Into the Vast Forever.
What may we carry to the vast for
ever?
The mystic stair
Admits not gold. nor whatsoever
OF pOmp or pride we wear
These pass not there.
Nor may we take within the sacred
portal
Our books and art,
Into the life immortal
No idol OF the heart:
With these we part.
We may not carry to the land supernal
Our boasted creeds,
These drop and disappear like bios
SONS,
And all our deeds
Are poor as weeds.
But character and conscience shall at
tend us.
The genial flow
OF sympathizing hearts and sense stu
pendous
OF happiness or woe
Shall with as go.
For eharity's fair form is ever parted,
The pearly door
For all the sanctihed and holy-hearted
II spreads the golden floor,
Foreyermorel
Upward from the vast forever
Naked we come.
Lord clothe us with Thy robe, that we
may never
Be put to fear or shame,
Who own Thy name.
Ask we the Pleiades OF grand Orion
To lend a ray?
While journeying TO the hill OF Zion
Thou art the light the way,
Nor need we stray.
From Thee the glory Of the life eternal
Forever beams
With Thee our days shall glide ia JOY

feshly follies of the sons Of men. How
quickly 1t lays hold Of our truant
thoughts and turns them 10 its own
use Like some hideous beast. It
crouches at the door OF our hearts,
and the very first instant an evil

that evil thoughts evil imaginings,
evil desires have but little soil to grow
in. They fall as it we're upon ster-
iiized surfaces, upon soil fortified
against their pernicious activity. The
process Of sanctihcauon also starves
sin. As the process OF sanctihcation
advances in the soul Of the believer.
sin finds less and less to live upon.
This. Of course, each Christian Is Ia
duty bound to make sure that he IS not
in his own heart-life providing sin
with any congenial soil OF the sup
ports which assist its development and
spread. A very excellent way Of get
ting rid Of sin Is By strategy The
surest protection against evll IS to
live in an atmosphere Of good When
the heart Is possessed By an overmas-
tering love for Christ. love for the
world cannot hold its sway over Il.
When the hands are occupied with
good works little leisure left for un-
righteous dolngs when good fully
occupies the ground evil cannot root
itself and stay. That IS royal
strategy the apostle suggests when be
says. BE not overcome OF evil: but
overcome evil With good. Neither
give place to the devil" That IS. keep
him out BY having no vacant room for
him to enter Let him find every
room full" when he seeks to be your
guest. Pre-empt the heart with grace.
FIn the mind with good Turn your
ginations toward heavenly things.
Fix your desires on holy things. Oc-

Man welcomes the assurance that he
Is not an orphan in the universe. The
power to bring comfort in life and in
death is a large part of the attraction
Of the gospel. This has been pointed
out even by those who did not them
selves share this comfort.
Mr. Lecky hardly can be classed as
Christian believer. but in his ac-
count Of the Methodist movement, he
lays just stress on this element in the
teaching which In the hour Of death
rdiyerts the wandering mind from an
painful and perlexing retrospect. con-
centrates the imagination on one Sac
red Figure. and has enabled thousands
TO encounter death with perfect calm,
and has c0nsoled innumerable mourn
ers az time when all the common
places OF philosophy would appear the
idlost OF sounds" And George Eliot
bears the same testimony IN her
'Janet's Repentance" and her Adam
Bede, although she for herself re-
jeeted such comfort as a spiritual
opiate" Colonel Hlgg.nson points TO
such hymns as How firm a founda-
ton. We saints Of the Lord, as a bull
wark against the spread of inhdelity

ence Of the great mysteries Of life and

are. that the true measure Of our char

only when our mind Is becoming more
open 10 the truth, when our heart Is
becoming more gentle, when the peace
Of God is possessing us more and more
fully. and when we are giving our life
more unreservedly and sweeting 10
the service Of others in Christ's name.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion sof the ear.
There IS only one way TO cure deaf
ness. anu that is by constitutional rem
odies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When thls

Ling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness Is
the result. and unless the innamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh
which Is nothing but an iniiamed
