The Fruit of the Spirit.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, long suffering, gentleness, good
ness, faith, meekness. temperance. AS
the earth seems fresh from the hands
of its Creator when leaf and blossom
are hung with jewels of the morning
dew, so life is a new life when the
Spirit of God touches it. Love. joy,
peace. long suffering. gentleness, faith,
meekness. self control-are not these
the sum and substance of moral
beauty? All. friend. they will never
come to you or me until God has laid
His hand upon US and said. Thou art
My beloved son." Duty will always be
service under whip of scorpions-eye
service, lip service, drudgery-until we
hear God, with a voice like a mothers
voice and smile like sunshine, asking,
ssWhom shall send and who will 60
for Me?" And then we will answer,
''Lo, ! Conner In the volume of the
book it is written, 81 rejoice to do Thy

A correspondent sends to the Londor
Spectator the following anecdote:
The servant man Of a family took kit
ten to pond with the intention of drown
Ing it. His masters dog went with him
and when the kitten was thrown into the
water the dog sprang in and brought II
back to land.
A second time the man threw it in. and
again the dog rescued it, and when fol-
the third time the servant tried to drown
1t the dog. as resolute to save the little
helpless life as the man was to destroy il,
swan with it 10 the other side of the
pool ran all the way home with it and
deposited it before the kitchen fire.
From that time the dog kept constant
watch over the kitten. The two were in
separable, even sharing the same bed.

If we have the spirit of Christ, we
can be hopeful and happy in the dark
est hour. A good old commentator
says:
Gods people have reason to mourn
over their sins, their sufferings. the
lbuffetings of their deadly enemy. their
fellow men, the abominable crimes Of
the day, the perdition of thousands and
the general blindness and hardness Of
mems hearts; but they can always re-
joice in the Spirit, in God and in Christ,
in blessed hope, in foretastes of fu-
fture glory, and that their names are
written in heaven.
Then let us heed the exhortation.
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again
] say rejoice. Herald and Presbyter.

NEAR, NOTHING OFF! AND FULL AND BY
How often, we beat along,
With wind ahead and blowing strong,
We hear our watchful captain cry,
"Nearl Nothing of and full and byl"
So when In life our steps begin
To tread the devious paths of sin,
May conscience wake our timely fear.
Uttering her warning cry of "Near,"
And when from truths unerring line,
Our coward lips would dare decline,
Then may we heed-though fools should seoff-
Her stern injunction, Nothing off"
Virtue and vice to win us try;
Be then our watchword "Full and byl"
Safe course through this world to another,
Is full of one.and By the other.

This One Motive.

The religion of Christ is not a law,
but spirit; not creed, but life. To
this one motive of love God has in
trusted the whole work of winning the
souls of His redeemed. The heart of
lman was made for love pants and
pines for it. Only in the love of Christ
and not in restrictions can his soul ex-
pand. Now, it was reserved for one to
pierce with the glance of intuition
down into the springs of human action
and to proclaim the simplicity of its
machinery. Love-" said the apostle
after Him-'1ove is the fulfilling Of the
IaW."-Lutheran.

o'clock, and the church was filled to its
utmost capacity. Aside from the
church membership, many protestant
friends of the parish were present. Rev.
Father Hsrtigan, of Marion, was cele-
brsnt, and he was assisted by Rev.
Fathers Murtagh, Of Masonville, Nc

The young ladies confirmed were
dressed in the customary white, and the
church was decorated with cut flowers
and ported plants and presented very
inviting appearance. The singing also
deserves special mention.

forceful speaker, and those who heard
his sermon will find it impossible to for

FlNIcKY TURKISH LADIES.
They Are Very Careful About What
They Take In Their Hands.

They Are Very Careful About What
They Take In Their Hands.
Our Constantinople correspondent
writes: 1t Is not generally known that
there exists among Turkish ladies' Of
high class kind Of caste feeling SINH
lar to that prevailing among Hindoos.
1t takes the form Of a fear Of contami-
nation from the outer world and is only
observed, as far as know, by those
who cannot afford to keep servants in
sufficient numbers. Before meals ladies
always wash their hands at tap from
which the water runs into q marble
basin. They will turn on the tap when
they are just going to wash, but when
they have finished they let the water
run till somebody shuts 1t off, as to do
1t themselves would make them un-
clean. They cannot open or shut door,
as the handle would be unclean, so a
slave is generally kept handy for the
purpose.
One Of these fastidious ladies' was
talking to small niece the other day
who had just received present of n
beautiful doll from Paris. The child
presently laid the doll on the lady's
lap, who was Mortified and ordered the
child to take 1t away. As the little girl
would not move 1t and no servant was
near, and the lady would be detiled by
touching doll that was brought from
abroad, the only thing she could think
of was to jump up and let the doll fall,
which broke to pieces. The same lady
win not open letter coming by post,
but servant opens 1t and holds II
near her for her to read. If her hand.
kerchief falls to the ground, 1t is imme'
diately destroyed or given away, sc
that she should not use 1t again. This
curious state Of exclusiveness or fanati
cism exists, am told, in many Of the
large harems. Among men 1t is moi
practiced. London Telegraph.

Give Everybody, . Chance.

Emerson's dictum that we should
trent every one us If he were all he
ought to be is an excellent rule to prac-
tice in daily life. 1t Is human nature
to rise to the level that is expected OF
it. 1t is not necessary to waste time
upon uncongenial people unless you are
bound to them by strong family ties,
but 1t is Important that all with whom
you come in contact be studied, with
the desire on your part to give credit
for, AL that is good in them and that
nothing in their outward circumstances
or appearance be allowed to prejudice
you against them.-Ada O. Sweet II
