Tho Duke of Dantzig in luxurious apart
ments was visited by a plain friend. and
to keep his friend from jealousy, the Duke
said: "You can have all I have il you
shoot at you one hundred times" "No,
no." said the friend. "Well," said the
Duke, ITO gain all my honors 1 faced
on the battle field more than 1000 gun
shots fired not more than ten PAGES off. {"
A minister of small congregation COM
planned to minister of large congre CATION
about the sparseness of his attendants.
"Ah," said the one of large audience, "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 an everlasting
emulation. Seeing others good, let us try
to be better. Seeing others industrious,
let US work more hours. Seeing others be-
nevolent, let us resolve on giving larger
percentages of our means for charity. May
God put congratulations for others into our
right hand and cheers on our lips for those
who do brave and useful things. Life is
short at the longest; let it all be filed up
with helpfulness for others, work and sym.

mistakes and failures of others. If an
evil report about some one comes TO us, let
us put on it most favorable construction,
as the Rhone enters Lake Leman foul and
comes out crystalline. Do not build SO
much on the transitory differences of this
world, for soon it will make no difference
to us whether we had $lO,O0O,oO0 or 10
cents, and the ashes into which the tongue
of Demosthenese dissolved are Just like
the ashes into which the tongue of the
veriest stammer went.

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 misinterpret Him from the winter
of the year to the spring of tn. year 80;
that is, from His first infantile cry to the
last groan Of His assassination? Yet He
answered not word! But SO far from
demolishing either His mission OF His good
name, after near nineteen centuries. He
outranks everything under the ekies, and
is second to none above them, and the
archangel makes salaam at His tootsiool.
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 in
Producing Him to all nations, since He
brew is the hottest language, and Greek
the wisest of tongues, and Latin the
widest spoken.
You are not the first, man who had his
faults locked at through microscope and
his virtues through the wrong end of
telescope. Pharaoh had the chief butler
and baker endungeoned, 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 grave. in the
Kings bread. The world has the habit of
making a great ado about what you do
wrong and forgetting to say anything about
what you do right, but the same God will

cataplasm. Ointment may smart the

We can feel that though 1000 people may
have wronged US, we have wronged no
one; or, having made envious and jealous
attack on others, we have repented of tho
sin and as far as possible made reparation.

in his quaint but exquisite hymn, entitled
"Most Any Day." We might we'll unani-
mously adopt:
Well keep all right and good within,
Our work will then be free from sin;
Upright we'll walk through thick and thin
Straight on our way.
Deal Just with eli: the prize we'll win
Most any day.
When He who make all things Just right
Shall call us hence to realms of light,
Be it morn or noon or cen or night,
We will obey;
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 I'LL the while
To light our way;
Our work all done. we'll quit the soil
Most any day.
