DOING GOOD.
Earthly Life of Christ Good One to
Emuinte-The story of
ScrOOge.

To do good is the very salt OF life
1t is what keeps the love Of life from
decaying or corrupting. We are told
of our Lord that "He went about
doing good" and we know that
though He was man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief, He had in
Him a never-failing source of joy,
which from time to time broke forth
in enraptured utterances to His Fa-
ther and in blessing upon mankind.
Not the least of the sources of this
Joy was the knowledge that He was
doing good day by day and sowing
seeds of happiness in the world which
would blossom and bear fruit in after
days. The selfish man who lives for
himself cannot enjoy life. He is
miserable; but let him change and
think more of others than of himself
and what a difference! How well
Dickens puts this in his christmas
Carroll" At the beginning Of the
story we have a portrait of Scrooge,
tight-fsted man. hard as a grind
stone, sharp as flint from which no
steel had ever struck out generous
fire, secret and self contained and
solitary as an oyster. Nobody ever
stopped him in the street to say, with
gladstone looks How are your" No
beggar implored him for trife; no
children asked him the time of day.
Rich enough he was, but dismal,
morose and melancholy. He had
never done good TO anyone. He had
thought and lived only for himself;
but he is visited by three ghosts
the ghost of the past, the ghost OF
the present and the ghost OF
the future-and they teach him a
lesson and he becomes a good friend
good master and good man, and
opens his heart and his purse to 9th
ers and, as consequence, he begins
to love the life he once hated and to
see the good days he once had nc
faith in.-Rev. Arthur S. Brooks, NJ
A., in Central Christian Advocate.
