A Suggestive Response.

Unconscious harmony between SER
mon and response was too much for the
Rev. Simon j. Mcpherson yesterday
morning. He preached on "Hell" in the
Second Presbyterian church, but found
the response selected by the innocent
organist was altogether too appropriate.
The hymn was changed, but not before
the air had been played to an accompa-
niment of broad grin on the face of
every one present. DR.. Mcpherson does
not consult with the organist, A. F. Nc
Carroll, as to the sermon he intends to
preach on Sundays. Mr.. McCarrell does
not worry the pastor about the hymns
he selects for the worshippers to sing.
Both trust each other implicitly. but in
future DR.. Mcpherson will look over the
list of hymns before he goes into the
pulpit. DR.. Mcpherson preached on
HELL" and pictured in burning words
the terrors awaiting the unrepent-
ant wicked in the next world, His ser
mon made deep impression on the

discourse the pastor usually announces
the hymn to be sung as response. The
organist had not known the subject of
the sermon when he selected the re-
sponse, and thought no more about it
after he had compiled his list of hymns.
The pastor fumbled with the list,
coughed, and looked trifie embarrassed.
The organist began to play the air pianis-
simo, and a broad grin spread over every
face. DIR. Mcpherson looked appeal
ingly upward to the organist. and then
turned over the leaves of the hymnbook
with desperate eagerness. Mr.. McCar-
rell left his pipes and hurried down to
the pastor.

The Married Son and His Parents.

A great many people expect that a
man after marriage will. as a matter of
course, identify himself with his wife's
family rather than his own. Mothers
often feel this keenly. and wonder, in
their loneliness, how their dear sons
can forget them SO readily. Have all
the years of loving care and intimacy
counted for nothing? If anything is
said. the only consolation offered is the
old couplet:
"a daughters daughter all her life,
But "a sons son till he marries wife. y
Does the fifth commandment, then,
apply only to daughters? Too many
mothers could say, as one lately did: my
married daughters write to me every
week and come home often. but don't
know much about my son. He has sci.
dom written to me since his marriage.
and he never writes much about him
self or his affairs; lately he has left my
letters for his wife to answer. He has
not been home in two years." In the
ideal marriage the wife wishes her hus-
band to continue his love and devotion
to his parents and old home. just as she
does to hers. When this is not the case
something is wrong Congregational

THE OTHER FELLOWS POINT OF
VIEW.

One of the most difficult things in
life ie to regard situation. see an OBJ
ject, or consider an event from a point
of view not our own. The stronger our
own personality, the more decided our
opinion, the more difficult becomes this
generosity of mental gaze. The canny
Scot. while wishing for the power to see
ourselves as others see us, might wisely
have wished also that we might see
others as they see themselves. To have
opinions based on calm thought and
quiet judgment, and to hold unto them,
is very good thing indeed. To insist
upon your friend. who is of different
temperament and differently circum-
stanced, assuming those same opinions
is surely insular and narrow. Insist up
on your right to hold to your own point
of view for yourself, and accord to your
friend or your friendly enemy the same
privilege. Define in your own under
standing the difference between lionlike
firmness and asinine obstinacy. The
one is as restful and supporting as a
mildeyed Normandy steed. the other as
confusing and as annoying as kicking
zebra.
Many people go about the world with
their opinions always in aggressive evil
dence. They recognize no point of view
but their own. They court opposition.
and regard with glee any opportunity of
an attempt to convince the other fellow,
not so much that he is entirely wrong,
as that they are entirely right. 1t might
be we'll to remember that point is an
extremely small space, and that your
own absolute point of view holds accom-
mediation but for yourself.
Tolerance is a very good oil with which
to soften the friction of human inter
course. II you will listen with patience
to the other fellows exposition of his
views, you may gain much interest
therefrom. Ii we would discuss more
and argue less, we should go far toward
seeing why our own opinion is not end
lessly repeated in the minds of others
