Experience is a safe light to, walk by, and he is not a rash man who expects to succeed in future from the same means which have secured it in times past.—- Wendell Phillips. Learn the lesson of your own pain— learn to seek God, not in any single event of past history, but in your own so u l- in the constant verifications of experience in the life of. Christian love.— Mrs. Hum phry Ward. Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other, and scarcely in that f. for it is true, we may give ad vice, but we cannot give »Conduct. Re member this ; they that will not be coun seled cannot be helped. If ydu do not hear reason she will rap you oyer your knuckles^Franklin. Memory is the storehouse |gf expe rience ; but it takes wisdom to profit by what memory stores up. A Rare Postage Stamp Protested by the American Association for the Advancem ent^A theism Our readers are familiar with the A. A. A. .A.,-^American Association for the Advancement of Atheism. Some of their projects sound rather ridiculous to those who haveHaith in God instead of in men. For instance,Lithe A. A. A. A. at tacked by protest the issue of the Valley Forge Sesqui-Centennial postage stamp because jut pictured our first President kneeling in prayer. The American-Euro- pean Fellowship, 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City, has secured from the Madison Square post office in New York City their unsold balance of these stamps and is dis tributing them as souvenirs to contribu tors to their postage fund. The stamp is interesting and valuable as a souvenir, but it has a far greater value as an object les-, son, by which teachers may give their: pupils a rare vision of the reverence to ward God shown by the forefathers of our country. A gift, large or small, to the Postage Fund will bring one or more of these valuable stamps. A free copy of “The European Harvest Field” will also be sent to every one interested in mission work in Russia and the other countries of Europe. Address the American European Fellowship, Room 414-K, 156 Fifth Ave nue, New York City.—Adv. You may not be able to get people to read the Bible, but you can make them read you.

the gentleman said: “My son, why do yon fly the kite when you cannot see?” “Oh,” said the little fellow, with his sightless eyes flashing, “I like to feel the tug up, sir” ; and it is this “tug up” that Chris tians in all ages of the church have felt and that has caused them to rejoice when others have done nothing but sigh and moan. With our hand in the hand of Christ and His life pulsating through ours,, we will learn many, lessons in the experiences we are called to go through. In his' autobiography, S. 'S. McClure says he asked Stevenson how he knew so well the feeling,of extreme fatigue which he describes in his hero in “Kidnapped.” He laughed and said he had been through all that himself; Experience—that is what makes great books. It is the life of men in relation to God that makes the Psalms and many other parts of the Bible so vital today. Jesus said, “We speak that we do know and testify that we have seen.” i I know a minister of very ordin ary scholarly attainments whose expe rience of the things of God is so real and vital that it carries many a sermon to a successful issue. Making all futures fruits of all the past.— Edwin Arnold. Experience is. always sowing the seed of one thing after another— Manilius. What is every year of a wise man's life but a censure or critic o.n the past? The only faith that wears well and holds its color in all Weathers is that which is woven of conviction, and set with the sharp moidant of experience.— Lowell.
