THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. | CHRISTIAN, ENDEAVOR. Evidently this homespun small person belonged to the class of women in whom sex and pride are forever united as one thing, whose senses of femininity and dignity are one. To have her heart's blood thus torn rank and successful traitor to her heart's secret—it struck me as a small tragedy. After she had goue 1 lay deep cuddled in my clean, fresh feathered bed, watching the firelight flicker on the big polished cherry knobs of my four post bedstead, trying to see the case in the humorous light which I felt it should by rights present. But. no; the humor was there certainly, bat my mind steadfastly refused to be amused, and I slipped into sleep with a weird confusion in my dreams between Patsy knitting steadfastly by the fire and the sweet ringing notes of the fatal horn in "Hernani." I expressed myself quite sincerely in what 1 said. My interpretation of the situation was based principally on the absence of any shade of real mortification in little Patsy's pretty confusion and alarm; the alarm was shown in anxious glances at Elmore and had reference to himself alone. She turned her face, glowing and dewy, up to me, and then buried it on my shoulder in the prettiest way. LESSON XI, THIRD QUARTER, INTER- Toplc For the Week Beginning Sep*. 10—Comment by Rev. 8. H.

Ton see 1 hate the girl—Lena, child, put your foot on that spark—but you don't have to stretch the truth to find plenty to say against her. She'd been flirting with Tom, Dick and Harry ever since she was 15. Her looks turned her mammy's bead to begin with. She'd been engaged to half a dozen, more or less, but some way she didn't get married. At last Elmore was put on the list. He was bedazzled with the idea of marrying Edith Penkerman. He didn't know enough, poor fool, to understand that other men looked upon her as being too much of a belle. She and her mother thought, I reckon, that she might do worse. So they kept him in reserve. NATIONAL SERIES, SEPT. 10. II. P. Ufford, writing in The Century of "Out of Doors In Colorado," describes the mountain rat as the only plague worse than the Canadian jay, popularly known as the "camp robber." Of the rat he says: Mountain Rata In Colorado. We settled upon a cheap country "academy" in an adjoining county, where I tl.onght she would be as little discounted as anywhere and where the head teacher was an acquaintance of mine, whom I hoped to stir up to a little special sympathy and interest.

A study of his training, character and life will prove the wisdom of the selection of Timothy as an early endeavorer. Be was born at Lystra or Derbe. His father was a Greek and probably died when Timothy was a babe. His mother was a Jewess named Ennice, and her mother was named Lois. The care and training of Timothy devolved npon his Rev. D. M. Stearna. This fierce rodent is nearly twice the size of the Norway species and is always ready for a fight. Besides his bellicose propensities he is an arrant thief. The miners have a saying that he will steal anything but a redliot stove. He does not steal to satisfy hunger alone. He appears to be a kleptomaniac. Provoked by the depredations of one old graybeard who haunted our cabin, I one day assisted In harrying his castle, where I found the following articles; Pour candles, 1 partly burned, 3 Intact; 2 spoons, 1 knife, 2 forks, 27 nails, all sizes; 1 box of pills, 1 coffeepot lid, 1 tin cup, 2 pairs of socks, 3 handkerchiefs, 1 bottle of Ink, 3 empty phials, 1 stick of giant powder with 10 feet of fuse, beans, rlae and dried apples galore. [Copyright, 1899, by D. M. Stearns.] 1. "In the seventh month, In the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the Liord by the prophet Haggai, saying." Our last lesson said that the enemies of God and of the Jews caused the work on the temple to cease till the second year of Darius, but that then God raied up Haggai and Zechariah to encourage the people to resume the work (Ea. iv, 24; v, 1). It is also written in Ez. v, 6, that although the enemies again sought to cause the work to cease the eye of their God was upon the Jews, and this time He did not suffer the enemies to triumph. Iirthis short prophecy of 88 verses the expressions, Thus saith the Lord, or The word of the Lord came, or their equivalent, are found 25 times, marvelous ly emphasizing the truth that this is all the Lord's doing. Elmore looked dubiously and with some bewilderment at me and then with a gleam of something like spontaneous tenderness at her. These occasional notes of sincerity in the midst of his unconscious artificiality always particularly aggravated my feeling against him. they so interfered with a ready comprehensible summing up of him. A man of straw it is easy enough to consider, but a man of straw with organs, pasfions, affections—this is what tests the knowledge of human nature.Patsy returned home that afternoon, riding behind her father, as she came, but she repeated her visit several times during the summer. That season had now sunk into the position of a mere forerunner to the antamn when school began. I had a beautiful time overseeing her dresses and making her look pretty. She was a very superior sort of doll. Once she staid all night at oar it was 8 o'clock on a cold wasnea, clear cut. sun bathed October morning when my mother and 1 climbed into the second best baggy behind old white Telly for a 20 mile drive "op the country."

His training was therefore decidedly Jewish when Paul and Barnabas were in Lycaonia (Acts xiv, 6). Timothy and his mother received the gospel with "unfeigned faith." Seven years later, when Paul retnnaad and Timothy had grown to yonng manhood, he was set apart to the work of an evangelist He then became a companion and colaborer with Panl and was signally consecrated and devoted. Later be was stationed at Epbesns to check the heresies and licentiousness of the Ephesian church. Tradition says She was a brave little maid and as full of skilled duplicity as a mother bird, bat nature played her a cruel trick, and aa on the last «he lifted her eyes from a tronble«oi».'\- it itch ia her twitting a tidal wave of a blnsh drowned her. I bent sttMiously over the shoe I was unbuttoning and said yea; that Elmore was stndying law with my uncle, Judge Kilbreith, and that he did this and wore that and intended the other, all in the most incidental man- Naturally the next morning the whole matter looked very commonplace. Only Patsy's fresh and gentle loveliueas, aa she came in with a backet of Sflfring water, saved me from so reacting on my own emotions as faintly to detest her; so much are we ourselves akin to the capricious powers we rail against. But I melted completely when she stood gazing at me ailently and wistfully ae I pat the last touches to my toilet while old Telegraph and the baggy awaited as at the door. All the yearning and wonder abont the great world of Strathboro, all my fascination as its representative, and more still as a kinswoman of Elmore's, were expressed in her serious, fine little face. t Naturally I took myself and the discreet Tige away as soon as I could That evening, as the stars were coming out, I went and stood beside Elmore at the lonely old gate under the holly tree. A wbippoorwill was calling in the woods close by. 2. "Speak now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Josedach, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying." It was not for Haggal to ask, How will they receive it? or, What will they think of me? He had only to preach the preaching that God bade him (Jonah Ui, 8) and trust Qod, who gave him the message to manage His own affairs. It would be well for all preachers to act thus: Receive the message from God, deliver it In Hip name in the power of the Spirit and be sure that it will not return to Him void, but accomplish His pleasure and prosper in that whereto He sends it (Isa. lv, 11). This would give great quietness in service because of confidence in God (Isa. ttt IB; ixxii, 17). 3. "Who is left among you that saw bhis house in her first glory and how do ye jee it now? Is it not in your eyes in oomjarison of it as nothing?" The contrast between the first temple and the present condition of things was so great that the ilders who had seen the first house could lot refrain from weeping (Ez. M, 18, !3). Things did look very discouraging, ind when we look only at what our eyes lee we will be very apt to be either overmuch puffed up or cast down. It Is only is we see God alone and believe His word, ■egardless of feelings or ciroumstanoes, hat we can ever be established and not Li»couraged (II Chron. xx, 20; Isa. vii, 9; lom. lv, 10-21). His spirit of mischief is as strong as his passion for stealing, and the honest miner solemnly avers that If you leave open a bag of beans and one of rice he will not rest till he has made a clean transfer of all the beans to the rice bag and vice versa. I know that more than once he has, during the night, filled ?Dne or both of my boots with the cones of the spruce tree.

The country we traversed had for our aaetbetic interests the advantage of being poor fend sparsely settled. As we went on it became still rougher and lonelier. When the sun set behind us, we were at a fork in the road, in tbe fullest uncertainty as to our proper route and with the last house three miles behind ub. "Though I can't see any good reason for it." I began. "I feel dreadfullyguilty aboat disturbing you today." "Don't shake ycrar head at me, Mr. Kilbraith; yon know I'm qnoting your own words. Well, they kept the engagement mighty secret—gave Elmore gome rosewater reason, yon know. When he died, lo and behold, they were more anxious to keep it quiet than ever, and in less than a year she married this Tom McGrath, who was hanging round heralT the time and is a better match than Elmore was. See? I didn't care so tremendous much about Elmore; 'tisn't that, bnt that kind of a female creature, the smooth, pretty, plansible ones—Lord!" In what did Timothy resemble a Junior Endeavorert 1. Timothy's religions training began in his childhood. That Timothy might stand steadfast in the faith amid the heresies of Ephesas Paul reminded him that "from a babe thon hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to nake thee wise unto salvation, through in He turned with an uneasy look around and a softly whispered "Sh-h-h-hl" To me it was anything but an anticlimax when she touched with reverent finger my jacket and half whispered. "Air that the fashion?" "Indeed. Elmore, yon need not be so uncomfortable. 1 need hardly say 1 hope that I shall be very careful not to expose a secret I have found oat in this way. I know that you must be meaning to act for the best. How conld you help it with snch a dear little girl cn guard!" I have heard also of a veracious prospector who, returning from a trip without coffeepot, frying pan and bake oven, accounted for their absence by declaring that the mountain rats had carried them off and emphasized his assertion by shooting through the leg a skeptic who was so injudicious as to doubt the fact. kith which is Christ Jesus." The tanior Endeavorer begins early to be reigiously trained and taught, and the 3oly Scriptures should be his principal religions textbook. He should begin early to commit God's word to memory. 2. Timothy as an early Endeavorer Bad good teachers. Paul speaks of those of whom Timothy had learned his religions truths. Whether the apostle refers to the Holy Spirit, to himself or Timothy's mother and grandmother is a matter of difference of opinion. But Timothy was taught by all. The Holy Ghost tanght him, Paul taught him, and his dear ones taught him.

Before I left I promised to send her patterns of every visible garment I wore. I saw her again sooner than I expected. Indeed there was then little reason to suppose we should meet again. During the week I learned that there was then on the place a negro woman who had been for years Cousin Nancy's servant. Recently she had married one of my uncle's hands and was living in a cabin at the back of the orchard. I made occasion to call upon her. One road, so far a* we con Id see, was as big as tbe other. One led down into a swampy wood that looked in tbe failing light aa if it might be all too fruitful of adventure. The other took ita way over a high, open country and seemed safer and plea Banter, and on this ground we logically chose it. Soon tbe open country ended, and we found ourselves in something worth calling a forest. It grew denser and darker as we advanced. The night was settling down IIhB" "She is one in a million. She has an exquisite nature and a charming, rational, observant mind" ("much as appearances are against her in falling in love with you." I put in mentally), "and her beauty is delightful" Making Weather. We were to stay but a week at Coos- Id Nancy's, and we would then pass over the utmost boundary of her world into that unimagined universe beyond Strathboro. Cousin Nancy's sternly handsome profile grew sterner when I attempted to gossip lightly about our hosts, the Nonlys. Through a long and lonely life she had too conscientiously asserted her class superiority—such as it was—against poverty and a misalliance and an untoward environment to find it practicable to approach the subject of tbe Nonlys in this easy, matter of course, undetining way. Moreover, it appeared that tne Nonlys were in a measure disgraced among their own class. - The emperor of China has some strange duties. One of these is the ordering of the seasons. It is summer In America when the sun warms the earth, and not till then, but in China it is summer when the emperor says it is "But I'm afeared I'm keeptn you up." ' ner. I thought the pleasure of hearing | about him would soonest efface the bit| ter consciousness of the blush. In tnki ing this course I suppressed my own ! sentiments. I am aware bow improbable thl* sounds to the unsentimental observer of country girls, but there was much that was childlike about Patsy. Among other things, she was plastic, like a child. Then, too, if she was from the backwoods, she was also southern, which in this connection means that wide reaching, deep reaching puritanism had played small part in checking her natural instincts of social grace. Elmore's pleased surprise overtopped other feelings for the moment. He bad a great faith in my opinion. Had I not spent a winter in Nasbvillle. besides various unguessable experiences in that dim, unpleasant, but impressive world, "the north t" "La, yes, Miss Leny," said she, after seating me in her splint bottom chair before a riffraff fire. "Miss Patsy's livin; leastwise dat wah my information at las' accoun's. Dey do circalate de repohts dat she ain't long fob die wohl, an 'deed I reckon what she ain't. Mighty funny, Miss Leny, how you come to 'member a little slip ob poah white folksy gal like dat all dis time, gallivantin roun de wohl like you is too. What MisDs Patsy goin to die obf summer. As soon as the emperor declares that summer has come everybody in China puts off winter clothing and arrays himself in summer garb, no matter what his feelings say on the subject. All domestic arrangements are made to suit the season, as proclaimed by the emperor, although they may not suit the individual at all. I detested my cousin Elmore Claymore. He was a curious being, as beautiful as an angel, witb straight, strong features, large, limpid, dark lashed gray eyes, an exquisite smile and a wonderful inexplicable imitation intellect I don't think any one ever quite understood what he was and what he was not, and by the mass of bis acquaintances the sham character of his cerebration was never detected. He made speeches at meetings—election meetings, town meetings, temperance meetings and Snnday school picnics. ▲11 oratorical opportunities were embraced, and bis speeches were full of metaphor and alliteration and were informed with a really splendid temperamental fire—which had nothing whatever to do with his ideas or rather which successfully survived tbeir absence.4. "Yet now be strong O Zerabbabel, saith the Lord, and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, and be strong all ye people of the land, salth the Lord, and work, for I am with yon, salth the Lord of Hosts." A most remarkable verse truly! Three times "salth the Lord" and three times "be strong," because of the Lord's presence. The "yet" with which the verse begins takes us to Hab. iii, 17, 18, where we hear the prophet mying, Though vines, olives, figs, Hooks and herds all fail, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; or to Ps. lxxill, 22, 88, where the writer, though despising himself because he felt like a poor, ignorant beast, said. Nevertheless, I am continually with Thee; Thou hast holden me by my right hand. 5. "According to the word tliat I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remaineth among you ;_fear ye not." Not our faithfulness, | "There are immense tracts like tbia up here in the barrens," said my mother in a voice that assumed the tone of a philosophical statement, bnt which rebellionaly vibrated with a growing uneasiness. "I tbonght back there, when we first got into the woods, that the road looked like an old nnnsed track. I suppose we might drive on so all night" Jnat then there appeared at Telly's head the dark figure of a man. Vagne horror*—thoughts of escaped convicts, desperate negroes—pressed on my brain, "I think she has a fine native intellect," he said finally—he always wanted to talk to me about intellect "But of course before I can marry her she will have to be educated someway, and then my mother would rather see me dead." well as Our acquaintances were told nothing abont her, but tbey, particularly the elders, let her pass with a graciousness born of experience of life in a poor and thinly populated and aristocratic country, where anybody may be akin to anybody and where kinship counts—a state of society similar to that in Scotland, especially the Scotland of the past. I feared, though, that the callow schoolgirls even at Coffee's academy would be less elastic. "La, Miss Leny, she nebah wah no 'count ahtah she went off seekin labnin at dat ah boabdin school.

The nearest approach to the Chinese custom of ordering the seasons Is the practice observed in France in all public buildings. There it is winter on and after Oct. L Fires are then lighted in all government offices, aud the servants exchange their white summer waistcoats for the thicker and darker ones of winter. "Bob Nonly ia a distiller." said Cousin Nancy finally and with a final air. Up to a recent date the temperance sentiments of the south found their chief if not their sole expression in the sooal ostracism of all but the largest and most prosperous of the dealers in spirituous liquors. The thoroughgoing nature of this ban atoned by severity upon the weak for its relaxation in favor of the strong and relieved most minds of any sense of further obligation to the morals of the question.

I was glad to leave him and the falling dews and tbe disconsolate whippoor will and go into tbe firelighted bense, toast toy toes and tell myself that it was not my affair. I saw that Patsy's fate bung on painfully slender chances, and I was young enough to credit my impression Df the aeriousnesa of the issue for her. I resented the way I was disquieting myself on her account. It seems that tbere are changes of fashion in the dress of Chinese women, but they are confined chiefly to the variations of length of the tunic and the wearing or leaving off a skirt The usual garments are trousers, a skirt, and two or three little coats. Spirit (Bom. *▼, 80) is one of our comforts, though not spoken of as much as the love of the FatWr or the Son. There Is boundless comfort in our Lord's assurance, "Because I lire ye shall live also" (John xiv, 10), assuring us that however weak and unworthy in ourselves He is our life, His faithfulness our strength. 6. "For thus saith the Lord of Hosts, Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land." Inverse 91 this shaking is again mentioned. From Joel lii, 16, and Heb. zil, 30, and their contexts we conclude that whatever germin&nt accomplishments these words may already have had the fulfillment of them is yet future and associated with the day of the Lord and the coming of Christ in glory. I think it probable that the "little while" of this verse was that which He referred "Ob. no!

True friendship is born from true character. He or she who is true to self is trne to everybody. Those who prove themselves to be always loyal, always trne, frank and npright toward us, yet kind—not afraid to compliment ns and not afraid to reprove ns for our own good—are what Alcott beautifully terms them, "The leaders of the bosom, being more ourselves that we are, and we compliment oar affections in theirs." Love is the synonym of God, and friendship is so closely akin to it that love clothes it in its own beanty. If we were more earnest in exercising the trne spirit of religion, trne friendship would not be such a rare thing, and be world would be made the brighter and truer. —Julia Teresa Butler in Catholic Uni- Two days later Elmore unexpectedly appeared from Strathboro. I was sitting wrapped in a shawl on the lopsided old porcb steps, watching the sunset between the two holly trees at the paintless old gate. Elmore came riding tip, managing a little flourish of a dramatic entrance even after such a journey. He hitched bis horse at the gate—be missed the luxury and effect titithrowing the reins to one of Judge Kilbraitb's negroes—and came up to me with a smile like an angel's for sweetness and light. The Chinese woman making an afternoon visit takes off her skirt. Just in the way that an English lady would remove her cape.

In talking of ber brothers she said: That night, as I was roasting a sweet potato in the ashes and Elmore was attitudinizing and watching me, I said: My uncle, John Kilbraith, a grimly humorous and somewhat cynical personage, saw through Elmore completely. He waa, I believe, the chief joy of Uncle John's life. To see the impression that be made on people, to watch him sway a crowd with his passionate, sounding swash, to observe his deepening regard for himself, were pleasures which never palled. ple when He was here in humiliation, and the disciples (at least three of them) beheld His glory (John 1, 14), but the temple was not filled with glory, neither did He shake all nations.

"The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of Hosts." They were not therefore to be perplexed about the necessary funds, for He who owns the silver and the gold had ordered the work to be done, and He would provide.

I wondered bow it would be when thie coherent intelligence was brought to bear on Elmore's colossal incoherence on something like equal terms.

Yes, there she stood, in a copperas dyed cotton riding skirt, her white, Sunday sunbonnet fallen back, as she strained her eyes up the wrong path.

In this respect we all need to become as little children. The shams with which our life is filled should be flung away.

You don't think be can go on through actual affairs and be estimated as these schoolgirls estimate him?" My chief occupation this week was going on long, irregular rambles over the rougb, wild country. The loveliest place I found was a little lonely, laurel embowered spot around a moss banked spring, where summer longest tarried. After two visits, of course, I felt that I had created it and that it existed only for me. How far egotism may mislead one I found when I discovered that it was a lovers' try sting place.
