Der magazine number of The Outlook,

The True UalmneSS.

1t was said of certain wellknown
official in our denomination that "he
had one advantage over some of his
breathren-he could look calm wheth-
err he felt so or not" That was an adj
vantage. There is scriptural injunc-
ton: "Let your moderation be known
of all men," Consciousness of right pur-
pose, confidence in the promise and
providence of God, and, above all, the
realization in the present tense by faith
of his love shed abroad in the heart by
the Holy Ghost, makes real calm that
no external shocks can destroy. Temp
eraments differ; some Christians are
more demonstrative than others both in
joy and sorrow; but the promise of the
Master never fails to any true disciple:
my peace give | unto YOU" This peace
reveals its presence to such as are dis
corners of snirits; its real pOssessors
need not be laborously vociferous in as
sorting their claim.-Nashville Chris
tian Advocate.

CHARACTER HINTS.

Character is power,-is influence;
it makes friends; creates funds,
draws patronage and support; and
opens a sure and easy way to wealth,
honor, and happiness.-J. Halves.
~xw
A man who lives right, and is
right, has more power in his silence
than another man has in his words.
Character is like bells which ring
out sweet music, and which, when
touched, constantly resound with
beautiful harmOnies.
*.*
IF we would have cOntending,"
said a clergyman to his brethren of
the cloth, lets contend like the
olive and the vine, who shall pro-
duce the most and best fruit; not
like the aspen and the elm, who
shall make the most noise in the
wind"
AS Richter says: Though Deme-
trius said, truth Il at the bottom
Of a well, we mast take care, lest,
like the same philosopher, we do
not, when seeking for truth, to pay
homage to her, see our own image
and adore it instead"
~
IT'S as easy to be heroes as to sit the idle
slaves
OF legendary virtue carved upon our
fathers graves,
Worshipers of light ancestral make the
present light crime;
Was the "MayflOwer" launched by
cowarus, steered by men behind
their time?
Turn those tracks toward Past or
Future, that make Plymouth rock
sublime? LOWELL.
Man in his construction reminds
me of what lapidary calls crystal
inclusion, that is, a gem within a
gem. The physical man is a gem,
hut it carries in itself better gem.
Here, for example, is beautiful
sapphire from faraway Ceylon.
The sapphire is beautiful in itself, it
is opaque and of milky white col
or, but it is more valuable for what
it contains. The inside is so full of
tiny six sided crystals that when
the light strikes on its surface you
see a beautiful star of six rays fash
ing like fiery crystal. The physi-
cal man is the sapphire, the soul
within is the six rayed star.

THEDAwN OF ACE.

Put off, put off your mail, . Kings,
And beat your brands to dust!
Your hands must lean Surer grasp,
Your hearts better trust
Oh, bend aback the lance's point,
And break the helmet bar;
A noise is in the morning wind,
But not the note of war,
Upon the grassy mountain paths
The glttering hosts increase
They come! They come! How fair theil
feet!
They come who publish peace.
And victory, fair victory,
Our enemies are ours!
For all the clouds are clasped in light,
And all the earth with flowers.
Ave, still depressed and dim with dew
But wait little while,
And with the radiant, deathless rose
The wilderness shall smile.
And every tender, living thing
Shall feed by streams of rest;
Nor lamb shall slom the flock be lost,
Nor nursing from the nest.

WHY.

Why is it that "a free lunch is

Why does a dark lantern give

Why isn't the bride we'll dressed

Why isn't asking mans name a
question of identity?
Why shouldn't man be excused
for being bigoted against bigotry?
Why isn't the bump of caution
placed on the front of mans head?
Why does the average wOmln pre-.
fer being idealized to being under
stood?
Why does the man who pats you
on the back always turn his own
back to be patted? News

Hosting the Flag at Great Cost.

Philadelphia Record: The talk of
keeping the flag flying wherever we
may have once succeeded in plant
ing it appeals to the imagination,
but not to good, common sense. If
we hoist the flag in places where
there must be constant expenditure
of money in order to maintain it,
without corresponding advantage, it
would be wise to pull it down 1t
would be still wiser, however, never
to fly the flag over territory which
it would not be worth our while to
possess.

OGOD! OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

o God our help in ages past,
Our hopes for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home!
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou are God,
To endless years the same.
A thousand ages in thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as dream
Dies at the opening day.
o God! our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
BE Thou our guide while troubles last,
And our eternal home!

ODE TO BRO GREEN.

Before this audience stands Bro Green
AS faithful a christian as everwas seen,
He loves the Lord with all his heart
And from his words will never depart
He loves to tell us how to live,
And to the Lord our hearts to give;
How in this life to prepare the way
In future state with Christ to stay
We know if we his good words take,
We will escape the burning lake;
And meet our friends in heaven above
Where all is peace, and joy and love
