A saa snior was Lijer. Itseeud that
if thero was an honest bono inl his black
body it must bo a very snall one. It
was believed by the Baxters that tho
only things safe from his dishonest bill
wore thoso so large and heavy that they
were beyond his ability to lug off. For
of metal objects, especially if they were
n(l bright, ho had the greatest liking. Mrs.
. Baxter's thinble would disappear, to be
Ir. perhaps found in some odd corner or
oir (e1revic( . Spools of thread wero to bo dis.
of covered poked into the bedding, in the
kindling box, behind tho wash bench,
I0 out of doors under big chips and good
py ness knows whero else.
Part of a palwr of taeks lef t carelessly
about on day attracted Lijor's atten
tion, and ho mado a nuimber of trips be
tween it and the bread spongo that Mrs.
ho Baxter had left on the tablo all ready
I for the oven when a neighbor dropped
in. After the departuro of the caller tho
housewife4astily thrust the bread into
r tho oven without noticing anything un- 1
n usual about it. Uponl getting the loaf at
Is, utpper she was astoiishet to find one ef
etid of it plentifully studuvd with tacks. sc
laijer dearly loved to got at a well
filled pinushion, from which Ie would p]
DO extraet the pins onio by one and thrust a
them into stiio convenient receptacle.

Po
an
N e'. Moody, at one of his recent meet- du
g. in Now York, road the story of re
'l'i Good Samaritan," and then yo
id : In
It's a good thing to take a parable sh
1e this and look it straight in the in
ce. Who is our neighbor ? I don't
ink we need anyone to explain that. 1i4
's pretty plain, but somni of us havo elh
en t pretty long finding it out, and m1
tiot of us haven't found out yet. G<
Mlany a man has come to New York th
id been shipwrecked and fallen ht
nongst thieves. Sonetimies they hi
tve killed him as they did that wi
utie man from Colorado the other -
v, but more often they have only
unded him. 1 regret to say that
cre are many so-called Christians
ho will see a man in distress and won't
!1p him because he doesn't belong to
eir parish. Somo ministers ario the
inc WIay.
'Tle tirouble With such is that their
ligion is all up in their head; it never
ruck into their hearts at all. They -
tive the big head and the little heart..
>ts of men are head heavy. They''d r
)ple over backwards if they stood up L
o straight.
In the parable, the first man that
Amc along was the priest. He was
robably (in his way to hold soei ser
ice at the Tmmple. When he saw the L
ounded man lie pr'obably said: "That Xi
an is badly hurt, but 1 can't stop) to Xi
ttend to him for he i'm no. in my Xi
arish. If he were i'd certainly come _i
him as soon as I had seen the comn
mittee ab~out it." And lie passed on.
p)ity these men wvho are aliways wait.- v9
ag for a comm iittee to appoi nt them. .
Seine years ago, thiere: wa, a rfan in & F
his town who lived niear' the :;,,um, .
Ii ver, andl in the a fte rno'on of a e',in ';
'inter's day he heard a mani canin I a

he mar. cry over and oiver again, noad L
tid nothing to heilp himii, but let, hir,,
iown. Thel next day the people leaitr A
d abouit it, anil the y driove th at cr' iu , A
war'tlets man out, of t.own.
That was right, wasn't it?
Oh, it was? Then look at yourselves -
nd sec what you aie (doing. Ar'e you g
wct doong wvorse than he dId in letting
,bat fellow drown? All around you in
oew York cries for help are being i
weaird, atnd you are passing by on the 11
Youi say when you see a man in dis- -
ress, "' Oh, how I pity hi."'
I wvotuld1n't give the snap of my fingeir*
rotr the pity that does not help him to
get upl again. U
Th~e niext one that camne along the
-oatd wvas the L'evite. HeI was a sortof n
3hiurch warden, a steward. The weound- S
ad mlan lay about one hundred yards
twaty wvhen the Levite sawv him. H-li
had another turn of mind. He said :
it,'s dreadful that a man can't take a
implec little jouirney in broad daylight
without beirg molested by robbers. 0
When [ get, back to the city I'll set
LPilate and have an act p~assed by the
logislature to app~oint a committee to
guard the reads, and very likely my
name wvill be putat the head of it. It's
a great shatme." And he passed on. -
Ther'e's a Chi'istianity of works as
wvell ats of words. Words are cheap. We
can get carloads of fine sermons, but
what we want is ser'mons with hands
ahd feet on them. Enough beautiful
sermons0i1 are preaC ched to convei't the
whole city.
The next person that came along was
the Satmtiitan. I can see his cheerful
emniling face as he stooped to help the
.sulfer'ing man and bathe his wvounds
''I remir, oil in them. Somne cai'iy oil
