MISTAKES OF LIFE.-Somebody |
has condensed the mistakes of life |
and arrived at the consoling
conclusion that there are fourteen |
of them. Most people would say, if |
they told the truth, that there was no
limit to the mistakes of life; that |
they were like drops in the ocean or
the sands of the shore in number I;
that it is we'll to be accurate. Here,
then, are fourteen great mistakes !:
sit is great mistake to set up our
standing of right and wrong and
judge people accordingly; to
measure the enjoyment of others
by our own; to expect uniformity of
opinion in this world to look for
judgment and experience in youth
to endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike; not to yield to immaterial tri-
fies to look for PROJECTIONS in our
own actions; to worry ourselves and
others with what cannot be remedied
not to alleviate as far as in our pow
err; not to make allowance for the in
| frmities of others; to consider every
thing impossible that we cannot per-
form to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp; to expect to be
able to understand everything. The
greatest of mistakes is to live only
for time, when any moment may
launch us into eternity.

The Bible is as faithful a mirror of
the human heart as ever. The ver-
dict of the Bible about that heart is
the truest and justest that could be
pronounced to-day ''deceitful above
all things and desperately wicked"
The sins of the ages are the sins of
the present decade, and Jeremiah
could weep and mourn in the same
strain and with the same language
as he did over the shining people of
Judah. Reason can produce nothing
so sublimely moral as Gods law Civ
en- ON Sinai. Taken literally and in
spirit, men still break that law, and
when conviction comes nothing gives
peace but view of the Crucifed.
When the great reality of Sinai falls
upon the shining soul, the more
blessed reality of Calvary is the only
: offset to it's awful terroIs. To tell
us that the eye of faith has become
the eye of reason, is to repeat the ole
r lie of Eden. The serpent bid oul
first parents give up their faith il
God, and appealed to their reason
t So the eye of faith, which looked OF
the forbidden fruit as a certain deal
er of death, gave place to the eye o
/ reason which saw its apparent beant,
and utility, and said it could no

: the less surely.
