He started at an early hour for

as he wendell his churchward way

division was the Courtney pew. Phyllis
sat in the seat next the aisle; next to
her. little brother Ned. then a widowed
aunt and al the end of the pew Mrs
Courtney. Phyllis invariably put a
little white sealed envelope in the plate
and then passed the plate to her aunt
and mother for their contributions.
Many a time he had watched the pro-

caught. she had a holy horror Of doing

He waited with anxiety for the occu-

saw them take their accustomed places.
The length of the service and sermon

there been for him a note of welcome IN
the words Let your light so shine.

I Phyllis proved game. She made no
motion to take the plate as she usually
did. She felt the embarrassment of the
slight pause and was conscious of sur
prised, indignant glances from her
mother and aunt.
Finally her aunt moved closer to the
sleeping Ned and leaned forward to
take the plate. In his discontinue
stephen relinGuished his grasp of the
plate too quickly. 1t fell to the floor Of
the pew and silver coins rolled about
promiscuously- Ned awoke and helped
his mother and aunt gather up the oV-
erturned contents of the plate
Phyllis was covered with chagrin and
embarrassment at the attention attract
ed by this incident, while Jerome felt
that he was at least having his revenge.
Her aunt had held the plate during the
operation of restoring the money. She
turned to hand it TO Ned. but he was
under the seat searching for more plum
der. Jerome made no motion to take it,
and Phyllis knew that he would stand
there and wait for her to take it. She
was not cOrnered, however. She moved
into Ned's seat, took the plate from her
aunt and set it down on the cushion.
At this moment a little chorister
chanted, Tt is more blessed to give
than to receive
With a smile Jerome picked up the
plate and passed on. That evening dur
ing his call he appeared so serious and
depressed that Phyllis did not give ex-
preston to her triumph of the morning.
Suddenly Ned appeared in the doorway
Phyllis" he said, I want to see
you"
She followed him into the next room.
The boy looked troubled and sheepish.
What is it. Ned ?"
He hesitated and then blurted out:
Say. Phyllis you know when I was
picking up that money!"
Yes. dear"

I'd put it in the plate next Sunday. but

Ned"
"Oh, 7 can't Phyllis. am ashamed
I should think you might do that much
for me, and he uplifted a rueful face,
with beseeching eyes.
She reflected q moment. BY very
simple act she could give pleasure to
one small. forlorn boy and one big, I'M
happy man.
I win, Ned. Give it to me-" and she
took the dime from him. leaving a kiss
on the fair young brow. She then re-
turned to the music room and walked
directly up to Stephen, who sat with his
head leaning listiessly on his hand
Mr.. Jerome she said, unflinchingly,
Med kept one of the dimes this morn
ing. His conscience troubles him. and I
told him would return it to you"
She extended the coin.
With a glow of incredulous joy he
took the piece of money. Then he put
his arm about her, murmuring, My
darling!"
Afterwards she said
1T doesn't count after all, for you
didn't say 'philopena

thing he declared.

Our VIII and Our Beliefs.

Belief and unbelief are not simply the ef-
feet of more or less evidence presented 70
the mind. If they were so and the human
mind acted in this uniform way upon evl.
dence we all would come to an agreemens
about things great as well as small, and
that very quickly. But we see that the
evidence which convinces one man leaves,
another untouched by its force. While
other elements enter into the problem it
is not TO be doubted that the choice OF Che
will has much to do with our beliefs. We
decide to believe or to disbeleve, accord
ing to our notion of what will suit: us. The
man who is following course of conduct
which must fall under the divine condem'
nation. has great inducement to dlsbe.
ieve either Gods existence or His retr,ou-
tive justice. As Clough says:
. "There is no God the wicked saith,
and. if so, it's blessing;
For what He might have done with US :
It's better only guessing"
But he who is striving toward a higher
and purer life has an equally great induce
ment to believe that God rs, and is the
helper and in spirer OF all honest effort to-
ward things aSove Him. His needs make
him welcome every disclosure God makes
OF Himself as the sum of all perfectlons.

Derfection. esp 80

From Thine eternal love, o! God,
Nothing can separate Thy child,
No fearful height, no darkest depth,
No pang, or death, or creature wild. a.
Still on Thy love we rest and hope,
Tho threatened by the hearts alarms;
For in the strain of grief and fear,
We feel Thine everlasting arms.
Thro' the fierce fires Of ceaseless pain,
The furnace of an agony,
Still near US walks the Son OF God,
To damp the fame and set us free.
After the storms have waged around,
And nights were dark and waves rolled
high
But heavenly love across the sea,
Sent the sweet message: 1T is II" s5
We falter sin, AID Wander far, .
Yet this is still our shield and sword:
Nothing shall separate us from
The love Of God in Christ our Lord.
