Cleaning the Corners.

From the Culver for March.
A friend OF mine once told me that when he was
boy his father sent him to clean the windows
He got cloth and began rubbing away at the
panes. BY and by his father came to see how the
work was getting on. He found the little fellow
rubbing at the middle OF a pane, where it was al.
ready clean, and never touched the corners which
were full OF dirt, and said, 'Never mind the middle
OF the paneS-they are always clean: clean the
corners! clean the corners."
The boy never forgot what his father said and
afterward saw how well 1t applied to his life and
the lives OF Others as well as to the window panes
The most OF us are fairly respectable people and
trust not few OF US real Christians. We avoid
big sins and all sorts OF common wickedness but
l rear some OF US do not watch enough against
little sins and Shortcomings; especially we do not
give heed enough TO the cultivation of the Chris
tian graces, which make life so bright and beauti-
full. We are really very good. We are not thieves
liars SwearerS, nor drunkardS. We have charac.

world, without much trouble on our part, keeps 1t

''Oh," you say, ut does not much matter about
them; they are corners-nobOdy heed HEM" SO
