shade. Hsomeone is more beautiful than
you. thank God that YOU have not SO many
peri,s of vanity to contend with. If someone
has more wealth than you, thank God that
you have not SO great Stewardship to answer
for. Ii someone is higher up in social posi-
ton, thank God that those who are down
need not fear fall. IF someone gets h.hers
! Office in church or state than you, thank God
there are not SO many to wish for the has
tening on of your obsequies.
Ehe Duke of Dantzig, in luxurious apart
ments, was visited by Il plain friend. and to
keep his friend from jealousy the duke taid:
.'4ou can have all have if you vii stand
| twenty PAGES off, and let me shoot at you q
hundred times" s.No, no, said his friend.
"Wel1,' said the duke. go gain all my hon.
| ors faced on the battlefield more than a
thousand gunshots fired not more than ten
PAGES OFF,
A minister of small congre CATION COM
pialned to a minister Of large congregation
about the sparseness of his attendants. .sAh,"
said the one of large audience, s..my son, you
will find in the day of Judgment that you
had quite enough people for whom to be held
accountable.
Substitute for jealousy fan elevating emu
latlon. Seeing others good, let us try to be
better. Seeing others industrious, let us
work more hours. Seeing Others benevolent,
let us resolve on giving larger percentage of
our means for charity. May God put con-
CALCULATIONS for others into our right hand
and cheers on OUR lips for those who do brave
and useful things. Life is short atlongest;
let it all be filled up with helpfulness for
others, work and sympathy Tor each others
misfortunes, and our arms be full of White
NANTES to cover up the mistakes and failures
OF others. If an evil report about someone
come to us. let us put on it most favorable

so much on the tran itory differences of this
world, for soon 1T will make no difference to
us whether we chad S10,GOO,000 or 10 cents,
and the ashes into Which the tongue of De-
mosthenes dissolved, are lust like the ashes
into Which the tonge of the veriest stammer-
er went. il you are assailed by Jealousy make
no answer. Take it as compliment, for
people are never jealous of failure. Until
your work is done you are invulnerable.
Remember how our Lord behaved under
such exasperations. Did they not try to
catch Him in His word? Did they not call
Him the victim of intoxicants? Did they
not mlslnterpret Him from the winter Of the
year 1 TO the spring of the year So that is,
from His first infantile cryNto the last groan
OF His assassination? Yet He answered not
word. But so far from demolishing either
His mission or His good name, after near
nineteen centuries He orltranks everything
under the skies, and is second to none above
His footstool. Christ's bloody antagonists
thought that they had finished Him when
they wrote over the cross His accusation in
three languages, --HebreW, and Greek, and
Latin.-not realizing that they were by that
act introducing Him to all nations, since He
Wisest of tongues, and Latin the widest
spoken.
You are not the first man who had his
faults looked at through microscope and
his virtues through the wrong end of a tele-
scope. Pharaoh. had the chief butler and
baker endnngeoned, and tradition says that
all the butler had done was TO allow fly in
the kings cup and all the baker had done
was to leave a gravel in the kings bread.
The world has the habit of making q great
ado about what you do wrong and forgetting
to say anything about what you do right, but
the same God will take care you who pro-
vided for Merlin, the Christian MARTYR
when hidden from his pursuels in a hay-mow
in Paris, and q hen came and laid an egg
close by him every morning, thus keeping
him from starvation. Blessed are teey that
are prosecuted, although persecution is a
severe cataplasm. Ointment may smart the
wound before healing it. What soft pill
low to die on if when we leave the world we
can feel that, though thousand people may
have Wronged US, we have Wronged no one;
or having made envious or jealous attack on
others, we have repented of the sin and as
far as possible made PREPARATION. The good
resolution of Timothy Poland in his quaint
but exquisite hymn, entitled '.Most Any
Day. we might we'll unanimously adopt:
Well keep all right and good within,
Our work will then be free from sin /;
Upright we walk through thick and thin
Straight on way.
Deal just with all; the p .ize We II win
Most any day.
When he who made all things just right
Shall call US hence to realms of light
be It morn noon or cen or n 'ght,
We will obey;
Well be prepared to take our fight
Most any day
Our lamps we'll fill brim full of oil
THAT'S good and pure, that would not spoil,
And keep them burning all the while
To light our way;
Our work all done We'll quit the soil
Most any day.
