VICTORIOUS LIVING.

Jesus, walking on the stormy sea as if it
had been marble floor, was a picture Of
the victoriousness of His living in all His ex-
periences. Thus he walked on all waves.
There were rivers of trial in His path, but
His feet never sank into their waters. He
came at the last to a black sea of sorrow,
whose pillows rolled like mountains about.
but He trod them under His feet, and passed
in quiet majesty to the other side. Or, TO
drop the figure, He was always victorious
in living. He was never defeated in life's
enmities or antagonisms.
In this the life of Christ is type of what
every Christian life should be-victorious
always. Jesus Himself said: I'm the world
We shall have tribulations, but be Of good
cheer; have overcome the world" St.
Paul in speaking Of the trials and trouble
that beset the Christian, -tribulation, dis
tress, persecution, famine, nakedness, sword,
asked: "Shail these separate US from the
love of Christi" and answered his own
question, NAY, in all these things we
are more than conquerors through Him that
loved u.s." These antagonistic influences
should never be allowed to defeat or crush
us. Instead Of being vanquished by the ills,
trials and enmities of life, we should over
come them, and be more than conquerors,
through Him that loved us. Nothing should
ever defeat US, nothing can defeat us, if we
realize our privilege as Christians. What
soever is bora of God overcometh the world,
and this is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith. ."-PtSbyterian.

THANKSGIVING AND COURAGE.

Paul 18th, MED God and took courage"
Thankfulness and courage 60 together
They are twin qualities of the inner life. tho
two eyes of the same soul, one looking BACK
ward, the other forward. Those who see
God in the past, see Him in the, future:
They thank Him for what He has done and
trust Him for what He will do. With the
memory of His goodness, they have laid up
q great hope of His blessing.
You see those who are noted for courage
and success in doing Chrsts work, and how
thankful they are for everything done.
Mark their tone and expression when they
tell of an attempt to win soul, or draw
troubled or faltering saint out of the shadow,
and see how they rejoice over the smallest
gain. IF the alchemists could have turned
one little pebble or grain of sand into. gold.
the secret would have been found, and their
feverish dream reality. Mountains would
have turned to precious metal.
These thankful people are spiritual alche'
mists. They have found the secret which
transmutes everything. In the grace which
softens q single heart or soothes a sorrow
they see an aboundng grace: Every bless
ing upon their work is double blessing-a
blessing to themselves and to another, q
widespread blessing multiplying itself into
a multitude of loving kindnesses and tender
mercies. One small devil cast out, ard, like
their Master, they see Satan fall from
Heaven, and rejoicing in spirit, they Lift up
their hearts and voices and thank the Lord
of Heaven and earth. These are the brave
souls who are going to bring the world to
Christ. -,
Paul did not think Of himself as living
charmed life, but he did think himself part
of a great plan. He was not q. poor, lonely
wanderer, but servant of Christ, a man on
q heavenly mission. about his Fathers busi-
ness. Hence, whatever befalls him is not
merely personal matter, but an affair OF
the kingdom.
There is an exquisite touch of this sentl-
ment in his letter to the Corinthians:
"Whether we be afflicted it is for yo'lr con-
ISOLATION and salvation, or whether we be
comfortcd it is for your consolation and sal,
vation." This is the wide view of life, and
the only view which can keep the heart flill
of thankfulncSs and courage.-N. I. O0-

RELIGIOUS READING.

BELIEVE GOOD THINGS OF GOD.
When in the storm it seems to thee,
That he who rules the raging sea
Is sleeping-stilI with bended knee,
Believe good things of God.
When thou hast sought in vain to find
The silyery thread Of love entWiped
With lifes oft-tangled web-resigned
Believe good things of Cd.
And shou' he smite thee till thy heart
Is crushed beneath the bruising smart,
Still while the bitter tear-drops start,
Believe good things of God.
'Tis true thou canst not understand
The dealings of thy Fathers hand;
But, trusting what his love has Ilanned,
Believe good things of God.
He loves thee. In that love conide,
Unchanging, faithful, true and tried;
And let or JOY or grief betide,
Believe good things of God.
Thou canst not raise thy thoughts too high:
AS spreads above the earth the sky,
So do His thoughts thy thoughts outvie;
Believe good things Of God.
In spite of what thine eyes behold;
In spite Of what thy fears have told;
Still to His gracious promise hold
Believe good things of God.
For know that what thou canst believe
Thou shalt in His good time receive;
Thou canst not half his love conceive
Believe good things Of God.

A CONSTANT FRIEND.

In home which was recently visiting I
heard a very interesting story OF the
thoughtfulness of young man.
He was riding on train from Marblehead
to Boston. Glancing up from the morning
paper, he noticed the rather peculiar ap-
pearance of a lad who was seated not far
from him, who, fellow-passenger i'll.
formed him, had been blind for several
years. -,
The explanatory statement was made in
that half careless tone which we all use
more or less in the communication of facts
with which we have for some time been
seemed to take any deep interest in the
blind lad after curiosity had been satisfied.
He communed with himself: "How will
the Door little fellow reach his home? There
is no one with him, and he may live at some
distance from the city station. How will he
find his way through the streets?"
He decided that. in spite of pressing busi-
ness, he would follow the lad.
He was close beside him when he de-
scended from the train, he watched him
carefully from street to street, though soon
discovering that he had wonderful skill in
pressing his way onward, and he remained
so near that. had any accident endangered
his life, he would have protected and saved
him.
The young man did not rest satisfied un-
til the lad had reached his home and been
welcomed by his invalid mother.
The recital of this story was followed bv
the warm applause of all in the family
group which had listened to it. Grandtatherr
said, "a good young man-so kind and
thoughtful!' ..
But while VIC are glad over all such Incl,
dents, which are like jewels of the purest
lustre, how we should rejoice that the Lord
has promised, "Lo, am with you Away, :,

The Richest American Gold Ore.

A lot of about 200 pounds of quartz,
carrying gold at the rate of $50, 900 a
ton, was recently taken from the main
shaft of the Michigan gold mine, near
Ishpeming, Mich. Assays of three
samples of quartz from the Michigan give

The latter is the richest gold-bearing

comments upon and commends the Ia"
passed by the last Legislature of Minnesota
to punish drunkards by fine and imprison'

The Sanitarian has constantly maintained
that the true criminal is he who gets drunk.
And that it is no more reasonable to hold the
liquor-seller guilty of promoting drunken
ness than it would be to hold the grocer
guilty of promoting theft because his goods
are sometimes stolen. Make drunkards odl-
GUS, and cease pampering them as nnfortu-
mates and encouraging them to hold oeher
persons responsible for their sins, and get

pens that this hotel has two entrances,
within a few feet of one another, and
much alike in appearance.
The wayfarer paused in front Of one
door, slowly read the inscription upon
it, and, with a satisfied smile, started
to enter. But the smile quickly faded
away, for as he took the first step he
caught sight of the other door. He
hesitated moment and then walked
over to the second entrance. There he
balanced himself carefully and smiled
once more as he spelled out the sign,
but again the smile disappeared as a
furtive glance showed him the first
entrance still in good and regular
standing.
The pilgrim backed out to the curb
and studied the situation. Beyond
question he could see two doors at
once and the fact seemed to annoy
him. After little reflection an idea
struck him. He covered one eye with
his hand and slowly turned his head,
bringing one door into range and then
the other. Next he took out pair OF
glasses, carefully wiped them, and put
them on. but still both entrances APP

was baffied and he had to seek outside
