head, showing where the antlers struck him.
And the probability is that some OF you
might give mighty clip to your pur-
suers; you might damage their bust

you might hurt them as much as they hurt
you, but after ali, 1t is not worth while.
Ycn only have hurt a hound. Better be

mountains of Gods eternal strength look
down and moor their shadows. AS for your
physical disorders, the worst strychnine you
can take is fretfulness, and tho best medl-
cine is religion, | know people who were
only little disordered yet have fretted
themselves into complete valetudnarian-

he speaks OF them as a continuous river,
saying: There is a river the streams
whereof shall make glad the city of God
Thou shalt make them drink of the rivers

But many of you have turned your back
on that supply, and confront your trouble,
and you are soured with your circum-
stances, aud you are fighting socie,y, and
you are fighting a pursuing world, and
troubles, Instead of driving you into the
cool lake of heavenly comfort, have made
you stop ard turn round and lower your
head, and 1t is simply antler against tooth.
l do not blame you. Probably under the
same circumstances / would have done
worse. But you are all wrong. You need
to do as the reindeer does IN February and
March-it sheds its horns. The Rabbinical
writers allude to this resignation of antlers
by the stag wheh they say of man who
ventures his money in risky enterprises, he
has hung it on the stays horns, and a pro-
verb in the far east tells a man who has
foolishly lost his fortune to go and find
where the deer shed her horns. NY brother.

quit misanthropy, quit complaint quit
pitching into your pursuers, be as wise as,
next spring, will be all the reindeer of the
Adirondacks Shed your horns.
But very many of you who are wronged

I'VE have alNays done the best we could
and tried to be useful. and why we should
become the victims of malig nment or in
validism, or mishap, is in crutablen Why,
do you not know tnat the finer a deer. aud
the more elegant its proportions, and the
more beautiful its bearing, the more anx-
ious the hunters and the hounds are to cap
broken hoofs, and an obliterated eve, and a
hmpiug gait, the hunters would have said:
"Pshawl don't let US waste our ammunition
on a sick deer And the hounds would
have given a few shifts of the track
and then darted off in another direc-
ton for better game. But when
they see deer with antlers
lifted in mighty challenge to earth and sky,
and the sleek hide looks as If it had been
smoothed by invisible hands, and the fat
sides enclose the richest pasture that could
be nibbled from the bank of rils so clear
they seem to have dropped out os heaven,
and the stamp Of its foot defies the lack

So If there were no noble stuff in your
makeup, if you were bifuroated nothing
if you were forlorn failure you would be
allowed to go undisturbed; but the fact that

Many who have done their best to make
the world better have had such a rough
time OF it that all their pleasure is in antici-

Yes, for some people in this world there
