AS soon as we lay ourselves entirely
at His feet, we have enough light given
us to guide our own steps, as the foot
soldier, who hears nothing of the coun'
ellis that determine the course OF the
great battle he is in, hears plainly
enough the word of command which he
must himself obey.-George Eliot.
As love is the life of faith, SO, with
the increase of love, faith increases.
Even from man towards man faith and
love grow together. The more we love
the more we understand and trust each
other.-Dr. Pussy.

Sins of Extravaganza.

There are more ways of being extrav-
agant than by spending money, writes
Ruth Ashmore in the December Ladies'
Home journal. Extravaganza in speech
is IA common fault. Something is seer
and when it is described later on il
would scarcely be recognized by any
other looker-on. EXtravagant words
have been used, the situation has been
made dramatic and what was an ordina'
nv, everyday occurrence is, by extrava-
CANT language, made to seem something
of great importance.
