track, and if you follow, as a little child, the 

 voice that will now guide and direct you, 

 your life will open up and bioaden into new 

 beauties and joys that you never before 

 dreamed of. Be humble and patient. Hold 

 to the idea that " all things work together 

 for good, 1 ' and go on your way. Of course, 

 you have made up those small amounts of 

 money sent you, for which you did not give 

 an adequate equivalent, lie thorough, and 

 do your part well ; leave no duty, even the 

 smallest and most insignificant, undone, 

 though it takes the very biead out of your 

 mouth to do it. Trust God. not your weak, 

 feeble efforts, and in due time you shall reap 

 a harvest, if you faint not. Certainly we 

 will pray for you. 



Friend Nov'ce : You will perhaps think it a little 

 Strang 1 !' that 1 should let njy subscription expire for 

 so short a time and then renew. Wt.ll, the reason 

 was just this : 



A friend was in trouble, and could not meet his ob- 

 ligations. I believed him to be an honest man, and 

 a true and faithful Christian, as he was an earnest 

 Sabbath School worker. He had been my assistant 

 Superintendent for two years, and on account of his 

 professions, perhaps, of Christianity, 1 trusted him, 

 and gave him the little help that my name afforded, 

 assisted him out of trouble, and felt glad that 1 was 

 able to do so. To-day be is in the Black Hil s, and I 

 have had to pay his obligations. This has crippled 

 me for a time financially, but the worst to me is the 

 stain on his Christian character, and the bainful ef- 

 fect it has on the community which he has left; and 

 I will admit that the struggle to pay his obligations 

 has not been as hard as the struggle to retain my 

 faith in my fellow-Christians. O, why w ill a profess- 

 ed Christian so conduct himself, as to do a lasting 

 harm to Christianity ? But the struggle is over; 

 his debts are paid with mj* hard earnings ; and I can 

 truly pray that God will bless and prosper him in 

 his far off home. W. L. K. 



Well and nobly done, friend K. Your friend 

 probably made some foolish investment, and 

 then yielded to the temptation to flee from 

 his difficulties, rather than to stand his 

 ground and face them like a man. In all 

 probability, he is even now full of resolutions 

 to pay every cent, but past experience teach- 

 es that after a man has once shirked respon- 

 sibilities, as he has done, he seldom holds on 

 to his good resolutions, even if he gets the 

 means. There is no disguising the fact, that 

 such cases are damaging to the cause, but 

 while they do occur now and then, I must 

 think they are not very common. While 1 

 have known quite a number to run off to 

 avoid their debts, I have never personally 

 known one to do so, who was a faithful and 

 consistent Christian worker. 



A word before closing from our friends 

 who trusted bod: 



Am cheerful and happy; will write you particu- 

 lars. v\ m. Oldkoyd. Columbus, O., Match, 27, 1830. 



Dear friend Boot:— We feel so thankful, but we 

 can never tell it in words. My husbmid wrote to Mr 



of thanking him for his great kindness; 



it came through God's help and yours. What a kind 

 letter from Mrs. A., and to think God has raised xis 

 up such friends. Mrs. G. 8. B. March, 29, 1880. 



Mr. is the man by whom God sent me 



the $500! His messenger, truly.

Under this head will be inserted free of charge, 

 the names of all those having honey to sell, as well 

 as those wanting to buy. Please mention how 

 much, what kind, and prices, as far as possible. 

 As a general thing, I would not advise you to send 

 your honey away, to be sold on commission. If 

 near home, where you can look after it, it is often 

 a very good way. By all means, develop your home 

 market. For 25cts., we can furnish little boards 

 to hang up in your door yard, with the words "Honey 

 for Sale" neatly painted. If wanted by mail, 10c. 

 extra for postage. Boards saying "Bees and Queens 

 for Sale," same price.
