SILENT INFLUENcE.-We are touch
ing our fellow-beings on all sides. They
are affected for good or evil by what we
are, by what we say and do, even by what
we think and feel May flowers in the
parlor breathe their fragrance through the
atmosphere. We are each of us as silently
saturating the atmosphere about us with
the subtitle aroma Of our character. In the
family circle, besides and beyond all the
teaching, the daily life of each parent and
child mysteriously modifies the life of every
person in the household. The same pro-
cess on wider scale is going on through
the community. No man liveth to himself
and no man dieth to himself Others are
built up and Strengthened by our uncon-
scious deeds and others may be wrenched
out of their places and thrown down by
our unconscious influence CongregG-
hionalist.
