So much may be accomplished by con tinued effoit. and the sunshine habit will become a second nature. Truly the Sunshine society is a great organization,, so free from all trammels, and so far-reaching in its effects. It has been well named. The children too fall so easily into its work. And what bet ter lesson could they learn in the morn ing of life than this of peace and good will, so broad in its altruism. It wo. 9 seem that as the years so by and the children of today become the men and women of the morrow, that a new world may rise from the rains of this— that tin. sin, misery and selfishness may be ban ished by this new element: all improve ment is a matter of education and habit. And habits of benevolence and help fulness to others • formed in childhood must hope for large fruition in the years to "come. You increase discord by admitting its reality, jus; as you increase happiness by dwelling upon the things which make you happy. So, by dwelling* upon and anticipating failure, you invite it, and cause happiness and success to fly from you. » DOING GOOD. . "J_>e cheerful. Give this lonesome world a smile. We stay, at longest, but a little while. Hasten we must, or we shall lose the chance To give the- gentle word, the kindly glance. Be sweet and tender—that is doing-good; It is doing what no other good deed could. If with dead works our lives we live and and close. We make no "desert blossom as the rose.' Oh. dead is any work we're doing here. IJnlightened by a smile or pitying '.ear.'' Every physician knows that we may increase bodily suffering, and even en gender the very diseases we dread, by continually dwelling upon our bodily condition. On the other hand, we may augment our health-power by expelling discordant thought, or any other enemy of health and happiness from the mind, as one would eject a thief from his house. "If all the pity and love untold Could scatter abroad their coins of goh_, There would not be on tire whole earth One hungry heart or one wretched hearth. But oh! if the kind words never, said, Could bloom into flowers and spread and shed ; " - Their sweetness out on the common-air, The breath of heaven would be every where." If you are despondent, downcast, suf fering from melancholy, you have had your mind fixed on gloomy thoughts, and have felt sure that misfortunes were coming to you. You have anticipated failure and disaster so long that your brain is absolutely incapable of giving anything but morbid thoughts. You have dwelt upon the dark side and lived J«0 long in the shadows that your brain Is incapable of producing a bright, helpful mental picture. How can you expect to find success and happiness when . you are going in the opposite direction, con stantly feeding your mind with visions of disaster and failure? Go out and talk good cheer and it will not only make you cheerful but others as well. Look on the bright side. Reflect upon your present blessings— of which every man has many—not upon your past misfortunes—of which all men have some.—Dickens. NOT LOST. The look of sympathy, the gentle word. Spoken so low that only angels heard The secret art of self-sacrifice, Unseen by men, but marked by angel's eyes. These are not lost. The sacred music of a tender strain Wrung from a poet's heart by grief and pain, And chanted timidly with doubt and fear To busy crowds who scarcely pause to bear. It is not lost. The kindly plans devised for others' good So seldom guessed, so little understood, The quiet, steadfast love that strove to win Some wanderer from the woeful ways of sin. They are not lost. Not lost.

The International.Sunday school lesson for March 23, is found in Ephesians v., 31-21. "The golden tex. is the eighteenth verse. The lesson contains various ex hortation to duty and right living. X. "Have no fellowship with the unfruit ful works of darkness." Only as we by faith enter into His love and purposes will we oe delivered from the works of darkless mentioned in various- parts of the Bible. Intemperance, as generally understood, is one of the many works of darkness, but the child of God should be free from all if he would know the joy of being a cmiv of the Lord. : "Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light." The three favored apostles, heavy with sleep on the Mount of Transfigura tion and actually sleeping in Geth semane, show us how the most highly favored believers may be indifferent to the great things of God and how this cry, "Awake thou that sleepest," may ap ply to us all. "See."then, that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil." The revised version has on these two verses either in the text or the margin "Loot therefore carefully how ye walk,' "buy ing up the opportunity." The life of the believer is spoken of as a continual dying to self, an overcoming, a conflict, a race, but in this epistle and elsewhere it is also called "a walk." We are entreated to walk worthy of our vocation, net as other gentiles walk, to walk in love, children of light, to walk worthy of God, who hath called us unto His kingdom and glory. As to buying up the opportuni ties, if we had the zeal of unscrupulous business men, who for their own gain make corners in even the necessaries of life, how much might be accomplished in the servic ; of Christ? If we walked as Christ walked all would be well, but who is sufficient? "Wherefore be ye not unwise, but un derstanding what the will of the Lord is." It is not the will of Gcd that any should perish. When sinners are saved, He desires that they should be holy and so fully yield to Him that they may prove in daily life how good and acceptable and perfect His will is. "Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit." Drunkenness belongs to the unfruitful works of darkness; to be filled with the Spirit is the privilege of every child of light. Wine stimulates and exhilarates unnaturally, but the Holy Spirit stimu lates supernaturally; the cne is for self, the other for God. "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." A drunken man is apt to make himself known by his no:sy talk or ribald song, but a Spirit-filled person, having true melody in his heart, will sing unto the Lord. Each proclaims his master by that which comes from the abundance of his heart. If we would be filled by the Spirit and used by the Spirit,-let us lay up His word diligently in our hearts. "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." How earnest ly we should covet to be filled with the Spirit since He alone can live this holy and beautiful life in us. Since "God is love" and has so loved us, He cannot give us anything that is not love, so we will thank Him for all things if we be lieve this. A story is told of two waiters who accidentally jostled one another, the one thereby spilling some hot water on the other, who meekly replied, "Never mind, it is all in the will." Let us have the will to meet disappointment with right will. "Submitting yourselves one to another. in the fear of God." Some one has said that submission is the highest mission on earth, higher than home or foreign mis sions, and that unless one has learned it he is not fit for missionary service any where. Show our love for God by our love and thought of others. MISSIONS. The Christian Endeavor topic for March is found in the 85th Psalm. In this psalm the writer appeals to God for a continuance of divine favors for his land. "Show us Thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us Thy Salvation." Thus the psalmist acknowledged the presence and favor of God, and thus he prayed for the continuance of His mercy and for the salvation of His land. His heart's desire was for the salvation of his land. With Paul he might have said: "My heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved." The desire for the salvation of one's own land is a worthy and laudable de sire. Christ Himself wept over the city of Jerusalem when He realized that it would not be saved because of its unbe lief. He sent his disciples in the first place to "the lost sheep of the house of Israel." and in His plan for the evangeli zation of the world the apostles were to begin "at Jerusalem and Judea." Paul's heart- yearned for the salvation of his people, and he made it a subject of prayer to God. The scenes of the missionary labors of Peter and James and John were practically entirely among the Jews, their own people. The Jews should want Jerusalem saved, the English should desire the salvation of England, the Germans the salvation of Germany, and the Americans should de sire and pray for the salvation of Amer ica. Our interest in the salvation of our land should net end in desire. We should pray and labor for the realization of this desire. The ancient Jew prayed for the salvation of Israel. Paul's heart's desire and prayer for Israea were that it might be saved. Nor should our de sire end in prayer; it should continue to service. God only can save the land, but God works tnrough means. "Prayer and pains." declared John Eliot, the apostle to the Indians, "through faith in Jesus Christ can accomplish anything."

We see much discussion as ! to what is or what is not permissible tin- i der civilized warfare. My view is that this is a contradiction of terms There can b^; no such thing a3 civilized war fare.

The test of the genuinei.tss of our prayers is service. We .must do as well as ask God to do. We must pay as well as pray. Grayer, pains, payments—these will win our land for Christ. How anxiously we should desire and pray that our land may be won for Christ. God has been favorable unto our land. It is "Immanuel's land" in a" pe culiar sense. But many in it are still un saved—lndians, Mexicans, freedmen, Southern mountain whites and people from all lands of the earth. Let us do our part in winning the land for Christ. EVANGELIZING THE WORLD. „T^ e Epworth league topic for March is round in Jonah i., 1-3, Matthew xxiii., 37-38; Malachi iii., 8-10: .v, ™ori d is to be evangelized. Mat thew, Mark and Luke all tell the same story in different words. All nations are to be discipled, organized and taught the principles which Christ revealed. Men should repent of their sins and find salva tion from them through Christ. i lhe task of preaching and teaching and administering rests on the church. Ihe power to convict, convince, per suade- regenerate and sanctify is with the Holy Spirit alone. He never fails to do His work where the church faith fully does her part. The two must co operate to reach the desired results. In a very true and solemn sense the salva tion of the world depends on the church, although it is equally true that only the Holy Spirit can save men from sin. The truth must te preached by men fired and led of God. By the sim ple means of preaching the truth it has pleased God to save them that be lieve. . h^ has not the world been evangel ized before this time? Well may we ask the question! The answer is a long one and not easy to give or understand fully. r-very age since Pentecost has seen faithful disciples who have lived and .died for the faith, who have done all that inspired souls could do, and yet the work is unfinished. .i,ThiSu'a the league gives special thought to this cause. We call it the cause of missions. it is really the bring ing in and.making rear the kingdom of od , among, men. Special attention Should be given to tracing the historical progress of the extension of the kingdom ,of God since the time of Christ. Spec I reading and study of this subject should .be followed by all members of the league. Special information can be had from -Rev. •., Earl Taylor, 57 Washington street, Chicago. * Among the difficulties in the wav of success have ever been: . 'First—Unfaithful messengers, like Jo nah. , .;.-.'_. Second—Unwilling hearers, like the Jews, who rejected Jesus. •..■>'■• -, Covetous followers- who with hold offerings due the cause of Cod as r ln the days of Malachi.

Palms and willows are placed in many churches on this day, in all the Roman Catholic churches are bles.<>d by the priest and distributed among the peo ple. This day is the' beginning of Holy or Passion week in the Greek, Latin, An glican, Scandinavian and Lutheran churches. This day is. also the anniver sary of the birth, in 1769, of William • Smith, "father of English geology;" 0 Pierre Simon Laplace, in 1749, the grea* .French astronomer; of Gen.

March 25 is the Annunciation, which commemorates the visit of the Angel Ga briel to the Virgin Mary. In England It is called "Lady's Day;" in France, "No tre Dame de Mars." _It was formerly celebrated with great pomp in Rome. No less than thirteen saints figure in the cal endar on this day, including two women, St. Dula and St. Ida, one Irishman, St. Cammon, and" two Englishmen, St. Alf wolf and St. William, the child martyr of Norwich: -• -.->•• - March 26 is a Spanish holiday devoted to tree planting, the occasion being "Fiesta del Arbol," or the "Fete of the Tree." It was instituted in 1896 by Al phonso XIII. School boys who plant trees are taken periodically by teachers to note the progress of their respective trees, and are encouraged to foster tree planting in their } country. It is evidently patterned after oyr "Arbor, day. This Is also the anniversary of the'birth at Wo burn. Mass., in La 3, of Benjamin Thomp son. "Count- Rumford," philosopher and economist. j j ;j 'March 27 is Maundy Thursday, which commemorates the washing by Christ of the feet of His i pies, and the giving of the command | to love one another; hence "dies mandati," Mandate or Maun dy Thursday.-' In former times English kings washed the feet of poor men, equal to the number of years of their age. It is still kept up in Rome by the pope, washing the feet of thirteen priests, sym bolic of the thirteen apostles, including Paul. - ■». = -March 28 is Good Friday, a legal holi day in Alabama; Louisiana, Maryland Pennsylvania and Tennessee. This is a day of solemnity in the Catholic church because it commemoraetes the death of the Savior. It was formerly believed that bread baked on that day and after ward grated into water would cure any ailment. It is the anniversary of the birth, in 1793. of Henry Rowe School craft, American traveler, ethnologist and author; also Orville Dewey, distin guished American Unitarian divine and author.

Assuming thar the Boer army proper contained originally about 22,870 men. averaging in weight 151 pounds, and accepting the ..estimate, of Lloyd George, the pro-Boer member cf parliament, that the war will eventually cost England some £400,000,000, he makes the discovery that the whole of the orig inal Transvaal army might have been weighed out in the scales and barely equaled the weight in gold which will-be required before they are all led into death or captivity.

When they reach the ( age of forty, fifty or sixty they imagine ! that they look like others of the same) age, and that they soon will be useless. 1 unfit for work and unable to perform their wonted duties. As surely as they I think this, it will come true, for thought ' is creative. How many of us can say : with Job, "The thing which I greatly feared is come upon me?" The time will come when children will not be allowed to celebrate their birth day; when they will know that, by think ing themselves young, they will remain young, and that they will cease to grow old when they cease to believe i,{ old age.

According to a medical writer the mem ory does not "fail" (except in loss of all the faculties); it simply gets weak and languid for want of use, just as the physical organs do. People often say, "My memory is failing," when it is real ly as. good as ever if they would give it a chance. :-A word, a date, a name, an Incident comes up. or rather fails to com.- "up, when you want it. Then- seems to be no possible way of remembering it. _"ou make two or three efforts, give up and say, "There's no use; it's gone from me." Nonsense! It hasn't, It is there just -is much as it ever was. only there are a lot of things over it. Keep at work, bring WUapiiii ECCENTRICITIES, BACK OF,SOME.

That which seemed hideous before the whim of a. celebrity and imbued him or her to appear in it. became the" height of fashion Immediately afterward. Thus, the. peaked-toed shoes and boots, the toes of which-were-so long that they had to be chained to the knees of the wearer to give him opportunity to walk with mora- freedom, were invented in the middle ages by Henry Plantagent, Duke of Anjou, to conceal an excrescence which he had on one of Ids feet. Charles VIII., to conceal his ugly legs introduced the long dresses instead of tho short ones previously worn. When Francis I. was wounded on the .head in the battle of Pavla. he had his hair and beard cut off, and immediate!..- aft erward the beards disappeared in France, By following his example, Hen ry VIII. greatly scandalized his old Brit ains. When they expressed their discon tent to the king the latter remarked jok ingly that they seemed to care more for his beard than their heads."
