IL In Effective and Distinctly UpIift-
Ing I'm Influence on Others.
There Is no safety in the practical
dealings in life between men and
women like clear, distinct, persistent
frankness. The man who has nothing
to conceal and who conceals nothing
never has to make any explanations,
and he secures that confidence which
protects him from the suspicion that
he is holding anything back which
might influence the decision Of the per-
son with whom he is dealing. 1t is
taken for granted that he has stated
his whole position without reservation.
We are constantly tempted TO desert
this high plane of action because other
people do not meet us omit; but our re-
lations with others ought not to be de-
termined by their attitude toward us;
they ought to be determined by our
own individual convictions. thought to
make no difference how we are treated
by others SO far as justice, frankness
and courtesy are concerned. IL Is aston
ishing how the Grabbed temper yields
when IL is treated with uniform cour-
tesy and consideration; how the Sc
cretive spirit gives way when IL Is met
by perfect frankness; how the impa-
tient temper Is quoted and Gained by
patience and forbearance. When we
carry ourselves steadily in all our re-
lations with others, we dispose at once
of half the difficulties which are likely
TO rise, and avoid almost entirely those
Misunderstanding which are the be-
ginnings OF encouragement. We are
often tempted to deal with small people
on the plane of their intelligence rather
than on tho plane of our own convic-
tions, and every time we do this we
make blunder. Such people, treated
OH "A higher plane, are materially helped
to stand on that plane. They are not
slow TO discern the respect that is paid
them, and they must be exceptionally
bad If they are not influenced by It,.
1t is far better, as matter Of policy, IL
for no other reason, TO treat others
steadily from standpoint which we
have taken as a result OF conviction than
TO continually adjust ourselves to the
standpoint OF others. Respect, consid-
Grafton, franlSness and courtesy are
rarely lost when they are infused into
our social and business relations. In
the exact degree in which we are gov
erned by these qualifications and ex-
press them do we make ourselves not
only effective, but distinctly uplifting
In our influence upon others.-N. T..

Their steps in the matter"
Edith, very shortly afterward, went
to her own room, and there, clasping
her hands behind her, she walked up
and down, thinking, with very
troubled heart, on what she had heard.
Her view of the matter was very differ
ent from that of her father. She felt
certain something wrong had been done
by her cousin. For long time she had
distrusted his supposed friendship for
the two young men, and now she pic
tured TO herself John Kenyon in the
wilds of Canada, helpless and despond-
ent because OF the great wrong that had
been done him. IL was far into the night
when she retired, and IL was early next
morning when she arose. Her father
was bright and cheerful at breakfast,
and had evidently forgotten all about
the unpleasant incident OF the day be-
fore. A good nights sleep had erased
IL from his memory. Edith was glad Of
this, she did not mention the subject.
After he had gone TO the city the young
woman prepared TO follow him. She
did not take her carriage, but hailed a
hanson and gave the driver the number
of Wentworth's Offices. That young
man was evidently somewhat surprised
to see her. He had been trying TO write
20 Kenyon some account OF his inter
view with old Mr.. Longworth, and,
somehow, after he had finished, he
thought John Kenyon would not at all
approve of his zeal, so had just torn the
letter up.
"Tale this chair" he said, wheeling
an armchair into position. 1T is the
only comfortable one we have in the
ROOM"
Comfort does not matter" said Miss
Longworth; II came to see you about
the mica mine. What has my cousin
done?"

CHARACTER REVEALED.

ties the Judgment Test.
This Is because our habit and manner
of accepting them reveal character as
nothing else docs. The power to seize
an exceptional occasion and, by nerving
ones self temporarily for a tremendous
effort, 20 do something brilliant and con-
spicuous, which wins wide admiration,
Is not TO be underestimate. 1t Is TO be
honored and desired. But IL il only one
of the elements which unite to compose
ones character. From it's nature IL can
only be exhibited now and then. The
final inquiries concerning each of US are
not TO be: What has he done, what can
he do, but: What is he? The difference
Is plain.
II Is the acceptance of common OPP
portunities of service, when the ordi-
nary wear and tear Of life is being felt,
when the romance of existence has
given place, ut any rate for time, To
prosaic duties and commonplace cx-
periences, that shows out underlying
character. We are not on dress parade
then. We forget or do not care 70 pre-
tend. II we are quick-tempered, fret
show IL then. II we are CHEEKY, patient,
energetic, spiritually-rninded, then 1t Is
that those who know us best thank
God for MA. The apostle has hidden us;
whether therefore ye eat or drink or
whatsoever we do, do all 60 THE glory of
God" He might Rave addedi whether.
therefore, ye eat or drink or whatsoever
We do, YES cannot help showing whether
We do II to the glory OF God or not"
This is fair TO everybody. Nothing
could be fairer. Most of us cannot do
brilliant things. Few can accomplish
acts OF heroism often, II ever. But
everybody can use common opportuni-
ties faithfully. And sometimes, in Di-
vine providence, the most uninviting
openings prove 10 afford occasion for
the most heartily recognized heroisn.

ciated but whether we tried 20 be faith
