What ii TAX es TO Make an Editor.

The Ne1O York advocate says:
''The editorial position is peculiar. 1t is I'M
possible to mako an editor by vote, whether
OF General Conference, a committee or asso-
citation Of stockholders All that such bo dies
can do Is to exercise their best judgment IN
the selection of the person. Among other
things an editor must be energetic. He must
be sprightly. He must have an active mind:
He must have q store of illustrative facts and
Incidents. He must be capable of prompt
adjustment to new conditions. He must be
ca pable of sustained work at the desk.
"An editor must be able to bear praise In
occasional installments without losing his
head and he must also be able to bear mex
cusable misconception and misrepresenta-
ton without exhibiting temper
IAN editor must have the capacity OF max
ing and keeping friends. He must be In llv-
ing sympathy with his age and country. He
must not stand in fear Of his subscribers or
his contributors"
The Southern Christian advocate OF last week
says:
"If the above points are well taken, land
who will say they are not y one may well ex.
claim: who Is sufficient for these things =
Most Of US who are trying to do the work OF
an editor will have to console ourselves with
the thought that the race Is not always to
the swift nor the battle to the strong. Pa.
tient, plodding industry may cover many ed
'torlal shortcomings; and the editor who has
this, with high IDEAL may do good and use
fu1 work, even though he may never achieve
brilliant success"

An Answer.

II all the years were summer time,
And all the aim Of life
Was Just to live on like rhyme,
Then would be your wife.
II oil the days were August days
And crowned with golden weather,
How happy, then, through green-clad ways
We two could stray together.
If all the nights were moonlight nights,
And we had naught to do
But just to sit and plan delights,
Then 1 would wed with you,
fife was all summer fete,
Its sobererst pace the 'glide,"
Then would choose you for my mate,
And keep you at my side.
But winter makes full half the year.
And labor half Of life;
And all the labor and good cheer
Give place to wear and strife.
Days will grow cold and moons wax old,
And then heart that's true
Is better far than grace or gold,
And so, my love, adieu,
cannot wed with you.
