CHAPTER XIV.

JAMES GREENE BEGINS TO WORK.
Leaving Hammond on his way to the
crimson chamber, let us look after the
welfare Of James Greene, whom we
left bruised, stunned, but not dead,
hanging by his clothing to a broken
iron rod ten feet below the brink of
the well beneath the old store-room.
When James Greene recovered his
consciousness, he opened his eyes to
find himself in total darkness, and
breathing an atmosphere that almost
suffocated him. Feeling too weak at
first to move muscle, he waited to
reflect upon his dreadful situation be.
fore attempting to stir.
From his posture he knew he was
suspended by his clothing; but how, OF
where he wsJ. he had no conception.
Growing stronger and stronger. and
feeling the blood gathering in his neck
and head. until the pain was terrible
he ventured to stretch forth his hands
His left found nothing, but his righ,

ing his hand as far around as possible
he suddenly paused, and said:
Heavens! I am in a well! I fee
the curving of the stones. l must have
fallen here when the trap was sprung
by Hammond"
Reaching up with immense difficulty
for he hung face downward, he a.
last succeeded in grasping the iron bal
above.
II have lodged in falling" said he
my head is bruised and bleeding. i
must have struck the edge of the fool
as it fell. But for the strength Of
Hammond's overcoat, I were nov
dead. I must get out"
He heard q great noise above him
as he swung himself up, so as to sup
port his body by swinging upright
with the iron bar under his right arm
Hammond Is not satisfied" said he

Don't Pity Yourself.

Sympathy is very beautiful thing when
kept where it belongs. We cannot have
too much sympathy with those who need
it. But there is one person whose need
Of it is more than doubtful, and that per-
son ia ones individual self. Pity is akin
to love, and self-pity is so close rela-
tive of self-love that we. are wise if we
definitely refuse to let it enter the. doors
of our souls. g..
Yet at some time in every life it seeks
entrance. There is no lot where, in youth
seifpity. II am N: poor so Spsuad am diseours rGs
aged" "1 am misunderstood," ,"I am
sighted" 81 am overworked," there is no
end to the whispers that self-pity makes
in our, ears. If we yield to these sugges-
tions, however, we soon begin to feel that
the, situation gets worse every day. :, We
lind our courage waning, our despondency
growing and all possibility Of cheer and
victory receding in the distance. Sympathy
for self is paralyzing and fatal sympathy.
Unlike the sympathy Of wise friend, it
no fresh plan of campaign. ~.
A man who sympathizes with himself
always has an over-prodnetion of griev-
ances.. If he undertook to explain some of
his minor miseries to even his best friend
they might seem small, but self treats
them respectfully and sympathizes unfail-
ingly. Let the habit of sef.pity be once
established, and happiness is gone forever
and day. The tjniest trouble becomes q
thing to: brood upon. Health of soul is
gone and soreness of spirit has taken its
place, until at last the self-sympathizer
who o pToclaims: lain " Nobody % e hss such pesar hSrd
time as I have"
When we get to saying that, we are
down in the pit of folly and selfshness
indeed. No soul that makes that wall is
brave or noble or deserving of much SYM
pathy. When we once truly look about US
and see or guess the crushing burdens other
souls are bearing with patience and with.
out complaint, we shall be ashamed of such
cowardly whining.
Whatever lot we may have in life, we do
not know what its possibilities really are
until we have eheerfully and courageously
tried them. Self-pity blinds us to the silver
lining Of the cloud, to the discipline hid
under w hardship. to the be- strength brought
overcometh." Shall we s&h because we
have chance to win a Blessing? Shall
we be caught in the snare of self.pity and
never get free? 1t is snare that tangles
many young feet, and the sooner we learn
to avoid it the better.
The brave life never sits down to brood.
1t pushes ahead, sharing it's crust with an:
others need, shifting its burden as well
as it can 30 as to lend hand to a COM
rade's load, trudging. steadfaastly forward
through rain and shine, and sure to get
to the goal in the end. 1t takes self-denial,
not self-pity, as guide, and for him who
makes that choice there is no such word
as failure, though all fate seems against
him.-Young People.

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

Poem: The Mercy Of God-The Snare o
self-Pity-Robs Life OF All It's Hero.
ism--self-Dental 10 the Opposite and
Nobler Trait.
There's a wideness in Gods mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
There is welcome for the sinner,
There are blessings for the good,
There is mercy with the Saviour,
There is healing in His blood.
For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of mans mind;
And the heart Of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love we're but more simple,
We should take Him at His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.

Looking Back.

"No man, having put his hand to the
plow, and looking. back, is fit fol. the king
dom of God" We learn from this saying
that it is impossible to serve God with a
divided heart. If we are looking back to
anything in this world, we are not fit to be
disciples. Jesus will not share His throne
with any one-no, not with our dearest rel.
ativss. He must have all our heart, or
none. No doubt we are to honor father
and mother, and love all around us. But
when love to Christ and love to relatives
come in collision, Christ must have the
preference. We must be ready, like
Abraham, if needs be, to come out from
kindred and fathers house for Christ's
sake. We must be prepared, in case of ne
cessity, like Moses, to turn our backs even
on those who have brought us up, if God
calls US, and the path is plain. Such de-
cided conduct may entail sore trials on our
affections. 1t may wiring our hearts to 60
contrary to the opinions of those we love.
But such conduct may sometimes be posi-
lively necessary to our salvation, and with.
out it, when it becomes necessary, we are
unfit for the kingdom of God. The times
are undoubtedly much changed since our
Lord spoke these words. Not many are
called upon to make such real sacrifices for
Christ's sake as when Christ was on earth.
But the heart of man never changes. The
difficulties of salvation are still very great.
The atmosphere of the world is still very
unfavorable to spiritual religion. There is
IT'LL need for thorough, unfinchiug, whole
hearted decision if we would reach heaven.
Let US aim at nothing less than this deci-
sion. Let us be willing to do anything, and
suffer anything, and give up everything for
Christ's sake.-Our Young Folks.

Making Men Believe in You.

You must win mems faith before you
can do anything to make them wise or
happy. Therefore it is that the mere
amount of mans intellectual power or
the mere degree of truth in mans doc
trine is never complete test or assurance
of the power he will have over other men.
An lnfdel will make the whole world listen
and fill men with his folly if he can only
make men believe in him, while wisdom
herself may cry aloud in the chief place Of
concourse and no man hear, and the whole
crowd go away as foolish as it came.
If you really want to help your fellow
men. you must not merely have in you
what would do them good if they should
take it from you, but you must be such q
man that they can take it from you. The
snow must melt upon the mountain and
come down in spring torrent before its
richness can make the valley. rich. And yet
in every age there are cold, hard, unsympa-
thetic wise men standing up aloof, like
snow banks on the hill tops, conscious OF
the locked-up fertility in them, and won
dering that their wisdom does not save the
world Phillips Brooks.

himself of desire for it. That is ineradica-
BILE. Now here is the sound and legitimate
conclusion. A desire 30 universal and per-
sistent is the planting of the creative power
responsible for our existence. It is man.
ifest prophecy of what shall be. The eX-
istencc of an organ implies the existence OF
a field for its operation-this is an axiom
of science There would be no fins if there
were no water to swim in, no wings 1t
there were no air to fly in, no feet if there
were no earth to walk on. Now here is
what God promises He performs. His char.
actcr is perfect. 10 hold any other
idea OF Him would be b,asphemous or pre-;
sumptuous. To implant this desire and
provide no means for its qualification would
be cruel deception. TO make this prom
ise and not carry it out would he breach
of trust as base as the squandering on sell
fish pleasure of the property the widow or
the orphan confides to an attorneys man
agcment God has not dealt SO in any
other case. He is the rcwerder of those
who put their trust in Him.
If man die, shall he live again? The
answer of Christianity is, Il believe in the
resurrection of the body and the life ever
lasting" But this answer is not unani-
nous. Modern skepticism and speculative
philosophy have proposed certain substi-
tutes for the faith once delivered. Even
though the comforting doctrine of Chris
tianity be rejected men recoI from the
specter OF eternal oblivion. They invent
new theories and call them by the old
sweet name of Immortality. which means
continuation without break of the individ
ual life. One substitute proposed is alb

difference between self and another and
between self and Coda melting of human
being into Divine Being. just as sugar
melts and is lost in the coffee it sweetens.
