'dRELIGIOUS..

The pleasure Of doing good is the
only oHe that never wears out: 8
y If orr heavenly Father knows what
we have need Of before we ask him,
why ask him? II might suffice 70 re-
ply, Because he bids us. IT might be
safely added that 1--we do not know
everything, and perhaps do not fully
know why he bids us ask. But one
reason we can at least very clearly see.
We do not say that II Is the only 'rea-
son; nor even the chief reason : only
that 1t Is one reason. Though He
knows what we have need of, we do
not. Our asking defines our need I'M
our own minds. We see clearly when
we endeavor to express what before we,
felt vaguely. And knowing our need
prepares us to receive Gods provision
for II. Asking forgiveness enables US
TO accept pardon. Telling the story Of
our sorrows, prepares US TO receive Di,
vine comfort. BY asking we open the
door and let In to our soul Him who Is
q Present Help in every time of trOu-
bile. The sun, Is always shining,
Prayer lifts the curtain, throws back
the blind, and lets the divine glory In.
The great necessity and point of em-;
phasis In all, those that are to teach, in
our households, in our schools and In
our churches, is that they should have
4 disposition such that they speak thep
truth in love--not In wrath; not in,
uncharitableness not In vanity; net
In cold concelt; not In arrogance; not
in bigotry !; but as D mother would
speak to O child whom she loves better
than herself And when men shall SO
speak; when truth spoken with the
impulse or q heart redolent Of love
shall be the characteristic of the whole
Christian church the world around
then the millennium will stand at the
door. Men have been talking about
the truth in conscientiousless, incom-
bativeness, In intellectiOn but we
have never yet had the social force
which would be felt II all communi-
ties at one and the same time, speak
ing the truth, moved forward under
the purifying influence Of divine love-
all churches, all ordinances all doc
trines, and all methods Of procedure
being developed in that atmo sphere.
The art Of, speaking the truth in love-,
has never been known in this world
in its majesty and glory. IT has come
as wandering showers have come; but
1t has never come as q food that swept
the earth of all unrighteousness. 1t
has never come in such q way as to de-
velop the final form of associated kind
ness and benevolence. ' A revival of
that yet we need. "A speaking Of the

when, by an unfortunate investment,
he lost his entire cheap This event
came upon him, it should be added,
Just as he was about to claim his bride.

honorable and chivalrous young fell

the lady every particular Of therun-
happy turn which has taken place in
his fortunes, assuring her that If the
fact produced any change in her feel
ings toward him, she is released from
every promise she has made him.
And what does the DEAR good girl?
Why she takes lump of pure gold
which her lover had sent her in4his
prosperity as keepsake, and having
It manufactured into q ring, forwards
1t to him, with the following Bibleiin-
