THE RELIGIOUS LIFE
READING FOR THE QUIET HOUR
WHEN THE SOUL INVITES ITSELF.

Poem: I Know That ny Redecmer Lives
The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved
Was Not the Mild Man Frequently Pic
iured-Love Should Not BE Weak.
They tel! me that there is no God,
No Father in the heavens above;
That our lost earth no Saviour trod,
No Lord ci all for me to love.
They tell me that / only live
While l may draw my earthly breath;
That natures law has naught TO give
For future hope, excepting death.
They say faith is a phantasy,
A barren hope for things we crave;
That science speaks the stern decree:
"All knowledge ends within the grave"
They say that all our prayers are vain,
No Heavenly Father hears our call,
No Holy Spirit soothes our pain;
Eternal silence answers all.
Whence. then. the comfort which feel,
Whence, then, this sweet relief from care,
When from the busy world steal
And bow my head in earnest prayer?
What is the monitor within
That checks the rash and foolish deed?
What is the power that saves from Sin
And strengthens in the hour OF need!
Where goes the love that fills the soul:
II is not lost in boundiess space;
The love Of God will find its goal,
For love must have resting place.
know my Lord, trust His word,
No other hope assurance gives;
Deep IN my heart His voice is heard,
know that my Redeemer lives.

The Son Of Tn under.

"John-surnamed Boanerges, which is,

We know this was not John the Baptist,
but il is hard 10 believe that it is John,
the apostle Of love, that he who leaned on
Jesus bosom. he who is called "the disci-
pie whom Jesus loved" he who 50 con-
I. stantly taught God is love-" is given this
title OF the son OF thunder by no less an
authority than the Master Himself. Sure
ly, we think. the figure OF q cooling dove
would he more appropriate. Yet the Mas
ter makes no mistakes even in the names
He gives His servants. He knows the in
ner nature of love better than We do. The

not the light. limpid cloud floating on the
summers sEy, but is rather the mighty
force that lies back OF the lightring's fash
and the thunder's peal. Johns love for
his Lord is not seen SO much in the leaning
on His bosom an in the clear, constant and
brave witnessing for His divinity; Patmos
is the revelation OF the love that grew in
such sweet hours OF communion as at tho
last supper. He who has learned 10 love
in the quietness Of sympathy manifests the
love in fidelity during suffering, in. the
laundering denunciations Of error, the
flashing challenges of aught that affronts
his Lord and the silent yet eloquent wit
messing on the lonely isle OF exile.
We are liable TO make altogether false
portraits Of such men as John. because we
have misconceived the true character OF
love. His is not the weak face with the
overrown curls. There is love that weak
ems. but worthy love Of worthy object
strengthens. And strong lovers will also
be strong haters. John will loatbe bypoc-
risy and deceit in proportion as be loves
his divine and glorious Lord: he will hate
the world as he loves the Father. He Will
manifest the loyalty OF true love by his
persistent fighting OF the foes OF his King. .
Love knows no compromise. Some seem
10 think that the sign OF loving nature Is
the ability 10 stand in with both sides, to
please all parties. to secure the co'npla.
cency Of sinners as well as the comfort OF
saints But as the faith OF love casts out
fear so will the sincerity OF love cast out

the world will know it il you really love

sin. il is because loves lightning will fash
1t all things false.
The on;v effectual thundcring against sin
is that which rises in heaven and is born
Of love. Our denunciations are but empty

what is the favorite weapon used
by scrapping women " was asked OF
an old-time policeman who Is stationed
In a notorious district.
Hot water" he said, decisively.
1T seems to suit 'em, Of whatever
race they are. They all take to Il
like ducks to a pond. 1 have handled
at least twenty-five hot-water cases In
the last six months. and some of them
was pretty serious, too. I'm gettin'
used to the fad now, but the first time
1 saw a woman emptyin' the teakettle
down her husbands back / was scared
stih. She was an Italian and he was
a Swede. They lived in a irst-hoor
fat, and I could hear him yellin' a
block away. / covered the distance
around the kitchen door in just about
two seconds, but quick as l was, the
poor fellow was so badly done up that
his skin peeled of with his clothes. Just
like the outside layers Of IN onion.
That was the worst hot-water fight /
ever got mixed up in. In fact, II was
about the worst I ever saw Of any
kind, with the exception Of the liquid
glue AFFAIR. That came OF only last
week. A m up on Ninth street
got mad at her husband and soused
him with a can Of glue. He amt been
able to set down sence, for fear he'd
stick to something, so 1 should guess
tast he ain any too comfortable.
There are other folks that are like
WiEB uncomfortable. They are the
mUlasses victims. Those fellows are
pretty numerous nowadays. Indeed,
the syrup jug has figured in so many
recent cases Of assault and battery that
every time I hear a couple ralsin' a
bigger racket than the law allows, I
rush to the rescue expectin' to find the
unfortunate man wallowin' in syrup.
And pretty often l do find him SO. Or
II It amt syrup, it's eggs. Some wo-
men fighters are regular egg fiends.
They have what might be called the
egg-t'rowin' habit, and even when eggs
is 40 cents a dozen they save up
enough money to buy a mess to lather
their enemies with. ROllin' pins, stove
lids, and fryin' pans amt fashionable
any more. Nine-tenths Of the women
in New York don't know what a roll
in pin looks like. They buy all their
stun at bakeries an cook on a gas
range. But dishes are still in the ring
you bet. 1 just wish that I had all
the money that is spent in this town
every year to replace the plates and
cups and saucers and things that gel

that much I'd have such a comfort

Harvard Athlete who Recently Pc
-,o ut,dtv At

Harvard Athlete Who Recently Per-
formed a Kindly Act.
The star first baseman and a crack
football player Of Harvard college, Or
vile G.. Frantz, is at present the hero
Of that institution. He recently left
his practice and walked two miles
through a drenching rain to nurse a
sick laborer. The sick man was Jere
Kennedy, in engineer in the employ
Of a contracting firm in Cambridge,
A week ago he fell i'll with typhoid
fever. He refused to leave his post,
that OF running the hosting engine,
until he was too weak to stand. Then
he consulted a physician, who advised
him to go to a hospital at once or he
would be a dead man.
But I cant" protested the engineer,
II need my wages because my wife is
out in the country under treatment for
consumption and my three boys are at
home alone"
Disregarding the doctors injunction,
the man tried to find a car for his
home in Cambridgeport. His fever
was 1O6, and in his efforts he became
delirious and lost his way.
The Riverside Mission rescued him
after he had sat up all night, too sick
to lie down, and after he had left word
at a grocery to feed his boys when he
was dead.
Frantz is a member Of the Y. M. G.
A., which aids the mission. When he
heard of the sick man he left his foot
ball practice and hurried to the little
house along the river district. He got
a doctor and nurse and hired a cook to
care for the little boys, the oldest OF
whom Is ten.
When Kennedy recovered from de-
lirium later and found a ~six-footer in
crimson sweater and cap holding his
hand he could not understand.
Il thought Harvard boys were just
sports he said.
