To a pretty little tune,
Holding up her dainty lips,
Sweet as roses born in June.
Will was ten years old that day,
And he pulled her golden turls
Teasingly, and answer made.
I'm too old-I don't kiss girls"
Ten years pass. and Marguerite
Smiles, as Will kneels at her feet,
Gazing fondly in her eyes,
Praying, Wont you kiss me, sweet,

Pure in Heart.

And whatsoever things are pure"
Ali that this warning might reach the
heart of every one of you and inspire
you with the resolute effort to Danish
from your minds everything that de-
fileth. AS on the one hand there is
nothing in this world more exquisite
than a soul from which the bloom and
dew of innocence have not been swept
away, as there is nothing more divine
on earth than the indignant blush of
modesty on the pure young cheek, so
there is nothing more wretched than he
whose soul is a desecrated temple,
Astounding in chambers of unclean
imagery, haunted by the spirits of i'm
pure and polluted thoughts. Alas
this unsullied loneliness of soul is only
possible to those who guard it like the
golden apples of the Hesperides. 1t is
gone for those who dwell upon I'M
hallowed thoughts, who long for the
poisonous fruit of the tree of the knowl-
edge of evil, who indulge in a base and
morbid curiosity, who have once given
themselves over to work all unclean-
ness with greediness. Remember that
thoughts are under our own control,
that it is our own fault if we indulge in
them, that the thought of wickedness
is sin, that God sees and knows our
most secret thoughts, that impure
thoughts voluntarily encouraged lead
inevitably to fatal deeds and blighted
lives. There is no more sure way to
blast, as with the poisonous breath of a
sirocco, every green leaf and fair
flower of youth than to subject it to the
hot breath of lewd imaginations. 1 can
imagine no worse misfortune that could
happen to any youth than wiful and
guilty indulgence in the pollution of
debased and debasing thoughts. He
can eject, he can suppress, he can re-
fuse them a Judgment if he will, and if
he does notch, youth, thou art in
deed unhappy!-F. W. Farrar.

Happy Old Age.

Now it is quite true that the great
majority of men, and even good Chris
tians, can not attain to the thought of
happy old age without hard struggle.
We have a natural reluctance to the
feeling that we are growing old; we
put it away, and when something at
last forces it upon us it is like the rush
of an armed man from an ambush or the
flake of the first snow to tell us that
the long summer days are gone and
that winter is at hand. And yet, as
you may have seen, it is the transition
that is the most painful. When the
first DAYS of brown October show us
the fresh green leaves of summer, now
sere and yellow, dropping from the
boughs under the wind that walls
through the thin woods, we can not help
a feeling of sadness creeping over the
heart. But when winter has come it
has its own enjoyments. There is the
long, quiet evening, the cheerful CLEAN
of the hearth, the closer bosom of the
family and of friendship, the pleasant
memories of summer and the hopes of
its return-these give to winter its
gladness and even its glow. If we are
in this transition, or nearing it, we
should seek to realize it and rise above
it by looking forward. Every time of
life to true man is only transition
to something better. 81 am growing
old; yes, l am growing old. Lord, teach
me to count my days and to look not so
much wistfully back as hopefully for
ward-forward to the quiet peace and
happy thoughts which God can give in
winter, and still further, to the day
when winter shall be past and the rains
over and gone and the time of the sing
ing of the birds shall again have
come. "-ReU. John Ker, ID.

THE MODERN DIsTRIBUTIvE PROCESS
Studies of Competition and its Limits, of
the Nature and Amount of Profits and of
the Determination of Wages in the Indus
trial Society of To-day. BY John b. Clark,
author of the Philosophy of Wealth " and
Franklin II. Giddings. Octave, cloth (;
seventy-seven pages. Price by mail, post
paid, seventy-fve cents. This is the first
candid and scientific study of the new prob
lens Of distribution resulting from compe-
tition in its modern form, and the organiza.
ton of pools, trusts, labor unions, etc. 1t
is view of the present social evolution, its
causes, principles and tendencies. AS fair
and able treatment of the most vital ques-
tions of the day, these essays seem of pecu-
liar value and interest. They were originally
published in the Political Science Quarterly
and in that form attracted great atten-
ton both here and abroad. CHM q Com

WoRTHINGToN COMPANY has issued Yam
kee Girls in Zululand," by Louise V. Shell
trations by j. I. Graves from original
sketches by j. Austin. One volume, 12mo.
Cloth, extra gilt top, 1925. The charm of
this book lies in the simplicity of manner in
which the travels of these Yankee girls is
told, and the courage and energy displayed
by them, which the writer seems to think is
nothing at ALL and just what any other
of it. 1t tells of the customs, history and
life of the people in Africa in a most inter
esting manner, and yet, when the book is
finished it leaves behind it the feeling that
the half has not been told. The one hun
dred illustrations are original and full of life
and beauty. They are the first of the kind
we have seen in any American book and
are made after the photogravure process
1t is delightful work of art from the first
to the last page.

Every Day.

The patient toll of willing hands
Is Gods own work for every day,
And he who in the market stands
And idly dreams the hours away,
Or asks for work above his powers
And pay beyond his spirits need,
Finds he has sheaves in harvest-hours
who by all waters scatters seed.
The love whose gift is sacrifice
Is Gods own love for every day,
And where its incense flames arise
A beacon lights the darkest way.
Grand passions soonest waste their fires
And sweet affection longest lives,
While he who OF his idol tires
False love for true devotion gives.
The modest flower that asks no need
Is Gods own flower for every day;
Upspringing from wind-wafted seed
1t lifts to heaven its sun-hecked spray;
And softened dream and tender song,
Which swell to sweetness with the years.
Are wayside roses which belong
To foot-worn paths believed with tears.
The gifts that come to us unsought
Are Gods own gifts for every day,
Since farest flowers, unasked, have brought
An offering at our feet to lay.
The wild bird, of his own sweet will,
Sings to us from our household tree,
And life its nectared cup must fill
From common things we daily see.
