SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR.

Used to get so tired of living that thought
I'd like to quit;
Troubles-never come singly-struck me
every little bit.
Black Despair a frequent guest was in the
house / call my heart,
With the fiends called Hate and Envy-each
with deadly, poisoned dart.
But I've changed my tune completely, and
I'm singing all the while
For there's worlds of good in people, and
abundant cause to smile!
Every black cloud hanging DER me has
the sun on t'other side,
And the cloud seas s heavenward surface ds
a glittering silver tide:
Every dewdrop is teardrop-but the rain
bows hidden there!
Every sigh bespeaks a heartache-but its
aftermath's prayer.
Every sobbing nighttime zephyr prints
loves kiss on trees and grass;
All the sorrows that befall us make us bet
ter ere they pass.
ssAlI that is is best"-I know IL: So I'm
singing all the while
For there's worlds OF good in people, and
abundant cause to smile
oh. I'm mighty glad I'm living, and hope
I'll never quit:

Bishop Coleman, of Delaware, goes

counensations of Pastors.

In the ministry, service and salary
are not coequal terms. The high Of
flee was not created for the advan-
tage of the holder, and the calling is
degraded into mere profession
when it made the subject of money
equivalents. The work of the minis
try is more especially in the realm
of the moral and spiritual, and there
fore can never be financially COM
pensated in any exhaustive CONNER
cial sense" Nevertheless, the minis
ter adapted by conduct and learning
to his high calling ordinarily does
have, and should have, salary pro-
portionate to the demands of the field
he is tilling, and compensations far
more satisfying and worthy of con-
sideration than salaries.--Century.

same precepts of rectitude. These fol-
lowers are no whit less truthful than
their leaders. Yet because the preacher
is leader it is natural to give weight to
his statements. His very position and
responsibility to his people and the
world at large not only forbid the
thought of untruth in him, but lend
emphasis to any voluntary declaration
of fact which he may make.
If a pastor says to one of his congre-
CATION who is coughing, uI cured a very
bad cough once by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery he
could offer no stronger endorsement as
to the value of that well-known medi-
cine as a cure for coughs; and if such a
pastor makes for the time the world his
parish, and puts out the same testimony
he is only enlarging the scope OF his
benefaction. For if the world at large
knew and was persuaded of the wonder
full curative powers of uGolden Medical
Discovery in cases of diseases of the
respiratory organs, it would mean
great increase in the general health and
comfort, not to say probable saving of
great many lives.
