Wise Sayings.

soul prosperity.
"lF it be possible, as much as lieth
in you, live peaceably with all men. y
LIVE by the day; you will have daily
trials, and strength according; leave 70.
morrow to the Lord.
Mediate long, mediate humbly, on
what it is to have a Creator, and com.
fort will come at last, If broad day.
light should never be yours on, this side
the grave, He will hold your feet in the
twilight that they shall not stumble,
and at last, with all the more love, and
all the more speed as we'll, He will fold
you to his bosom, who is himself the
Light Eternal.--F. W. Faber,
FORGET self. Think nothing what.
ever Of shining. The sun does not
shine because it has u will for il; no
more does man or woman. Even the
moon, which shines with only q Dor.
rOwed light, has no thought about it.
but only lets her unoriginal beams play
off their gtistening into what quarter
they will. And so it is universally,
both in the original and the unorigjnsl,
the first and second-rate characterA
Their real merit is tho unconscious

nothing so refreshing in this world Of
Alterations rs the natural, instudied
revelation, whether of goodness Of
beauty, or genius. Horace BUSHNELL
THAT love which the Bible calls
charity is not q mere matter Of feeling.
It is spirit and purpose Of Kindness
toward others. Our surface feelings
are not wholly within our conttol; but
for our inner purpose we atc directly
responsible. Hence it is, tiIsl charity
or Christian love toward all-b ,
plain duty. We have no right, not to
love the unlovely. There IS no being
right and doing right without being
loving and showing love, in ell our ID
tercourse with al. As Sir Thomas
Browne puts it: "Moses broke tho
tables without breaking the law. but
where charity is broke the law ITSELF y
shattered. which cannot be whole WITH
out love that is the fulfilling Oft" u.
indeed, We are compelled to admit thss
we are not charitable mot loving where
it is hard to love-let us recognize tae
