Supremacy OF Mind.


The greatest thing in the universe is
mind earth, sea, sun, staTs-all mate
rial systems would lack completeness
and meaning, were there no mind to
observe, study and worship the great
Invisible whose will they obey, and
whose glory they declare. Nature is a
theater, disclosing scenes of stipend
Gus interest, but without mind, there
is no spectator, no eye to see, no heart
to feel, no voice to applaud. Nature is
a temple furnished with all the conve>
niences of worship; all the elements to
awaken devotion are there-there IA
dates the Shekinah; but without
mind there is no one to bend the knee,
feel the inspiration, or sound the notes
ofpraise. Moreover, mind is the bright
est mirror of the Godhead. The ema-
nations of reason are more refulgent
rays of the " Father of lights" than
the radiance of all suns. , Conscience
gives more sublime idea of eternal
order than the utmost order of material
forces. The abysses of thought and
! emotion impart deeper impression of
! the eXhaustless fountain of life
than perennial rivers or fathomless
seas. Natures ten thousand cadences
/ give no idea of Divine harmony equal
to that which springs from a soul re-
conciled to itself, and dwelling in the
calm serenity of love.-AnOn.

The Right of Living,

"To love and to labor is the sum of
living; and yet how many think they
live who neither labor nor love-
What gem thought it is, set in this
quaint, old Saxon! The first part of
the sentence is a beautiful text for
ones life, while the other is an equally
sad commentary on the "living' of II
great portion of humanity.
And are not these twain, the loving
and the laboring, the one royal law"
of the Bible, and do they not bring
with them their " own exceeding great
reward?n
We who seek after happiness, behold,
here is the key
The sitting down, folding up ones
hands, and moping away ones life in
vain yearning after affection, will
never do you any good.
Just step out of yourself, and live
for and in others. Go out with a brave
spirit into the world and minister to
the wants of humanity. Everywhere
hearts are reaching out TO you for help;
everywhere bleeding hearts are need
ing the balm of sympathy and tender
ness.
The little children want your smile,
the old people want some comforting
word and the strongest and the best
have their hours of weakness and of
need
So don't sit STILL we pray you, for
this is not living. But whatsoever
your hand tindeth to do, do it with
your might" with a true, honest heart
and purpose and no matter how heavy
may he the darkness of the night
through which you are walking, the
morning will rise, the flowers will
blossom, and the birds sing about you
