Let "a Be Thankful.

We are to be thankful for the joys oi
our lives, for health and prosperity and
troops OF friends and a happy home, fol
the success of our plans and the hope oi
future attainments and victories; for all
the sunshine, gladness and triumph with
which we have been favored we should
certainly be grateful. Every blessing has
come from the opulent and loving hand
Of our Heavenly Father. II our cup is full
ceive it with thanksgiving.
But in the portion Of most of Us bitter
has been mingled with the sweet. This is
not because God has loved US less. We ap-
preciate the sweet better wien We do not
have it all the time, and the bitter is Of.
ten medicinal. Even human philosophy
recognizes that trials are helpful to the
discipline of character, and the New Tes'
lament teaches US that the deepest Joy
and the loftiest sovereignty are essentially
related to sorrow and suffering. Were our
spiritual vision more perfect We would
see that. our trials, bereavements, hard
battles, have done more for US that our
bravely and patiently endured.

God tho Pernanent Factor II Life.

The passing Of the world Is matter q
every mans experience. Friends have died,
conditions of living have changed, bodily
powers have waxed or waned. The world
to-day is not the world we knew ten years
ago. There are buried hopes and aspira.
tons. There are new fashions, thoughts
and purposes, which meet us as q man
meets travellers face to face upon his jour.
ney and then pass by. The world goes on
in cease'ess picturesque procession: At
last we weary of the show. We tire Of
the excitement OF our life. The zest OF
pleasure dies. It seems incredible that
we should change, except to grow in
strength, but we awake to find that We
are growing ola, which is the shadow OF
death upon all merely worldly pleasure.
There is no permanence in any condition
or relation OF our advancing or declining
life. 1t comes up like a flower, but un.
less it takes hold on some enduring force
outside itself it dies like flower to make

An order urging temperance reform N
the army has been promulgated by Sccre-
tary Root, by direction of President
Roosevelt. The orders refers to immoral
ity in the service, and says it Is the duty
Of officers to point out to their men the
strong drink. The order says; -,
by direction Of the President, the ~:
tention of the officers and enlisted men OF
the army, especially of those serving In
the tropics and away from home, Is called
to the following facts: 49,,
"The only really efficient way in which
to control the diseases due to immoraiity
In to diminish the vice which IL the cause
of these diseases. Excessive indulgence IN
strong drink is absolutely certain to rum
any man, physically and morally; while
disease due to Gcentiousness produces ef,
fects which are quite as destructive ana
even NOR loathsome.
1T is the duty of regimental, and partic-
ularly Of company, officers, to try BY pre-
cept and example to point out TO the men
under their control, and particularly TO
the younger men, the inevitable misery
and disaster which follow upon intemper;;
ance and upon moral uncleanliness and
vicious living. The officers should, OF
course. remember always that the effect
of what they say must largely depend
upon the lives they themselves lead. 1t
is in the highest degree necessary that
each officer should be an example to his
men in the way Of temperate and clean'y
living.
