SUNDAY REFLECTIONS,

woman ls seldom merciful to man
who is timid.
Three things to like-cordiality, good
humor, and mirthfulness.
To be Indifferent whether we embrace
falsehood or truth is the great road to
error.
Regard no vice so small that thou
msyest brook it, no virtue so small that
thou mayest overlook it.
As reasonably expect oaks from q
mushroom bed as great and durable
profits from small and hasty efforts.
Bear with each others faults. Love
one another and help one another. Pity
each other. Bear each others burdens.
Those who are most distrustful of
themselves are the most envious of 9TH
ers; as the most weak and cowardly are
the most revengeful.
He that does not know those things
which are of use and necessary for him
to know. is but an ignorant man, what
ever he may know besides.
Weigh not 30 much what men assert,
as what they prove; remembering that
truth is simple and naked, and needs not
invention to apparel her comeliness.
The noblest spirits are those which
turn to heaven not in the hour of sor.
row, but in that of Joy like the lark,
they wait for the clouds to dlsperse, to
soar up into their native element.
Supineness and effeminance have ruin.
ed more constitutions than were ever
destroyed by excessive labor. Moderate
exercise and toll, 80 for from preiudicing,
strengthens and consolidates the body.
We shall look back with unspeakabIe
sorrow at the jars and discords and the
uncharities of this mortal life, and for
every sweet kindness, for every loving
helpfulness. for every patience, and for
every self.denial or self-sacrifice we shall
lift up thanks to Almighty God.
| That which We are we shall teach, not
voluntarily but inyoluntarily. Thoughts
come into our minds by avenues
which we never left open, and thoughts
60 out of our minds through avenues
which We never voluntarily opened.
Character teaches over our head.
Everything in nature grows either
healthily or unhealthlly; and character
is no exception. It is either expanding
. into new and more lovely forms, or it is
, toueheniDg or hardening into deformity.
1t is either ripening into richness and
sweetness or shrivelling into grabbed
, bitterness.
! Whatever our purpose in life, If it is q
good and true one. We may rest assured
!. we shall promote it best, not by seeking
: for large and important views of it, not
by waiting for the clouds that obscure
it 20 pass wholly away and leave 1t in
!. untempered light, but by cherishine
b every glimpse that is afforded, by discov.
!. ering all that is thus revealed, and by sc
d conducting our actions and our life as to
s embody in practice that which We have
70 realized in conception.
Love the Lord thy God, and thy
nelghbor as thyself, whether he be rag
# shag or whether he be smiling in the
l. very plenltude of wealth and refine
!. ment." Have you heart for humanity
Il Have you soul that goes out for men
Il Are you Christ like? Will you spent
,e yourself for the sake of elevating me1
IT who need to be lifted up? That is ortho
dox. I do net care what the creed is.
it has good creed, that is all the NOR,
felicitous; and, if it has got bad creed
good life cures the bad creed.-H. "
