Improper Joking.

We pity the man who does not enjoy
a good joke, and who can neither orig
mate nor submit 10 one without un-
pleasant feeling being caused. There
is nothing in proper jesting which is in
consistent with sobriety of character,
or even with earnest and active piety;
and fun of this sort brightens many
gloomy life and renders it worth more
both to earth and Heaven. But it must
be genuine fun. Any tinge Of bitter
ness in it at once makes it objection
able. Any vulgarity or rowdyism, and
any disposition to get other persons
into scrapes, such as are ludicrous to
the beholders but annoying to the VIC
tins, are only to be condemned. Any
real trifling with truth also must be
banned sternly. When statement or
action contradicts fact only so that the
fact nevertheless is apparent, or even
when the fact is not apparent yet one
is misled but only for q time and in
such a way that no lasting or unpleas-
ant error possibly can be involved, the
deception may be innocent But the
greatest caution is necessary. Many a
person has become habitually untruth-
full BY excessive and improper joking.

The Value of Mediocrity.

There is the place for the very great
man. and for every grade of men down
even to the least. No one is too great.
for the world needs the best that hui
mainly can furnish. In a proper sense,
too, it can be said that no one is too
little, for there is some proportionate
place for him to fill. But we make a
mistake when we grow discontinued
that so few are distinguished, famous,
remarkable, and when we permit our
selves to feel that the work must suffer
for that reason. The main work of the
world is not done by those who tower
up above their fellow-men, but by
medium people. the average ones, and
a good many who fall below the aver
age. who neither receive the tributes
of distinction nor look for them. There
are very great oaks and elms, beautiful
trees, majestic and graceful, striking
proofs of natures power of produc-
ton, and fitted for many important
uses. We see them and admire them.
But eating the pleasant fruits of these
summer days, we remember that they
grow on trees much less ambitious and
imposing-the middle-sized ones, such
as the apple, pear, plum and peach.
Some of them, indeed, come from
dwarfs, and even struggling vines con-
tribute their quota. Taken all in all,
it is mediocrity that provides us with
most of our benefcent results.-Uauted

BoundIess Wealth in Trust.

The utterla of limit in the promises
of God often surprises us and is too
much for our faith. Whatsoever We
shall ask" IF ye shall ASK Me any
thing" is the form of the premise. So
st. Paul says: "All things ara yours"
and to justify it he enumeraiss them,
and he includes in them every thing in
life or death, in earth or sky. in this
world or the next. Of course we have.
In expounding such passages, to make
the necessary limitations required by
the thought. Above all, these promises
and assurances must be interpreted in
the thought that we are not equals, but
children. We do not 60 to God as one
carries check to banker to be
cashed, and which the banker must
cash. or confess himself q bankrupt.
God is father. not banker. We are
His children, not His equals. An uncle
leaves fortune to a child. 1t is his,
all his, to be used for his good. But
the law wisely allows his father to
be his guardian. The father holds the
property for the child. just as much
as that child needs, all that will do
him good, that will not injure him,
that is best for him, the father gives to
him. He provides food, clothing,
education, every thing, SO far as the
child's advantage requires, and the
rest he holds in reserve till the child is
of age to take it into his own hands,
So we are children, heirs of boundless
wealth, but yet minors, not to be safe
~ intrusted with the control of our
wealth; and SO God governs the uni
verse as to give US all that is really
best for us, Paul and Apollos and
Cephas, friends, kindred and teachers;
the world, life, things present, all the
wealth, comfort, joy and sorrow of
