WHAT WISDOM DENIED US.
Hhe Most Fatal Gift That Could Be
Conferred ON Mankind.

Conferred on Mankind.
Granted the power to do it, which
would be the most fatal gift that could
be conferred on mankind?
Omnipotence without omniscience
An omnipotent man, with the best of
intentions toward his kind, could cas-
lily wreck the universe and probably
would, since, unless he knew every
thing, he would infallibly make some
mistake which could not fail to have
very terrible consequences. Next to
this would be the power of foreseeing
events. This would eliminate the great
est factor in human happiness, because
the man who could foresee everything
would have no hope. He would not
only know his own fate, but that of all
other human beings and also all their
feelings and intentions, which, of itself
alone, would make society impossible.
Equally terrible would be the power
of prolonging life at will, since no man
or woman would willingly die so long
as life remained even tolerable. This
Is proved by the shocking conditions
under which people now consent to
live. The race would probably con-
tinue to multiply indefinitely until all
the habitable portions of the globe be
came overcrowded. Then would COM
mence struggle for existence which
no human Imagination could portray.
War would be an impossibillty, since
no man could kill another who did not
wish to die, and humanity would reach
some inconceivable climax of misery
from which nothing but the interven-
ton of higher power could possibly
release it-Pearsons Weekly.

Boys, do you read the biographies of
the men who have made their mark in
the world? Risen to distinction among
men? Do you not always read what
good mothers they had? Very little
said about the fathers; mothers get the
praise Their mothers might have
been the noblest of women, and yet
never have been heard of had not those
sons risen to 'scall them pleased"
Whether they had, or not, exception
ally wise or good mothers, these men
by drawing the eyes of the world to
their own achievements, have also
shown the mothers behind them,
colored by their sons character. And
the world goes down onto its knees
and does homage to these dear old
white-haired ladies whose sons have
wrung honor and fame from its reluct-
ant grasp.
But some of the tenderest and truest
mothers in the world go down to their
graves, their virtues unsung because
of their sons dishonor. The world
never knows of them; if it meets them,
it turns aside, ''Who is she?' 'Oh, she
cannot be much-such an one is her
son; and he's anything but an honor
to the community Dishonored be-
cause of her sons dishonorI
And after these sweet and tender
hearts break because of the ignominy
heaped upon-not themselvesl They
have asked no praise, sought no recog-
milton; but upon the head their poor
lips have kissed when he was a little
boy-the little white-souled boy, now
a man, spotted with shame!
SO you see the verdict is always the
same-like his mother. Be he good or
bad, mother stands just behind him
mother "reaps as she sewed." This is
the verdict of the world, whether just
or unjust.
And mother-mother who believes in
him, when all other faith has failed,
who sees the little, white-souled child
always, through all the murky shroud-
ings of guilt and shame; mother, who
kneels and kisses his feet, no matter
what mire clings to them; and who, no
matter how low in vice and crime the
hardened man may have sunken, sees
only cher boy''-oh, believing, hoping
mother who prayed for him; who
always prays for him as she prays for
no ether, and who never will give up
that there is no good in him-that he
will yet show that she knew him best!
Poor, yearning, clinging hearted
mother, how pitifully hard it is for her
when the world scorns her because it
scorned her son!
Boys, did you ever think of this?
You have no friend in all the human
world like this one north star love to
which you may always turn, sure of
finding it when it is sought. If your
mother can say of you before the world,
81 can trust my boy" no heart in all
the world will be SO light, so joyous as
hers.
Though she may be poor, and toll
ing, and careworn, no wealth would
tempt her to exchange with the mother,
who, having all other good, is yet SO
poor if she have cause to be ashamed
of her son; the son who might have
crowned her old age with the lilies of
distinction yet, who buried her spotless
name beneath the deadly night-shade
of his own shame and dishonor. Com
