THE BEST WAY TO LOVE.
''St. Francis de Sales, when asked how to
! love, said the best and easiest way to love
was TO love He added that we learn to
speak by speaking, to study by studying, TO
run by running, to work Oy working, and
! just so we learn to love by loving. In the
exercise of ell the virtues there should be as
much concentration OF the mind on the
object and as little self-regard as possible.
Take the case Of charity. Active CHARITY
is sort of commercial TRANSACTION, vita the
commercial motive absent. We give some
thing for nothing, and yet we receive as
well as give. But the moment we allow the
value received, or 10 he received, to rise into
distin consciousness and become a motive
or our action, the moral nature Of the
action changes; il becomes selfish or partly
selfish, instead of being, as without this it
would have been, wholly benevolent In
deed, one of the conditions % exalt virtue
of any kind is to keep the se.f-interest that
att -nds upon virtue out of Consciousness.
Self lnsciousneSs is the Aaron's rod that
swallows up all the not-self that comes in
its way. For this reason, amongst others, it
has been made ques ion whether certain
organized charity work is t. be encouraged,
or even tolerated. | allude t. that form OF
organization which consists OF president,
a secretary, a committee a hall and ball,
with indefinite refres aments.
LAW ON LOVE BEFORE MARRIAGE.
''ln the study of my subject have been
surprised TO find so little law on love before
marriage. In none OF the books DO see
any command to love the young ladies. or
the young gentlemen. Of any age or genera
ton. This is sort Of love that does not
wait for orders. There is no conscription;
everybody volunteers. Still there is some
law, for Cupid has court and suits and
suitors; this implies law and lawyers.
But | have never pracuced at his
bar, except in one very difficult
case. in which | was plaintiff as well
as counsel. The Law Of the land leaves love
affairs to proceed somewhat st haphaz I'D
until they are about 10 become locked in
wedlock. Then IL helps the parties along by
granting a license, aud the church als) iu-
terposes by sending a clergyman to assist
in the final ceremony. This stage being
passed, love before the fact changes iuto
love after the fact, and the imperative
Thou shalt love- is in full force"
