at any sacrifice of physi
cal pleasure.
To be a stumbling-block Is a double
offence before God, for It Includes be
sides your own downfall the destruc
tion of another; like the death of a
drowning man who not only loses his
own life but pulls down with him one
who would otherwise be safe.
SELECTIONS.
Think not, O friend, your life will pass
Unnoticed by;
Tho' In the darkness and the shade
Your path may He,
Borne life will touch yours, however
brief
Your own mav be:
Ths stain upon that other life
lull cannot see.
Upon tho higher Alps the snow is
sometimes piled so high and so evenly
nalanced that the crack of a whin or
the shout of a voice may give sufficient
vibration to the air to bring down the
whole mass upon the travelers below.
So In our moral world, there are souls
Just hovering over the abyss of ruin:
a word, or even a look from us may
cause them to plunge down Into the
depths from which there Is no return;
or a helping hand stretched out to
them in the moment of peril may lead
them back to the aafs, ,ure paths of
virtue and peace.
A scaffold Is erected for workmen
near the top of a tall spire. It Is built
to hold a weight of 150 pounds. The
superintendent only weighs 120
pounds, and he walks out on the scaf
fold safely. Ho calls thither a fellow
workman, who. unfortunately weighs
200 pounds. The workman steps out
boldly; but the boards crash and they
fall to the pavement, lost, because these
men failed to calculate the difference
In weight. The superintendent indulges
In his frequent glass of beer. He has
a strung will and no Inherited appetite.
The workman under him follows him
to the saloon: but being weaker, he Is
caused to stumble; he becomes a
drunkard and a law-breaker.
Tuke Your Marching Onlcr.
F.acli day read your chapter or passage
with tho idea that you arc receiving jour
marchliig-orderK, that there is some new
service to render, some new duty to per
form, some nmv virtue to ui'ipiire. Let the
attitude of your soul he iiiilictitml by Sam

Do not be disconcerted by the llts of vexa

these are but opportunities of strengthening

which our dear Lord sets before us. Francis
