he determined to cast himself upon their mer-

that the account was published, and asked

that he might go with him to the outside OF

been the companion Of robbers and mnrderers
for years-has faithfully rebuked them, but
has never received any harm. He has met
organized bands of thieves, by appointment
in secret places, for the purpose of remonstra-
ting with them On their life of sin. His plan
is to befriend them first, and talk TO them aE-
forwards. Is one of their number sick l-he

How 10 move the World.

One day a philosopher came 10 Athens,
from "A far country, to learn the ways OF the
wonderful Greeks, and perhaps TO teach them
the great lore he treasured in his heart. The
wise men heard him; sought his company in
the gardens; talked with him in private. The
young men loved him. He passed for a
wonder with that wonder-loving people. A.
mong those that followed him, was the son
of Sophroniscus, an ill-favored young man,
a mechanic OF humble rank. He was one of
the few who understood the dark, Oriental
doctrines of the Sage. when he spoke Of God,
Man, Freedom, Goodness, Of the Life that
never dies. The young man saw these doc
trines were pregnant with actions, and would
one day work a Revolution in The affairs Of
men disenheriting many an ancient sin now
held legitimate.
SO he said to himself, when he saw a man
rich or famous.-Oh that | also were rich,
and famous, | would move the world as soon.
Here are sins TO be plucked up and truths to
be planted. Oh that | could do it all, |
would mend the world right soon. Yet he
did nothing but wait for Wealth and Fame.
One day the Sage heard him complain with
himself, and said, Young man, thou spea-
kest as silly women. The Gospel Of God,
II VII IOI dli' LeL MN UHb UOtfd more INC
,'rorlb first more h,mseJ. He that would do
good to men begins with what tools God
gives him, and gets more as the world gets
on. 1t asks neither wealth nor Fame, to
live a noble life al the end Of thy lane in Ath-
ems. Make thy Light Thy Life; thy Thought,
Action; others will come round. Thou as
kest a place 10 stand on hereafter, and move
the world. Foolish young man take i, where
thou standeSt, and begin now. So the work
shall 90 forward. Reform thy little self, and
thou hast begun TO reform the world. Fear
not thy work shall die
The youth took the hint; reformed himself
OF his coarseness, his sneers, of all meanness
that was in him. His Idea became his Life
and that blameless and lovely. His Truth
passed into the public mind as the sun int
the air. His influence passes like morning
from continent TO continent, and the rich ant
the poor are blessed by the light and warm
