How much easier it is to talk about

missions, than it is to put our hands in
our pockets and do what we ought to
do ourselves. Rams Horn.
Let every Christian be on his guard
against falling into the temptation of
charging his defects and failures to cir
cumstances. To do so is to lay the
blame on Him who orders our lot. If
the heart is right with God it will make
its surroundings helpful to piety.-

RELIGIOUS MATTERS.
DAY BY DAY.

Give US this day, dear Lord, our daily bread;
We do no. ask to-morrow's till 1t come;
But on the journey, day by day, are fed,
Until Thou guide Us to our Heavenly homo
Give us this day the patience that we need,
So many little things our spirits try;
Give us the Word with eager love to heed,
Content although our wish Thou mayst deny.
Give us this day Thy wisdom; when perplexed
We know not how to turn nor what to do;
Save US, we pray, from being weakly vexed,
And lead US, hour by hour this one day
through.
Give us this day the courage and the cheer
To face Thy foes, and ours, with look serene;
Reveal Thyself SO constant and so near,
That We shall see Thee, not q cloud between
Give us this day more loyalty to Thee,
More hatred of the sin that wounds Thy heart;
More grace Thy loving followers to be,
Choosing in Thee, for aye, the better part
Give us this day our own light cross to bear,
As though it bore us on to heights divine;
Give us to realize, Thy cross who share,
That still the heaviest end, dear Lord, il Thine.
Give us this day our daily bread;
Thou knowest all our wants That want we
bring,
And in Thy footsteps, Saviour, as we tread,
We hail Thee Master and we crown Thee King.

but it was probably because he could

10 IL that which Makes Ono Better md
Elevated One Conception of Life.
The daily routine to which most men
and women are bound makes us blind
to the magical quality of the world in
which we live. There is no illusion
quite so potent as that of the common
place. Things become common to us
by familiarity which are essentially
wonderful the moment we really look
at them; and we are continually Miss
ing the best and greatest things in life
by losing the sense of the possibilities
which surround us. There are con-
stanty coming to most of us new ideas
about our work and about things we
can do through what appear to be
casual contacts with other men.
A sympathetic talk about cur
work often clarifies what was
confused, enlarges what was
confined, and expands a hundredfold
the scope of our hope and ambition.
Many man has come away from such
a talk with an entirely new idea of his
own life; the commonplace has sudden
suddenly become luminous with posi-.
BILE enlargement and greatness This
service, so often rendered to us, ought
to be rendered again by us to others.
1t is one of the things in life that we
are constantly missing because we do
not take thought about it. If we re-
allied sympathetically and strongly
the lives of those about us, we
should often be able by mere il
Elimination of sympathy and con-
tact to clear up confusion, to answer
perplexing questions, and to throw
open new doors of opportunity. The
man whom we meet every day is often
just at the point where the cordial
hearty, frank sympathy of friend, in
telligent and large-minded, would be of
priceless value to him. Our friends
may be missing great things for them
selves and for others through our fail
IRE to put ourselves in close contact
with them. The vicarious element
runs all through life, and the great
service which one man renders to
another is intelligently to take up the
others burdens and share the others
life. To keep ones self entirely free
from idle curiosity, and at the same
time deeply interested in whatever con-
Germs our friends, is to be in the posi-
ton of constant helpfulness Mems
lives are largely what they think of
them. An enlargement of ones ideals
of ones life generally means the en-.
largement of that life itself Every
one of us could enlarge the ideas Of orr
friends of their own possibilities their
own resources; and there is nothing
which we ought to prize so greatly as
this splendid possibility of fellowship
and service. TO stimulate our friends
to believe the best and make the most
of themselves is the noblest friendship.

as it wrong to laugh?" The ques.
TONER is young lady of a cheerful dis
position and professor Of religion.
The question is one which has been fro
quently put to me, and is worthy OF
notice. Laughter is medicine. 1t is a
cure for the ills which are thought in
durable. Many Christians think that
laughter is incompatible with Chris
tianity; but this is great mistake.
Christ never intended His people to go
with their heads bowed down as if.
like Atlas, they carried the world
upon their shoulders; or like
Jupiter. they would shake the
heavens with their nod. No one
feels the worse for good, hearty laugh;
but everyone feels better after it.
believe in cheerful religion; and what
is laughter but the outward token OF
joy? Laughter is good physically,
morally, spiritually. When l see pro-
fessors with extra long faces and un.
usually sober countenances, feel like
singing:
Awake, our souls, away our fears,
Let every trembling thought be gone;
Awake and run the heavenly race,
And put a cheerful courage on"
II have a work to do and duty to
perform want to do it with a cheerful
heart. A man that does his duty and
fears his God need not be ashamed to
laugh. There is time to laugh. We
should not be always laughing;
we may be always cheerful,
but a wise man knows how to
laugh and when to laugh. 1t is said
that ''the laughter of the fool is like
the cracking of thorns under pot. {"
There are sorrows in life, trials which
are hard to bear; and in such seasons
there will be no outward manifesta-
tions of joy. But there are seasons in
which it is right to express our feelings
of real pleasure in the way nature has
ordained, and that way is to laugh.
Give me religion that has Joy in it. 1t
may not in the estimation of some,
have the orthodox ring about it; but it
is the medicine need-the balm want
for my wounds of sorrow.
Religion never was designed
To make our pleasures less
