THINGS TO BE REMEM-
BERED.

A young man should remember that
whatever else he may strive to be, he
must, first of all, be absolutely honest.
From honorable principles he can never
swerve. A temporary success is often
possible on what are not exactly dis
honest, but SHADY" lines; but such
success is only temporary, with a
certainty of permanent loss. The
surest business successes-yes, the
only successes worth the making-are
built upon honest foundations. There
can be no blinking" at the truth or at
honesty, no halfway compromise.
There is but one way to be successful,
and that is to be absolutely honest
Honesty is not only the foundation,
but the copestone as we'll, of business
success.
He must be alert, alive to every op-
portunity. He cannot afford to lose
single point; for single point might
prove the very link that would make
complete the whole chain of business
success.
He must ever be willing to learn,
never overlooking the fact that others
have long ago forgotten what he has
still to learn. Firmness of decision is
an admirable trait in business. The
young man whose opinions can be
tossed from one side to another is poor
material. But youth is full of errors,
and caution is strong trait.
If he be wise, he will entirely avoid
the use of liquors. If the question Of
harm done by Intoxicating liquor is an
open one, the question of actual good
derived from it is not.
Let him remember that young
mans strongest recommendation is his
responsibility. Some young men, ap-
parently successful, may be flashy in
dress, loud in manner, and disrespect-
full of women or sacred things. But
the young man who is respectable
always wears the best. The way a
young man carries himself in private
business career. No matter where he
is, or in whose company, responsibility
and all that it implies will always
command respect. And if any man
wishes set of rules even more concise
here tits;
Get into business you like.
Devote yourself to it.
Re honest in everything
Employ caution; think out thing
we'll before you enter uponit.
Sleep eight hours every night.
Do everything that means keeping
in good health.
School yourself not to worry; worry
kills, work doesn't.
Avoid liquors, of all kinds.
If you must smoke, smoke mOder
; ately.
Shun discussion on two pOints-re
ligion and politics.
And lastly, but not least, marry a
true woman, and have your own home
; Edward Box.

THAT gifted American author,
Albion w. Tourgee, in his latest and
best work, "A Christian Socialist asks
Modern Christianity some very pointed
questions regarding the faith that is in
it, and among others the following:
How is it that the church of today has
to do only with the Christ after his resur-
rection from the tomb? Why is it that
we never hear mention made of the
three and thirty years that preceded
this glorious event? Surely they could
not have been barren years! And if
history errs not, in the twelve-month
that Immediately antedates His death,
He posed as what, in our own day, we
would designate tramp, wandering
from place to place, begging sustenance,
and preaching seditious doctrine-an
out and out anarchist. if history ever
painted one. Why is this interesting
detail in the God-man's earthly career
so painstakingly eliminated from his
biography? The answer in the authors
words is because the modern church
cannot tolerate any character so little
in harmony with it's own social sur
roundings. How entirely out of place,
inconsistent and outre would not the
tramp of Galilee's wayside look seated
in one of those plush-upholstered pews!
Modern Christions are willing to &C
cept Christ if he be becomingly ap
pareled, that is rObed in the glory that
his resurrection gave-but with the
garb Of poverty he previously wore
they will have nothing to do. Tramps
are not admitted into the church of the
Golden Lilies; their place is in the
little chapel down the street.
The book is we'll written, the story
truthfully told, and the author in writ
ing it has added another branch to his
laurel crown; but we fear that the sue
cessful issue to which it is brought
the triumph of truth over sham and
hypocricy-are premature; our day will
never see the realization, and we doubt
if it be accorded to any future less re-
mote than the millennium.

The Madonna and Child in Christian
art, by Archdeacon Farrar, in McClures
Magazine for December, is we'll worth
the careful study of the lover of the,
beautiful in Christian art. Among
other things he says:
The Virgin Mary occupies a vast
space in Christian art, andis inseparably
mixed up with her Divine Son as an
object of alteration in thousands of
paintings executed between the cul-
mination of Byzantinism and the Re-
formation. This fact alone shows how
completely and unconsciously the art
of an epoch is the reflection of it's beliefs
Very little is told us in the Gospels,
and nothing elswhere in the New
Testament, about the Virgin Mary; but
as the Christian ages advanced, she re-
ceived greater and greater prominence
in the thoughts of Christians. The
apocryphal Gospels have many legends,
about her. The devotion with which
she was regarded assumed special
development in the fourth and fifth
centuries.
If we can rightly appreciated the merits
and defects of the chief schools and the
chief painters in the representation Of
the Madonna and Child. we shall have
gained no insignificant glimpse into the
functions and the history of art. And
that for two reasons:
1. In the first place, it was sort
of test subject. 1t evidenced alike the
religious feelings of individual painters,
and the highest reach to which they
could attain. For the Virgin is the
human mother of Him who was the
Word of God; and in painting the
Virgin and Child the painter tried to
show all that he could achieve in the
expression of humanity at it's loveliest,
and of the divine in human form.
Even if the inspiration of deep religious
feeling is absent from the rendering of
such subject, the painting must, at
the verp lowest, express the sanctity of
motherhood and the innocence of in
fancy; and to do this, and nothing more,
may we'll tax the powers of the most
consummate genius.
2. In the second place, in every
new Madonna, the painter not only
challenged comparison with himself,
and with all his contemporaries, but
with generations of artists during
many centuries. Thus as Gruyer says
in his admirable work, Les Vierges de
Raphael, "legions of painters are re-
united under the banner of Raphael.
His Virgins are the sovereign expression
of a religious idea, necessarily pursued
not only during the two centuries of
the Renaissance (the fourteeth and
fifteenth) but also by all the Christian
generations, from the Catacombs down
to Giotto." We find "Madonnas'' from
the second (?) to the fifth century,.
They become rare from that time till
the thirteenth, but were produced by
hundreds between 1894 and 1923. The
manner in which the subject is treated
marks every improvement of process,
every change of conception, every
powerful influence of individuality,
every ripple on the deep ocean of re-
| ligiOus life.
