ticket office when burly specimen of

heavy revolver, inquired, 'Is that

replied the manager, in his most urbane
manner, and the man with the shooter
passed in. The next day he called at
the ticket Office again, and laying a
dollar bill OH the window, said. "That

Intolerance.

Any one who cares for the happi-
ness and peace OF his fellow beings
must stand aghast at the fiendish crimes
committed in the name of religion
through intolerance. Intolerance-that
besetting sin of human nature, that
strange, mysterious determination of
the dominant will to compel friends
and contemporaries to accept its belief
in regard to the unknowable.
The fact that union of religious
belief or faith between persons of diff
ferent mental and even physical organ
izations is an utter impossbility, is en-
tirely ignored; and yet two persons
may sit side by side in the same church,
may subscribe to the same articles of
faith, receive instructions from the
same religious teacher for an entire
lifetime, while their mental or spirit
ual conceptions Of Deity may continue
to be as utterly unlike as a Buddhist
and a Transcendentalist and no amount
of calculation will materially effect a
material change. Why? Because one
of these persons is possessed of re-
fined, spiritual, generous nature; the
other is gross, coarse, and selfish. Al
though they may never comprehend
the fact, yet their aspirations, their
conceptions of God, are utterly unlike.
At the same time it is not unlikely
that persons who are members of
churches utterly dissimilar, differ less
in their views than is generally sup
posed. And yet these children Of the
same Father, struggling faithfully to
obey the two supreme cOmmandm ents
love to God, and love to ones neighbor
may 90 through life wounding and
grieving each other, and even causing
pain to little innocent childish hearts
because of some subtle difference in
creeds resulting from early educa
ton.
Those who cling to the letter rather
than the spirit of Christianity, W.
would remind of that searching text
"Unless man have the spirit of Christ
he Is none of His" Remember that
the graciousness of Christ's spirit in
cluded in its love the most radical re
formers of the age i'm which He lived
and let us earnestly endeavOr to haster
the good time when man and woman
shall be judged by their lives rathe
than by the direction of their menta
apprehension of religious subjects. =.

Friendships.

Many friendships are destroyed, not by
any sudden rupture, but by a slow and
gradual falling apart, which goes OH
imperceptibly through long periods,
until every tie is unclasped and hearts
once knit together in holy union find
themselves hopelessly estranged.
mo sudden treason turns
The long accustomed loyalty to hate;
But years bring WEAKNESS for sweet content,
And fondness, daily sustenance of love,
Which use should make tribute easier paid,
First grudged, and then withholden, starves
the heart; re
And though compassion or remorseful thought
Of happy days departed bring again
The ancient tenderness in seeming flood
Not less it ebbs and ebbs till all is bare"
No picture could be sadder than
this, but the saddest thing about it is
its truthfulness and the frequency of
its repetition in actual life. "We are
hopeles ,ly incompatible" said hus-
band, only the other day, speaking of
himself and his wife. Yet only two
years ago they stood at the marriage
altar, as tender, devoted and loving
pair as ever clasped hands in solemn
covenant of wedlock. Perhaps the
fault was mutual. There was an uncon-
scious discontinuance, little by little, of
the old kindly attentions, a slow and
imperceptible cooling of the tender
warmth, gradual loss of the gentle
fondness, until now both hearts mourn
over loves joys as hopelessly departed.
The story is but one of many thousands.
The lesson is that love must have its
daily bread. Friendships must be cul-
tivated with unbroken assiduity. We
