All OF her smiles and all OF her tears,
For one little circle Of gold,
Told she the world Of the bitter cheats

She clothed her idol from heal to feet
With the garments OF her grace,

WATCH PAPERS lNO VERSES.

When thick watches with removable
cases were carried IL was the custom
for watchmakers. whenever they clean
ed a watch, to place in the DoWom OF
the loose case and engraved label with
their names and addresses, on which
they would write the date OF the re-
pair. Frequently these labels were elab-
orately engraved; some times they con-
tanned maxims or verses around the
outside. This habit gave rise to the
fashion Of placing in the cases verses
and devices. tokens of friendship or
love. some times written on paper, but

satin. All these were designated as

in part as follows:
BISHOP MvICKAR's ADDRESS.
What is personal religion? What 90
we really mean? IL seems 10 me TO be
the personal application OF the motives
OF religion. The personal living under
the guidancs Of religion itself When
We use that term personal. II is simply
10 distinguish it from institutional re-
ligion on one hand and theoretic re-
lglon or theology on the other.
Personal religion. The very heart
OF II all is the individual All these in
stltutions get their value from the fact
they are associated with the individual
life. Blot that out and you have
TObbed the whole thing of it's meaning.
This personal religion deals with the
whole man. Is IL an annex added on to
the life? is IL different from the rest
OF YOUR life? Is that the fulness of
the idea? IL is necessary in relation To
our lives that there should be holy
places. There is the Intellectual life
and the physical life, with It's exercise
and so with the spiritual. But we do
not break up human lives in that way
as We think OF them. When we speak
OF personal religion IL is the whole
man. IL isn't merely soul That
spiritual nature Is 90 tranFform all his
being and the whole life sending its
radlatlng influence through every limb
Then II IS To bring our whole lives
into the way OF influence. In the day
In which We are living there is a ten
dency 10 neglect those things. IL is an
age Of activity. fun OF The noise OF the
machinery OF life. The wheels are
grinding down the lives. These are the
days that we especially need the re-
ligious hours. To give up 10 quiet and
mediation, to the drawing near to God
These hours are the educators Of the
spiritual life'
