THY BU RDEN.—2
We come out of nothingness into being,
and find ourselves nestled upon tbe bosom
of a mother whose love for us yearns for a
stronger expression than she can bestow—
and under the protection of a father who
would place bis life between us and barm.
It is thus that we come ioto the world.
We shall go out of it alone. We shall try
the realities of tbe unknown companion-
less. Human love can follow us to the
brink, but no further. We shall part with
those we love and trust—shall we meet
with those we love and trust ? or shall we
be stmngers with none to know or recog
nize or care for us ? Here we have shelter
from the sun and from the cold and the
storms—shall we have shelter there ? Let
us provide ourselves under the shadow of
the wings of Him who is the Almighty.
Close to his warm, cherishing heart here,
we shall be so forever. We can be cast
upon no shore where he is not. No stoim
can fall and no wind can blow where that
covert is not nigb. There is no realm
where His friendship is not more cheering
than all human friendships. In no part of
the universe will we be away from the
shelter of our Home, nor away from the
companionship and smile of our loving
Futber, and the cherishing love of our El
der Brother. Let us enter God’s family,
where we are more than welcome—where
our entrance will give joy even to tbe an
gels. There we shalt never be from home,
never shelterless, never coropanionless.
The clasping hands of tbe good-bye here
will only be released that tbe hands of tbe
joyful welcome may be giveD. We snail
take our bauds from the clinging bold, re
luct ant to release us, only that we may lay
them in tbe warm palm of the King. We
shall be pressed to more than a mother’s
bosom. We shall have the strong arm of
our Heavenly Father between usandbartn.
Our infancy in tbe new life will be a con
scious'infancy, our safety a conscious safe
ty* This is what Christ means in calling
to us : “Come unto me all ye that labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest”

One day there fell In great Benares’ temple

A wondrous plate of gold, whereon these
words were writ:
‘To him who loveth best, a gilt from hea

Thereat,
The priests made proclamation: “At the

we will hear

The news
Ran swift as light, and soon from every

Nobles and munahis, hermits, scholars,
holy men,
And all renowned for gracious or for
splendid deeds.
Meanwhile tbe priests in solemn council
sat, and heard
What each had done to merit best the gift
of heaven.
So for a year tbe claimants came and went.
At last,
After a patient weighing of the worth of
all,
The priest bestowed the plate of gold on

complaining, discontented heart. When
once this evil of discontent has entered in
to the soul nothing is right Even the
“angels’ food” was not goed enough for
the murmuiing Israelites, and “the corn of

earth. But when once tbe heart has found

There is peace in believing, and joy in the

CHRIST IN PRAYER.
B B. I.ETSON.
So for another twelvemonth sat the priest
and judged.
Thrice they awarded—thrice did heaven
refuse the gift,
Meanwhile a host of poor maimi d beggars
in the street
Lay all about tbe temple gate, in hope to
move
That love whereby each claimant hoped to
win the gift.
And wi 11 for them it was (if gold be char
ity).
For every pilgrim to the temple gate prais

That love might thus approve itself before
tbe test.
And so the coins rained freely in tbe out

But none of those who gave so much as
turned to look
Into the poor sad eyes of them that begged.
And new
The second year had almost passed, but
Still the plate
Of gold, by whomsoever touched, was turn 1
ed to lead.
At length there came a simpie peasant—
not aware
Of that strange contest for the gitt of God
—to pay
A vow within tbe temple. As be passed
along
Tbe line of shrivelled beggars, all bis soul
was moved
Within him to sweet pity, and the tears
welled up
And trembled to his eyes.
Jesus of Nazareth divine f His
words, works, life, resurrection, and influ
ence over the minds of men answer Yes.
Then why should He pray ? “Need God
pray to God f” “Mystery 1” But He was
human as well as divine. As a man, He,
like ourselves, suffered wants, and even
fears. “Who in the days of his flesh,
wbeu he had offered up prayers and sup
plications with strong crying and tears un
to him that was able to save him from
death, and was heard in that he feard
(Heb. v. 7). Clearly, his humanity pre
aents reasons for his praying. Again, kin
died spirits seek their kind. Christ re
membered “ihe glory which he had with
the Father before the world was.” His
kinship to, and sympathy with, tbe King
explains why be so often shut off Irom his
vision the scenes passing before him, and
hung enraptured on the Father. His very
divinity, then, also explains his pr»ying
But what is prayer f
Pr»yer is the soul’s sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed.
The motion cf a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast
He who desires nothing cannot pray.
Desiring nothing be may mouth words
. but they do not constitute prayer. Intease
desire to do God’s will is prayer. In this
sense CbrLt must have prayed always.
Willy'"t ? Want, fear, sorrow, grati
tude, joy or love may be the hidden foun
tain ot prayer. Prayer may take the form
of conversation and include the facts of
daily life. An example of this is seen in
the “Confc-SBionsof Bt Augustine.” This
great book, iu tbe form of & prayer, re
lates tbe author’s history and presents tbe
most important of his opinions. “But
shall we narrate in prayer things we have
done or events that have transpired about
ub ? Are not all these things known tc
God T Shall We presume to impart infor
mation to tbe Omniscient f”
If Goa’s knowing a thing is n reason why
it should not be presented in prayer, then
Christ was misti.ki n aud no person should
pray for anything! What is there pertain-
taa to our physical, intellectual or spiritual
being, or the worlds in which we live that
is not known to him f Nothing. Then
all that interests us is known to God f
Certainly. Then if things known to him
should not be found in prayer, certainly
people should not pray, for there is noth
ing unknown to him of which or for which
to pray. Jesus is our exemplar. He pray
ed much in secret. WbeD about to euter
into temptation be pr-yd (Matt. xxvi.
3®—41). Before tskiru'mii 'T' oit steps in
life be prayed (Luke vi 12. IS). He was
ntyer too busy to pray (Lt.ke v. 16, 16).
He parted Ibis life praying for friends, foes
and lor himself (John xix. 20, 27; Lake

In a crowded railway train tbe other
day, a bright, pietty girl was tbe olj-Clive
point for all eyes and ears.
She was naturally vivacious, as one
might infer from her merry black eyes and
quick movements; but this was enhanced,
exaggerated to a painful degree by a too
obvious effort.
She talked—no, yon could not call it
talking—she rattled away like a steam en
gine to tbe gentleman beside her, using a
shrill, falsetto tone that pierced the ear
like a knife, and made h< r conversation
perfectly audible to all who might care to
hear; but there was nothing worth hear
ing.
She shrieked her engagements in our
ears, aud the undying regret her c-valiers
were thrown into at her departure from

but he had clinch'd bis teeth and vowed

And why?
“I can show you in a mo

member of the League yetterday
"that the Young Mens Democratic

“The meeting the other night

all elected members. Their names
were enrolled as Tegular members.
That was perfectly right.”
“well wbatelse?”
“There is a constitutional law be
hind all this requiring a majority of
active members to form a quorum.
The membership last night went up to
215, a majority of which is 108.”
“And then what?”

In tbe Case of Loo Hem Bow.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 20.—United
States District Judge Hanford has made
an important interpretation of part of
the Chineee exclusion act, requiring the
deportation of Chinese that come into
this country in violation of the exclu
sion acts. Heretofore all Chinese who
have entered and who have been caught
have been sent to China. Judge Han
ford decides that they sbaU hereafter be
sent to the country from whence they
came. This will send all the Chinamen
who come in here after this, hack to
British Columbia. The case iu which
the judge made the decision was that of
Lee Hem Bow, one of the Chinamen re
cently brought over the line at Sumaa
by Cowboy "Terry,” and over whom
Deputy Sheriff Poor was killed.

Mayor Porce delivered a brief speech of
welcome, and introduced the distin-
tinguished Georgian to the large crowd,

Crisp appropriately responded, and dur

tariff tax the people are paying. His

Mrs. Lease demanded her pay. Baily
paid her the usual local fee of $15, but
refused to pay her expenses. Mrs.
Lease heard that Baily was going out of
Wichita, and she sent her husband
down to the depot to interview him,
Baily was corralled in the crowded
station. Five dollars was demanded of
him, which he refused to pay. "You
are a d d thief." yelled Mr. Lease,
"I want all these people to know that
you are a thief. I’d lick yon for a
nickel. ” Baily was edging towards tbe
door all this time, and said he was
going for a policeman, hut as soon as
he reached the open air he left.
