Trust One Another.


Look into your brothers eye. man
And bid him read your own;
One hall the strife Of human life
Is born of guile alone!
Deceit creates full half our hates,
And half our love it slays;
Look in each others eyes, men,
And meet each others gaze.
Pardon your broth RS faults, man.
And ask that he forgive;
Gould human sin no pardon win,
No mortal soul might live.
No need Of Heaven were none forgiven
For none would reach its doors;
Pardon your brothers faults, man,
And BID him pardon yours.
Feel for your brothers grief, man,
No peart is safe from woe,
Though lips and eyes full oft deny
The sorrowlng weight below.
A gentle vile, a plying sm;le,
May sweetest balm impart;
Feel Tor your bIother's grief, man,
And you may win his heart.
Stand by your brothers side, man,
And bid him clasp your hanG;
To him be just. and yield the trust
That you frou. him demand.
How simply wise. with soul and eyes.
To trust and still be true
g.. 10 those we love, man,
What We would have them do.

..Soon after Chief Justice Chase assumed
the gubernatorial chair in Ohio he issued
his proclamation appointing Thanksgiv

the governor composed his proclamation
almost entirely Of passages from The Bible
which he did not designate as quotations,
presuming that every one would recognize
them and mire the fitness of the words
as well as his taste in their selection. The
proclamation meeting the eye Of a Demo
cratic editor, he pounced at once upon il.

take his oath that 1t was downright

Though Moody and sankey are believ.
ers in hell, they make hardly any use OF
its terrors, and rarely ever refer to it.
Many of the other famous revivalis's
have made it prominent feature of their
preaching, if not the chief means OF IL
fiuencing sinners. Elder Knapp thun-
dered arounh it until the echoes of his
voice struck terror into the hearts Of the
wicked. The Rev c. Finney stood BY
its brink, rigorous and unsparlne, point
ing his finger down to the bottomless
abyss, and sternly warning his hearers
against the Divine wrath which held its
penal,ies in reserve Tor the unrepen tat.

power on hardened conscience. Every
body knows the extent to which hat
power is ottentimes displayed at Modern
Methodist camp meetings. Perhaps
Moody and Sankey, in their revival ex-
n. riences, have found themselves able to
work effectively upon the human mind
by other means. Perhaps they may re
sort to it yet before they ge, through
