The Modern Eliiahs.

1t is not we'll always to look on the shady
side of affairs. There are men who came into
existence under shadow, and the sllaGo w has
logged their lives, and all that is bright and
pure and beautiful takes the sombre hue of
their own fancies Their religion consists in
bemoaning the evils Of the world, in lamentiug
ing all home evils and foreign complications as
''sgns of the times" They are the Eljah's
who retire into the wilderness of their own con-
temptations, saying II, even only, am left"
unconscious that all tie time there are not only
the ''seven thousand who have not bowed the
knee'unto Baal," but that multitudes every
where are obcying the Gospel Aall. They are
the Jonahs sitting under the gour'ls of their
own security, amazed that the judgments of
God do not descend upon q guilty world
These hypochorrlriacs are seldom to be found
among those WHO see its evils And sit by with
folded hands.

Imitation.

God has implanted in every person desire
to be like some other one. We see this dis
position oven in little children. See that boy.
He has got his fathers boots and hat. See him
trying to step in his fathers tracks. See that
little girl Oh the first day Of school. She is eye
ing her teacher; She watches her gait, her
accent, her smiles, her mode of dress. To-
morrow you will see her coming to school ini-
tating that elastic step, with her clothes and
hair all adjusted to correspond with the pat
tern.
This same disposition is by no means less in
grown people. Every person has pattern, q
copy, before his eye which he is endeavoring
to initiate. Hence what we call fashion. pro-
vincialism, style in dress, action or speaking.
There may be apparent exceptions. Some few
try to act like nobody. There may be clowns.

be laid down az fact universal, that evely
person has disposition which leads him al
ways to keep in bis eye some palEern for imi-
tation.
But this disposition, like all others, is very
often abused, perverted. Ii there is anything
bad in the pattern, anything defective: or even
wicked. it will sooner be initiated than good

even to this day I see some Of his students, who
are his admirers, initiating their teacher in none
of his good traits but in that solitary fault.
In the eastern part of Vermont some twenty
five years ago, there was female teacher who
was very amiable, intelligent, pious and of
course quite successful; but-who had just one
fault. and that was her recommendations Of such

And now, since every human being is too
imperfect as pattern for all others; since
