We Cannot Escape the Responsibility,
Try as We VIII. .
After all, we are our brothers keep
ers, though a Cainic society has been
denying it ever since the first murder.
We are put into one another's custody
in this world; here, where so many
things are in doubt, this is unquestion-
able. Up to the present time our no.
ton Of a custodian has been some sort
OF Jailer. Society really provides no
other for the weaker brethren. We i'm
prison people whom we find wandering
about without q home; we imprison
utter poverty; we .imprison hopeless
misfortune We may not all of us
think that a very fine thing; but we
have to draw Il line somewhere, and
If we are brought to book about it, we
shrug and ask, what are we to do? Are
we to give tramps a decent lodging /?
Are we to secure to poverty the means
Of livelihood? Are we to succor mis-
fortune without shutting it up and put
ting it to shame? gh a-& a Il
These questions, which are of our
own asking, must be of our own an
swerinS- 1t is not that misery is grow
ing, bus that it is growing intolerable,
il not to the sufferer, then to the wit
ness. We have come a certain way
toward humanity, and it seems to be
the parting of the ways. One path will
lead us onward to the light; the other
will lead us roundabout and back to
the darkness we came out of. In this
age man denies the claim of humanity
with much greater risk to himself than
formerly. He is in danger of truly be-
coming devil; not the sort with horns
md hoofs and forked tails, who were
poor harmless fellows at the worst,
but the sort of devil who acts upon the
belief that every man must take care
of himself.
That is the belief which society, as
whole, acts upon now, as far as it can;
hut personally we are each more or
less ashamed of it, and reject it more
or less openly. 1t is the rule of bust
ness, but it is not the rule of life; be-
cause it is in the experience of every
living soul that men cannot take care
of themselves.
1t is not yet so apparent to us all that
men must take care of one another;
but in the history of the race that is
the most obvious lesson. The stronger
man must take care of the weaker,
as his jailer, on the old lines, and in
conformity to the ideals of the stone
age in political economy; or else he
must take care of him as his brother.

A LocOmotiye's Queer Load.

One can never predict exactly what
will be the result of railroad collision.
Sometimes the wrecked cars are piled
up in an astonishing heap; sometimes
they are telescoped; sometimes they
are turned over and over, or twisted
crosswise on the track, or stood up on
end, as baggageman loves to stand a
trunk. But perhaps the queerest of all
accidents of this kind occurred recently
at Towanda, Pa, where n locomotive
drawing a train at full speed ran into
three box cars standing on the track.
One of these cars was lifted bodily, and
almost uninjured, on top of the loco
motive, smashing the smokestack and
part of the cab. Thee it remained firm
ly in place, and the locomotive carried it
to the town of Waverly, near by, where
ID photograph was made, showing the
car on its lofty perch. -, Scientific

BLESSING OF THE MERc!FUL.

blessed are the merciful, for they shall
obtain mercy.-Matt. 5:7.''
The merciful themselves receive
As they to others mercy give;
As God for each Of us hath care,
SO He commands that thou shoulds't be
To others as He is to thee
II thou would His rich mercy share
Who give themselves for others gain
The greater good shall they attain;
Who pity have for human woe,
Or healing balm for others grief,
For others comfort and relief,
Shall mercy reap as they bestow.
Compassion for another's woes
To them and us bring sweet repose;
When others troubles we begin
To bear, and care for those in need,
We find the pit from which they're freed
The grave our own are buried in.
1t Is In giving we receive:
BY sacrifice we truly live
Not much or little we attain,
But generous use of 1t we make
For others and the Masters sake
Atheists for us our loss or gain.
Gods rich abundant mercy flows
To whatsoever mercy shows,
And Christ, the merciful. makes
known
That they who shall the needy give,
Or who for good of others live.
Shall share in blessing with His own.

CRYSTALS OF TRUTH.

1T doesn't take much money to
make good man rich.-Ram's Horn.
The false man is more untrue to
himself than to anyone else.-Chicago
Standard.
The epochs of our life are not in
the visible facts, but in the silent
thoughts of the wayside as we walk
Emerson.
Man is the child of promise, the
heir of the ages and the heir apparent
OF the divine glory.-Rev. c. L. Thomp-
son.
Fidelity wins in the long run. It
may be unappreciated for the moment.
but when the master comes it will be
rewarded amply.-S. S. Times.
We often live under cloud, and
it is well for us that we should do so.
Uninterrupted sunshine would parch
our hearts; we want shade and rain
to cool and refesh them.-Hare.
We need to guard against our "easi-
ly besetting SINS" but sometimes the
most dangerous sin is one that we think
does not beset us at all.-United Pres
byterian.
kindness is the fruit of love. Kind
ness tells of the heaven in the heart.
True kindness is grounded on love, is
not ephemeral, is consistent and per-
sistent.-Rev. w. 7. Thompson. p.
There is a far closer connection
between our virtues and our vices than
most of us are accustomed to suppose.
What is the relation between than?
This: Our vices are virtues carried
20 eXcess.-Rev. j. j. Lainer, Episco-
palian.
Prayer is not of the lips, nor of the
intellect. II there is any reality in
prayer it grasps the whole being in its
appeal to God. Prayer takes hold on
life, and the life that cannot be prayed
is defective, and the prayer that can
not be lived is defective.-Rev. Robert
Meredith.
In a letter to young men, Dr. Park
hurst says: "Nerve varies directly as
the square of the distance that there is
between us and the reality we are hand
