A Protest Agaiu., Morbidues.,

The Apostles Injunction. "Let every one
OF us please his neighbor for his good to
ediilcation," brings out the sunny side OF the
ideal Christian life. 1t is protest against
the morbidness and the mournfulness which
are too commonly associated with Christian
discipleship II helps us to draw distinc-
tion between seriousness and dullness,
between eRrnestness Of purpose and fri
gidity OF SOUL 1t reminds us that whatever
throes and pains may attend the germina-
ton and growth Of the ideal life, that life
should present to the world the rich
blossom and fragrance which minister
pleasure to mankind. There IL, therefore,
some flaw In the piety which is repellent,
and In the zeal to do good which succeeds
only in hiding the beauty OF holiness. II
there were any doubt on this point, It would
only be necessary to bring 1t to the test OF
the one Ideal Life lived among men. No
life can compare with His in the sense OF
solemnity and seriousness. Upon Him lay
the burden OF the heaviest task ever i'm
posed upon man. Through sorrows un-
speakabe, yet with unfaltering step, He
pressed on to the goal OF sacrifice. Yet,
from first to last, He exc rcised upon men
the charm OF an attractive spirit, which
made them feel it was happy to be good. and
scattered around Him influences which
added to the joys and delights OF life. And
in this matter of winsomeness. His disciples
have great need to learn OF Him. 1t is
their duty to cultivate His charm, to dis
cipline themselves into His power to make
the world brighter and men happier. A
crotchety Christian is a monstrosity. The
man who fails to spread peace, JOY, hope.
In this world OF real and countless sorrows.
Is an enemy Of the race and criminal be-
fore God. For foremost among the marks
OF the ideal life is the faculty OF enjoying
and dispensing the gladness of the Creator.

Only the Seed Growing,

Let it not be group of ash trees. but a
group OF men, a thought of God tn
trusted to the earth for its embodiment and
execution. What are these dreams and
visions. these upward reachings, these GER
tainitios of infinite belongings-what are
they, o thought of God. but the unbroken
tension Of the chain which binds the think
er to His thought forever? And what are
all these carthlinesses. these tender cling
ings to the things our senses understand.
these calls of present duties, this
fear Of dying, this love of the present,
warm. domestic earth--what are they all
but the pressure Of the warm ground upon
the seed entrusted to it? The man who
does not somehow hold the complete truth
about his life both Of these truths com
bined in onc-does not live worthily. The
man who has and holds them both. look,
what a life he lives Look how substantial
ly his roots are fastened in the earth. Look
how aspiringly he lifts his branches to the
sky.-Ihillips Brooks.

markable little monograph. Here. I
have it BY me-"
He showed it to me. and . brief
glance proved that the writer at least
knew her subject. 'Mrs. B. Parsons,
NJ. D., was her name.
Then with q shrug l promised Jen-
sen ! would see the lady. Heaven
bless the old chap. And what excellent
luck it was my thinking to 60 to him
for advice,
was inwsrdly somewhat amused
the next morning, when ! called in
Harley street, and joined couple Of
demure, middle.aged females in DR..
Parsons's waiting room.
In less than half an hour ] was
something infinitely better than
amused.
"Be so good as to ster, this way,
sir" said the man, and and my card
entered Bells's sanctum together.
"Bella" l cried, and "Philip!"
cried che. and we we're in each others
arms before the amazed servant cleared
out OF the room.
1t was a tremendous meeting, and
minutes passed before recovered my
sanity. Then with q fresh prick at
that troubled heart OF mine, / ex.
claimed:
"But your husband! Good gracious,
what have / done?"
"He is dead," she said. ''It was q
wretched business. Ny father had set
his mind on it, and there seemed
nothing for ii but to make him happy,
seeing that I could not"
"Could not what, Bella?"
"Could not make you believe that
you we're happy" she said shyly.
'And your father? Oh, but never
mind now. That is to say (for was
conscious of my neanness), I hope he
is we'll, my darling"
"No, Philip; he. too, Is dead"
/ am sorry to say that the news did
not grieve me.
Then l started and told Bella every
thing, and afterward she told me
everything. BY the time that we had
done with our respective histories the
morning was far spent.
"And now, dearest, you must pre-.
scribe for me-" said, and / related
my symptoms.
But she showed such sweetly grave
face at my words that shuffled out of
the role of patient back into that OF
lover.
"At any rate, my Bella, you will
now be my lies physician?" l ask ed.
And so she is. We study each
others hearts-that is the main bust.
ness of our two lives. Nor am nearly
as bad subject as old Jensen made
out when he sent me where he believed
and fully hoped I should find my cure.

A Missouri woman who is so very
pious that she will do no work on the
Sabbath day was very much annoyed
by the fact that her hens would not as
conscientiously refrain from all labor
on Sunday, but persisted in laying
eggs IN disregard Of the biblical in.
junction to rest on the Sabbath day.
She was undecided whether she ought
to dispose OF such inpious and heath.
onish fowls or not, when the brilliant
idea struck her OF giving all the eggs
laid On Sunday to the church Of which
she was a memb Der. She has acted on
this idea, aud COW regular source OF
income OF the church is the proceeds
Of these eggs.

The cry that the wild birds are
being exterminated in England has
been recently supplemented by plea
for the preservation OF the butterflies.
Owing to the number of collectors,
there is danger of some of the species
becoming practically extinct, and with
view TO their preservation q pro.
lection committee has been appointed
by the Leicester Literary and Philo.
sopoical Society. Over-coIlecting is
to be prohibited among the members
OF the society. and offenders are to be
expelled. Ia the case OF the rarer
species, the number which any mem.
ber is allowed to collect during one

Gods Ways Are Best.

Sometimes rain comes In storms, with
black clouds and fierce lightninGs and thun-
ders. People tremble and are afraid as they
look on. But the storm passes, pouring out
rich blessing Of rain, which make all the
fields rejoice. God sometimes sends His
word to us In dark. portentous forms-sick-
ness. loss, disappointment. sorrow, trial. At
first we are terrified; but In the end, when
the storms have cleared away, we find that
the dark clouds We 80 dreaded were but

sIail Robber Served With Him During tbA
 War.
 President Mckinley received letter from Robert Allen, m old soldier who fought at his side during the war; ap- pealing for pardon. Allen was in jail out west for rohbing the mails. The president promptly wrote ordering Aliens release.
 Young William Mckinley and young Robert Allen were comrades in tho civ il ar and fought side by side for the
 ervation of the Union.
 But just after Mckinley was elected to the highest office ill the United States his old companion in arms, Allen, was sent to jail for robbing the mails.
 His offense was very serious one. He robbed tho United States mail aE Pierce City, Mo, and dubbed the man in charge of 1t.
 He was sentenced to five years inn prisonment and sent to jail at Jefferson City, Mo. As soon as he arrived there he wrote to President Mckinley asking for pardon in the name of their old companionship.
 Allen addressed the president as .smy dear old eemrade. lie recalled the battles ill which they had fought together, mentioning scenes that will be impressed on President MoKinley's mind while ho lives
 The president considered the letter and it troubled him. He had the high. est office in tho land. and a slight use of his great power would suffice to save an old comrade from imprisonment and disgrace. Aller had no moral or legal right to pardon, but are sentiment and old oompanionship to count for nothing? That they count for much was the view of tue major, and Allen was pardoned.
 When he received it recently. he re- marked that 1t was only what he ea- pected from en old comrade --lss-
