high hedges, so characteristic of Ken

hedge grew great gnarled and knotted
oaks. In the darkness these took all
sorts of shapes to my excited imagin-
alton. and like Henry in the poem
of "The Sign POST"

In deadly white it upward rose,

And held Its naked arms across

But I remembered the rest of the poem.
I recalled that Harry,
Calling all his courage up, =
Straight to the goblin went
And eager through the dismal gloom,
His piercing eyes he bent.
I remembered also the lesson which he
learned when he found that what he
feared was nothing but a sign post after
And well, thought he, one thing I've
learned,
Nor soon shall forget,
Whatever frightenS me again,
To march straight up to it,
I followed the example of the hero
of the little poem, and then and there
began a struggle which ended in par
tial victory, for, Of course, my fears
did not vanish forever at once.
But had learned another lesson
from the story of Henry, and from
many subsequent experiences, which
has stood me in good stead for many
long years, and that is never to shirk
a difficulty, but always to March
straight UP to it." Often one sees trou-
BILE ahead, feels he is in a tight place,
and is tempted to get around it rather
than to face it, thus making the diff
ficulty all the greater in the end. How
much smaller the trouble grows the
nearer you approach it, and how much
more easily 1t is overcome If you

LEFT A RECORD OF GOOD WORKS.
The news of the death of the Rev.
DR.. Thomas Gallaudet, of New York,
will cause mourning in many lands.
He was the worthy son of worthy
father. When a young man, that faith
er, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, liv-
ing at Hartford, Conn.,, had frequent
occasion to pity a neighbours little
daughter who, through scarlet fever,
had lost the power of speech and
hearing. He finally managed to COM
municate with her by system of sig
nails with the figures, and it was not
long before he taught the girl how to
read. Others similarly afflicted applied
to Mr.. Gallaudet for similar inStruc-
ton, and the result was the young
mans conservation to the noble life

institution in Hartford, the first per-

that. as the elder Gallaudet married
a deaf-mute, the son, Thomas Gallau-
det, did likewise, devoting himself to
his fathers endeavor and consecrating
himself specially to the work of the
ministry. The story is told that at the
outset of his career he found a young

THE FULLNEss OF GOD.

The Epworth League topic for Sept.
Fl is found in Ephesians ILL.,, 1921.
The thought and prayer and wish Of
Paul was that his people be filled with
Gods fullness. Wszniay have the mind
that was in Christ. The very nature
of God can be impaired to us until we
become in very fact partakers of the
divine nature. The means of reading
this experience are active exercise of
the powers we have and the giving
is of special gifts on the part Of God.
A person who naturally has mathe
NAUTICAL gifts finds in the world around
indications of number, proportion,
lines, angles and relations of parts
such as most persons never see. Deep
er and deeper he goes into mysteries
Of surfaces, solids, distances, motions.
velocities, rising from earth into the
heavens until he can weigh the stars
as accurately as other men weigh coal
or grain, and trace the motions of
worlds as others watch the course of
a train of cars.
Some have an artistic temperament
and discover beauty where others had
never seen it. They reproduce senti-
ment and preserve in permanent form
the passing passion. on canvas, IN
stone or metal, by painting, sculpture
or architecture, they embody the i'm
material fancy and make visible the
Intangible life of soul.
In like manner there are religious
elements In our natures which can dis
cover and appropriate the spiritual ele-
ments in the world around us. The
highest revelation of God to men is not
mathematical nor artistic in it's ma
tiare, but spiritual and moral. The eth
ical side of our nature allies us most
closely with the deepest nature of
Deity. Not His works, but Himself in
essential characteristics is grasped and
known in true devotion. Number and
beauty are seen in all the works Of ma
ture, which are but the work of God,
showing His thought and accomplish
ing His. purposes, but love is an at
tribute Of His nature and most fully
characterizes Him. In loving we exer-
else a power of our nature which is
similar in kind to love in God. By
this power of affection we come to
know Him and participate in His bless
edness. Hatred is the opposite, the
antitheSiS of love.
The animal nature prompts to self
qualification and knows only fieshly
appeties. When by self mastery the
spirit rules the body and brings all
powers into subsection and co-opera-
ton and yields all in glad obedience
and the perfect abandon of love; when
self is sacrificed in the great soul sur
render TO it's supreme object of desire
and devotion, the fullness of God flows
in and fills all the capacities of the
being. Height after height is seen and
scaled, and affection and divine regard
are revealedlin Wondrous measures and
ways undreamed of by the mind in its
natural condition. The pure in heart
see God where other eyes find an utter
blank.
Whoever would secure the afullness
of God in any measure must devote
himself to Knowing and being like
God. Then as surely as mathematics
and artist discover truth in their
realms, so will he find God imparting
love passing knowledge, for He sis able
to do exceeding abundantly above all
that we ask or think
