SHOW HIM YOUR HANDS
A little daughter of the tenements,
whose mother was done at last with
the work and worry that had killed
her, was left at fourteen years old
with four younger ones to mother aud
nurse. And faithful to her trust, she
scrubbed and washed and cooked and
mended until her slender shoulde s
bent and the thin face grew white,
and, almost before any one noticed
much, the little broken life lay wait
ing for release.
“I haven’t been able to do any
thing ,” she whispered to her favorite
girl friend, who lived just around the
corner. “I couldn’t go to school be
cause of the work or to Sunday school
because it took all father made to
keep the others in clothes. When
the minister came to see me he said
I’d soon see God, but I’m afraid I
haven’t done any thing to say to
Him. And you needn’t try to say
any thing,” said the other, “not a
single word,” kissing the pitiful little
face.”When you see Him looking at
you, you just show him your hands.”
— From Living Water
WHICH ARE YOU?
“There are two kinds of people on earth
to day. just two kinds of people.no more, I say;
Not the rich and poor, for to count a man’s
wealth you must first know the state of his
conscience and health. Not the humble and
proud, for in life’s little span w ho puts on vain
airs is not counted a man. Not the hnpp]
and sad,for the swift-flying year' bring each
man his laughter and each man his tears.
THE NATIONS WITHOUT FIRE
According to Pliny,fire was a long
time unknown to the ancient Egyp
tians; and when Exodus,the great
astronomer showed it to them they
were in rapture. The Persians,
Phoeni ians,Greet sand several other
nations acknowledged that their
ancestors were once without the use
of fire, and ti e Chinese confess the
s line of their progenitors. Pampallion,
Mola, Plutarch and other ancients
speak of nations who, at the time they
wrote, knew not the use of fire.or had
ji|st learned it. Facts of the same kind
aft also attested by several modem
nations. The inhabitants of the Mar
ion Islands, which were discovered in
1851,had no idea of fire.
Never was astonishment greater
than theirs when they saw it on the
desert of Magellan.in one of their is
lands. At first they tliot it was some
kind of an animal that fixed itself to
and fed upon wood. The inhabitants
of the Phillipinc and Canarylslands
were formerly equally as ignorant. -Set
No;two kinds of people on earth I mean
aie the people who lift and the people who
lear, Wherever you go you will find the
world’s masses are always divided in just the
two classes. And oddly enough.you will find,
too, I ween,there is always one lifter to twen
ty who lean/'-.W.
Next issue will be an agreeable
surprise,we hope.
