form this. horror of the day assumes, is
only possible when ones apprehension of
life is false from the beginning. They talk
about ones life being blasted by an uncon-
genial union; of failing thus to accomplish
the purposes Of ones life; of an empty
existence---as if life teeming with duty
could be, by any means, called vacant-as
if career could be blasted by infelicity. or
an existence fail of its true purposes be-
cause of the burden laid upon It! Who
shall limit the purposes of his existence
Who shall flee, coward, from the cross
laid upon him, and declare that he does
well! Surely not he who believes that
giving is gaining; that only he finds his
life who loses it.
The modern world is coming back to the
first principles in the means of attack, the
art OF defence, in the building of ships
bolts, earthworks, fish-shaped hulls-and
IN many other things the newest is the old
est. So in religion, the ''reformersn are
the ancient worship of that God
dess of self and sense and the unselfsh
Christ, as of old, puts these false prophets
to shame.-From the sod Cabinet"

AcTIvrTY.-The doctors will tell you,
and your own observation will confirm it,
that the healthiest men in the world are
men most actively employed. The child's
hymn has it that Satan finds mischief for
idle hands and the CHASTITY goddess of ill
health and disease finds mischief for slug
gish blood and indolent muscles.
Even the mountain lake, for all the cool
fresh wind that continually crisps its dark
surface into tiny waves, grows dull and
stagnates in its inactivity; and that Chris
tian life, which is only pool, shut into its
own broodings, must of necessity stagnate
also.
How different the dull surface of the
standing water, with its mating of heavy
weeds, from the clear musical tide of the
streamlet that rushes by field and wood,
with song and a blessing wherever it
goes.
Activity is essential to healthy life, and
especially to healthy Christian life. The
Christian life is like the bicycle that hurries
along our roads-while it is in motion you
are borne onward safe and upright, but
when it pauses you fall helpless to the
earth. Golden Hours.
