they put everybody under constraint and
create a cold and cautious atmosphere in
which the chances OF imaginary oilenses
are indefinitely increased. Take them IN
the church they occupy precious time
and exhaust strength which should be
used in promoting the good cause, and
force pastor and officers TO cuddle and
manage" them. Sometimes il is tenn
permanent, oftener 1t is indigestion. or an
undue sense OF self-importance. which IS
manifested in loneliness. With the
best intentions in the wOrld innocent
people find their loquacity or
their taciturnity, as the case may be
tortured into insult by these "touchy"
nuisances Their life is nightmared by
their jealousies and suspicious; work is
hindered, and honest folks are kept busy
in repairing the mistakes OF this wrong
headed and wrong-hearted class. Don't
be "touchy."
AS our body casts a shadow, so does Qua
character cast an influence. As a shadow

Dependency is not q state OF humility.
On the contrary it Is the vexation and

We fall we must only think of rising again

Christ Froebel taught as his most essen
tial principle that all the faculties must
be developed by self activity. His chief
merit Law. not in his having insisted on
self activity, for that had been urged be-
fore, but in his recognition OF those Rspi-
rations which make man a religious being.
He held that to get full-orbed man it is
not enough to train his body and his rea-
con his religious nature, as well, must be
developed and accordingly in the kinder

The Rev. DR.. Paton of the New Hebri-
des, to whom We referred last week. has
gone to Washington on a peculiar errand
to pursuade our government to join
France and England in suppressing the
trade in firearms, intoxicants and opium
in the Pacific islands. Think of it! ex-

In the Contemporary Rerie1U there is an
interesting article by the poets niece and
words on Tennyson's religion. The lady
reports him as saying on one occasion that
1.-THE spread of agnosticism and unbelief of
al kinds seems to show that there is an
evil time at hand. II God were to with
draw Himself from the world around us
and within US but for an instant every
atom of creation, both animate and mani
mate, would come utterly to nsught. for
in Him alone do all beings and things ex-
ist."
Again, in referring TO Jesus, Tennyson
said: I'VE are all sons OF God, but one
alone is worthy to be called the Son of
man, the representative of the whole of
humanity That, to my mind. is the di-
viner title of the two. for none dare 10 APP
ply to himself this title save Jesus Christ"
And the writer of the article asserts that
it distressed TenDyson exceedingly to have
the divinity of Christ assailed.
There is nothing specially new in this
expose. for Tennyson's poetry is stepped
in the Christian spirit, and his reverence
and faith and belief in prayer are mani
ested on every page.
