STEADY PURPOSE.
DO the Duty That Lie Before You and
Then All VIII BE Well.

There are times when il is proper to
form plans for the future and even
build air-castles IL one feels so disposed,
bat no such indulgence should blind one
to presentduty. There is no position in
life where there is not 4 first duty more
pressing than any other. and the worker
must be cl~ear-sighted and steady-headed
enough to see and to do it instead of
frittertng away strength and time on
trivial matters The discharge OF one
duty shows the way TO another, and
thus finally obstacles are overcome By
degrees which before seemed unsur-
mountable- There is no enjoyment in
life so substantial as the sense OF duty
we'll performed, Of useful work we'll
done. There is no panacea for earthly
sorrow like this the absorption OF self
in useful work. the GOd-given work
which every one finds at his right hand
waiting to be done How many of Us
like he priest and Levite pass over to
the other side leaving to stranger hands
that which il should have been our
especial privilege to do There are
times when misfortune seems to over
whelm one, and the ruin of earthly
hopes seems imminent. At such times
it is doubly necessary to go faithfully on
with the work At hand, doing that
which is most pressingly needed first.
\ little weak hesitation may precipi-
tate ruin, when all trouble may be
averted by cool Judgment and steady
persistency. 1t no time is the power
Of recognizing and doing the work at
hand so important as in emergencies.
In sickness the nurse that stops to reflect
upon possibilities loses confidence.
She should go steadily ahead with the
duties that lie before her, and when the
crucial momen is passed she can con-
scientlously have nothing TO regret
There are times in every ones life when
steady persistence will accomplish won.
ders that the worker had not dared to
hope for before. Doubt. any hesitation
or neglect OF duty means at such a time
~incalculable loss. There is something
so marvellous in the effects OF steady
purpose that some writers have called
genius the power Of persistence"
While the greatest men of genius have
undoubtedly possessed this power, there
haye been men Of undoubted genius
who did not possess il and failed miser-
ably in their life-wOrk without it in
spite Of their ability. Cultivate this
power OF doing unswervingly the duty
that lies before you and trust Heaven

He uncovered several more Of the great

the horrid sight below me. My In

like a wounded snake, and / knew
he was not yet out Of his agony. On
every side were more tarantulas hun
grily searching for more victims.
Their crushed fellows were al
most torn to pieces, so fierce were
they in their hunger. They were all
enormous. some of them as big as tur-
ties, and when the sun struck them I
could see the red line that distin guished
them from the n-On-gregarious species
that are familiar in other places. They

ing body was the objective point OF most
Of them. They fought fiercely for a
spot OF flesh where they could strike,
and every movement of the still living
man seemed to make them the more
fierce.
II did not take me as long to notice
all this as it does TO describe it. and /
Don saw that I was not yet safe from
the hOrrib BILE fate that had overtaken my
guide.
The insects began to crawl up the
tree, though not in any considerable
numbers at first / brushed them down

were hurt at all were Immediately set

tame. but have no pen to describe the
