It is likewise the crown that is to he riven to, the one who ia able to do only I'ttl* things for Christ. So many aeera to think that thev can do bnt little for Christ end therefore leave that little tmdone. This is a most serious error. ‘Tnasmnch aa ye have done it unto the least of these ye liave done it onto Me," said Christ. A eup o( cold water riven in Hi* name, a word of cheer spoken for Hi* glory, a warm handelaap that He may be exalted in tbe opinion of men—t hoc little things win the So many people are aakine: “What can I do to help on tbe cause of Christ, to assist my minister, or to help the chnrch?" If I wtre to suggest one thing that would be most helpful it would be tbe offering of unceasing prayer for tbe spread of Christ’s kingdom, and for the outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon tbe man who preaches Chnat at the tarred desk. I remember very well when I first became pastor of the rmirth to which I now minister. AfI had pree-ltd my first sermon and

. . pree- 'ied my first sermon an e people bad presented themselves 1

«ay words of cheer, sn old man came walking down the aisle, leaning upon hia staifi

because of hi* age, and he said to me:

“I nm afraid yon will make it a failure.”

“Hiil not consider tbit ranch of a word cheer, and heartily wished he could c giren it to me at another time. Then, looking about the chnrch.

added: "We have aiwaya had a man of Urge experience, and the church ia large.” Then lie came nearer and said: “But I have made up my mind to help yon." I wondered in my own mind what be could do. He added: “I have determined to pray for you every dav that you are pastor of this church, and 1 have covenanted

with two other men to pray for you.”

At thia my heart was filled with iov, and I thanked God and took eotmge. feeling confident from tha beginning that He had given me the victory. The three men soon grew to ten. and tbe ten to fifty, and th* fifty to 300. until in these days from “ *» eonaecrated men bow th-ir

The latest Parisian development of ping-pong consists in substituting for the ball a light feather made of collodion. and for the racquets rods or wands electrified by friction. The feather is first thrown into the air between the two players, where it temporarily remains by virtue of its lightness. The game consists in driving it backwards and forwards, not by force, as in ping-pong, bnt by the re-
