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

Poem: Cause For singing-what tho Par.
able OF the Good Samaritan Teacher
Us-Always Be Ready to Extend Sym.
pathy to tho Unfortunate.
Sing! There is ever a reason
Why. the heart from its depths should
sing,
For the love of the Lord who loves us
Is sure and a steadfast thing.
The night may seem dark and starless,
The morn may be cold and drear,
But the day will come, the sun will shine
And the world will be full of cheer.
Sing, you who are sad and lonely,
And you with the spirit light;
The love of the Lord is precious thin
And His judgments are just and righ
What though few clouds gather
Over your MONDAY sky?
The glorious rays of love divine
Will scatter them by and by.
Sing! for there lies before us
A country that's vast and grand;
In the Lords own time-in the Lords own
way
. We shall reach the beautiful land.

Made Blind in Fight With Bear.

OF the seriousness Of hand-to-hand
struggle with the ordinary brown-nosed
bear the sportsmen travelling from
Thirty-one Mile Lake by the Post Greek
route, have clear demonstration. On
the side Of that rapid little river lives
the blind man, Jean Paul, whose i'm.
.mense frame and quick habits are com.
paratively useless to him because Of a
battle with one of these creatures.
All one afternoon twenty summers
ago he fought with an axe full sized
bear he had surprised in berry patch.
1t was just as the sun went down that
he e1ulted over his vanquished and
slain enemy. And then he hurried
home to his wife. the shadows of q
lifelong night Of darkness settling
quickly upon him. Medical men say
that the intensity of that terrible
struggle over-strained and ruptured
the muscles of his eyes, and none of
their skill could ever restore his sight.

CHAPTER XVI.
FAN sCAREs LUXE HAMMOND.

FAN SCARES LUKE HAMMOND.
We saw Hammond leave unfortunate
Catharine Elgin, and direct his steps
toward the crimson chamber. In the
hall, while going thither. he met Dan
3el pacing slowly to and fro.
How is it now with our sick MANI"
he asked.
Better" replied Daniel. "He seems
improving rapidly. and has eaten quite
heartily for one who has been in bed
so long"
"Ah! you must be careful" said
Luke. "He is cunning. Daniel, and as
he regains his strength he may con-
ceal it to surprise you with an attack.
Henry Elgin was powerful man be-
fore he was taken sick. He was a
match for two such fellows as you,
Daniel"
Daniel glanced at himself, as if he
rather doubted the truth Of that re-
mark, and Hammond continued:
You doubt it. Daniel! Henry Elgin
. was once a blacksmith. His father,
though wealthy. believed that every
young man should have a trade as
well as an education, and for three
years Henry Elgin labored at the
forge. His riches never deserted him,
and his trade was Of no use to BIN eX-
cept for amusement. But he was
famous among blacksmiths for his
strength. Look sharp. He may be
aging n plan"
II will, sir" said Daniel. III ne
should ever try that game"
What would become of you, Daniel
If he should get loose?"
''He won't get loose" said Daniel,
with a cruel laugh. I'll kill him first
Right. Daniel, right! And now
wish to have a talk with him."
Hammond had entered the ante
chamber. when Daniel said:
"Old Fan is in here"

Monarchs Who Sank Low in Life.

If it were possible for descendant
of line Of kings to sink lower in the
social scale than the last of the Plan
tagenets, who lived and died, an OBJ
scure cobbler, in an English village,
Charles VII. Of France must have
attained that uneviable distinction
when the cobbler Of Bourges refused
to give him credit for pair Of shoes.
When the weak and dissipated king
had tried on the shoes and shame
facedly confessed that he had not the
money to pay for them, Then" said
the cobbler, my shoes are not for such
as you. 1 make them for money. and
not for charity"

nIxhterIouA and Baffline.

DR.. T. L. Cuyler in speaking of the Bible
as IN incomprehensible book, says: Read.
ers Of the Bible should not be discouraged
because even after years of close study
there remains so much in the Scripture
that is mysterious and battling. The Bible
is big book and cannot be. mastered
wholly in a single year, or even in single
lifetime. 1t is book to grow up to and to
.row into, but never to 0utgr0w."

Promoting Happiness.

1t is astonishing how large part OF
Chrst's precepts is devoted solely to. the
incubation Of happiness. How much of
His life, too, was spent simply in making
people happy! There is no word more OF.
recognized by Him rs distinct end in life,
the end for this life, to secure the happi-
ness of Others. Henry Drummond.

En1land,a Birth Rate.

The birth rate in England and Wales
last year was 2S.G per 1000. of the popula-
ton, slightly higher than in 1901, but lower
than in any other year on record. The,
death rate was 1863 per 1000, and was the
lowest on record. The natural increase of
the population by excess of births over
deaths was 405, 739.

His Ways Arc Gentle.

Henry Drummond, in speaking Of Gods
infinite wisdom in His dealings with poor,
weak humanity, once said I'VE wonder
sometimes, when God is so great; 50 terri
bic in majesty, that He uses so little .vio-
ience with us, who are SO small. But it is
not His way. His way is to be gentle. He
seldom drives, but draws. He. seldom com
peis, but leads He remembers we are
dust"

Singing Through Life.

In the early days OF emigration to the
West traveller once came, for the first
time in his life, to the banks of the mighty
Mississippi There was no bridge. He
must cross. 1t was early winter, and the
surface of the great river was sheeted with
cleaning ice He knew nothing of its
thickness, however, and feared to trust
himself to it. He hesitated long, but night
was coming on and he must reach the other
shore At length, with many fears and
infinite caution, he crept out on hands and
knees, thinking thus to distribute his
weight as much as possible. and trembling
with every sound. When he had gone in
this way painfully about half way over he
heard a sound of singing behind him.
There, in the dusk, was colored man
driving four. horse load of coal across
upon the ice and singing as he went. Many
a Christian creeps tremblingly out upon
Gods promises where another. stronger in
faith, goes singing through life upheld by
the same word.

undermined by the human characteristics
universally found among men which make
them unwilling to accept of and to live up

seek by subtle argument to make wrong
appear right. to cause to stumble in the
path of rectitude one over whom influence
