the surest way to save yourself from
his evil influence Is to try to save

Jesus never avoided contact with the
sinful. 1t was a pharisaic reprOach
against him that he associated with
them. He was not continually stand
ing guard over His purity. but was
always invading the lives Of others
with His holiness "His life was like
an open stream that keeps the see
from flowing up into it by the eager
force with which it flows down.
into the sea. He labored to
make the world pure that He
never even had to try to be pure Him
self. He did not spend His life in try
ing not to do wrong. He was too tull
Of earnest love and longing to do right
to do His Fathers will" And His
life was spotless. We never think Of
questioning His purity because He ate
with publicans and sinners, admitted
Magdalene to His presence and said
to wretched woman at His feet:
Neither do l condemn thee; sin no

Brooks, that as We grow better and
better Christians we shall come so
close up to all the worlds wickedness
that it can not strike us. We shall be
saved from it by our pity for it. We
shall be farther from its contagion tho
closer we come to its needs. This is
the true positiveness of the Christian 8
purity-the real safety OF the loving
and laboring life"
Christ makes men pure by regener.
ating their souls and filling them with
His love. 1t is the expulsive power Of
the affection of supreme love for God
and man that cleanses the soul from
all unrighteousness. 1t is the constant
activity of this love in every good word
and work among wicked men in try
ing to make them pure that keeps the
Divinely cleansed soul pure and I'M

CHARACTER.

Faithfulness and Patience.

Truth and Moral Courage. Forbearance.
Faithfulness and Patience.
Among the great parallels is that Of
the talents. The world is full Of peo-
pie Of mediocre intelligence. Many Of
them are miserable because they have
not the requirements which dazzle the
world and are apt to be ovcr-valued by
it. The estimate ought to be based
upon character, and this the most com.
mOn-place men and women possess in
some sort, as well as the most talented,
and it is this that determines their real
worth. 1t is a misfortune to be unedu-
Gated, but it is limitation affecting
temporal things only. There is no
where in the Bible any intimation that
the intellectual culture of this life sur
wives death; we only hope that 1t
does. The illiterate man is shut out
from aworld of enjoyment, of the mag.
nitude Of whose splendors he can have
no conception. He is like blind man
walking among woods and fields, be-
side lakes and streams, under a sky
changing from dawn to night with
varying beauty, of which he has no
comprehension, and which can not be
adequately described to him. But he
still exerts an influence upon all with
whom he comes in contact within his
narrow circle, precisely as man Of
greater intellectual attainments exerts
an influence upon the wider circle of
which he is the center. His thoughts
are regarded by others, however simple
they may be, and however uncouth
may be the language in which they are
couched. The words of the mother of
Lincoln were seed that brought forth
fruit an hundred fold; the polished and
forcible diction of Madame De Stael
did no more than this. The teachings
of the unlettered pioneers led their
children to right living and right
thinking, which is the aim Of
abstruse philosophers and every system
of theology that has been evolved since
the days Of primitive Christianity.
Truth and moral courage are recogniz.
able in the speech OF any man. howev.
er humble or exalted his position. For.
bearance and faithfulness and patience
have no arbitrary value, and are no,

United States than in the smith who

is made up of monotonous tasks, the

phrases from the Coran, Edwin Arnold
describes Allah sending forth his strong
angel at evening to do two things; ONT

in the pleasure Of great possessions
that it was time for prayer; the othel

Mining Machinery

A young man went out from the
East to the Black Hills to invest in
mining property. On his return his
friends asked him about his purchase.
Il put $4,000 in a NINE" he said,
''bought out the whole thing so as to
have gold mine of my own. ! got it
of some parties who wanted to sell
badly and put the price right down."
"But won't the machinery you will
have to put in to develop it be very
expensive"
'.Not at all. I took a pick that cost
me Sl.75 and crawled down the shaft
and developed the whole lead in about
five minutes. You see they had sailed
it with $40 worth of gold. am in
clined to think, however. myself, that
the machinery it win be necessary
to put in to get out that @15,0 goo will be
