COMPENSATION.
Reward Lies I'm the work We DO ns
Wen as I'm the Wages We
Receive

In the wages of the life, not in the
wages of the trade, lie reward; the
work Is here the wages" saws Robert
Louis Stevenson, in speaking of the
life given up to art.
How wide the application to other
lines of work! Take, for instance.
the teacher toiling faithfully among
her turbulent young charges. Does
the beggarly pittance usually accord
ed compensate for the OUTPUT of
nervous energy, for the expenditure
of life and soul? No; but the life
itself does, If so be she is Heaven
called to her work." it is its own ex-
ceeding great reward. She does not
measure the strain, the call upon
her vital force in counteracting ac-
quired tendencies or inherited traits.
Love keeps no debit or credit ac-
count. She loves her work. The
young souls looking up to her for
guidance are very dear to her. For
little while they are hers to mold.
The responsibility is great, the re-
ward is greater.
And so we might go on through the
list. The writer, the minister, the pi-
oneer in a nobly unpopular cause
how seldom is the ''pay" COM
mensurate with the strength expend-
ed! But the worker who has "found
his work" as Carlyle puts it, is not
concerned greatly about the appar-
ent inequality of things. His friends
may mourn that he is inadequately
remunerated, but he goes quietly on
his way content, knowing full well
that ''In the wages of the life, not in
the wages of the trade" lie his re-
ward-Young People.

THE UNTRoUBLED HEART.
1t In Christien Duty TO Live Free
from Fretting Cares ana
Worries

1t is the high privilege Of the Chris
tian, every day and In all the exigen-
cies of life, to fulfill the Lords exhort-
ation--an exhortation which In almost
command-"Let not your heart be
troubled" That IL may be fulfilled is
evident alone from the fact that IL
was seriously declared. Christ spoke
no idle word. Whether He spoke In
parable or metaphor. He always spoke
deliberately. expecting that His word
would be received, considered and act
edupon. Sowhen lie says: "I et not vour
heart be troubled" we must under
stand that He expects every follower
OF His to live every day and all the DAYS
without a troubled heart. But this nm
troubled life is not to be gained by
mere resolution OF by blind obedience
TO the command. With the saving:
"Let not your heart be troubled"--in-
timately Joined to II Is that other
word: I'VE believe in God, believe also
In me-" The life of perfect peace Is
found only by those who believe inn
picitly In Christ. 1t is not enough to
believe in God; we must believe also in
Him whom God has sent-even Jesus
Christ. In Christ all the mysteries of
our lives are explained. Hardship, on
position, cruel circumstances. death
and pain are all explained in Him and
are all seen TO have no triumph over
Him. But more than by the explana-
ton of the mysteries of life does Christ
give us peace. His presence drives
away cares as the sun scatters the
shadows and the mists. And He &c al
ways present, or will be, If He is well
come "Lo, am with you always"
is His promise to the church and to
every believer."-N. w. Christian Ad-
vocate.

REPENTANCE.
Essier to Regret Results OF SIN Than
to Recognize the Hatefulness
of Sin Itself

When repentance becomes obsolete,
either Christianity will have persisted
from the earth, or been fulfilled in the
perfection OF humanity. Christ began
His mission by calling men to repent.
he puts the words into the mouths Of
His disciples as they go to prepare a
way for Him. 1t is the message of His
witnesses to-day. Without repentance
He can promise no forgiveness. For
only in Sorrowing and turning from
his sin does man put himself in the
place where God can save and guide.
Mans conscience acknowledges this
Slain. The sense of sin is preparation
OF heart for the message of Christ's
life and death. It is those who feel no
responsibility and acknowledge no
transgression to whom the story of
the cross makes no appeal. Only those
who are content with their own pres
emit character and ignorant of their
transgressions are without hope.
Christ sent first, after his resurrection,
TO the Jerusalem sinners who had cru
cited Him. He sends to-day like
promise of blessing to all who will re-
pent.
The prevailing sin Of this genera
ton is unbelief. Soft has always been.
1t may arise from different sources; 1t
may manifest itself in different ways.
But IL men believed in the Judgment of
God and the grace Of God which brings
repentance, they would not so easily
become the victims OF the lust Of the
flesh, and the lust Of the eyes, and the
pride Of life. II men believed in the
fatherhood OF God they would not sin
so light-heartedly against the broth
erhood of man. "God Is not in all their
thoughts" is the chief count In the
indictment which conscience, enlight-
ened by the Holy Spirit, must bring
against the age. All sins come back
to this at last. Absence Of faith is
like that want OF bodily vigor which
let's in the forces of disease. Make
the body immune by an indwelling and
excluding strength, and there will be
no more infection.
True repentance, joined with de-
vout and earnest sense Of stewardship
for God, is the best prophylactic
against lukewarm worldiIness. God
has trusted us with His own work on
alive with enthusiasm of Gods pur-
pose. what space would be left for en-
vying and strife? IL social life were
leavened by the spirit Of Christ, would
there be room for neglects OF consider
alton, wastes Of energy and cruelties
OF pride? IL the fatherhood of God
were reality, would It not be light
to guide His children past the glamour
OF temptaion2
Repentance is not complete without
forsaking. It Is easy to regret the
fruits of sin; the difficulty is to rec
ognize the hateful nature of the sin
Itself. The inevitable suffering which
follows evil choice is but the shadow
OF the loss child Of God must suffer
when he enters into league with the en-
emies of God, the sorrow which trans
gression brings TO the loving heart of
our Heavenly Father.-BoSton Conpre-
gationalist

Union Hill, n. j., and asked for a
pair of shoes, the clerk noticed moth
ing unusual about his appearance
1t will be apparent from what fol-
lows that Diehl is possessed of n
remarkably fine sense of humor. Said
he to the obliging clerk:
Gimme a pair o. button. shoes"
While the clerk was getting down
the goods Diehl unfastened his
wooden leg and prepared himself for
the merry jest that was to follow.
The clerk had some difficulty in get
ting the worn-out shoe off the hick-
DRY limb and Diehl observed it, re-
marking:
saw, bend yer back, why don't
yer?"
kinder sticks, don't itP' said the
clerk, pleasantly. With this he bent
his back so successfully that he car
ried away shoe, foot, leg and all
and landed on his back into the bar
gain.
When the boot seller sat up and
saw what he had done he was over
whelmed with horror.
Great g-g-g-goodnessl" he gasped.
Il didn't m-m-mean to do it."
The genial Mr.. Diehl was purple in
the face. while a negro porter who
had stood by started on the run for
an ambulance. AS soon as Diehl
could spare time from the holding of
his sides he remarked to the crest
fallen clerk:
That's all right, young Teller, but
y want to be careful how you start
to pull of my leg"
Diehi got his shoes at a rate that
he himself admitted was ''real rea-
sonable."

A Response to God.

Repentance is more than a human
resolve, more than turning from sin,
more than turning toward God; it
is a response to God, the climax of a
state of mind in which God seeks us
ere we seek him. Never have
you reflected over discreditable past,
an unsatisfactory present, or a dis
Quoted future, but God has been pres
entin your pensiveness. Every feebIest
wish within yourself for better things,
for nobler life, was and is the work Of
that Spirit who helpeth our infirmi-
ties. You are not alone in the
struggle, and never were; you NAV
have distrust for your own state of
mind; there is TO need to have, for
God made it; let the climax of your
inward striving be: 81 viii arise, and
go to my Father" Or if faith and will
be feeble, then rest upon the beautiful
words of Him who spake as never man
spake: 81 am the good Shepherd; the
good Shepherd giveth His life for the
sheep."-R. J. Campbell.
