When trust manipulation seeks to justify his

But you wonder what George Washington

The Mo,al Law .

The moral law presents phases OF char
acter and of conduct that have not yet
been reached-virtues to cherish and
faults to correct with which tao external
law and no outward Influences can med

The past belongs to a record that is UNI
changeable. Bear that in mind and take
courage, Each Of us has graveyard-the
skeletons are there and some day perhaps
our friends will prove it to us. But din
ing with ghosts, sleeping with them,
thinking of them will unnerve the heart,
produce visions of unreal sorrows and ut
terly ruin the life so long as the ghosts of
gone-bys keep us from opening our doors
to the hungry duties and deeds that
await MS outside our dreary banqueting

What we have for our own is


as Longfelow expresses it.
1t is a stimulating thought, though the
next step be the future, and the last the
past; yet, through our whole life we have
our constant little glimpse of time be-
tween two eternities +" which to all intents
and purposes, is our own. We need not
stop to discuss free-wll or election.
Whether our every action be fore ordained
or fore known OF God or no practically it
is ours to choose The father may warn
the child that fire will burn. may even
know before he leaves the room that the
child will be burnt, may even wish the
child to learn wisdom by suffering; but,
as far as the child is concerned, it is his to
choose whether faith or self-will shall
have the mastery. The present is in its
passing moments determining those
things at which we shall later look back.
The past is fixed, the present is ours to
every tierceness of purpose.
You gloomy mourners over the past,
listen to homely parable: Three boys
had each a specked apple. The first
recognized the defect, and threw the fruit
into the nearest stream. The second cut
away the bad part, and ate what was left.
The third sat him down bemoaning the
fate that sent the rottenness, until the
whole decayed. Some of us, like Judas
Iscariot, discover our character pecks,
and throw away our lives; others, wiser,
like the pfodigal son, discard the worth
less portions as soon as they are seen to be
worthless, and henceforth live only on the
good and wholesome things; and there
are Others, who have neither the decision
of Judas, nor the good sense of the prod
igal-they make one wrong choice, and
spend the rest of their lives bemoanng it,
The bow is bent, but the arrow which
was to have hit the quarry, has clicked"
and wounded the over-eager hand There
upon though the game be plentiful;
though the keeper put the bow once more
into the still useful hand, though other
arrows rest in the full culver the game
passes unheeded, the bow warps for want
of work, and the arrow heads rust in idle
ness. For one false shot, therefore, a
CULVER full of arrows is lost and an empty
larder cries out upon the faint hearted
one. How many of Us are here de-
scribed!
Arise, misguided ones The old year
Is dead; but the New Year has arisen
from its ashes. The past is with God

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY MEMO.
copyrighted by Dave & Tabor. |

Were my readers welding this pen they
would recognize the difticulty-the i'm
possibility-of touching all classes each
week Lives are so varied, and thoughts
even more SO, that one must be content
with throwing out words of courage
almost at random, satisfied with the mere
chance of nerving somebody whose needs
are unknown There is widespread
class would commune with this week
the discouraged
THE IRREVoCABLE PAST
is an awful thought The deeds we do,
like the casual footprints in the sands of
the Bay of Fundy-footprints Of the
struggles for prey or of love are preserved
forever. Whatever we have done remains
an indelible mark The food of repent
ance may soften its harsh outlines; the
ocean flowers OF Gods goodness may
cover it; long years may spread over it the
gentle mist of forgetfulness; but the print
remains. And just as the curious geolo-
gist unearths strange markings and odd
shapes, and brings them to the light, so in
the career OF each one OF us will ever be
found those walking consciences Of I'M
happy accusation, who while occupying
themselves with us as friends are unearth-
ing our fossil deeds and sad acts and dis
playing them to a gaping world whose
first thought is to see the hole whence
such things can be digged, and to argue to
our damage that there must be more
where these came rom.
Such issonaa~',at the experience of all
of US sho6ave FRED. We are stabbed in
the houses of GU reputed friends-we are
appalled, to find even our simple or sinless
foolishness remem bcred through decades,
and revived after times of utter peace of
mind. This is what causes the heart often
to sink within us. II max, US feel like
loving the drifting OF a stick towards the
sea rather than the restless energy OF the
living fish that must strive il it would
make rea! progress
