Spear Points.

Purpose is what gives life meaning.
Circumstances may change, but God
never does.
The breadth 0; Christianity depends on
its depth.
God puts consolation only where He has
li:st put pain.
Early athletics will not suffice for the
heavenly race.
In this life there is but one sure happi-
ness-to live for others.
Expect God to help you when you have
prayed for His assistance.
True greatness is ability to serve coupled
with meek and quiet spirit.
When the Lord is in our hearts His hand
will he seen in OR works.
Never take Your eye off the cross, as all
the lines of salvation centre there.
Poverty OF possessions need not be dis
creditable: poverty of life always is.
\ Thousand times better are the men
who do than the weaklings who only know.
The loving judgments OF friends are
harder to bear than the harsh ones of foes.
All Gods providences are but His
touches of the strings of the great instru-
men; OF the world.
When YOU step up on one promise you
will always find a higher and better one
before yoi.
The self-centred life comes to nought;
the Cnrist-centred life ever continues in
enlargement

be learned in the garden, ard beneath the

Croatia, Hungary. without any ex

Work Makes Men.

Work is given to men not only, nor so
much. perhaps. because the word needs it.
Men make work. but work makes men.
An Office is not place Tor making money,
i is place for making men. A workshop
is not a pace for making machinery, for
lifting engines and turning cylinders; it is
4 place for making souls; for fitting in the
virtues to ones life; for turning out hon
est, modest, whole-natured men. For
Providence cares less for winning causes
than that men. whether losing or winning.
should be great and true: cares nothing
that reforms should drag their cause from
year to year bewildcringly. but that men
and nations. in carrying them out. should
