MANS REAL POWER.

1t Lies Not in Fine Conceptions and Intel
lectual Force, But in the Noble Attri-
bqtes Which Make Up Our Lives.
There is no mechanism so delicate as
the adjustment of forces which make
up human life. The most exquisite
mechanical adaptations represent but
grossly the fneness of moral, intellect
ual and physical adjustments which are
ultimately secured in every human life.
If we could only realize, for one
hour, how subtle, manifold and ex-
act are the influences which shape us,
there would be far less tritling with the
serious concerns of character. If we
could really feel that every sin, every
negligence, every neglect, involves
either a permanent or passing loss of
power, and that we are absolutely pow.
erless to serve ourselves from the
causes which we set in motion, we
should walk with very careful feet
That which gives US power of i'm
pressing our fellows is not so much the
conscious direction of our abilities as
the unconscious expression of our
selves. 1t is character in its continuous
revelation with gives or denies us the
power we seek with others. There is
no possibility of concealing ones real
self; it will discover itself, and in that
discovery, constantly going on, lies our
chief influence either for good or ILL.,
The only way to make the most of our
selves is to hold ourselves in perfect
humility to loyalty and obedience.
There is greater power behind u.s.,
ready to be expressed through us, than
we can comprehend. Men who take
their lives into their own hands, who
obey or disobey as they choose, and use
their gifts as forces which they can, in
way, detach from themselves, are con-
tinually coming to failure, if not to posi-
tive disaster. 1t was once said of a pub
lie man of great intellectual force, but
exceedingly questionable moral char
acter, who was put upon his defense by
certain charges, that when he stood on
his feet and spoke for himself it seemed
as if no evidence could convict him, but
when he sat down and was silent il
seemed as if he had no friend and nc
cause. This man had detached his gifts
from his character. When he could
employ them consciously he made an
| impression, but the moment he was
silent his power WIS gone. There was
no unconscious atmosphere of truth
and integrity about him. His charac.
ter bclied his gifts, The highest end OF
life is to so live that the great purpose
behind us may work itself out through
us, and that, whether speaking OF
silent, whether working or at rest, the
unconscious atmosphere which we carry
with us may breathe purity, fidelity and
loyalty. Christian Union

and not mere admiration. United Pres

Lately we heard a lady say: "My

selves half as much about their duty to
their neighbor as they puzzle their
brains over infralapsarianism and su-
pralapsarianism, good many now

Nj It of the good service rendered
the world to-day is done by those who
offer themselves willingly to do that
which has no more claim upon them
than upon others. Voluntary service
is blessing the world, and is manifest

FOR SUNDAY READING.
WAITING ALONE.
Waiting alone In the night,

Waiting alone in he night,
Never star to shine;
Never heart throb in the fight
Close to this heart of mine.
Waiting in weary pain,
Almost to weak to moan;
No loving hand to share the strain
Waiting, alone, alone!
Waiting, unable to sleep
Through the long dragging hours,
Thinking of graves, where are buried deer
All of life's sweetest flowers.
Scanning the frownlng sky,
Listening for some faint call
Seeing aud hearing no light, no cry,
Waiting--and that is all.
Waiting on God In the night
Seeking His will and choice;
Walking by faith, and not by sight,
Striving to hear His voice.
Crying to Him to save,
While the storms ne'er abate;
Sinking beneath the cruel wave.
stlll tor my Lord wait.
Waiting alone in the night,
Facing the doubt and fear;
Thicker the gloom as the morning light
Steadily draweth near.
Waiting in desperate faith,
Whether the heavens fall;
Hoping in Hlm-come life or death
Jesus, my all in all.
Surely the God of light
Succor will send to me-
Standing alone in the frownng night,
Promise of help see.
Strong in His mighty power,
Faith can assurance trace:
Trusting that God in the crucial hour
Surely will give me grace.

wants only one den: and those ami
mails which are led by God-Eivon
instinct to provide food for winter
never store away more than they can
use But we see men adding house
to house. farm to farm. bank to bank
and when they accumulate wealth far
beyond what they or their families
need. even for luxurious living, they are
still impeled by avarice, as though they
wanted the whole world in their grasp
This avarice means the hunger and
thirst of souls separated from God by
sin, and seeking satisfaction in things
visible and tangible.
A large class of men try to satisfy the
hunger of their souls by eating and
drinking more than the body needs for
physical appetites We conclude, from
long observation in the study of
human nature, that a large number
among the Incorporate stupefy
themselves with opium and alcohol SO
that the craving of their souls for bet
ter things may not be felt. What an
insult this must be to the God of
Heaven, who created the soul of man
to be satisfied only with himself, and
who invites us all to continual feast
of love. "If any man thirst" says
Jesus, ..'let him come unto Me and
drink" and again He says: 81 am the

seemed to be rather delicate girl, not

or that she had less vitality than the

Nellie's mother was a widow with a
very narrow income, in feeble health,
and incurably lame. She had support.

were in very dilapidated condition be
