returned to headquarters so hoarse I
«could hardly speak above a whisper.
J had worked 51 hours, taking $112.00
‘worth of orders, and selling $4.00
‘worth of helps, This did not make
ane feel like quitting the work, but I
was anxious to start out the next
week. :
I stayed with the work and the
‘Lord certainly blessed me. Besides
‘the many pleasant experiences I had
in meeting the people, in 339 hours I
‘took orders for $647 worth of books,
sold $21.55 worth of helps; and out
of this I delivered, Bibles and all, a
little better than $500 worth of books.
Dear friends, it was not half as hard
as I had expected to find it. I never
‘had the door shut in my face once,
but most always found the people
ready to listen to what I had to say,
and I was treated very nicely by all.
Once only was I made to understand
‘that my room was more appreciated
than my book or my company, so I
left. But while making my delivery
I called again to see the lady, and I
not only sold her a book, but was in-
vited to stay all night with them. I
always found a place to sleep, and
though it was not always the best, yet
‘the Lord blessed me in all I did.
My least day's work was my first,
only taking $9 worth of orders. My
best day’s work was 12 hours, 16 ex-
hibitions, 16 orders, amounting to $54.
This is how the Lord helped me to
get back to school, And I am sure,
dear fellow-students, that wherever
you are, if you will only trust Him
He will help you to find a way to be
here in school, if it is best for you to
be here.

HIS LIKENESS
There is a story told of a great
sculptor who longed to carve a statue
of Christ. He worked upon a block
of marble for three years and then,
calling a little child, asked whether
she knew who it was.
“No,” said the child, “I don’t know.
It may be some big man; I don’t
know.”
The sculptor knew that he had
failed, and falling cn his knees in sor-
sow, he asked ‘the Lord to help him
try again. .
Years longer he worked and prayed
and prayed, and at last again called a
child to the household. “Do you know
who it is?” he asked her.
She looked upon the marble face
for a moment, and with tears stream-
ing down her own cried out: “It is
the One who said, ‘Come unto me. ”
Then the sculptor knew that he had
caught in his marble something of the
divine likeness he sought for,
If we are Christians, it ought to be
possible for all to see in us some re-
semblance to Christ. They should be
able to point to our patience, our lov-
ingness, our ready forgiveness, our
faithfulness, and say, “That is Christ
in him.”
We could never bring out the like-
ness alone; but if we will let Jesus:
work in us and with us, He will de-
velop it surely, so that, though we
see it not, our friends cannot fail to
recognize His likeness. —Selected,
Simplicity, of all things, is the hard-
est to be copied.—Steele.
WHAT PRESIDENT WILSON SAW
IN A BARBER SHOP
“lI was in a very plebian place,
I was in a barber's shop, sitting in
a chair, when 1 became aware that a
personality had entered the room, a
man who had come quietly in upon
the same errand as myself, and sat
in the next chair to me. Every word
that he uttered, though it was not in
the least didactic, showed a personal
and vital interest in the man who was
serving him; and before I got thro’
with what was being done to me, I
was aware that I had attended an
evangelistic service, because Mr. Moo-
dy was in the next chair. I purpose-
lr lingered in the room after he left,
and noted the singular effect his visit
had upon the barbers in that shop.
They talked in undertones. They did
not know his name, but they knew
that somebody had elevated their
thought. And I felt that I left that
place as I should have left a place of
worship.”
“Youth lives on hope, old age on
memory.”
BUT ONE TRACK
“There are many tracks and
switches in a railroad yard, leading
in various directions, but to the en-
gineer in charge of a train there
is to be but one—the track his train
is to take. No other will take him
to his proper destination. So it should
be with you if you expect to reach
heaven. There is to be but one track,
and it leads toward the grand central
depot of heaven, Follow that one.
You have no time to be trying to take
every other track you may see.”
