THIS Is the grandest petition that man
can lay before the throne OF God when he
prays for his own welfare.
All over the civilized world there are
starving mortals, existing but not living
because not for many a day have thsv
spread out any good food for their souls
Olvillzation is misfortune II II brings
mental power without bringing mental Or
spiritual food. AN Indian or negro in

ohe OF ice old monks, desiring, no

should initiate carefully the attributes Of

implied That man should neverso beiriend

But the palallelism between man and the
noDle brute Is closer than the monk sus.
pected, for man should indeed 90 forth

world OF truth and friendship and duty
aud charity to supply its want. To be
always hungry would be calamity in

Ing, and that as the water goes back to
the sea, and then back to the mountains,
and then down TO the sea again, so man

The spirit is an organic form as well as
the body. II Is spiritual body subject
TO spiritual laws.
A mental or spiritual faculty is spirit
ual organ, In the same sense as a material
faculty is material organ
This analogy between the material anu
the spiritual bodies gives force, distinct,
literal and comprehensive meaning 10
many passages In the sacred scriptures
which have been looked upon as having
vague and doubtful significance Our
Lord says; 81 have meat TO cal
that We know not Of. )" "My meat
is TO do the will OF Him thal
sent me, and to finish His Work
Solomon himself soon passed out OF his
conclusion that all is vanity, ana from a
high clear mountain-top spoke those
grander words; Remember now thy
Creator in the days OF thy youth, lest inc
years come not, nor the days draw nigh,
when thou shalt say, have no pleasure
in them" "Fear Ged and keep ms
commandments, for this is the wholt
duty Of man."
This world is too vast to be measured
by disappointed or sad or weary heart.
