Church review . ettered tomor-row. In the day of reckoning the questionswill be as to fidelity. The one-talent man was a coward,and even God condemns a coward. Only they grow better whose goal isbest. Every second-rate workman will beashamed in the great day. There are no circumstances that canprevent a Christians spiritual growth. Souls thrive best in the field ofduty. The books, sermons and speeches ofReverend F. B. Meyer are known al-most all over the world. The man him-self is known and pleasantly re-membered by the many who have at-tended the Conferences at Northfield,Mass. It seems strange that the face ofa man so famous should be so unfa-miliar, however, as it is to thousandsof his admirers. On this page we pre-sent an excellent portrait of Dr. Meyer.

Freedom from excitement is a mat-ter not sufficiently considered. To forcea child into shrieks of laughter, forexample, by grotesque sounds orsights, or by any means, while amus-ing to the unthinking looker-on, isdetrimental to the best interests of thechild.
