OVERCOMING HARIr

oIIered prize to the boy who should
Write the best composition in five min

At the expiration Of the allotted time
the composition was read The prize
went to lad of nine years. Following
is his essay:
well, sir habit is hard to overcome.
If you take off the first letter it does
not change 'abit.' If you take off an
other you still have a bit left. If YOU
take off still another the whole Of it
remains. If you take off another it is
not wholly used up; all of which goes
to show that if you want to get rid of a
habit you must throw it off altogether"

be done by the constant practice of right
and generous action, for so we may

one glad sweet song
Alice Cary, whose lovely life express
ed the genuine, pure sentiment Of her
verse, sang:
True worth is in being. not seeming,
In doing each day as goes by
Some little good, not in dreaming
~, OF great things to do by and by;
| For there's nothing so kingly as Kindness
And nothing so royal as TRUTH
The Ills of life are doubly burdensome
! when we brood over them. The lows of
| life are blurred by the shadow of anxiety
| which we throw upon them. If we could
| be made to believe that God knows how
! to rule the universe and would quietly
| live from day to day, refusing to suffer
| from the sorrows we anticipate many Of
| which never arrive and nearly all of
| which we exaggerate, our pulses would
| beat more regularly, the clouds would
| have silver lining and the sunshine
would be more genial. We make things
harder to bear by dwelling on their hard
| ness.
Everything fair and good that was ours
| during 1901 will be ours during 1902 Dr.
! ]. R. Miller illustrates this truth with
| the picture of the ''Angelus." If it were
| lent to us and we hung it up in our room
then returned it. we would really have
| the picture forever in our memory
Zone kiss on warm and loving lips
Is worth thousand funeral flowers,
| And one glad day of tender love
Outweighs an age of mourning hours. -

Kingdom of God in this life Heaven is
