tied to believers. Asceticism is not re-
ligion; nor is religion asceticism. Men
have thought so in the past, but intel
ligent readers Of Gods word know that
salvation is not conditional on physical
penance, or personal isolation, or self
imposed suffering of any kind. 1t Is de-
nying the efficacy OF Christ's atone
ment to offer the sacrifices Of an an
chorite or the lashings of aagellant,
either as the price of pardon or OF In
creased holiness. Here and there great
heroic soul, made for some great SER
vice, may renounce those things that
alleviate the hardness of life that others
may be helped, but such remuneration
Is not required Of the multitude.

littloness in themselves. and yet they

Words of Cheer.

Words of cheer are words of help.
Words OF gloom are words OF harm.
There is bright side and a dark side
to every phase Of life and TO every hour
ef time. If we speak of the bright side
we bring the brightness into promi-
'nence; If we speak OF the dark side we
deepen its shadows. 1t is in our power
to help or to hinder by word any and
every person whom we are with. II we
see look of help or Of hope in the face
of an acquaintance whom we casually
meet, and we tell him so, he goes on his
way with new life in his veins. If We
see a look Of failing strength and OF
heaviness Of heart in one to whom we
speak, and we emphasize the fact that
he looks poorly, we give him push
downward as our contribution to the
forces which affect his course. A look
or word can help or can harm our
fellows. 1t Is for us to give cheer or
gloom as we pass on our way in life;
and we are responsible for the results
of our influence accordingly.

Rest to the Weary.

Whatever evils day hath done,
Whatever souls have suffered wrong,
Whatever woes the falling sun
Will leave TO darkness to prolong.
Thou art a dream of beauty, Even!
Thou art dover to lonely eyes.
Thou art an evanescent heaven,
Descending through the languid skies.
Thou bringest rest to weary strife,
And tears to eyes that longed to weep;
Thou bring'st hush to weary life,
A calm that deepens on to sleep.

The Cost of Joy.

The cost of Joy is joy; for In the sea
A brook no longer may an idler be;
The ocean lifts her ships and bears
them on
Our sweet old hillside troubadour Is
gone.
The cost OF joy is Joy; June brings
the rose;
But clad in tears the violet SPRING
time goes;
The rose of passion, with her hot, red
breath,
Is loves first silent messenger to
death
The cost of 10y is joy; suns fright the
moon;
The rainbow hope dissolves in truths
high noon;
To-day costs yesterday in heart and
brain
immortal life, the sum of earthly gain.

LOVING TOO LATE.

Common Enough Story Portrays n
Pathetic Moral.
Not long ago / met young lady In
poverty whom had previously known
in wealth, and this was, in substance,
the story she told me: Father died
suddenly in Washington, and the pro-
fessional skill through which he had
coined money for US died with him. I
am not weeping because we are poor.
/ am broken-hearted because none OF
US saw that he was dying. Was 1t not
pitiful that he should think 1t best not
to tell any of us that he was sick? And
/, his petted daughter, though I knew
he was taking opium to soothe his great
pain, was so absorbed by my lovers,
my games and my dresses, that I just
hoped it would all come right. If
could only remember that even once I
had pltied his suffering or felt anxious
about his life, I might bear his loss
better!'
The story is common enough. Many
a father, year after yer, goes in and
out of his home carrying the burden
and doing the labor of life, while those
whom he tenderly loves hold with ut
careless hands all of honor and gold
he wins by toll and pain. Then some
day his head and hands can work no
morei And the hearts that have not
learned the great lesson of unselhsh
love While love was their teacher must
now begin their sad duty when love
has left them alone forever.

object In the long, wide stretch of coun-
try held his attention.
From the western end Of the hut was
something suspended about half way
up it's height. 1t might be, as his ia
Their had said, merely worthless bun
die of no interest, but he could not
drive the belief from his mind that 1t
was possessed of life. He fancied that
he saw 1t move, and once, as he gazed
through the glass, he was almost GER
tain that white imploring face had
been brought close to his own. This
haunting vision was constantly before
him as he and his father went into
camp on the bank of n beautiful
stream, and the tired horses clipped
with keen relish the long, sweet grass
carpeting the valley.
Finding he could not swerve his ia
Their from his unbelief, he tried to for
get all about it, and an hour later both
of them had lain down under their
blankets for a nights sleep.
1t must have been near midnight
when Harry awoke with a start in the
midst of a dream that caused him to
spring to his feet with low cry of ter
ror. He thought he had been to the old
hut, to find there little girl suffering
untold agony from being hung by a
rope from the miserable abode, while
dozen flends IN human shape danced
about her.
His father was fast asleep. while the
horses, having eaten their I'LL of the
grass, stood quietly rodding a short
distance away. The very silence of
the lonely scene made his dream stand
out more real and terrifying. Unable
to sleep, he walked down to the side of
his horse, and almost before he knew IL
he was putting the saddle on its back.
"It won't take long to ride over
there" he thought, land will be back
before father wakes. II keep a sharp
lookout no harm can arise from my
Tip. 1t would be so satisfying to know
the truth"
Being careful to fix the direction In
his mind, Harry rode silently on his
lonely journey, which, had he dreamed
was going to prove so long, he would
never have ventured TO undertake.

Christian perfection.

BE We perfect, as your heavenly
father is perfect"
A Christians duty is to seek after
perfection, which may only be attained
by continual and patient striving to do
the will of God.
The spirit of the age Is Indifference,
both in things moral and spiritual;
either a man ignores Christianity al
together, or he becomes so lukewarm
that he eventually degenerates into
atheism.
Then, again, there Is so much strife
between the numerous sects, and so lit
tie charity displayed among the vari-
Gus religious bodies that we look In
vain for the true guiding spirit and
fail to realize that Jesus Christ Is their
model
Yet this is far from the original in
tention of the Redeemer who, when
He was in the world, continually
preached the doctrine of peace and
love, and whose every action displayed
the sweetness of true fraternal char
ity. The gospels breathe with the love
of Jesus Christ and tell of the won
drous sweetness of His life and work
and His great desire for peace. In
fact, He insists so much upon this spir-
1t OF peace being practiced in His
church, that He is compelled to rebuke
the apostles who contended among
themselves who would be the greatest
in the kingdom of heaven. and told
them that he that is greatest among
you shall be your servant, thus instill-
ing into .heir hearts the great prin-
ciple of His religion.
The true secret of Christian perfec-
ton is humility; 1t is the cardinal vir-
tue; on it depends all our hope and
through it alone can we expect to re-
ceive the grace to become perfect
Christians. He that humbleth him
self shall be exalted" says Jesus
Christ, and this maxim is the keynote
of Christians life, for by practicing
this noble virtue all other virtues flow
naturally and as a matter of course
into the soul, as God despises the
proud heart and giveth His grace to
the humble.
