"She i9 a woman of great decision <

The next morning I made a sho;

The incident made such an impre

that way teach him obedience,
abandoned that theory long ago, an

A Matter of Conscience.
!- Once there was a good man whose
* name was John Kane, who lived in
! Poland, where he taughtand preached,
v It was his rule to suffer wrong rait
ther than to do a wrong to others.
One night, as he was riding through a
a dark wood, he, all at once, found hime
self at the mercy of a hand of robbers.
I- He got down from his horse, and said
e to the gang that he would give up to
e them all he had about him. He then
I- gave them a purse filled with silver
coins, a gold chain from his neck, a
I, ring from his finger, and from his
d pocket a book of prayer with silver
i- clasps.
e "Have you given us all ?" cried the
robber chief, in a stern voice; "have
it you no more money?"
The old man in his confusion said
), be had given them all the money he
d had; and when he said this, they let
J him go. Glad to get of so well, he
H went quickly on ana was soon out of
I sight; but all at onoe the thought
; came to him that he had some gold
1. Dieces stitched into the hem of his
i* robe. These he had quite forgotteD
when the robbers had asked him if he
o had any more money.
i "This is lucky" thought John Kane,
e for he saw that the money would
; bear him home to his friends, and that
r- he would not have to beg his way or
suffer for want of food and shelter,
g But John's conscience was * tender
tt one, and he stopped to listen to its
s voice. It seemed to cry to bim la eara
nest tones: "Tell not a lie! Tell not
o a lie !" These words would not 1st
him rest.
it Some men would say that such a
promise, made to thieves, need not be
e kept, and few men would have been
1- troubled after such an escape. But
I- John did not stop to reason. He went
? back to the place where the robbers
i. stood, and walking up to them, said
o meekly : "I have told you what is not
o true ; I did not mean to do so, but fear
i- confused me; so pardon me."
e With these words be held forth the

i- one of the robbers would take them.
A strange feeling was at work in their
>r hearts. These men, bad as they were,
il could not laugh at the pious old man.
e- "Thou shalt not steal," said a voice
within them. All were deeply mov;b
ed. Then, as if touched by a common
d feeling, one of the robbers brought
rs and gave back the old man's purse,
le another his gold chain, another his
i, ring, another his book of prayer, and
i- still another led up his horse and helped
the old man to remount.
1, Then all the robbers, as if quite
j, ashamed of having thought of harmi
ing so good a man, went up and asked
hid blessing. John Kane gave it with
j, devout feeling, and then rode on his
i: way, thanking God for so strange an
il escape, and wondering at the mixture
ir of good and evil in the human heart.

g "God helps us out of one trouble ini
to another/' says Kasenkamp, "until
l- we come to leave all with him." The
it truth of this crisp saying we at once
recognize. Much of our cry for deliverance
from trouble is childish. We
decline to learn the lesson it Is meant
to bring, and so the great Teacher
takes it way. ?sui anoiner truuuiv

3- be learned. Just because we are going
Is to school to divine Love, there can be
it no remission of that requirement of

bles over his first example in the rule
of three. The utmost release the

is another example for the one he has
v- failed to solve. So with our troubles,
le We "shift the place, but keep the
it pain," by our unwillingness to learn
God's meaning iu tbem. But the
rt hardness there is in God's love will
b. continue the discipline so loug as It is
f- ueeded. The wisest way is to learii at
jo ooce to put ourselves into God's hands,
a- and leave ourselves there. If trouble
r. come in the shape of business losses,
re for instance, it may be God's gentlest
le method of sundering our heart from

Mauy people have puzzled their
heads to define faith, bui it is a very
t simple thing after all. One of George
Macdonald's characters explains it
... saying: "When God tells ye to gang
2 into tbe mirk, lassie?gang!" A
t Christian sailor, when asked why he
_ remaiued so calm in a fearful storm,
>* replied : "I am not sure that I can
swim, but if I sink I shall only drop
