1t Is the development of the best Of our
nature which renders domestic happi-
ness possible. Little faults Of dispo-
siuon, an uncertain temper, a little
lack Of principle, little selfishness. a
little pride, little deceit, a little in
dolence, are small hindrances in the
struggle for worldly success. Here the
question is, not so much what one is.
as 1t is what can one appear to be. In
the home cocealment is impossible, the
real disposition appears. These little
faults Of disposition are the serpents of
the domestic Eden. A flaming sword
guards the portals OF the home In
which such faults are housed, and do
mestic happiness never crosses their
flame scared thresholds. In order that
domestic happiness, domestic well-be-
Ing may exist in the home. there must
dwell some very commonplace we'll
known virtues patience, kindness, gem
erosity, humility, courtesy, unselfisl-
ness, gcod-temIer. guilelessness, and
sincerity.
But these are spiritual gifts Whence
come they? When this question is an
sweied, then the problem before us Is
solved. Many moralists. many spirit
ual teachers have considered these vir-
tues and their source, but one has spok-
en- authoritively, convincingly, and
comprehensively-the Apostle Paul, In
his Epistle to the Corinthians when he
consider love and analyses 1t. Con-
cerning which analysis, Henry Drum
mond, the author and lecturer, scientist
and theologian says: "As you have
seen man of science take a beam of
light and pass 1t through a crystal
prism, as you have seen 1t come out
on the other side Of the prism broken
up into its component colors-red. blue.
Yellow violet and orange, ana all the
colors Of the rainbow; SO Paul paused
love through the magnificent prism Of
his inspired intellect and It comes out
on the other side broken up into it's
elements. In these few words we have
what one might call the spectrum Of
love. Will you observe what Its elements
are, will you notice that they have COM
mon names, that they are virtues which
we hear about every day" Paul says
Love suffereth long which is pu-
tience, "and is kind" which is kindness.
love envieth not" which is generosity,
love vaunteth not herself, is not puffed
up" which is humility, "does not be-
have herself unseemly." which is court
esy, "seeketh not her own" which is
unselfishness, ''is not easily provoked"
which is good temper, ''thinketh no
evil" which is guilelessness "rejolceth
not in iniquity. but rejoiceth In the
truth" which is sincerity.
Love then. is found to be the source Of
these commonplace virtues whose or
gin we have sought.-Love, which

greatest thing in the world. In educa-
