The Right View Of Life.

If we could restrain our often too-ready
tongues and fiery tempers until the storms
of human, every-hour and everyday trials
pass over, what shadows we would arise
through!-aye, smiling, as we saw them
vanishing into the distant ~nothingness of
oblivion. If we could but reason calmly
and patiently and resolutely with our
selves, as we betimes must bear the foot
bruises along life's rugged pathway, and
battle them in His heavenly dew of hope
until even the scars leave not a vestige of
their existence as we gaze upon them
again with the ~solacing eyes Of eternal
faith: if we could only train our human
ears to listen to the tolls of sorrow that re-
bound upon them as we p~erforce must Of
ten see the heavy clouds falling upon some
beloved breast; if we could only train our
hearts to thrill with the ecstacv of a higher
trust and a supremer love instead of NOR

estal. of, loyal friendship and honor upon
which our love elected their endurance,
had turned to mock us, or thrown us help
lessly aside, or traduced us by calumnv or
distrustful suspicious. All, yes! if we only
could do these things how different would
our lives seem in their passing. But we
must only try, remembering our Saviour's
heavy heart and cross-wearied shoulders,
and His bleeding feet on the lonely road to
Calvary. He also had to reach the immor-
tai goal of peace through life's bitterest
shadows. He smiled angelicallv at His en-
emies, and to-day He turns-oh! we know
not how often-to blot out the sins of His
wandering human fold as they cry out to
Him for mercy below.-Christian Work.

The Fathers Hand.

Nor is the sense of safety all that is
awakened in the memory Of a fathers
hand. It tells also of guidance and COM
panionship. Not only in stormy evenings
was the large hand reached down to clasp
the little one. But memory is filled with
pleasant outlines aud beauties of the copn-
try, always. guided by the fathers hand.
The hand of father came to mean SO much,
both Of pleasure and comfort, that the
phrase is never seen or used but a sacred
tenderness steals into the heart. All this
and much more the Heavenly Father is to
His children. We reserve our thoughts Of
the Father too frequently to the days of
stress and grief, and forget it is the Father
Who gives the joys and pleasures, toe. We
imagine falsely that His care is confined
to circumstances that call for pity. His
hand is a bountiful hand, filled with pleas
ures: The way is dark; my Father takes
my hand" is often upon our lips, but just
as true and far more frequently the path
has many flowers, all planted by one hand,
life has many gifts all planted by one hand,
the days are crowded with JOYS all show
cred from one hand. And this hand is
my Fathers hand."-Episcopal Recorder.

THE LOVE OF GOD.
III, Would that we might understand
the meaning Of the expression "the love Of
God" It is limited at in this world. Pass
ing along the streets one hears the words
of a song or catches the strains of a piece
Of music being played, and he says, that
is from Beethoven or Mozart. l recognize,
the movement" So in this life we catch
in the mothers disinterested, self-denying
love; we see it in the lovers glow, and in
the little chi,d's innocent affection. but
these things are only hints. The Bible
gives lis the hest revelation. BEGINNING
with Genesis the scroll is constantly I'M
folding. Patriarchs and prophets. judges
and kings each tell their story: 50, little
by little we get flashes out Of His great
heart until they all come together as the
rays OF the sun are converged IN the sun

was not. however, until the. Son of Right
eousness arose at the advent that there.
came The morning light which gives us the
thought. not of the administration OF God:
but of His heart. What is infinite love?,
The purest, sweetest, tenderest thing
known on earth is the overhanging heart
Of a mother over the cradle that contains
her babe that can give nothing back: re-
ceiving everything and returning nothing
vet the love of the mother is but a drop
in the ocean when compared with the love
Of God. It is infinite, infinite!
@ There's a wilderness in Gods mere,
Like the Wilderness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
~ For the love Of God is broader
Than the measure Of man's mind,
And the heart Of the Eternal
u most wonderfully kind.
Over iii England an archdeacon, having
reached almost the end Of his life. had his.
home so constructed that he could spend
his closing days in sunshine. In the morn
ing they 'piaced his chair so that he could
turn his face toward the east and see the
rising sun; at noontime they wheeled his
chair into the south window. where he
could behold the sun in his meridian but
him in the west window, where he could
behold the king of day sinking behind the
distant hills. So let me ask you in the
morning of your. life to keep your faces to-
ward the east window, and at noontide
live in the south window. but when even
ing comes turn your face toward the west
window, so that all your journey through
YOU may live in the sunshine, and thus
keep yourselves in the love of God.
