whistiing OF the reat siren Of the
silvertown, and the many tug boats and
steam launches which had nothered

young man may sometimes think sue

in the end.
While the pulpit resolves, the sa-
loon acts.
It's an easy matter to master the
grief of another.
The sweetest thought to me OF all is
that Christ's Is face that wants to be
loved.
Christ Is the completion of character.
Without him every life In but frac-
ton. We need him to make US whole.
Dig down to the root of most of the
troubles Of men aud women and you
will find that they chiefly spring from
love of the world.
It Is not the space one occupies In
this world, but how he occupies 1t,
that God reckon when he takes meas
