Warning Motea Calling the Wicked to Repentance. DOLLAR never WITH THEE. stingy man. M i s f o r tunes and imprudence are often twins. God goes with the man who is willing to take a hard place. There is no vir tue in doing right simply because we have to. Better be a lamp in the house than try to be a star in the sky. God made man too great to find his life in the present moment How many times good fortune has come to us through our mistakes. Backsliding begins when the Chris tian begins to "live on stale bread. The man will be well occupied whose first aim in life is to do God's will Do what you can do well, and yon will soon be able to do much better. If we try to please everybody, we shall soon have the respect of nobody. Time is wasted in trying to make a trotter out of a horse with a broken tfeg. God needs Daniels, and Josephs, and Elijahs to-day, as much as he ever did. The man who thinks his sin will never find him out has deceived him* If I couM know that after all These heavy bonds have eeased to thrall, j We, whom in life the Fates divide, buys much for a j Should sweetly slumber side by side— That one green spray would drop its dew Softly alike above us two. All would be well, for I should be At last, dear loving heart, with thee. How sweet to know this dust of ours, Mingling, would feel the selfsame dow ers— The scent of leaves, the song-bird’s tone At once across our rest be blown— One breadth of sun, one sheet of rain Make green the earth above us twain. Ah, sweet and strange, for I should be last, dear tender heart, with thee. our •elf. The man dies well, who dies with the consciousness that he has done his best It depends on who does the preach ing as to whether the devil sleeps in church. — Not to give cheerfully when we give to God is to take all the value out of the gift The man who earns his bread finds a sweetness in it that the loafer never knows. The man who loafs when he shonld be at work will have to work when h« ■sight rest Many people want to move moun tains simply to attract attention to themselves. The man who spends bis life In try ing to make this world like heaven does godlike work. The man who always does bis best will find a steady demand for the things that he can da Solomon’s wisdom didn’t count for mach after Pharaoh’s daughter found 0 place in his heart Who knows how much angels are disappointed when a preacher falls to do Ms prayerful beet? t Many a man 1* screening gravel, who might be dreoslng diamonds, bad he pfopetiy -um -here- If the devfl loves his swO ho must be delighted with the man wbo says meaa gdagg In an anonymous letter. But half the earth may intervene Thy place of rest and mine between.

"Yes, I would. Anything but one continual round of reallys. I suppose you do it because you’re so realistic.” "Do you think so?” “You are in one of your teasing moods to-day,” remarked Miss De Ko rus, with some stiffness. “Am I, dear? There, I beg your par don. It’s the after effects of that stuffed elub.” “What was it, anyway?” “Oh, It was great fun at least, for those who were Inside. Part of the stuffing, so to speak.” “Will you explain yourself, Kather ine?” “Well, I’ll try to. I’m not quite sure that I can make it clear to you, but I’ll try. You see, I am almost the only woman of my acquaintance who Las not belonged to a elub, and sometimes I have felt that maybe I was missing some fun, which would be dreadful. Even you belong to a club.” “Not exactly. Mine Is a guild.” “Oh! Well, that’s different, I sup pose. At any rate, this was a dub— that Is, it became one yesterday, when It was organized, had its officers elect ed and a habitation and a name pro vided for It The name was the Tues day Club for Parliamentary Practice. Isn’t that great?” “B\it why did you Join a club for par liamentary practice?" •That’s Just what Jack asked me lost night and I told him that he woudn’t go to church on Sundays, so I had made up my mind to work out my salvation on week days.” “But what about parliamentary prac tice r “Jack again! Did you ever hear of heaven’s first law—namely, order?” “Of course.” "Well, when Mrs. Van Klubber told me that the text book of the club would be Roberts’ ‘Rules of Ord.er’ wasn’t It natural for me to think It the first step toward a halo?” “I don’t understand,” said Miss De Korus. “Of course you don’t I don’t think I really expected It Never mind. I’ll be liberal, too. Did you ever hear of a packed convention?” “Yes, I think so.” “That’s what they did to the club yesterday, and that’s why I call It a stuffed club, which may or may not be the right name for It but which has a familiar sound. The Parlle Prack— one really has to call It something for ■hort—w’as the pet project of Mrs. Van Klubber. She and half a dozen of her friends have been working It up for some time, and they had everything beautifully planned. They got up a constitution and by-laws, made out a list of officers they meant to have elect ed, and then they Invited a whole lot of women to come and help organize. I went among the rest; though, to tell you the truth, Nancy, I had about as much Idea of Joining as—as you have of what I am going to tell you. Still, I don’t know why Mrs. Van and those women—you know the set, Mrs. Fed crated Jones and Mrs. Organized Smith and Mrs. Amalgamated Brown, and all those women—should have seemed as surprised to see me as they did. “ ‘Why, Mrs. Van Klevver! You here,’ and all that sort of thing, you know. “They patronized me as if I were a child. I thought Mrs. Amalgamated Brown would take me under my arms, lift me into a chair and offer me a pic ture book to play with.” “Not really!” exclaimed Miss De Ko rus. Mrs. Van Klevver made a gesture of despair. “You’re a hopeless case, Nancy. Never mind. If you don’t say something be sides ‘Really’ when I finish my story I’ll declare our friendship adjourned sine die. Now, listen! 1 didn’t care about being patronized, so I sat down in one of the middle seats and let them alone. I don’t kuow who all the wom en that came were. They seemed to know Mrs. Van and her crowd, at least by sight, and I found out from what I overheard that most of them were club fiends. I suppose that was the reason I didn’t know any of them. The first thing I knew Mrs. Federated Jones was on the platform asking some one to nominate a temporary chairman. She hadn’t the words out of her mouth when Mrs. Smith pli>ed up Mrs. Brown's name, and Mrs. Van seconded it, and the women in front said ‘aye, and Mrs. Brown got up In the chair be fore you could wink. ‘Humph,’ said a woman back of me, ‘they’ve got things fixed all right. Trust Mrs. Amalgamated for that “ ’Wonder who they’ll put In for president?’ the woman with her whis pered “ That Mrs. Van, I’ll bet anything,’ said the first one. ‘You see, they won’t have Mrs. Brown, ’cause they’ve made her temporary chairman, and the other two want to be secretary and treasurer. You can see that’ “I began to be Interested. I listened to the reading of the constitution and all that sort of thing, and when they asked those who would like to Join to come up and sign their names I went, and put mine down with the rest Mrs. Organizer Smith had charge of the book, and when It came my turn to sign she pretended to be immensely astonished. What,’ she exclaimed, ‘not Mrs. Van Klevver! Well, what next?* Mrs. Van Klevver paused and smiled. “I fiatter myself, Nancy,” she resum ed, “that I astonished her even more by what did come next. When we had all takeu our seats again they counted the names and announced that there were thirty-nine signers to the constitu tion, and that they would proceed to the election of officers, twenty votes be ing necessary to a choice. Mre. Brown said that if there was no objection the election woultl be by a—well hv ™»,r they call It At any rate, that was where they struck the first rock. A woman back of me objected. She want ed the vote to be by ballot That’s where you write a name—oh, you know what it Is, do you? Well, first they said they would elect a president, so some one got up and nominated Mrs. Van Klubber, and It was seconded. “ ‘I told you so,’ said the woman back of me. “Someone else got up and nominated that frimpy Mrs. Caucus and that was seconded, too. In the meantime the head women had been tearing ;>aper into slips, which they sent around through the audience, with bits of pen cils, which you passed to your neigh bor. I was waiting for a pencil to get to me, when I heard the woman back of me saying: ‘How do you spell her name, any way ?’ ‘I don’t know,’ said the woman be side her. “Some one touched me on the shoul der, ‘How do you spoil that Mrs. Van’s name?’ the woman whispered. “‘Mrs. Van’s?* I said. “ ‘Yes.’ “ ‘K-l-e-v-v-e-r,’ I whispered. “ ‘Oh, I thought It was Klubber!* " ‘No, Klevver.' “Why, Katherine, how dared you?” “I dare do anything that becomes a| Van, and I guess I’ve Just as much itf said Mrs Amalgamated uright out loud, and she went j d.the table and took a look at the bM'hen she went over and whls- lo Mrs. Van Klubber, who was s»t a little distance trying to look ichlus. and succeeding aiiout as v a man who knows that he will LhI on for the next vxtompomne* oe«rh at a banquet, and is afraid lut learned it thoroughly.
