REFORM AND REFORMERS.

How prone we are to fly of Into stel

when right at hand lie those which are
most potent. The visionary, the fana
tic, the professional reformer, these
rre too often but weight on the fly
wheel of progress, simply because they
scorn to accept the duties near at hand
and waste their vital force in fruitless
reaching after the impossible. After
all, it is those men of broad sympathies
but endowed with practical sense.
who, while never going back, train In
with the crowd that approximates the
right and lend their might TO move the
mass forward, that really do good in
this world.

the world better, Gays he in substance,
they must have both morality aud ef-

methods. No sacrifice of the funda-
justifsble, and success" in any walk
of life which comes through such sacri-
fee should be looked upon as highly
dangerous to the welfare of the COM
munity.
But beating the air, blind pursuit of

virtue, and the vain self consciouss SIS
which calls itself virtue, are alike of
no value. 1t is rarely necessary, in
order to accomplish good in the
world, to set ones self apart from ones
fellows. The greatest good that has
ever been accomplished in the world
has come frcm training In with o
party, getting close to the great mass
of the living world, not cutting loose
and going off in little select bunch
to condemn the other fellows.
