THE THANKFUL HEART,

Dull moods are ours when low and dim
About us clings the brooding mist:
No heart have we for lifted hymn
No eye for hills of amethyst,
No feeling of the dear blue sky
And steadfaSt stars that burn above:
Dull moods when coward fears draw nigh
And clutch the tender arm Of love.
But these are as the passing cloud
Against the spendor of the sun
SO thick our Fathers mercies crowd
SO swift to US His angels run.
His table in the wilderness
Before our foes is daily spread
And in our time Of sore distress
we still have Christ, the living bread.
Bright mornings wake with Tilt Of lark
And light that Pushes all the way,
sweet evenings pale to shelterng dark,
For Heaven has watched us all the day
And rough or smooth the pilgrim land
is safe for us WHO walk this road:
Aye, grasping firm the Fathers hand,
And, thankful, faring home with God.

SELF-LOVE.
Not the Same Quality as SeIfishnesx,
But the Seeking of the Higher
Elm DIS of Life.

1t seems to be a very common notion
that self-love is thing absolutely pro-
hibited by the teaching Of our Lord.
But, says the Nashville Christian Adj
vocate, we do not so read the record Of
His utterances. AS a matter of fact
He distinctly recognizes self-loye as
thing allowable. Nay, He goes SO far
as to make it a primary duty. No one
will deny that He requires us to love
our neighbors; but it must also be kept
in mind that He requires US to love
them in the same sense as we ought to
love ourselves That would be an i'm
possibility, a mere straining after an
end beyond the limit of the attaina BILE.
But what is the self-loye that we are
allowed to cherish? Certainly it is not
the same as selfishness. The two things
are often confused in thought, but are
wholly distinct in fact. Perhaps it
would be better to say that selfshness
is the eXaggeration of self-lCye, the
abnormal and unnatural growth of a
natural and Innocent instinct. A ra-
tiOnal self-love may be known by these
two marks: First, it never fails to
choose the higher ends of life in pref
erence to the lower, the things which
are spiritual rather than the things
which lie within the sphere of sense,
duty instead of pleasure, honor in pref
erence to qualification; and, secondly,
since it knows that it. can derive no
real and permanent good from injuring
another, it is as careful Of the rights
and interests of others as it is of its
own welfare.
Selfshness, on the contrary, often
takes the lower road and chooses the
inferior good. 1t lives in the world of
sense and in the present hour and is so
much concerned to secure immediate
delights that it loses sight Of the
larger issues which the future holds.
1t is likewise blind to everything eX-
cept it's own supposed interests; it
cares nothing for the rest of mankind,
but rides roughly and coarsely over
everybody and everything, that gets in
the way. A selfish man cannot be a
good Christian: if he be radically and
profoundly selfish, he cannot be
Christian at ALL

we ourselves are not to he ths worse
for the unpleasant task. There is
something in all structure that is close
KIN to the worst elements of our ma
ture. And yet how readily and largely
do we yield to this tendency! Looking
on the wonderful world, we see little
to extol subjects of marvellous
Divine government, we chiefly delnur
to its ordinations; intrusted with the
oracles Of God replete with sublime
treasures, we spend far more time in
Analysing and decrying their contents
than we do in clarifying him who has
thus made the light to shine in our
darkness.
Oh for the gift of vision that we
might behold the teeming marvels and
delights of this fair earth whose most
modest shapes are rich in bloom and
beauty! Oh for the gift of faith and
love, that we might Unexpectedly the
events of life and find in each a theme
for a delectable song! Oh for the
heavenly charity which can recognize
| in our brethren patience, kindness and
heroism, when niggling intellect
can see nothing but imperfection and,
failure. Oh that we might behold with
open face the goodness of God in Jesus
Christ and live in the spirit Of adoring
wonder and loving considerations! If
we do not grow in grace let US turn
over new leaf; let us try the focus
of appreciation instead OF that of
criticism; let US be freer to see the
beautiful, to appreciate the good, to
praise the high; and if we are only
humble, sympathetic and pure, the
glory and joy of life will stand freshly
revealed in everything, the law of
praise will be on our lips and in the
genial glow we shall grow as flowers
and palms in the sun.

SOME DETECTIVE WORK.

SOME DETECTIVE WORK
Mr.. Chalmers four a telegram
awaiting him from Chicago. It read
as follows:

for months. Left Chicago three weeks
ago with letters Of Introduction to Car

just obtained information Of Vincent s
whereabouts. Will wire all developments.

BERNARD SEYMOUR"
Chalmers expressed the opinion
that Seymour was barking at a
knot" but he answered the telegram
and sent the money as requested.
The managing editor was far from
sharing Jack Stevens high opinion
of Mr.. Seymour's detective abilities,
but was too much of disciplinarian
to interfere with the latter's plans
He knew that Mr.. Seymour would
prove an expensive luxury, but
Chalmers had been trained to ignore
money as factor in newspaper ven
lures. He dismissed the enterprising
Seymour from his thoughts.
The following morning Jack Ste
vens returned from Provincetown.
He had learned nothing, but had as
signed his men in such a way that
he predicted results would follow
Chalmers explained to Stevens what
he had learned from following up the
clew offered by the letters found in
Hestor's office.

"Be very careful what you say or
do, jack" cautioned Chalmers. 1.-The
fact that Hestor bought lot of fur
niture proves nothing in itself. Say
nothing to make these furniture peo-
pie suspicious. They are likely to
wonder at our sudden interest in
Hestor's affairs"
Don't you worry about that" said
Stevens. 81 will not see the mem
