Thoughts for Saturday Night.

Sinful omissions lead to sinful COM
missions.
Good manners are q part Of good
morals.
When not prompted by vanity We say
little.
Spiritual hungerings and thirstings
are satisfied only with spiritual things.
The wool Of life is dark, but it is shot
with warp Of gold.
Nothing 80 soon mars n holiday as
care. 1t is the bunch Of hyssop in our
cup OF joy.
There is chart showing every harbor
in tho sea OF life, 80 that none need be
lost or go astray.
0nr prayer and Gods mercy arc like
two buckets in a well-while ono asccnds
the other dcscends.
am convinced that we have degree
OF delight, and that no small one, in the
real misfortunes and pains OF others.
There are strings in the harp OF every
life, though covered with dust, that give
out music when the wings Of truth stir
the air.
Since | cannot govern my tongue,
thong h within my own teeth, how can I
hope to govern the tongues of others?
To individual faithfulness, and to the
energy OF the private conscience,
God Inns committed the real history and
progress of mankind.
In the man whose childhood has
known gentle caresses, there is fiber Of
memory which Gnu DO touched to gentle
issues.
Be true DO true be true! Show
freely to the world, il not your worst,
yet some trait whereby the worst may
be inferred.
NJ. Theirs said in his recent speech
II military glory is sun which is some.
times yelled with clouds, the glory Of
civilization is q sun which never ceases
to shine.

with their fingers mouthful OF rice,

ciudes the frugal meal; whereupon en-

Bengali's life, the satisfaction Of smok-

Nowhere in the Mohammedan world has
there ever been what we call q national
lite, and nowhere do we find in it's records
any trace OF such an intellectual impulse,
thrilling through ever fiber of the people
and begetting prodigious achievements in
art, poetry and philosophy, as was awaken
ed in Europe in the thirteenth century and
again in the fifteenth Under the peculiar
form of unlimited material and spiritual
despotism exempIfied in the caliphate, a
few men may discover gases or comment on
Aristotle, but NO general movement toward
political progress or philosophical inquiry is
possible. Such society is rigid and in.
organic at bottom, whatever scanty signs of
fexibilty and life it may show 1t the sur
face. There is NO better illustration of this,
when we'll considered, than the fact that
Moorish civilization remained, politically
and inteilsotoallys mere excrescenee in
Spain, after having been fastened down
over half the country for nearly eight CEN
turies.-Zhe Nation.
