the vineyard according to the Masters
forth fruit therein,
WHICH MAY BE GIVEN TO THE MAsTER.
And there is one furthur and wefghty
word true as it is that the spiritual life
Ia here, and now, true as Ii 10 that SAWS
ton is q matter of the life that now is.
Here If anywhere we enter into that
which has to do with the eternal life,
with that which is immortal. Surely II
anything of our lives shall last, not .
man doubts that this spiritual portion Is
that thing. There may be further bodily
life, resurrection of the body in diff
ferent fashions from this one-a spiritual
body-that may be. We have faith to
believe that the brightness OF the mind
shall not be forever .darkened, but this
we know most surely that above all
others, first of all Others the spirit
shall live forever, the power that loves
and worships and discerns righteousness.
This is the eternal faculty. What we
do for the soul then, for our own soul, or
for others, is not only for this life, how
ever much it may be for this life. Saw
| ing the soul is an eternal salvation, as
saving this body for day could not be.
What we labor for the soul Is for i'm
mortal fruitage. If the spiritual powers
be ruined, and destroyed, we know Of
nothing that shall stand, We do not
despair of any soul on earth because we
are never sure but that there may still
be left, even in the most degraded, and
abandoned one, some vital spark OF that
| spiritual life which is the soul; that
which Gods grace may quicken into
flame, and the glorious spiritual life be
renew but this seems sure so far 81
man has light on any surety, that II this
candle of the Lord be net lighted, II 1t be
really gone out then there IL nothing 80
far as we have knowledge that can with
out it live forever. AS Robert Browning
said: 1.-THE soul doubtless is immortal
where soul can be discerned." We
may hear the lesson of the Lord Jesus 81
he speaks of those who are accounted
| WUELuy W aGb8IA w Gu6 AubuE5 WOE1Us h0N
| to the resurrection from the dead.
THE SOUL IS OUR HERITAGE HERE, ANE
OUR GUARANTEE OF OUR NHERI-
LANCE FOREVER.
So we call you not to any far off, IN
real and visionary experience when VIZ
speak of salvation, eternal salvation; We
call you to discern the intimate facts Of
your own being when we lay before YOU
the call of Jesus unto salvation. We say
that matters of spirit are matters Of fact
We say that the soul power ID q rea
power, manifest power in this life; WI
say that it is as real and as evident III
head or hand or feet; we say that it Ii
the best power, the one which OF al
other is most surely immortal; our very
instinct tells us that it cannot die; tha
consent of all religions Ia that 1t does no
die; the promise Of Christ is that 1t shall
not die. We say therefore most earnest
ly give diligence to seek out the thing
concerning your soul. Behold l hay
set before you this day life and good
and death and evil, therefore choose life
Lay hold upon God, learn Of Christ, liv
, in the Spirit for this is thy life, and Ia
length Of thy days.

Manila is the only place where relis-
BILE temperature records have been kept,

the results obtained at the capital are
not without interest. The average tenn

degrees, for June SO degrees, for July
81 degrees, for August 81 degrees, for
September 81 degrees, for October 80

for December n degrees.
The average daily temperature for
the year at Manila is 80 degrees. 1t
will be noted that the lowest average
temperature occurs in December and
January, and is ~ degrees. The "de-
lightful season in the autumn, when
the atmosphere is clear and dry and the
temperature ranges from about 81 de-
grees to rs degrees F." has not al yet
been discovered by the scientists at the
Jesuit observatory.
The lowest temperature during the
year is so degrees, and the highest 100
degrees. There is nc month in which

HUNTING TIE FAIRIES.

I've hunted the fairies the whole day long,
In wood and valley and brook.
I've listened to hear the hultier song,
And the erl king pass where the ulders shook,
But l never saw even a troll or n fay,
Or a naughty elf that had lost his way,
Though l hunted the ~livelong day.
Perhaps IL was only the wind that stirred
The ~rustling leaves and the grass.
Perhaps it WAS only the song of a bird
That called to me as l tried to pass
The tangled path where the branches meet,
But it seemed like the tripping of fairy feet
And elf songs silvery sweet.
And go / hurried and came at last
Gu on an open space
To the brook that PUSHES and babbles past,
And there l caught the glimpse of n face.
So l clambered in haste on a rocky shelf
And looked in the waves again for the elf,
But the face was only myself.
l think it liz funny that boys like me
Can't find where the fairies go,
And l really think ! would like to he
A boy with the boys of the long ago,
When all the wonderful tales came true,
The magic lamp and the little glass shoe
And the awful bugal 90.
But. though they co lid fly to the moon ant
stars
When the fairies gave them wings,
They hadn't the train or electric cars
Or Christmas and lots of other things
And so l guess it is better here,
And l think I'll stay at least this year.
Since Fourth of July is near.
