A BEAUTIFUL LEGEND. We find
in sermon Of Theodore Parker the
following Story. The subject Of his
discourse was rest"
They tell story that one day Rab-
bi Judah and his brethren, the seven
pillars of wisdom, sat in the court of
the temple, one fast day, disputing
about rest. One said it was to have
attained sufficient wealth. vet without
sin. The second said that il was fame
and the praise Of all men. The third
that it was possession Of power to rule
the State. The fourth that it consist
ed only of happy home. The fifth,
that it must be only in the old age of
one who is powerful, rich. famous, sur
rounded by children and children's
children. Tie sixth said that all were
vain, unless man kept all the ritual
of Moses-And Rabbi Judah, the VEN
cradle, the tallest of the brothers said:
Ye have spoken wisely, but one
thing is more necessary. He only can
find rest who to all things addeth this
that he keep the traditions of the
elders.
There sat in the court fair haired
boy, playing with lilies in his lap;
hearing the talk he dropped them in
astonishment from his hands and look
ed up-that boy Of twelye-and said:
Nay, nay, fathers, he only can find
rest who loves his brother as himself,
and God with his whole heart and soul.
He is greater than fame, wealth and
power; happier than happy home
without it; better than honored age; he
is law to himself, above all tradition.
The doctors were astonished. They
said:
when Christ cometh shall he tell US
greater things!' And they thanked
God, for they said-The old men are
not always wise. Yet God be praised
that out of the mouth of that young
sucking has His praise become per-
fected.

dote is told of the Bishop of Exeter,
England. The scene in a church in
Troquay; the Bishop is present, but
not officiating, and he sits with the

exclaiming, "Damnation!" The whole
church is startled. But il is not a FRO

of the Bishop in rebuke of the officia-

until the water became black with mud,
and he came out with his own COLOR
Then the Great Spirit laid before them
three packages, and out of pity for his
misfortune in color he gave the blackmnu
the first choice. He took hold of oact
of the packages, and having felt the
weight choose The heaviest, the copper
colored man then chose the ext heaviest

the packages were opened, the first was
found to contain spades. hoe1 and oil the
