So set open the wide gate Of my

mercy and pardon Of God-yea, still
further, into the ruins Of the place
where once was kept the knowledge Of
your iniquities. The place has been
torn down and the records destroyed.
and you will find the ruins more dilapi-
dated and broken and PROSTATE than
the ruins Of Melrose or Kenilworth. for
from these last ruins you can pick up
some fragment of sculptured stone
or you can see the curve Of some bro

Equal

Equal Partners, by Howard
Fielding, will be our next serial.
This is a story of mystery. The
interest aroused in the first
chapter is admirably sustained
to the end. A beautiful actress
is found in her room in New
York dangerously stabbed, with
one chance in a million for her
life. Who stabbed her? The
reader forms opinions to quickly
abandon them as the story rap
idly unfolds. The identity OF
the criminal is so skillfully yelled
that it is not discovered until
the end. Our readers who are
good at solving mysteries in
stories will find something
worthy of their powers il

Happiuess In Helping Others.

How often we hear people say that
they are never so happy as when they
are helping others. and how true 1t Is
that he who lives for self cannot be
happy. Selfshness and avarice in the
heart are incompatible with happiness
The social instinct is one of the stron-
gest elements Of the human soul. It's
basis Is love. Love inspires benevo-
lencc, and benevolence reioices in re-
lieving the sufferings Of others. There
