stantly protDpting me to repent and re- 

 form, and make good my shortcomings. 

 The great difference between the Christian 

 and the unbeliever is, in my opinion, this: 

 The Christian is being constantly prompted 

 to repent, and fight down these selfish ten- 

 dencies. The unbeliever may be prompted 

 to a certain extent in the same way by 

 public opinion and things of a like nature; 

 but he^ is not looking constantly to the 

 great Father above, and asking him to re- 

 prove and rebuke him whenever he is going 

 wrong. A beautiful passage in the ISilth 

 Psalm, verses 23 and 24. brings this with 

 wonderful vividness before us: 



" Searcb me. O (iod. and know my heart; try me, 

 and know my thouKhts; and see if there be any 

 wicked way in me, aiid lead me in the way everlast- 

 ing:." 



The matter alluded to in the above has 

 been brought vividly to my mind at this 

 season of the year, because, as usual, we 

 have been obliged to decide what help we 

 shall keep and what we shall let go. Our 

 board of managers have consulted with the 

 foremen of the different departments, and 

 considered which ones we should keep. As 

 a rule, the newer hands are expected to lie 

 off and give place to the older ones; and 

 other things being equal, this is the rule ; 

 but where one of the new hands shows un- 

 usual proficiency, or what is better still, a 

 clean-cut. honest, and conscientious spirit, 

 we often keep such and let the older ones 

 go. In fact there is something inexpress- 

 ibly sad to me, when we are dismissing 

 help in the fall of the year. It comes along 

 in the line of the homely adage. --A new 

 broom sweeps clean.'' 



With the younger ones we can make 

 allowances. I remember one quite small 

 boy who came to help us early in the 

 spring, among the plants. He was so faith- 

 ful, and did so well, and accomplisht so 

 much work in a short time, that I really 

 felt proud of him ; but after a few weeks he 

 seemed to get tired of the monotony of set- 

 ting plants, and did not accomplish as 

 much as he did the first week. So 1 decided 

 I would have to let him go, because he 

 would be looking around to the right or to 

 the left, seeing what somebody else was 

 doing, and paying no attention, compara- 

 tively, to his own work. Finally the boy 

 was wanted in one of the buildings. I told 

 the foreman that the boy had much ability, 

 but he seemed to get tired of his work after 

 a little; but he concluded to try him. For 

 about a week the boy did tip-top. In fact, 

 he was better than some of the older boys. 

 But his zeal seemed to decrease as before, 

 until he was of little use anywhere. Of 

 course. I talkt with him and remonstrated 

 but the good elTect was only temporary. 

 Now. this case we can excuse, berause it 

 was only a boy ; but I think that that boy's 

 mother had better watch carefully, and see 

 to it that this trait does not follow him 

 through life. 



As I have said, we can excuse such things 

 in a child, and many children outgrow 

 them. I know this, for some of the most 

 faithful and capable men and women I 

 have around me had this very fault when 

 they were small. Do you know, friends, it 

 has been a rare pleasure for me through all 

 these years of ■• work and wages " to see 

 boys and girls grow from childhood into 

 manhood and womanhood, and while they 

 grow physically to know that they have 

 grown in grace and wisdom, and in the 

 knowledge of the Lord ! But, even tho it is 

 not a pleasant thing, I must go back. 



I have seen those vi. ho seemed to be so sure 

 (Adisinsof this kind would not find them 

 out that I have been obliged to let them go. 

 Physicians have a list of diseases that are 

 said to be, as a rule, incurable. Now, may 

 God forbid that I should say that there are 

 .m'((,s that are incurable; but sometimes I 

 have been led to feel that it is almost that 

 way. There are people who have been so 

 habituated to cheating their employer that 

 it seems almost as if they never cuulil get 

 over it. My first sad experience in this 

 line happened so long ago that I think I 

 can mention it without hurting anybody's 

 feelings.
