St. Paul.
NAITH is not mere shadow. a
X senseless sentiment, but as St..
i Paul says it is "the substance
Of things hoped for" 1t is a
victory in embryo. It is uninfluenced
by its surroundings and unswerved by
unfavorable conditions. Beecher said,
''It is not what a man eats, but what
he digests, that makes him strong; not
what he breaches, but what he prac-
tices, that makes him true; not what
he earns, but what he saves, that makes
him rich; not what he reads, but what
he remembers, that makes him wise."
And it is not what he thinks, but what
he believes, that influences and moulds
his life. Truth disbeIieved is like food
undigested, more hurtfuI than whole
some.
Faith is rudimentary success. It
wields as glorious an influence upon
the intellect as upon the soul. It ex-
pands, purifies, exalts and consequent
ly ennobles it. It is as effective in
commerce and politics as in the realm
of theology. Men are saved by faith.
He who says, II can't" is fool. Con-
fidence in ones own ability gives birth
to achievement. Patience is the har-
vest of faith, and faith is the courage of
patience. Without patience happiness
is impossible and without faith it is
equally impossible to have patience.
An honest doubt is no crime, for as the
poet says:
"Thsre lives more faith in honest doubt,
Believe me, than In half the creeds."
Investigation is the vestibule to

che Worst FOOL Under the sun.
Heis a fool who sits and pines

Heis a fool who sits and pines
While other men push along,
Who thinks that his lines are t,se-hardest line
And croons pitiful song. Il
He is fool who sighs: ''Ah me!
I've arrived in the werld too late!''
But the worst fool under the sun is he
That nurses hate.
He is a fool no matter how high
Who fancies that when he dies
No other may worthily occupy
The place that he occupies.
He is a fool who claims to be
Foredoomed to the scorn of Fate,
But the worst fool under the sun is he
That nurses hate.
There was never a man who nursed a wrong,
Intending to scOurge his foe,
Unless he dragged future sorrow along
And added to future VICE.
The anger we fosteris sure to be
Remorse for us soon or late,
And the worst fool under the sun is he
That nurses hate.

insignificant as the quoted lines ap-
pear, they doubtless have eliminated
many possible chance of accident,
and thsreby shortened the grewsome
list of fatalities that meet the eye
when the morning daily is opened at
the breakfast table. And, wonder Of
wonders! they appear almost regularly,
interspersed amid the columns of a
weekly paper published at St. Louis.
1t is so out of accordance with the
prevailing idea Of journalistic spacing
that their attraction lies as much in
their novelty of introduction as in the
warning they convey; and the ultimate
effects of their non-observance in real
ity. Verify the editor is "philan-
thropus" belonging to genera which
abideth not within the haunts of mod
ern journalistic enterprise. The phrases
SAVIOR of downright, simon-pure al
truism, and are the very antithesis of a
monogrammed railroad "ad.," which
advertises, "four hours from X to
D.; with only one STOP"
Those few lines seem to reach out a
brotherly, solicitous hand from the
variegated highly stimulating news of
the day and bid the pedestrian and the
stranger beware Of a precipitation
which often results in shocking dis
aster. The interpolatsd lines men,
toned heretofore stand in direct con-
trast to the "yellow" accounts of sensa-
tional murders, suicides, marriages,
abductions, 0d aa0useunp. There is
hardly restraining note to be heard
in all this maelstrom of strenuousity,-
bad and Indifferent. It's tendency is to
awaken the latent spark of evil that
lies buried in the breast of every indi-
vidual, be he Puritan, aesthetic or bunco
stsersr. 1t spells the word "hurry" from
the glaring halfpage notice Of "rush
bargains" advertisement, up to the last
quotations from the stock market.
The managing editor of the paper will
reply, "Well, we give you what you
want, don't we? If we failed to do so,
the paper wouldn't sell-the receipts
fall off and"-he concludes with very
suggestive motion of self-dscapitation.
In the same ratio, how far is a person
justified in giving squalling infant q
two pound box of Huylers, simply
because it wants itp And just here
the question arises, to what extent is q

of an interesting book by
Reginald Kaufman. The
story, in brief, is this:-John Haig is
leaving prison at the expiration of a
ten years sentence. He is accompanied
by Bishop Osgood, his aunt's husband.
Ten years before Haig committed a
crime, and while fastening to his as
sistance his uncle--then a simple minis
ter-suddenly remembered the words of
Christ: 'Render unto Caesar the things
that are Caesars and unto God that
which is Gods" The uncle then
counsels Haig that the only way to
atone for his crime is to render unto
society that which it demands, saying
that if this is done society will receive
him as one who has paid his debt.
Acting upon this advice Haig sur
renders himself to the law and receives
his sentence, And now the man leaves
prison, having served his term, to be-
gin life anew.
During his years of confinement
Haig learned to create world of his
own and fully believed that as the
minister said, he had s'paid the price,
and was again socially clean. His first
position, secured through the influence
of the bishop, is as a reporter on a
daily paper He is assigned the task
of getting confession from an Irish
contractor, a man under Indictment
and reported to be about to flee. He
gets the story which contains con-
elusive evidence against Billy Gwynne,
the political boss of the city. Haig is
in love with Gwynne's daughter. Ac-
cording to promise made to the alb
sconding contractor, the reporter with
holds the publication of the confession
for a fortnight and warns Gwynne.
The latter, mistaking his motive, offers
him money, which leads to war of
words in which Gwynne defies the re-
porter and reminds him that his oath
is better than Haig's, reminding him
of the fact that he is an ex-convict.
Haig is finally discharged from the
paper and the bishop procures posi-
tion in bank for him. In course of
time he becomes engaged to Phyllis
Gwynne, to whom, however, he con-
fides nothing of his past history, in
tending to do SO at some future time.
A former fellow prisoner gives Haig a
note from Elbridge, the contractor,
now in prison. The note is in Gwynne's
writing and is positive evidence of his
guilt. Being grateful to the messenger,
who asserts that he intends to be son
the square" in the future, Haig takes
him to the bishop and gets him ap-
pointed sexton in neighboring parish.
One of the vestrymen discovers that
the man is an ex-convict, and the
bishop comes to Haig in a towering
rage and reproaches him for not stating
all the facts when introducing the man.
Haig, in his turn, loses his temper, de-
nounces the church and society, and
leaves the house of his kinsman in a
towering rage. A bank detective rec
ognizes him and he loses his position:
