every book be eoold lay hi* bands

So great waa his thirst for know!

than his mother thought was well,
and often did abe take hi* book
from bint and tend him off to bed.
lie planed a book, too, on a portion
of the “spinningJenny” in the fee

from time to time, aa he we* able
to do without neglecting hla work.
That he did wot neglect his work la
clear from tbe (hot that he rose from
the lowest position iu the faetorj to
one In which be received very good
wages. By tbe time be waa sixteen
he knew Virgil and lloraoe better
than moot boys of that age in cot
lege.
Bnt, what waa better than this, be
knew amt loved God, and had an
earnest desire to be a miiwionary to
tbe heathen. Ho wished, too, to be
able to do good to tbe holies aa well
aa to the tools of men, and be deter
mined to atndy Died trine aa wed aa
theology. He reeolved, further, that

losses we bare austained amount to
upwards of fifteen hundred iMbm.

“I don’t think a lady can manage
him,” said Mr. Kemp, “but 1 confess
I should like to bare him away from
these good hoya."
So Firank was duly placed in Mias
0 ’< class. The superintendent
detained Mr. Kemp a moment after
school fo make a suggestion.
“Say nothing to Mis* C about
her scholar. I want him to have a
fair chance with her, and begin with
a white record.’
Mis* C , a fair, sweet young
lady, calm and gentle in her mein,
took her seat on tbe next Sabbath,
in the middle sf her class, six rest lens
little people, with eager eyes looking
at her, ready to drink in ker teach
ings ; six immortal souls that should
live forever. Putting up a silent
prayer for help to Him who is able
to give it, she begun her work.
Frank, hia Mack eyes dancing with
fun and mischief, attracted her at ten
tion first. He had a pocket full of
little paper halls, which ho waa slyly
throwing hero and there. He was
just aiming one at Mr. Kemp's head,
when Miss C *s little gloved hand
waa laid gently on hia own.
“That is very good fun. Frank,”
she said, “but it is not right today;
I want yon for my ehief of staff, in
this class, an put those away, ami
find my plnoe for me, while f am
writing down your names.’
Feeling a new sense of reapoiMd-
bility, the tittle “chief of staff” found
the place in hia teacher's Bible. ’IV
lesson for tbe day waa on the “new
.commandment,” and the little iriiows
listened with close attention aa Mias
C— called it the eleventh, ami
bode them think often of the Ba-
vioor’s law of love.
“Frank Turner has turoi-d over a
new leaf since he left my class,”
observed Mr. Kemp to the superin
tendent a few weeks afteiC “I wish
I knew Mias C—secret for man
aging unruly boys.”
, “1 think it ia a very simple ouc."
said the superintendent. “MiaaC ■■■-

Says that spicy little sheet, the
West Virginia Baptut Record:
One of the greatest dangers that
threatens our Sabbath-school work
and workers, is the tendency to be
come discouraged. It should be
fought against and cast out as one
of the wily tricks of the arch tempter
and deceiver.
In the Various books now pub
lished to aid Sabbath-school work
ers, as well as in tbe speeches at
conventions and institutes, and even
in these columns, a high standard
‘of efficiency is held np. Bnt upon
looking around on your own field,
you see old Deacon Slow standing
right across the Sabbath-school road;
or elder Hard-shell, who needs con
verting so badly, throwing cold
words or icy looks upon you; and
you feel that your church will never
work efficiently in the Sabbath-
school department until God takes
&ese stumbling-blocks out of the
way. Don't be diseouraged, brother
or sister. Good Sabbath schools are
bom little ones, and often poor ones,
and then grow up to efficiency and
strength. So, too, with Sabbath-
school workers. Timy, patience,
prayer, and work, will bring ft ont
all right. Do your doty all tbo
