Reanty Is Heart Deem.

Beauty is but skin Deep" That is
a skin-deep saying. Beauty is heart
deep 1t is out Of the heart we desire
it. 1t is out of the heart it grows. This
is not mere saying like the other. 1t
is the fact and secret that we are eager
to penetrate There is, indeed, skin
deep beauty; a mere unearned, unlived,
bodily inheritance; but out of some
heart, through some life-earning, it
must always have been originated and

for a lifetime; covered in with plain,

THE HEM OF THE GARMENT.
The Greatest Influence of Any Huma n

Inc OUTLOOK.
Very few readers of the New Testament
probably ever stop to think how brief the
biography of Christ is, and how much must
have been omitted from the narrative There
must have been another history of the di-
his disciples, but in the hearts of those
whom he had cheered and helped and healed
by the way. There must have been beau

mouth for many generations, the light of
which faded very slowly as the night of
barbarism and wandering came on. For

compassion and love, must have poured it.
self out in thousand unseen rivulets as
marked in the New Testament story. There
must have been thousands to whom he spoke
words which were not recorded; there must
have been multitudes whose lives were re-
newed by his power of whom no mention
Is made. AS this was true of the divinest
personality known to men, SO il is also true
of every human personality. The most
searching and influential power that issues
from any human life is that of which the
person himself is largely unconscious It
flows from him in every form of occupa-
ton, in every relationship, in rest or in
work, in silence or in speech, at home or
abroad. There are hosts of men and women
who are healers and teachers and helpers
almost without consciousness of the fact.
Light shines from them and help flows from
them at times when they are utterly un-
being touched. The real test of the posses
sion of the highest power OF character and
the most perfect devotion to the noblest
things in life is not the quality of the direct
touch; ii is the presence of the virtue even
in the hem of the garment.
