Our safety is in having lofty ideals
and in constant labor to secure their
realization. Let the getting Of money
be a mans ideal, and he will Of nee
essity grow toward dust-Pdrker
The only joys that live and grow
are those we share with others,
II ia an old proverb that he who
aims at the sun, to be sure will not
reach il, hut his arrow will fly higher
than II be aimed 1t at an object on q
level with himself. -HdtUes

A LESSON EACH HOUR.

There are 80 many lessons of the
hour to learn, in the line OF duty, thai
we often grumble and Chafe at the
uncongenlsl occupation. There are
some who refuse to believe that the
real and the ideal could be blended
successfully in every day life, and
will also insist that discomfort and
more grumbling will follow in trying
to harmonizs the two, to 80 many,
duty, means only work. Work in its
most ungsrnished form OF hard physi-
cal labor, the duty of delight they
know nothing Of, such persons usual
ly have lines of care on their faces
and an hsbitual expression of endur.
anCe. They cannot bring inspiration
to brighten those unconRenisl occu-
pations, which we poor mortals, every
one of us, are called upon TO labor at
some time, it is also true, that some
labors afford more of that agreeable
ness to LIES enjoyment than do
others, but we need not refuse to be
comforted because we had not the
choosing. 1t sweetens duty to have a
pride in it's performance and strength.
ems character IN making a cheerful
endeavor. Cheerfulness creates a re-
captivity Of spirit, and so gradually
dswns conviction, that cultivated,
will in time place the iGnominous
duty above those sordid circumstances
which cling, so tenaciously to that
one little word. The circumstances
Of life do not greatly alter, but the
point of view determines our relation
to them, being influenced by feeling
and character. These two are the
subtle influences iu a home that re-
qulre direction and moulding in con-
junction with the common duties and
of the hour. For US
older children our separate occupa-
lions are as a kindergarten, where we
may incorporate great life principles
with the meanest details of labor. If
this conviction be accepted, the mind
grows receptive of the deeper mean
ings Of life, and is quickened to &C.
tive and loving fultillment of duty.
It is also false logic to reason that
cultivation of the higher life creates
antagonism to the more common
forms of duty. It comes more through
q confusion Of the terms of pleasure
and happiness, Some one has SAID,
that pleasure rs produced by outside
agencies; happiness comes from with
in and is independent Of circum-
stances. 1t is of the spirit and itp
is its own reward, since by
it's own peculiar power it attracts 10
itself all that is hsppiest and best
from every source" The higher rea-
lization Of life comes always through
the work entrusted to us, be its nature
what 1t may, when we recognize our
true relation to it. Life grows more
beautiful aud gracious quality is in
fused into every act, so that the
merest routine work is TRANSPORTED

missionary to work among the Yeta
thbe pariahs OF this land, degraded
people Of uncertain origin scattered
through the Japanese islands. The
japanese hold them in utter con-
tempt, and they have suffered a good
deal Of oppression. Buddhism shuts
them out from all hopes Of a future
life.

In the region of Lake Victoria
Nysnza there are 10000 christian
natives with 200 churches. They are
enthusiastic converts and would spend
their last penny for bible. Eighteen
years ago there was not even a mis-

In Brazil the largest country OF
South America, with a population Of
sixteen millions, there is said to be
only one missionary to every $4,000
souls.

MABEL II PoMERoY, EDITOR,
Tho Women Of Ammonia

Since the sulferiDgs and misfortune
Of the Armenians have turned the
eyes OF the world upon the christian
people Of Asia Minor, description OF
Armenian women by one OF them,
Margaret Melik Bulgarian is inter-
esting. Everything you see in an
Armenian house." she said, in recent
lecture, has been made by the women.
The cotton from which the Armenian
woman makes clothes comes to her in
the raw. To obtain silk she must
raise silkworms. The colors used in
dyeing she prepares from plants OF
the forest and field, and thus the
brightly colored garments and hand
some rugs and hangings for which
Armenia is noted are produced, The
men have nothing to do with all this.
On the other hand, the Armenian
women are free from all work requir-
ing great physical exertion, The
men cut wood and carry loads, The
men, too, knead the bread. II a
woman is described as one whose life
is full Of hardships, the ATmenians
say, poor thing! she must knead
bread" or she has her hands in the
dough, even in the poorest families
the girls are regularly spoiled. The
parents may be starving, but they
take care of the daughters. A girl,
they say, IS like rosebud, and can
not develop into full bloom without
much care. To the Armenian woman
The brother is veritable Knight and
guardian angel. As long as she has
brother an Armenian woman is Cer-
tain she shall not want. The An
menian says, my wife knows that 1
belong to her; but to my sister l must
show devotion" Hence the blessing
to girl cannot take higher fern
than this. MAY God protect Thy
brotherT The Armenian girl re-
ceives no dowry; indeed, the BRIDE
groom must contribute to the we'd
ding expenses and furnish the bridal
dress. Armenian girls are not forced
into marriage, although the parents
often choose husband for their
daughter when she is still very young.
In her home the Armenian wife and
mother rules supreme; even the grown
son will do nothing without her con-
sent .-Den1OreSt.
