My dear sir, my dear madam, what
do you mean by going about this world
with disheartenments? Is not the sup
plv of gloom and trouble and misfor-
tune enough to meet the demand with
out your running a factory of pins and
spikes? Why should you plant black
and blue in the world when God so sell
dom plants them? Plenty Of scarlet col
ors, plenty of yellow, plenty of green,
plenty of pink, but very seldom plant
black or blue. l never saw black flow
err, and there's only here and there a
bluebell or violet, but the blue is for
the most part reserved for the sky, and
we have to look up to see that, and
when we look up no color can do us
harm. Why not plant along the paths
of Others the brightnesses instead OF the
glooms?
Do not prophesy misfortune. If you
must be a prophet at all, be an Ezekiel
and not a jeremiah. In ancient times
prophets who foretold evil were doing
right, for they were divinely directed,
but the prophets of evil in our time are
generally false prophets. Some of our
weatherwise people prophesied we
would have a summer of unparalleled
heat. 1t has been very comfortable
summer. Last fall all the weather
prophets agreed in saying we should
have winter of extraordinary severity,
blizzard on the heels of blizzard. 1t
was the mildest winter ever remember
to have passed. Indeed, the autumn
and the spring almost showed winter

somber chariots, and no one has any

at the pianos a quarter Of century ago

Such kind words have their nests In

First Save My Friend.
We want something like that spirit
of sacrifice for others which was seen
in the English channel, where in the
storm a boat containing three men was
upset, and all three were i'll the water
struggling for their lives. A boat came
to their relief, and rope was thrown
TO one of them, and he refused TO take
it, saying: First fling it to Tom. He
is just ready to 90 down. l can last
some time longer. A man like that,
be he sailor or landsman, be he in up
per ranks of society or lower ranks, will
always have plenty of friends. What
is true manward is true Godward. we
must be the friends of God if we want
him to be our friend. We cannot treat
Christ badly all our lives and expect
him to treat us lovingly. l was read
