1Iinys That the World Needs.

There are many things that the world
needs, and there is much work to he
done in many directions; but most OF all
does the world need God, most of all
does il need Righteousness, faith, hope
and love! The world needs better con-
ditions for its poor and wretched, better
tenementS in which to house them; but
it needs also better lives for the tene-
ments when built 1t needs better oppor-
t,,nities for its teemng multitudes; but
it needs also clearer vision to see the OPP
portunities and stronger wills to grasp
them. The world needs scientific knowi-
edge, but it needs religious emotion az
well. 1t needs its thunderous industries,
but it needs the sense of kinship to God.
II needs its practical ideals; but it needs
supremacy the vision of the Highest. As
the heart panteth after the water brooE.s,
so panteth my soul after Thee, O God.
NV soul thirsteth for God, for the Living
God" From Him we came, and we are
disquieted until we rest in His bosom
until we feel the ocean of His love flowing
about our imperiections swallowed up in
His perfection, and our restlessness melt
ing into His everlasting pcace.-Rev. MIR.
