Inspired Statements.

A double-minded man is unstable In
all his ways.
To him that knoweth to Go good, and
doeth 1t not, to him 1t is sin.
AS the body without the spirit Is
Gead, so faith without works is dead
also.
The trying of your faith worketh pc
thence.
Every good gift and every perfect gil;
Is from above.
If any man among you seem to be re-
ligious, and bridleth not his tongue,
this mans religion Is vain.
Pure religion and indebted before
God and the Father Is this, to visit the
fatherless and windows in their al
fiction, and to keep himself unspottec
from the world.
whatsoever shall keep the whole law,
and yet offend in one point. he Is guilty
of all.

Ought pastors to be criticised? Yes,
often, for they are human beings in the
flesh like the balance OF us, and liable
to go wrong, but we, too, are liable TO
go wrong, perhaps little more so than
the pastors. for they are apt to be more
watchful; so we may often think the
pastor is doing wrong when he is doing
right, and thus do him great injustice
In our hearts. There is but one safe
remedy when you think the pastor has
done wrong: keep your mouth shut,
lips sealed, get into your closet as quick
as possible. close the door, get right
down on your knees and criticise him

Tremendous Prices

1t is astonishing what tremendous
prices we sometimes pay for things that
add no permanent value to us. We pay
for our follies, our carelssness, our is
norance, our tempers and our wrongs.
We do a great many thing. in our so
cial life that cost us ten times what
they are worth. If a business man
should make similar transactions he
would be called an idiot. True values
increase in just proportion. You can
have just what you pay for. But you
cannot have woolens when you only
pay for cottons. You cannot have
health when you simply pay for In
diligence. And there is no short cut to
become a thorough gentleman nor al
accomplished and true-hearted woman.

Manage? What is that? Does 1t

We use our superior human intellect to
control and guide his superior physical
strength, so as to obtain the best re-
suits. But a wife is not a horse.
Where two persons are we'll married,
the wife is superior to her husband in
as many respects as he Is superior to
her in others. II happiness is to be the
result Of the union. the first business
of the husband is to manage himself so
as to keep himself always his wife's
lover, always her equal partner, always
her superior protector. This will nee
essarily stimulate the wife to be al
ways an admiring friend, always an
affectionate sweetheart, always thrift
ty housewife, always confiding ward.
And this will SO react upon her hus-
band that his love for his wife will
grow so as to make 1t easy for the
husband, with all his faults. TO bear

When God Leads All Is Well

oou al IN we'll
q will lead them in paths that they
have not known.-Isa. 42:1G.)
There is something comforting in the
thought that we are not going through
this world at random, like a stone roll
ing down hill, but that our days are
numbered, and our lives decided ac-
cording to plan made in heaven. Moth
ing will give such peace and rest in the
midst of trials and perplexities as to
remember that God is guiding us with
his eye, and that he will decide when,
where and by what means we are to be
carried home when our work is fin
ished. He knows what kind of char
lot 1t will be best to send for us, and
when the day arrives he will see that
IL comes to meet US. The conscious
ness that our lives are according to
Gods plan, and not according to our
own, ought to give us constant peace
and joy, no matter where or how we
may have to live. The great thought
with us should constantly be, that God
lives and reigns, and has promised that
all things shall work together for good
to them that love him, and so instead of
being vexed and perplexed when we
cannot have our own way, or of begin
ming TO backslide whenever things do
not go to suit us, we should find rest in
believing that God is still for US and
with us, and that everything Is bound
to come out all right, because he has
promised that it shall. Only where
there is perfect trust can there be per-
feet peace.

"rhe Best Friend to Have Ia jesus

"The Best Friend to Have IL Jesus"
"It is better to trust in the Lord than
to put confidence In man."
Better, because Gods mercy for us
will never wear out. It endures for
ever.
1t is better to trust God, because he
loves us better. Nothing Is so trust
worthy as love.
We should trust in God first, and then
II others fail us we shall not be desolate.
1t is sometimes a misfortune to trust
in men, but always blessing to trust
in God.
Men can help us out of some of our
troubles, but God can help us out OF
all of them.
Those who would help us are not al
ways able to do 1t. God Is able to do
more than we ask or think.
Our friends will sometimes help us,
when 1t would be better for us to help
ourselves God will only give us help
such as will be real help.
1t is only by trusting God that we
can reach our highest best.
Every man who is not trusting God Is
trusting In some man. II may be IN
himself.
When we trust and are not disap-
pointed, we love that in which we trust.
Make a safe voyage in a steamship. and
you will ever afterward love 1t. Trust

AS soon as the fire goes down 1t will

The main reason why there are so

cause they never intended to take more
