Alfred the Great, once in hiding, assumed the role of a servant. But when at last he came to his own and resumed hts scepter as king, his benefactors were rewarded for their humble kindness so unwittingly bestowed . There Is a substratum of royal manhood often obscured by ragB or misfortune. A young lieutenant bad seemingly failed In military life, for want of opportunity, and quietly retired to private life, where he as sumed the role of farmer, and ped ler of wood on the streets of St. Louis. When the Civil war came it found tins same man now in mid dle life, in mid-west, utterly un known. For weeks he hung around Springfield unrecognized. Once he hung around McClellan's headquar ters at Cincinnati for 'hree days without even the courtesy of an in terview. But at last he was offered the command of a regiment of raw recruits that none 'other could tame. With that be marched down on Bel mont, on to For'. Donelson, and Fort Henry. From there he marched to Shiloh, and to Vicksburg, and Chattanooga, and the Wilder ness and on to Appomattox, and on to the White House. He marched on through the great capitals of the world, while kings, and princes stood with uncovered heads as he passed. At last be marched up to the City not made with hands while old comrades, and white robed throngs, with captains like MoseB, and Joshua, and Gideon stood as U. S. Grant marched up to a place ; near the blazing Throne and took his seat among the immo-tals! Jesus Christ seemed to find good in humanity when noobdy else could. He was looking for it that is the reason. And that is why he gave (His life for humanity's sake. There was Mary Magdelene, ihe outcast if we are to believe the inferences natural to the 3tory. No one hail ,iny place for her. She had no friends. Jesus came along one day, and caw, her. He saw more than the outward appearance He saw a fountain of disappointed love. He said, "Poor Mary has never had a chance. And so with one touch of divine love He transformed out cast into an angel of mercy. She took her place anion? his first dis ciples, while many of the self-satis-tied never even pot a passing notice. Jesus once sat down on the well j at Sychar, and a woman of Samaria came to draw water. She was a bad I woman, as the people would say. Society bad kicked her out, because her sins had been found out and theirs hail not. Why, you pood wo men would not want to sit in the same pew with her. When she walked down the streets women drew up their skirts, and walked by on the other other. But Jesus didn't care what others said: He spoke kindly to her and stooped to ask a favor of her. And thus from the crystal waters of the historic old well He led her soul up to the foun tains of live-giving water. Wonder ful picture that is. There was Zacheus, the publican. Nobody cared for him. The Jews hated him with a venpeance. They never had a kind word fcr him. They snubbed him on the streets, I they elbowed him in the market plaeM. They said "He is a Jew but," and they kept on till they had butted him clean off the bridge. Poor Zacheus said, "Nothing in it. If that's religion I don't want any of it in mine." But one day Jesus came alonp. He ran Zachaeus up a i tree, and said Zachaeus, I've been ! looking for you. Come down, for I have no place to go for dinner, and j I'm poinp thome with you. Well, he wasn't long in hitting the ground. Bui you ought to have seen those old lone-whiskered Pharasees. My1 They stood back and looked i heir disgust as Jesus walked of side by side with that Publican. But if you could only have seen Zachaeus as they reached the home, and Jesus stepped in. "Here, Master," he Baid, as his wife came to greet him, "This is Jesus of Nazareth, I have brought here for dinner. Master, this is Mrs. Zachaeus. We are just plain folks here, but you are mighty wel come. And she is one or me Desi women on earth. And, here, Mas ter, is my son, Zacnaeus, Junior; ne is going to be a man some day." And as Jesus laid a loving nana up on that boy's head with a divine blessing, Zacbaes lost his cool com- itifojq uoi6sd aeuiAip pun ajnsou every bound, till he said, "Master, I can't stand this any longer, l nave tried to be an unbeliever, and lived only for money, money. But, Mas ter, from this day on you 11 near from me O, wno coma ne prooi against such love. "This day is sal vation come to thiB house. The sneaker told a remarkable story of a notorious sinner and well known, who had not Deen insiae of a church in forty years nor been spoken to by any one in that same city in all that time till he came in to the church in Brocxion, Mass., where the speaker was pastor. The man became an active, and influen tial Christian. Interests on self will only dry up and die. This is the Inevitable outcome and should be. The Primitive Churcn was mis sionary. It could be nothing else with Christ as the founder. Each of the twelve disciples were taught mission work and were drilled among their own people before they were sent to the Gentiles. The Church in Jerusalem was so steeped in missions that when scattered through persecution, they "went everywhere preaching the word." A brief account of apostolic evangel ism is found In the Book of Acts Read this book and see the zeal and activity shown by those early Chris tians. There is a great army of mission ary heroes and heroines led by the Christ. This army consists of the Apostles, the early Christians, many of whom were martyrs, the later Christian workers, the pioneers of modern missions and the present army of consecrated and sacrificing workers of today, many of these are at home and others arc in the mis sion fields. If you desire to learn of "Modern Acts of Apostles" read the splendid accounts of missions in China, Afri ca, India and the Islands of the sea. The long years of seed-sowing and then the bountiful harvests should appeal to every Christian for his prayers and support. Multitudes of heathen are crying for teachers. Many more are professing Christ than the small corps of workers can care for. The world situation confronting the church, should make us hang our heads in shame when we con sider how little we are doing. As some one has said, "wo tare only playing marbles in the work of the Lord." Abroad, the borders must be extended. The call is for more workers and better equipment. If every Christian realized his privi lege, the world would be evangelized in this generation. At home, we not only hear the appeals for foreign missions and for benevolences educa tion and evangelism, but also the spiritual needs of the army and the phyBlclan cry of such unfortunate peoples as the Belgians, Syrians and Armenians. This is the opportunity of the church. It must meet these needs by training new workers and remem bering God with our substance. Then we will be preaching repent- A POTATO BALLAD (From Punch.) Above three hundred years ago To Britain's shores there csme An immigrant of lineage low Sol Tuberose his name. He settled down In mean estate, Despised on every side. Until at last he waxed great, Grew rich and multiplied. Now none so popular as he; To every house he Roes, At every table he must be The great Sol Tuberose! In time of war he provs his worth, He helps us everywhere; There's nothing on (or In) this earth That can with him compare. Not the great George could save the land Except for mighty Sol; For he Is Bread's twin-brother and He gives us Alcohol; Not such as fills the toper's turn, But snch ss fills the shell Such as will be in days to come Heat, light, and power as well Yes, In the spacious days to come We'll bless Sol Tuberose. When all our motor engines hum On what the farmer grows. Then cultivate him all you can, With him and his stand well in; There's one that is a Nobleman, There's one Sir John Lewellyn. There's one that Is a British Queen, There's one a dwarf, Ashleaf, There's one that Is a plain Colleen, There's one an Arran Chief. He'll serve us if we do bim well (Last year he failed our foes).

Self-centered interests are diminu tive. This is true in the home of the church, or in the state. The snoiled child is an example and often should be pitied. The man who spends his money on self and neglects his family deserves all the criticism he receives.
