By the Most Positive Knowledge.

AS surely and as truly as Naaman
knew God by the cleansing of his lep-
rosy, may a man know God today by
what takes place in himself. AS posi-
lively as the Syrian knew that his flesh
had been changed by supernatural
means, may a man know that his heart
has been changed by the same power.
In an instant he finds thai all bitter
ness has been destroyed; that he hates
no one, not even his bitterest enemy.
He knows that he now loves everybody
and has nothing but good Will in his
heart for all men. Things ike this are
not imaginary, but are as real as any
thing in human experience. Neither are
they exceptional, but have been at
tested by millions. And no matter
where the conversation takes place, the
result is the same, whether in refined
society, or in the heart of Africa. En-
nifty is slain and love is born, and graf
itude to God springs up in the heart.
because the burden of sin that was like
a crushing weight, is gone. Therefore,
every man who knows God, knows him
because he knows that a work has been
wrought in his heart that only God
could work. knowledge of God is the
most positive and convincing knowl-
edge known to human life.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1895-11-08
Her H.ppy Hour.

A touching instance, which reveals
the only source Of real happiness in life,
was once related by a well-known evan
gelist as follows:
A gentleman who had been educated
among fashionable people and had be-
come a minister, was recently at dinner
where he met one of his former ac-
quaintances, a lady whom he had not
seen in years. She spoke to him jest
ingly of his having become a minister
of the gospel, and said: Il should
think you would find it exceedingly
stupid; | do not see how you can bear
to lead such a life" He turned to her
and said: 81 should think you would
be the one who would find life stupid,
and should think you would find your
existence almost intolerable." He said
that ever at the table her face flushed,
and he saw tears gathering in her eyes,
For some time she did not make any
reply. A little later, however, she
sought him in another room and said:
You were right in what you thought
about my life; it is almost intolerable,
and would be wholly SO except for the
visits that l pay the Children's Hos
pital once a week. I dress myself IN
my brightest gown and take some of
my most valuable jewels, and without
telling anyone where l am going, l
drive to the Children's Hospital and
there try to amuse the suffering little
ones for an hour. This" she said, sis
the n thing that makes my life worth
living"
1t is a sure balm for the healing Of
all unrest and discomfort, that Il
should give himself to the alienation
of the woes of others.
