REVERENCE FOR SACRED THINGS.
The Christian F,ndeavor topic for the
week beginning June 16, is found in Exc

or Moses is made the basis of a discus
sion upon reverence. We are living in
an age characterized by irreverence The
beliefs and traditions of the past are
treated in the most f1ippant manner In
the home the respect of children to
parents is sadly lacking. There is not
the respect for authority and for those
who are in places of authority that there
once was. 1t is not to be wondered at
that this spirit should also perYade the
atmosphere of religion and should man
itest itself there. That this has been the
case is only too sadly true Reverence

WHAT WE OWE TO FRIENDS

WHAT WE OWE TO FRIENDS.
We do not always realize how much
of the happiness of life we owe to our
friends. 1t may seem to be a trivial
thing that you happen to have consid--
crate and congenial neighbors, whom
you like to meet on the street, or to
have run in to spend an evening; but
when you reflect how pleasant this asso-
citation is. and what 1t would mean to
you and to your family to remove to
some strange place, where you had to
make acquaintance all over. you begin
to look at the matter in different light.
After you have passed a certain age, 1t
is almost impossible to make new
friends, and for such people a change f
residence to a place among strangers is
little less than a calamity. 1t is not
merely sympathy and the sense of hui
man comradeship and interest that our
friends give US; they are most yalua-
BILE means of education. If they are wise

studentE will give you in an evenings
chat the insight into many volumes And
even when your friend does not have
attainments beyond your ownit is worth
while to correct your point of view upon
many matters by discussion and argu-
ment. But reelember that he that would
have friends must show himself friendly

SUMMER DARING.

SUMMER DARING.
In the summer time, the season of the
pleasure-seeker, one is forcibly reminded
of how large a part the element of dan
ger plays in the modern ideal of amuse-
ment. 1t almost SENS as if the pleasure
was in proportion to the danger, or, as
the sport lover would say, the danger
makes it interesting" Accidents 10
pleasure parties are everyday truisms,
and one seldom picks up a paper that
does not tell of bather who ventured
too far a boating party that was too
daring, or a rider who risked too much.
But the most pathetic parody of pleas
ure is that which in the name of sport
and entertainment causes it's participants
to be strained to the point of collapse
and to lay up for themselves future
physical miseries
