The Profit of Many.

Our conduct must be limited, to a
certain extent regulated, by the narrow
mindedness, the scruples, the preju-
dices, the weakness, in short, of others.
We cannot say: &C. see my way to do
so and so, let my friend think what he
pleases; l am not to be trameled by
his superstition or ignorance; let my
conduct have what effect it will on him;
l am not responsible for that; if he
does not see it to be right, l do, and
will act accordingly" We cannot
speakIthus if the matter be Indifferent;
if it be matter we can lawfully abstain
from, then abstain we must, if we
would follow the apostle who followed
Christ. Nothing shows us more dis
tjnctly the thorough manner in which
St. Paul partook of the spirit of Christ
than his ability to say: 81 please all
men in all things, not seeking mine own
profit, but the profit of many, that they
may be saved. Be We followers of
me, even as l also am of Christi

Precious Helps.

Do we turn for satisfaction to our
human relationships? They are among
our most precious and holy helps. But
our fitness to live with Others, or to get
the good of living with others, depends
chiefly on our fitness to live alone. We
must be, in order to do; we must have
wisdom and love, in order to give
them; we must be just before we can
put rectitude into conduct. We cannot
even speak the truth, as it deserves to
be spoken, unless we are true. A wise
pagan says, =" How much sincere life
the gods exact before we can speak a
sincere wordl"-C. j. Ames.

IN GENERAL,
Little Brown Hands.

They drive home the cows from the pasture,
Up through the long, shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud In the wheat.field
All yellow with ripening grain.
They find in the thick waving grasses
Where the scarlet-tipped strawberry grows;
They gather the earliest snowdrops
And the first crimson buds of the rose.
They toss the hay in the meadow,
They gather the elder blooms white,
They find where the dusky grapes purple
In the soft tinted autumn light
They know where the apples hang ripest,
Andar sweeter than ltaly's wines;
They know where the frnt Is the ,hickest
on the long, thorny blackberry vines
They gather the delicate seaweed
And build tiny castles on the sandi
They pick up the beautiful seabells-
Fairy banks that have dritted to land
Those who toll bravest are STRONGEST
The humble and the Joor become great;
And from those brown handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.
The pen of the author and statesman,
The noble and wise of our land;
The sword and the chisel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown hand.
-ErchaDOe.

Lens Cleaning,

One of the first things which the
owner of lens, either of a telescope
or of Photographic camera, wants
to know, is how to clean it. Mere

found any opinions forbidding that

climate a lens will get considerably
blurred with tilmy accumulations
