the . Christian Era, much of what is
now a sandy desert, was fertile and
cultivated, Wind and storm have
moved the sand northward, till a vast
and increasing area has become a bar
ren wa-ti.
What has become of those good reso
lutions? Buried under the advancing
sand of the Desert world. What has
become of the person who but the
other day, intent ui-on a true life which
takes in two worlds, was vigorously
climbing its star paved way? Is it
a case of burial under a sand dune?

A SUM.
He fat in the corner smoking his
pipe ane looking with evident pleasure
upon his little Jimmy busy working
out sums on his slate, for Jimmy went
to the public school and was rapidly
improving. He gave Jimmy a sum to
work out. “How much profit did your
brother Ben get out of those three five
hundred pound bags of cotton, sold at
10c. deducting 30 per cent for cost o(
production?” The boy delighted bis
father by promptly and correctly work
ing it out. Now Jimmy I found a sum
the other day in my Bible, which I
want you to work out. “What shall it
profit a man, if he shall gain the whole
world tnd lose his own soul; or what
shall a man give in exchange for his
soul?"
