A Boys Love for His Mother.

Of all the love affairs in the world
none can surpass the true love of big
boy for his mother. 1t is pure and
noble, honorable to the highest degree
in both. | do not mean merely duti-
full affection, mean love that makes
boy gallant and courteous to his
mother, saying to everybody plainly
that he is fairly in love with her. Next
to the love of hus band, nothing 30
crowns a woman's life with honor as
this second love, this devotion of a son
to her. l never yet knew boy to
turn out bad who began by falling in
love with his mother. Any man may
fall in love with fresh-faced girl, and
the man who is gallant with the girl
may cruelty neglect his worn and weary
wife, but the boy who is lover of his
mother in her middle and old age is a
true knight, who will love his wife as
much in her sere-leaved Autumn as he
did in the dashed Springtime. Woman's

Salt Saves.

In nearly every chul CHI there may be
some members who-like old ''receiv-
ing ships in navy yards-are dry-rot-
ted with love of the world. They lie
moulded at the dock of Journalism, and
present an orthodox appearance. If
sent to sea, and struck by gale, they
smash into utter wreck. There is a
certain sense in which every Christian
should love the people of the world as
Christ did when He died to save them,
or as Paul did when he consecrated
himself to bring the world to Christ.
But in trying to draw the world up to-
wards God, we must beware lest it drag
us down into sinful conformtes with
its habits, its pursuits, aud its practices.
1t is not love for sinners souls, but love
for sins, that endangers Christian
character. Christians were put into
the atmosphere of this world to purify
it, and not to be poisoned by it. Eye
are the salt of the EARTH" says Jesus
TO his followers. But if Christians do
not salt the world, then the world will
soon rot them through and through

Gain of Darkness and Cold.

Darkness and cold, night and winter,
are as important, in their place, as light
and warmth, MONDAY and summer.
Life would be uncomfortable with never
shadow or a chill. Glazing light and
burning heat would shrivel and destroy,
if it were not for The relief of GOODNESS
and shade. This is as true in the spirit
ual life as in the natural. When we
find ourselves in the shadow Of great
sorrow, or in the chiliness of a bitter
disappointment, we should know, even
though it be hard to fe ell, that il is Gods
love hat has permitte ed this, and that
we have cause for gra tilude that he who
has led us in this way will sus ain us
while there, ard will bring us out be-

The Percentage of WrOngdOers.

| crossed on one of the big Atlantic
liners lately with five hundred other
saloon passengers. They were naturally
people of intelligence, and presumably
Of easy circumstances. Yet at least
half of those people were planning to
rob our government of money by con-
irving plans to avoid paying duties
truly owed. To do this all of them had
% break our laws, and in most cases
had in addition to lie deliberately.
Many of them were planning to ac--
complish this theft by the bribery OF
the custom house inspectors, thus not
merely making themselves thieves, but
bribing other men TO do wrong. In
this city | can show you blocks 80
densely inhabited that they are an
election district themselves, blocks in
which twenty people live and sleep in
single room year alter year, where
the birth of little life into the world
means that all must eat less and be less
warm. But | cannot find in
the poorest and vilest parts of the city
any block where the percentage of liars
and thieves aud bribegivers is as large

A Word i'm Season.

Theodore L. Cuyler tells this: "As
l recall my own ministerial experience,
l can testify that nearly all the convert
ing work done has been done by per-
sonal contact with souls. For example,
l once recognized 10 the congregation
new conner, and at my first visit to his
house was strongly drawn to him as
very noble. hearted, manly character.
A long talk with him seemed to pro-
duce little impression, but before l left
he took me up stairs to see his three or
four rosy children in their cribs. AS
we stood looking at the sweet cherubs,
l said to him: My friend, what sort
of a father are you going to be to these
children? Are you going to lead them
toward heaven, or-the other way?'
That arrow lodged. AT our next COM
muniOn season he was at the Masters
table, and he soon became most use
full officer in the church. There is an
unbolted door in about everybody

us where to find it,"
