IN HIS STEPS,.
U AND LIES.

The Epworth league topic for Feb.
8 is found in Eph. w., 25; Prov. xii, 10;
Ps. H., 6. In a moral universe the pres
ence of the untrue and false may serve
to emphasize the beauty and harmony,
the goodness and indispensable excel
lence of all which it antagonizes. But
no profit can come to any creature
from sharing in the false. Only loss
can result from it.
No permanent good can ever be Sc
cured through lies and subterfuges.
The heaviest penalty visited upon him
to know the truth. His own hand
closes and bars every gateway to the
right, the good, the beautiful, the true.
Carlyle, in his counsel, sounds like
some Old Testament prophet when he
cries: IF thou hadst all the artillery
of Woolwich marching at thy back in
support of an unjust thing and infinite
bonfires visibly awaiting ahead CT thee
to blaze centuries to come for thy vic
tory in behalf of it, I would advise thee
to call Haiti to fling down thy baton
and say, In Gods name, MOI What
will thy success amount to? If the
thing is unjust, thou hast not sue
ceeded. l tell thee there is nothing else
but justice. One strong thing I find
here below-the good thing, the true
thing"
Jeremy Taylor says: ga prosperous
iniquity is the most Improbable con-
dition in the world"
The very violence of the liar is not a
sign of strength in his case, but of
weakness.
1t is ever, as Wendell Phillips OBJ
served: when a man does not believe
he says he does he persecutes the
man who c~ontradicts him; when he
does believe it, he sits quiet"
Lord Bacon said that mo pleasure is
comparable to standing on the vantage
ground of truth"
Whatever temptation there may be
to yield to ~falsehood, every real inter-
est dictates that it be resolutely re-
sisted.

WooDMAN SPARE THAT TREE.

GSoiSe rope MOTIFS wa one of the

OF having appealed to their readers SEN
timents, and they are still emembered.
Morris best known poem, perhaps. is the
one herewith quoted:
Woodman, spare that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
In youth it sheltered me,
AND LII protect it now.
Twas my forefather's hand
placed it near his cot:
Ihere, Woodman, let it stand;
Ihy AK shall harm it not.
That old familiar tree,
whose glory and renoWn
Are spread Ger land and sea
And wouldst thou hew it down?
Woodman forbear thy stroke!
cut not its earth-bound ties;
Oh, spare hat aged oak
NOW towering to the skies!
When but an idle boy
sought its grateful shade;
In all their gushing joy
Here, too, my sisters played;
My mother kissed me here;
MY 1ather pressed my hand
Forgive this foolish tear,
But let that old oak stand.
Ny heartstrings round thee cling,
Close as thy bark, old friend!
Here shall the wild bird sing,
ana still thy branches bend.
Old tree! the storm still braye!
ana, Woodman, leave the spot;
While I've a hand to save,
Thy ak shall harm it not.
Inc song was founded upon an Incl
