The Supreme Court, sitting in Phila

to any person in trust for religious or
charitable uses, except the same be
done by deed or will, at least one calen-
der month before the death of the testa-

an appeal from the Superior court in

WITH CHEERFULNESS.
A Bible Phrase That u Too often
Undervalued-Tbe Good Made
Beautiful.

The Apostle Paul enjoins his disciples
to exercise mercy with cheerfulness
from. 12:S). That phrase, with cheer
fulness, is too often slurred over in
reading the passage, but it is the sig
niiicant thing about the precept 1t
was not necessary to tell Christians that
they should show mercy. They had
learned that long before, but he put the
virtue in a new light when he says il is
TO be exercised with cheerfulness-
with hilarity, the Greek says. That is
lust the trouble with much of our for
giveness and mercy and .charity-it
lacks the supreme quality Of delight
and 10y. 1t is sour, constrained and
grudgiug. We do it because we think
we ought TO. There is 10 gladness
about it. But you see at once TO what a
new level the virtue is lifted when its
manifestation is the outcome Of a glad
and cheerful heart. Then it becomes
winsome and charming. We may be
grateful for the charitable judgment,
ing temper. but we love the one who
manifests these qualities il be is cheer
ful in displaying them. 1t would be
easy to show that il is this little phrase
with cheerfulness," that makes the
perfume and charm Of every virtue. Ii
Mary of Bethany had anointed the
ro,f-s feet with orudping heart and a
reluctant hand the world would not
have been filled with the odor Of her
ointment. 1t does not make any an
ference how good you are, if you lack
the flavor of cbeerfulness. you lack that
which lifts your deed and spirit to the
highest realm. You spoil your bes'
work for want Of that supreme touch
Without it what you may do may b'
good, but with it what you do is mol
only good, but beauiiiul.--Bosior

WHAT IS CONVERSION7
r. ligi0us significance Of the Term
The Difficulty That Lies I'm
simple Act.

The term conversion has acquired a
definite religious significance. 1t
means turning about, a reversal of
ones course, the abandonment of
ones purpose of life hitherto. OF of
ones neglect to have a positive pur-
pose and the substitution Of a dis
tinct, earnest controlling intent to
serve God by loving and initiating
Jesus Christ To speak of the conver-
sion of anyone is to be understood
TO mean that a radical and perma-
nent change has taken place in him,
and that henceforth the supreme OBJ
iect Of his life is loyal obedience to
Cod.
Wherein. then. lies the difficulty Of
conversion? Why is IL not natural
and easy when one is convinced. as all
are convinced at times, of sinfulness
and need of redemption? IL lies in
the ingrained hostility of the human
heart toward the commands of God
which call for entire subordination
of self and for conservation to Him
and His service. There are persons
whose lives are so worthy that con-
version when it occurs produces lit
tie apparent change in their daily
conduct. Yet they would be as ready
as any to testify TO the difficulty ex-
perienced in submitting themselves to
the will of God.
II may be that their difficulty was
all the greater because they felt them
selves free from sins which no one can
commit without shame because of
their publicity. No one can be a
drunkard for example. without know
ing that he is doing wrong. But the
excessive love Of money. Of power, Of
public praise. being but exaggerations
Of virtues, often fail to impress as
with their guilt. and the need of peni-
tence and reform is much more diff
cult TO be realized. il costs a sharp
twinge Of ones whole being to ac-
knowledge that one has been wrong
all ones life. and that however fair
and beautiful the structure Of char
acter, il needs to be rebuilt from the
foundation. This is always true when
one is converted. and it indicates the
difficulty to be faced
Fortunately conversion involves no
intellectual perplexity or complica-
ton. II is perfectly simple. 1t means
the surrender of every other aim and
the determination. firm and unfalter-
ing. 10 love God and to do His will no
matter what our circumstances. 1t is
the substitution of this dominant pur-
pose in place of any and every other,
no matter what. All persons are not
converted in the same manner; no
dramatic. violent experience is neces-
sary. Conversion may be as tranquil
and uneventful as any other expert
ence, but il must reach TO the very
roots of life. 1t must assume and
maintain control of the ruling motives
Of conduct 1t may not modify ex-
ternal conditions to any great extent,
but ii must alter their meaning to us
and their infuence.-Boston Congre-
0ationalist
