"You also made a bux telephone, and that didn't work." "How do you account for it?" asked Fred, curiously. "I do everything just according 10 the book, but somehow nothing comes out light." George smiled as he answered quietly : "I can account for it easily, be cause I saw you make both the sled and the telephone; and you did not make them according to directions.". "What do you mean?" demanded Fred, flushing up. "Didn't I put in everything required? What did J omit?" "You omitted exactness," replied George, gravely. "Now don't get angry, Fred, and I will tell you what I noticed. When you made the telephone, you did not draw the wire tight as directed. You left it hanging slack and when I spoke to you about il, you said it was 'good enough.' " "I know that," admitted Fred ; "but I thought it would do." "Of course, you did ! Then, in making the sled, you made two mistakes in your measurements. You nailed the forward cross-cleat about six inches from the end, thus interfering with the play of the front bob; and the guards were so low dowu that a fel ow's knuckles scraped the ground. The consequence was, there was no satisfaction in riding on the sled." "And I broke it up," exclaimed Fred, crossly. "It was not good." "It was a 'good enough' sled, said George, with a smile. "Instead of be Jng careful to nave every measui emeu i exact, you guessed at some, and made mistakes in others; aud to every objection you replied that it was good enough. That generally means not good at all " Fred turned angrily away from his friend, but he knew he was right. How many "good enough" boys are reading these lines? The boy who sweeps his employer's store, and ueglects the cornel's and dark places, is sweeping "good enough." So is the boy who skims his lesson, or does the home chores, in careless fashion. "Good enough" boys rarely attain more than subordinate position, aud if by any chance, they get into a position, of trust, they cannot keep it. It is the thorough boy, the careful boy, the exact boy, who makes his mark in the world.? Christian Obser ver. * 1 ? She Nerer Had a Pair. Among many interesting incidents connected with the closing of saloons in Kittanning, Penn., a leading merchant tells the following: A woman came into his store very timidly. She was evidently uuaccustomed to trading. "What can I do for you?" inquired , the merchant. "I want a pair of shoes for a little gill," she answered. "What number?" "She is twelve years old." "But what number does she wear ?" "I do not know." "But what number did you. buy Krkurrli t Hie l.oat n:iir for *T IICU J VU WU^iiv v??v ??w- A her?" "She never hud a pair in her life. You 9ee, sir, her father used to drink when we had saloons; but now that they are closed he doesn't drink any more, and thin morning he said to me, Mother, I want you to go up town today and get Sissy a pair of shoes, for she never had a pair in her life.' I thought, sir, if I told you how old she was, you would know just what size to give me." Oh ! it is pitiful that the children of this Republic must be robbed of shoes and bread that a few idlers may be supported. The man who gives his influence in favor of the saloons irives hi9 sanction to this cruel robbery. Methodizt Recorder. Oyer-Eatinjr. It is a decree that while civilized man cannot live without dining, he might live a great deal longer without mo much dining, or rather without dining so extensively. Sir Henry Thompson 9ays that he has been compelled by facts to think that m ire mischief in the form of disease has accrued to civ. ilized man from erroneous habits in eating than from the use of alcoholic drink. He also declared himself to doubt whether improper and inordinate eating were not as great moral evil as inordinate drinking. Many of our best physicians say that the habit of over-eating is at the bottom of tnosl troublesome diseases. Doubtless this habit is most often laid in childhood How many mothers feed their babies as often as they cry, taking it for granted in the most imoecue manner that the baby cries lor food, when . - more often the helpless little victim cries because it already ban had too much food. When the stomach once becomes accustomed to being crowded with food, if the supply is cut short there is at lirst a gnawing sensation that is frequently mistaken for hunger. Persevere a little longer in your abstinence, and you will find yourself benefitted by it. [ Hall's Journal of Health. The Churn*.?Whatever churn is selected, never set it in the sun to dry, but dry iudoors in clear, pure air. The swing churn, an oblong, rectangular box, in which the cream swathes back and forth from end.to end, produces the same results, and no will a| float or dash churn, if skillfully worked, provided the cream is properly tempered in each case. One of the most important points to observe in selecting a churn is to get one that is large enough. Small churns, or cliurns that arc too nearly filled with cream, when in use, cause a deal of trouble in thousands of dairy rooms. No churn should ever be more than half full of cream to give the best satisfaction. Churns without floats or dash will not work if too full, and others can not make the best butter or the most possible from the cream if they are much more than half full. There is no place where we can sooner attain unto quietness than on our knees before God. He will not leave us to distractions if we patiently ?valt Defore him. I J 11st ft T%*or<l Tor Jesus. THE BAPTIST COURIER. Thirty years ago :i young preacher was employed to teach school in a certain neighborhood. Many of his scholars were grown persons, and others were verging upon manhood and womanhood. Each day, as part of exercise, a chapter in the New Testament was read, iu which all who could read sufficiently well, were required to take part. Now and then, the teacher would drop a word of explanation, or ask a question oil some portion of the lesson. In tlie school was a sprightly gifted, and most promising girl of thirteen summers, well advanced for her age, of beautiful form and features, and with it all, a general favorite. It iw?r i?bif>f nmbition to mark the best lessons in her classes. In this particular, she was seldom disappointed. It was hers to excel; her seat was usually at the head of the class, Being young, pretty, witty, and full of life and full of fun. she, like most girN, soon banished serious impressions from the mind, to give place for I thoughts of amusement and pleasure. One day she read, "Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her." (Her own name was Mary). Her teacher turned to her and said, "Has she? has -he?" The class read on. Before the school term closed, Mary was a happy convert, rejoicing in the Christian hope, and her teacher had the pleasure of burying her, along with a large number of his scholars, in baptism. Mary said the words, "Has she? has she?" fixed conviction in her heart, and she could not free her mind from the thought until she chose the good part for herself. Mary's form has been sleeping in he silent dust for lo, these many, many long years. The summer clouds have passed over the spot, emptying 'heir contents upon the thirsty soil as the lightnings have Hashed upon their breasts, and tlie thunders have roared amid the warfare of their elements; the grass, that most beautiful and striking emblem of the life of the young, has grown and flourished upon the grave; the wind has passed over it, and its glory is gone; winter's cold has frozen the eartli and wrapt it in its winding sheet of snow; war's rude shock has shaken continents aud deluged nations in blood; cities have none down amid fire and flame; earthquakes have made the earth to (otter as a drunken man, sending fear and trembling into the hearls of the people; new kingdoms have arisen and old ones gone down, but amid all these changes, physical and human, in the world of nature and the world of man, that form has remained undisturbed in its peaceful slumbers of the tomb. The past! the past! what memories it awakens! (), the inuoeonev of its vouth. and the brightness of its sunny days! Who would not (Mil them back if he could? Mary is gone but her teacher lives : and sometimes amid earth's shadows a ray of light throws its cheering beam across his pathway, as he recalls the words, "Has she? has she?" and hope points to that house not made with bauds, eternal in the heavens, and says, "She has." Kind reader, are you a Christian ? IT not, why not ? "And 1'onr Contempt on nil 1113 Pride." The life and death of our Lord Jesus Christ are a standing rebuke to every form of pride to which men are liable. Take for instance: Pride of birth and rank. "Is not this the carpenter's son?" Pride of wealth. "The Son of man hath not where to lay his head." Pride of respectability. "Can any tjood thing come out of Nazareth?" I "He shall l>e called a Nazarene." Pride of personal appearance. "He hath no form nor comeliness." Pride of reputation. "Behold a) man gluttonous and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners." Priiie of independence. "Many others who ministered to him of their [ substance." Pride of learning. "Plow k no wet h ; this man letters, having never learned ?" Pride of superiority. "I am among you as he that serveth." He humbled himself." "Made a curse for us." Pride of success. "He came unto his own, and his own received him not." "Neither did his brethren believe on him." "He was despised and rejected of men." Pride of set/-reliance. "He went down to Nazareth, and was subject uutothem." Pride of ability. "I can of minei * 4it;nn. j> own feu uo Pride of self-will. "I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me." Pride of intellect. "As my father hath taught me. I speak these things." Pride of bu/otry. "Forbid him not, for he that is not against us is on our part." Pride of' resentment. "Farther, forgive them ; for they know not what they do." "Friend, wherefore art thou come?" Pride of reserve. "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death. "Tarry ye here and watch with me." The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected." Pride of sanctity. "This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them." The Reason for Xoii-C'hnrcli C.ohisr. The Bishop of Peterborough, Eng? land, in reply to the claim that unattractive services and too long sermons are what prevent the church from taking a greater hold on the people, says: "Unattractive services! Long sermons ! Those were the things, it issaid, that kept people away from church. They were tolii: 'If you only have attractive service; if you on lv please the people in the manner of your service, and only give them instructive and attractive sermons, you will always have your churches full.' One suggested short, another striking, and another amusing sermons, full of anecdotes, another bright music, another short services, another great services, as If they kept a show, and were trying to attract customers. Attracted by great services! Were they the attractions of great services that gathered together those disciples on the first day of the week, in an upper chamber, in fear of their lives from their enemies? i Were they attractive and bright services that gathered together the slaves and outcasts of the great Roman capital, as they gathered, in fear and darkness, in the Catacombs to break bread? Were they bright and attractive services that caused the Scotch Covenanters of old to go out and worship God on the wild hillsides? Were they brisrlit and attractive services that caused the old Huguenots to gather together in secret, chambers, dreadinp: lest the sound of their hymns should reach the ears of the cruel and licentious soldiery of a tyrant king? No. What gathared those men together was this; They felt that the life they needed for their souls they could find nowhere else, and they felt that they must perish it they could not obtain it, and this it was that drew them together for communion." In repeating the statements of one man to another, we take upon ourselves :i responsibility which is frequently quite overlooked. Mnny of | the misunderstandings and difficulties 'between people, arising constantly in I all departments of life, are to be traced j to the forgetting of this responsibility. It is the responsibility of safe transmission of thought, without damage or breakage, from one soul to another. Whether we voluntarily undertake the transportation and delivery, or are commissioned so to do, mAkes 110 difference; we are responsible for the ideas we receive, handle, and deliver, in both cases. It is surprising that people are always so ready to tell us what another says, or to report the views of another, when thev know that their /. 11 - A .1 1.4 I possession 01 me ouier s luougui is iit the best uncertain, and that their facility and skill in transmitting it are by no means beyond question. They certainly do not handle another's transcendental goods, his purposes, intentions, hopes, fears, relations, ideas, and all his personal possessings, as carefully as they do their own. And by their carelessness they are often the cause of mishaps or injuries which they can never repair. Successful thought-transference is, indeed, a very difficult art. To get the mental picture substantially perfect and complete out of one mind, and then to present it successfully to another mind, with all its proportions, attitudes, relations, perspectives, lights and shadows; to impress on the peculiar individuality of the listener no more, 110 less, than exactly the whole truth, is a difficult and delicate undertaking. So many and various kinds of allowances, reductions, or enlargements, must be made in taking the matter out of one :>et of circumstances and out of one kind of personality, and adjusting'it to the other. Every man before he repeats what he supposes another has said, and thus assumes the responsibility of injury and damage to an absent one, ought be; sure that his camera has foeused a substantially true and accurate picture of the other man's mind ; and then he ought to be sure that he is able to transfer this picture to the listener's mind with substantial fidelity. ?S. ?S". Times. riic Special Characteristics of Ilishop Taylor's Missions. 1st. They are self-support'ivy. By this it is not meaut that no outlay is' required to establish them, Missionaries cannot be sent to Africa with-1 out money to pay their transit, and they must each have a proper outfit. When they arrive in their respective fields thev must have the piotection of a suitable house, and they must have food supplied till the first crops can be taken from the ground. There are many preliminary and temporary out-l lays that cannot be prevented, and iliat it should be our greatest piesure to provide. But, gradually such assistance brings independence. 2d. The eo-oporatiou of the natives is established. Instead of going to ihem as rich visitors, backed up by a rich constituency, our missonaries go as poor meu, willing to live with those who are poor. The gifts thev take are enlightenment and Christianity; in return they expect the appreciation and co-operation of the natives; and t hey receive both. They are welcomed everywhere, and everywhere they are helped in establishing self-support. 3d. The Bishop takes with him the elemeuts of a pure civilization as well as a living Christianity. In most of the stations, many acres are given to the mission by the native ruler, and and this becomes the nucleus, and a representation to the natives, of civilization. Besides religious work, a common school is established ; soon the proper cultivation of the soil, the planting of trees and vines and the introduction of many things adapted to the climate and soil, are made the means of the practical education of the natives in agriculture. They are eneour- j iged to come and work by the side of \ the missionary, and do as he does and know what he kuows; and with similar seeds and plants and trees, aud with similar implements of husbandry, to develop similar farms and gardens tl|pi r flWIl. Of course. this is hard work for the missonary, and requires him to take oft' his kid gloves and broadcloth (if such missionaries have any), but is it not true missionary work? Then, as soon as possible, an Industrial School is established, iu which not only manufactures and use of tools are taught, but knowledge and skill in various trades. 4th. Another feature of this work is that it is not confined to the ordained ministry. Teachers and common workmen, filled with the Holy spirit, are made to feel that they are co-workers with God in this work. They, and their families, are made practical examples of that life we would have these natives live, and children as well as parents have a share in the good work. In fact,?jthese children are brought up I to take the place of the parents, when these have passed away, they are better prepared to do so than their parents, because they are thorouhly acclimated, familiar with circumstances, and usea tu the work.?African News. Saints nu?l Faithful. Never mind about surroundings. It is possible for us to keep ourselves in the love of God, aud in the fellowship of his Son, wherever we are, aud whatever may lie around us, You and I have to live in a big, wicked city, too, and to work out our religion in a society honey-combed with corrupti >?, because of commerce and other influences. Do not let us forget that these people whom Paul called "saints" and "faithful" had a harder fight to wage than we have, with less to hearten and stieugthen them in it. Only remember if the "saints in Ephesus" are to be "in Christ" they need to keep them very straight up. The carbonic acid gas is heavy and goe9 down to the hot- : torn of the cave, and if a man will walk bolt upright he will keep his nostrils above it; but if he stoops, he will get down into it. Walk straight up, with your head erect, looking to the Master; and your respiratory organs will be above the poison. If we are to 1 be in Christ when we are iu Ephesus, we need to keep ourselves separate and , faithful, aud to keep ourselves iu , Christ. If the diver comes out of the diving-bell he is drowned. If he keeps inside its crystal walls, he may be 011 the bottom of the ocean, but is { dry and safe.
