Learning from the bishop that no

to boil them herself. While so en-
gagged, she began to sing the first
stanza of the hymn " Rock of Ages.n
Then she sang the second stanza, the
bishop, who was in the dining-room,
joined in. When it was finished
there was silence, and tho bishop re-
marked, 4" Why not sing the third

A SERMON TO Young MEN,
President Porter, in Yale, once gave
the following advice to the students
of that institution: Young men,
you are the architects of your own
fortunes. Rely on your own strength
of body and soul. Take for your
star self-reliance. Inscribe on your
banner, Luck Is fool; Pluck is q
hero.' Don'ttake too much advice
keep at the helm and steer your own
ship, and remember that the art of
commanding IL to take a fair share
OF the work. Think well of youself.
Assume your own position. Put
potatoes In a cart, go over a rough
road, and the small ones go to the
bottom. Energy and invincible de.
termination, with a right motive,
are the levers that move the world 81

A GREAT many quarrels might be
prevented if we had the right
thoughts, and refused to let the ugly
thoughts stay in our hearts. Some
one says an unpleasant word to us.
If we allow ourselves to brood over
it, we feel worse and worse about it
as time goes by. We "make a
mountain out of mole hill" by
foolish thought. Suppose we drive
the thought of that unpleasant speech
right out Of our minds-it isn't worth
thinking about. Marcus Aurelius
says: Take away the complaint :;
have been harmed, and the harm
is taken away" Anything that
hurts us may be made ten times
worse just by thinking about it.
