THE ABIDING ONE


Some hearts are like quiet village street.
Few and well known the passers to and
fro;
Some like a busy city's market place.
And countless forms and faces come and
go.
Into my life unnumbered steps have trod.
Though brief that life. and nearing now
its close;
At first the forms OF phantasies and dreams.
And then the varied tread OF friends and
foes.
Coming and godng-ahl there lay the pang.
That when my heart had blossomed and
unlocked
It's wealth 10 greet the loved familiar step.
Lot It was gone and only echoes Knocked
My listening ear. But o. there came one
step,
So soft and slow. which said: II pass not
by,
But stay with thee forever. n thou wilt.
Amid this constant Instability
Then In His eyes saw the love I craved-
Love past my craving-love that died for
me.
He took my hand. and IN It's gentle strength

Still do the countless footsteps como and

But One abides and fills the solitude
With music and with beauty. night and

FRAGMENTS OF THOUGHT,
some Great Truths Drieny Suggested
by the United Presbyterian.


Life reaches It's true ideal just as IL
Is conformed TO that OF Christ.
The gods he worshiped were the
ruin OF him" That might be written
on many n tombstone to-day.
The one who Is great In the kingdom
OF God Is the one who does. and teaches
others 70 do the whole law Of God.
When the people humbed themselves
things went we'll In Judah. We are un-
der the same God and the same moral
law.
That is true history which recognizes
the hand OF God In the events which oc-
cur. He Is the unseen power that rules
over all.
IL is important to observe the divine
" appointed forms In religious service.
but rightness OF heart Is the first re-
quisite In true worship.
A certain man, who had been intern
perate, repented and lived cody life
the remainder Of his days. But there
was n dark cloud over his life, and sor~
row filed his heart for some OF his
sons followed his earlier. rather than his
later, example.
Jesus always saw and always devel-
oped the best that was In n man. Where
Others saw only "a man named Mat
thew" He saw one who was called TO
be saint and disciple. Where others
saw only n tax-gathercr, He saw one
who was appointed 20 be an heir Of God
and n iointheir with Jesus Christ.
When Jesus says, follow me, He has
wonderful things in store for the soul
that Is obedient.

All these things will aid you TO sleep
soundly, and, believe me, that is what
you need above all things just now.
Remember when you lie down tonight
that have told you positively, on my
honor, that you will sleep better than
you ever have slept before"
"You mean," Col. Warrenton inter
posed. "that II will be necessary for him
to sleep well before-before the-the
test2"
A slight, almost unnoticeable, look OF
vexation passed over the face of the
hypnotist, but IL was gone when he
began TO speak.
"oh, no, only that IL will put him In a
better humor. He is rather too despon-
dent for his own good. don't want to
talk to him about any test now. That
will be for the future. Perhaps we
won't have IL at ALL"

He did not mention It."
"IIe never mentions anything. He
has been discharged from more than
one case for looking like an idiot, but
that's part of his method. He knows
what he is doing"
There was n short silence then.
WILDLY and warrenton could see that
the hypnotist was deeply engaged in
thought Presently he said brusquely;
"I'll have to see you again tomorrow,
or next day, Mr.. WILDLY. / can do
nothing now. VIII you come with me
to my hotel, colonel2 want TO consult
you on a point of law before we go any
further. / think IL will be necessary,
Mr. WILDLY, for you to get a good

Where do you sleep?"
Last night l began occupying my
old room just across the hail." replied
WILDLY. ''I was sleeping there when
the crime was committed, and have
had an aversion TO IL ever since; but I
was glad to find that ] slept better there
last night than had upstairs in an
other room"
"You naturally would. and you were
wise TO move back. II you go TO bed
with the idea that you are doing even

thought will haunt you in your sleep.

''Not at ALL" The three men rose and
went into Whidby's room.
(which is the chair you spoke OF, and
where was IL placed that night?" asked
DIR. Lnmpkin.
WILDLY drew IL from behind a screen
in corner.
"You ought not TO have placed IL
there" remarked the hypnotist. THE
idea OF its being pushed away out of
sight will remain with your sub-con-
seriousness longer than you dream of.
Such things belong to a wonderful
science that all people ought to know.
Where was the chair standing that
night, as near as you can remember?"
Exactly there" And WILDLY placed
the chair within few feet of the bed.
"Ah, yes" said the hypnotist. II

THE PENTELIc TEMPLE.
A Striking Illustration OF the Need of
Inward RiRhteousness.

The most beautiful building ever
erected on the planet is the Parthenon
mt Athens. The architect was Phidias,
the time was that of Pericles, and the
consummate flower OF the developed
genius of the most vigorously intel
lectual nation that ever ruled bit Of
earth blossomed in the Parthenon. Its
majestic proportions, its noble col
umns, its solid simplicity and its mar
BILE purity combine TO make II incom-
parable.
DIR. Dorpfeld asks II the Parthenon Is
doomed TO perish. 1t has survived moro
than 20 centuries Of war and earth
quake, but now IL seems near it's fall.
Only careful and thorough restoration,
says DIR. Dorpfeld, will preserve IL, and
this the humbled Greek government can
hardly accomplish.
What is the explanation Of this pres
ent danger? Is IL the result of the nat
ural wear Of pure white marble? Not
at all. The builders built well, but
they did not build for all time. They
rejected the poorer stone, that with
colored veins, for all parts of the tenn
pie that could be seen, but used IL for
interior work that was covered up. But
In the course of time this interior has
been affected by the elements; the
stone has rotted or split where IL was
imperfect, and will not support the
weight Of the walls. These imperfect
stones must be replaced, or the chief
architectural glory Of the world will
perish in the next earthquake.
Is not here lesson In character?
Every life is a temple; and II has it's
visible and its invisible parts. There
may be fair white columns and pedl-
ments and friezes, spotless, beautiful,
glorious; but there will also be the con-
cealed stones that support the whole
edifice invisible 10 any eye; and these
should be as pure and strong as those
that invite the public gaze. But too
often the man who is building the tenn
pie OF his own character puts the white
marble on the outside, and spotted.
streaked stone, that with veins OF base
corroding material, in the covered
places. But IL is the covered blocks that
make the true character and that as
sure stability when the earthquake
comes. Time will expose the weak
spots, and the honored reputation will
fall.
Our illustration is drawn from the
fairest OF all temples. and IL applies TO
those who, like Phidias, mean well. but
who are not careful OF the absolute
best. II Is well 10 resolve 10 be better;
IL is better to resolve TO be good, not
better here and there where IL will be
seen, but good throughout. Our Lord
drew n similar illustration from the
sepulcher whited without, but full OF
dead mems bones within. Between the
two we have the same lesson applied
TO the Christian and the hypocrite.
Who are they, on this earth, and sub
ject 10 our temptations, that do not
need TO learn that the Pentellc marble
OF true Christian life must be pure
In public and no less pure In secret7-

NOT FEELING, BUT CONDUCT.
Action Rather Than Emotion IL the
Best Evidence OF Love.

best Evidence OF Love.
Love Is not matter OF feeling, or
emotion. II Is an attitude OF being.
He who loves another, holds that other
dear-is ready TO act In such way as
TO advance the others true interests.
Love does not depend on ones moods.
Is not measured by ones present emo
tions, never piyots on ones feelings.
Love, because IL is love, Is imperative an
duty itself, and dominates action m
positively and az continuously as does
duty. He who loves his country is not
necessarily swayed by warm feelings
or tender emotions with reference TO
his country. He simply holds his coun-
try dear, dearer than self, and therefore
liz ready TO live or die for that coun-
try, whether he feels like II or not. He
who loves his fellows holds them dear
az those whom God loves, and therefore
who are TO be counted as so far repre-
sentatiyes OF God, however they may
seem TO one who Is near 10 them. The
evidence OF love Is found In conduct, not
In emotion. The question Is not what
we feel toward another, but what we are
ready to do for another, however wo
feel. when our love Is at issue. A parent
who says he loves his child, and then
consents TO his child's having some
thing he ought not TO have, or doing
something he ought not 20 do, because
OF his tenderness, shows In his conduct
that he lacks the love for his child which
he says he has. The man who calls him
self "loyer," and then shoots the girl
he claims 20 love because she does not
love him, proves 10y his conduct that
ne never loved that girl. and he seems
TO show that he never loved anyone
even himself. lie Is a helpless slave of
his own worst passions, without any
knowledge OF the sentiment OF true
love. Love ever holds dear It's object,
and In action ever puts first the true
welfare OF It's object regardless Of sell
fish feelings and considerations. and
apart from the drawings OF emotion
Not feelings, but actions, are the true
test OF loves. s. Times.
