THE TRUE REFORMER
Having the Worlds Woes to Look
After Has No Time For His Own.

Having the Worlds Woes to Look
After Has No Time For His Own.
The reformer is healthy. Having the
worlds woes to look after he has no
time for his own.
he is strong. Otherwise. ne could
not meet the shocks. bear the rebuffs.
ais carry the burdens. Besides these,
he will have to put on his own Shout
ders. and bear forward by his own
force, the majority of his constituency.
He is brave. For there is actual dam
ger in meddling with old prejudices,
old customs, old habits, old vices.
towards do not break up many hornet
nests. If they tried, they would be
stung to death, for fear is the secret
Of vulnerability.
He speaks the truth. The whole
truth, and no more Men scorn half
way business of any sort, and they
will soon turn deaf ears to a liar. II
he sees a false thing he must hit
straight or fail.
He loves all men. Thereby he wins
some. Love gives him clear vision,
conquers fear, clothes his words with
effective power, and disarms the enc
my.
He is tactful. He sends his arrows
heal. Ragged edges, from a rudely-
handled weapon .mortify and defeat the
aim in view, which is life, not death.
He is prayerful. Victory via the
throne is the only permanent kind
He is proud. Therefore, he knows
no compromise.
He is humble And cannot be caught
in any snare or hattery-
He is poor. For he gives all to the
cause he pleads
He is rich. For he Is satisfied to be
counted worthy or message-bearing-
He is near-sighted. Thus the nearest
duty is faithfully attended to-
He is far-sighted. He forestalls CON-
ing events and sees large things in the
future
He is an optimist Else he. would
soon rest on his oars
He is an pessimist. Or he would not
pull so faithfully for the shore
He is a good man. None other can
lead to good issues
He is like Jesus Christ.-Epworth

A Good Many People Have Slow
Journeys For Lack OF II.
The locomotive stood putting at the
junction. We had travelled 200 miles,
and were walking up and down the
platform TO get a breath of fresh air.
Passing close to the iron giant we no
ticed the sand-box in front of its big
drive-wheel. Even now some stray
grains of sand were dropping on the
rail. Then we understood why it was
that the wheels of the engine had so
closely Rugged the rails as she pushed
up over the mountain grade. If there
had been no sand on the rails the big
wheels might have repeatedly slipped.
and our progress would have been slow.
Blessings on the man whose brain con-
ceived the sand-boxl That little in
vention has been death to slipping
wheels, has accelerated the speed of
ten thousand railroad trains, and has
given to travelling a new delight.
That locomotive sand-box made us
laborious and uncertain journey
through this world. Mountains are
high Grades are steep. Track has no
grit Wheels slip. They need help.
They long for someone to put a little
sand on the track. Some lack faith.
Others lack courage. Others lack the
talent OF hard work. Others are tickle
and fitful. Others lack the grace of
continuance Others, again, are with
out the opumist's sunny view. Hence,
progress along the road is snail-like,
and it seems doubtful If they will ever
reach the station of success. They pun
and groan and exhaust much steam,
but no motion Wheels turn round and
round Quickl somebody, put a little
sand on the tracki

WORTH WHILE.

1t is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows by like a song.
But the man worth while is the one
who will smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And 1t always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praises
of earth
Is the smile that shines through
tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray
When without or within no voice Of
sin
Is Turing your soul away.
But its only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire
And the life that is worth the honor
of earth
Is the one that resists the desire.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

From DR.. Peppers Pen.

A man put on his weather vane:
God is love-" do you mean that
Gods love is as ehangeable as the
wind?" II mean that God is love which
ever way the wind blows
Facts are facts. But blowing ones
own horn" is no part OF any of the
facts Sensible folks are glad to have
the facts, but can dispense with the
blowing" This applies even to edi-
tors and publishers.
We may discourse eloquently on the
omnipresence and omniscience of God,
but how can we soon after indulge in
secret in some deed of shame, seem
ingly forgetting our own text, Thou
God seest me?"

A HOLY LIFE.

o ye who wander in the night
And blindly grope and fall,
Let Jesus be a ray of light
To guide you home withal.
Why stand without that Light in view
And bend to Satan's rod.
When you can have your heart made
new
BY giving it to God?
Let not your hopes be fixed on earth
Or its alluring prize.
But try 10 have an angels worth
And win the shining skies.
This world is but a wreck at best
A place Of sin and strife,
And he who would have peace and rest
Must lead a holy life.
