Morality i'm Little Things.

A railway conductor, passing through
his train, recently remarked: If all
were like that gentleman yOnder /
would have far less trouble in my work.
Every day, almost every hour, some
one tries to ride on my train without
paying for it." The gentleman to
whom he referred was uncertain as to
the value of an excursion ticket, think
ing the time for using it under the regu-
lations of the corporation had possibly
gone by. He therefore submitted the
ticket to the conductor, calling his
special attention to it and expressing a
desire to fulfill the exact conditions
under which he had purchased it. He
not only wished to relieve faithful
employe of possible embarrassment, in
his report to the company, but also to
be strictly honest, doing everything
openly. This incident points moral.
1t is wrong to allege that corporations
defraud and therefore they may be in
nocently defrauded The moral sense
of an individual ought not to be stultified
by any known wrong, however tri1ing it
may seem or however successfully con-
cealed from view. We are not sure
but there is just cause for close self
examination by many one who fancies
himself occupying secure moral stand
ing. Christian morals have to do with
fundamental truth; with the smallest
as well as the greatest volitions. And
the way to reach integrity of character
is not so much to regard the conspicu-
GUS acts of fidelity to the right as to be
sure that we are really true in reference
to those innumerable matters which
make up our daily life. 1t is well to
cultivate a tender conscience in every
thing-well for the individual himself,
well for his influence over others. In
the end of life it shall be well with
him. Peace will adjust the pillow in
life's latest hour of that man who acted
in all things wtha conscientious regard
to even-handed justice toward others
and with a strict sense of duty to his
God.-Selected

ton in the thought of standing in the
circle of those who have first locked
hands with the pierced hand of Jesus
and then with each other. Not only is
it good for the individuals, it is good for
the church, for all true believers to be-
long to it. The church needs all the
moral force it can properly secure-all
the faith, all the love, all the consecra-
ton, all the aggressiveness-in order to
meet the mighty tides of evil which are
all the time sweeping in on men, and
to get truth and righteousness forward
in a permanent conquest One who
loves Christ in all sincerity, and who
has accepted him as a personal Savior
and who wants to be of service to him
and his cause, will not find it easy to
put this consideration aside. elf any
man will come after me, or be my dis
ciple, let him deny himself and take up
his cross and follow me-" This is one
of the points when not to be with
Christ is to be against him.-1he

The Music of the Heart.


by y. II.
The music of the heart is deep and rich and sweet
when skillfu fingers touch its chords
BY loving looks and tender words
That bring happy thrill OF harmony complete.
The music of the heart Is plaintive, sad and low,
when sorrows touch through pain and care
Has left its mournful echo there
To tell a weary tale of human grief and woe.
The music of the heart is gone, and in its place
A noise of dlscords, harsh and loud,
As thunder from a darkng cloud,
Is heard, when sin with steathy fingers brings
disgrace.
The music of the heart is pure when Jesus love,
Through angel voices, sings to rest
These discords in the human breast
And fills the soul with melody from heaven above
The music of the heart resounds in ecstasy
When efforts made for Jesus sake
The heavenly halleluiahs wake
And once again a soul is saved eternaly
The music of the heart grows sweeter day by day,
As patient fingers strive to learn
And longing spirits often turn
To Christ, their Teacher Friend for help along the
way.
The music of the heart is perfect when at home,
Beyond the noise of earthly strife,
Rejoicing in the heavenly life,
1t feels the touch of him who bids the weary come

that they could keep afloat awhile

Sudden Death.

People differ in their views regard
ing the advantage or disadvantage of
sudden death, and it is interesting to
see how two eminent servants of God
felt concerning it: Quaint old Thomas
Fuller recorded this prayer against
sudden death: "Lord, be pleased to
shake my clay cottage before thou
throwest it down. May it totter awhile
before it shall tumble! Let me be
summoned before l am surprised. De-
liver me from sudden death: not from
sudden death in respect to itself, for
care not how short my passage may be,
so it be safe-never any weary traveller
complained that he came too soon to
his journeys end-but let it not be too
sudden in respect to me. Make me
always ready to receive death. Thus
no guest comes unawares to him who
keeps a constant table" The vener-
able Professor Silliman used to tell his
students Sudden death is never to
be dreaded. If it be Gods will, let
the angel of death come in flash, only
let him find me at the post of duty.
He can not come too quickly"

G. l.. GOOdell, DID.

81 was walking down Main street
one day." says a Christian lady of New
Britain, "and in the distance saw Mr..
Goodell fastening toward me with an
eager, strong step. All at once l saw
a smile; his face frightened. / was
ready for pleasant greeting, when l
noticed just before me common labor
ing man, moving with a slow, shutting
step, his arms filed with bundles. Mr..
Goodell's countenance Just beamed as
he caught up with him, extending both
hands, and exclaimed How glad | am

so long since l have seen you l

slowly, watching the building. He
recognized the man, and called out:
All, my friend, / have found you! I've
. been looking foryou. Come down here.
want TO talk with YOU The man de-
posted his burden and came down, and
last saw them in close conversation.
The following incident, which occurred
in the early part of his st. Louis ministry,
during the first year, illustrates his i'm
perturbable good nature. He was adj
dressing the Sunday-school one Sabbath
day at the noon hour, when he was in
terrupted and his voice almost drowned
by the loud ringing of milk-man's bell
Just outside the chapel windows. He
paused moment until the ringing had
ceased, and then, without the least sign
of Impotence or annoyance, said:
There is that bell again! heard it
the first Sunday | came into this chapel
and have heard it every Sunday since.
But God bless the bell and the man that
rings it and make him an honest milk
man, and may he desire the sincere
milk of the Word'' and then proceeded
in his address which the noisy clangor
had interrupted. The effect of this lit
tie parenthetical speech was most
happy. The people never forgot it; it
was an example of incorruptible sweet
ness and patience under provocation
which did them good. 1t suggested the
right way of dealing with the heathen-
ism and religious Indifference about
them. If they conquered it, it must be
done in the spirit and manner of him
who said: " Being reviled, we bless;
being prosecuted, we endure; being de-
famed, we entreat. "-LDe of ConStans
