you want to help the devil to
the best of your ability, take care
that you do nothing to bring those
about you nearer to Christ, and
keep on the watch for something
to crlticise whenever anybody else
tries in any way to lift men up. If
you will only be faithful to him in
these particulars, the devil will
give you free leave to be as pious
as you like on your own account.

Faithfulness i'm the humbiest part
Is better al least than PROUD sue
cess;
And patience and love in chaSened
Are pearls more precious than hap
piness;
And in the morning, when we shall
wake,
To the spring-time FRESHNESS OF
youth again,
All troubles will seem but flying
flake.
And lifelong sorrow a breath on the
pane.

Keeping Christ's commandments
keeps the eye clear, the temper

affection pure; in these lie the

Fraternal Orders.

The recent session of the Grand
Lodge Knights of Honor, of this
State. in this city, calls attention
to the development of these mod
ern societies, which are purely of
American origin. This is really
the best and the brightest jewel of
modern civilization. These orga2-
izations are engaged in the best
form Of organized charity. They
care for the widow and orphan.
BY binding men together in the
bonds of fraternal love, they pre-
vent strife and develop generosity.
They have done more to destroy
sectionalism than all the laws en-
acted since the war. They have
demonstrated that manhood, honor
and generous deeds are the pro-
duct Of no particular cline or sec
ton. They have brought tOgeth--
er men from the East. North, West
and South, and by united action ia
relieving human suffering, shown
the common brotherhood of man.
An obscure mechanic, John j.
Upchurch, % years ago founded
an order in which the humblest
toiler in the mine or field could
provide for his loved ones when
death should take him away from
them. To-day the American Or
der of United Workmen is strong
and powerful, distributing $500
600 per annum, and has stronger
reserve fund than all the life in
surance companies of America
27l, 600 members guaranteeing the
$1,000 to be paid to the widows
and orphans fund. They have no
high-salaried officials, the Su-
preme Master Workman receiving
the sum of 5000 per annum, and
is as thoroughly versed in matters
of life insurance as the $4,000 per
annum president of some of |
the great life insurance companies
The men who are toiling in season |
and out, to build up these orders.
are laboring unselfshly as true
philanthropists in the great field |
of humanity. The Knights of
Honor distribute some S2,5OO.OOO
per annum. 1t is of later date, in
It's wake, comes the American Le-
gion of Honor, Knights of Pyth-
las. Knights of the Golden Eagle.
and other kindred orders.
Young man, if you wish to help
your fellow-man, there is no better \
method, no more enjoyable way of
spending a little of your time than
in these orders.

Let Us Be Watchful

If every Christian would guard
well his conversation and actions
during the week, when intermIng-
ling with those among whom his
business calls him, and be very
careful that Christ is in his heart,
and is on trial in his life, he would
much more full y reflect the honor
and glory Of God and be of vastly
more service in His vineyard. We
should strive each day to SOW a
seed of love and kindness, and do
our very best to SOW in soil which
has terminating powers, so that it
will grow and become a sheaf for
the granary above. If we do
naught But keep our lives holy,
though we say but little, we can.
not fail to throw some light on
the pathway that leads to glory.
from the radiance of which others
may be enabled to find and walk
the same road.
Let us, one and all, resolve to
live close to Christ, that others
may learn of that safe shelter, and
seek it for its eternal protection.
#s*
We have observed that the
Christian man who shuts himself
up to the life of recluse, and sur
veys the world from a distance, is
likely to be gloomy and despond-
ent, whereas the Zone who goes
forth among his fellows with a
stout heart to face and fight the
devp is almost sure to take a cheer
ful view of things. There could
not be a clearer demonstration
than this that God designed us not
tofsneak out of our social duties,
but to meet and discharge them

Satan seldom comes to Chris

green log and a candle are safe
neighbors; but bring shsvings and |
sticks, and let them take fire, and
you will soon get rid of your log.
So it is with little sins. The devil
brings little temptation. There
is no harm in this, no great peril

we are at first easily lighted up,
and at last the great log is burned.
