Now, why do We not do so with the char
acters of others. and show the bloom and
the music and the bright fountains? No.
We say, Come along, and let me show
you that mans character. Here is

But here comes in a defective maxim

smoke there must be some fire." Look at
all the smoke of years around Jenner

smoke around Columbus, the dIscoverer.

and John and tell me where was the firei
That is one Of the satanic arts to make
smoke without fire. SANDER, like the
world, may be made out of nothing If the
Christian, fair-minded, common-sensical
spirit in regard to others predominated in
the world we should have the millennium
IN about six weeks, for would not that be
lamb and lion, COW and leopard living
down together? Nothing but the grace
OF God can ever put us into such a habit
OF mind and heart as that The tendency
is IN the opposite direction This is the

promised to do and he broke his word
and the Psalmist was right before he cor
rected himself, for "all men are liars" So
men become suspicious and saturnine and
selfish, and at every additional wrong
done them they put another LAYER on
the wall of their eXclusiveness and an
other bolt to the door that shuts them out
from sympathy with the world They get
cheated out of thousand dollars, or mis-
interpreted. or disappointed, or BETRAYED,
ana higher goes the wall, and faster goes
another bolt, not realizing that while they
lock others out they lock themselves in:
and some day they wake up to find them
selves imprisoned in a dastardly habit.
No friends to others, others are no friends
to them. There's an island halfway be-
tween England Scotland and Ireland.
called the Isle of Man, and the seas dash
against all sides of ii, and I am told there
IS no more lovely place than that Isle of
Man; but when a man becomes insular IN
his disposition, and cuts himself off from
the main land of the worlds sympathies.
he is despicable, and all around him is an
Atlantic ocean of selhshness. Behold that
Isle of Man.
Now, supposlng that you have by a d.

Have you noticed that the head is so poised
that the easiest thing on earth is to give
a nod of recognition? To swing the head
from side TO SIDE as when 1t is wagged in
derlsion, is unnatural and unpleasant; to
throw it back, invites vertigo; but to
drop the chin in greeting is accompanied
with so little eXertion that all day long.
and every day, you might practice it with
out the least semblance of fatigue So.
also, the structure of the hand indicates
Understandings the knuckles not made SO
that the fingers can turn out, but so made
that the fingers can turn in, as in claspine,
hands; and the thumb divided from and
set aloof from the fingers, so that while
the fingers take your neighbor's hand
on one side, the thumb takes it on the 9th
er, and, pressed together, all the faculties
OF the hand give emphasis to the samta-
ton. Five sermons in every healthy hand
urge US TO Misunderstanding.
Besides THIS, every day when you start
out, load yourself up with kind thoughts.
