When parents arc exercising their ingenuity in choosing names for their hopeful offspring it rarely oc- curs to them to make sure that the initials do not form some combina- tion for which their children will scarcely "rise up and call them d" in Inter \, For instance, the boy who was given the not unpleasant name of Arthur Stanley Smith and the girl who signs her name Ida Marie I'at- crson will scarcely be proud of their iisp.-ctive initials. A S. S. and I M. P. Some of the combinations which have come under the writer's obser- vation are, to say the least, amus- ing There. is, for instance, a cer- tain well-known temperance advo- cate whose initials are R. V. II., but who very wisely drops the sec- ond letter and is content with one Christian initial; while a man who is constantly appearing in the Am- erican police-courts, charged with being drunk and disorderly, ought, .oioi ding to his initials, drink noth- ing stronger than T.

O.; while 1 th" plaintiff's name w..s Susan, ami he had. with unconscious prevision. addressed by her lover in s, of amorous letters as "my darling , Sue " In another breach of promise cnsc t'.- defendant's initials were s i( dly ominous of the issue of the action. for his nonic was I'crcy Alfred Y , .-ii.d the initials "IV A.

"The wind i.f the 1.. rd" may refer to t he mewago \vhich came to Abram or it may refer to the messenger, the Lord Himself (.John i. 1: Itev. xix. 13.) When we read the word of Cod we niii.st accept the mi-v ages as spe- cially for us This first "f.nr not" takes us t-> the many other similar words in this precious book, among which these have been and are a great help.
