earth, for a new earth greeted you; and so it is when the life, light and energy of the Holy Spirit is let into a man's life; he is still the same creature, formed in the likeness of his Maker, but he is not the same. He is a new man; he has been born again. (Text.)—

NEW FAITHS

When the simple conch is built its tenant adds a larger disk from the material provided in the sea; but after a time "the outgrown shell" is altogether left by "life's unresting sea" and we find that empty shell cast on the shore. When the old temple has become obsolete humanity finds a spiritual home in new faith. (Text.)

NEW, THE

To market old remedies that have gone out of fashion, or fallen into discredit, clever manufacturers give them another name and a new wrapper. Purchasers who go by the label, and they are in the majority, think that they have found a godsend, and take up the concoction eagerly.

One is occasionally tempted to have recourse to such a trick, in the interest of certain old practises, excellent in themselves, but disqualified by abuse.—, "The Gospel of Life."

NEWNESS OF EACH SOUL

Perhaps they laughed at Dante in his youth, Told him that truth Had unappealably been said In the great masterpieces of the dead. Perhaps he listened, and but bowed his head In acquiescent honor, while his heart Held natal tidings: that a new life is the part Of every man that's born— A new life never lived before, And a new expectant art, It is the variations of the morn That are forever, more and more, The single dawning of the single truth: So answers Dante to the heart of youth.

NEWSPAPERS AND MISSIONARY INTELLIGENCE

You can teach the missionary boards and secretaries a little sense as to the news value of missionary items. I know these missionary boards and officials; they are altogether respectable and useful members of society, but they do regard a reporter of the secular press as a nuisance. Of course many of them do not; there are a few here. But they usually say, "No, we have no news to-day." I have been in the office when a representative of a newspaper came in. "Anything new?" "No." And I knew that there was the best sort of a newspaper story right there; but it went into the drawer and stayed there three weeks until the whole matter was sent down to the monthly paper of the Church and buried. Anything that is of human interest is news. A man said to me, "I am going to quit The Globe because it is giving out all this slush of the Torrey-Alexander meetings." We gave from two to five columns a day to those meetings, and that man objected. I said to him, "Put up any sort of a meeting in that hall, and if you will fill that hall, afternoon and evening, I will give you from three to five columns." Those things that have human interest the people want and need.—, "Student Volunteer Movement," 1906.

NIGHT FOR REST

Between the days, the weary days, He drops the darkness and the dew; Over tired eyes his hands he lays, And strength and hope and life renews. Thank God for rest between the days!

Else who could bear the battle stress, Or who withstand the tempest's shocks, Who tread the dreary wilderness Among the pitfalls and the rocks; Came not the night with folded flocks?

The white light scorches and the plain Stretches before us, parched with the heat; But, by and by, the fierce beams wane; And lo! the nightfall, cool and sweet, With dews to bathe our aching feet!
