cHAuNceY's LATEST.

Chauncey Depew a few days ago
at the celebration in his honor ON
his sizty-niuth birthday, told this
beautiful story:
81 was talking with a brilliant
woman, the wife Of an exceedingly
able, accomplished and cultured
man. Discussing the old Atheuian
question which engaged Socrates
and Plato night after night, is
life worth living? she said:
"My husband and l started
with nothing except our hopes and
his intellectual equipment. l said
to him, we want only two things to
make our happiness secure for the
future, a baby and a piazza. We
had the babies. They have grown
up and all doing well, and they are
giving infinite happiness to us, but
somehow we have not the piazz1
yet.

The Life That Counts.

The life that counts is life on high
level, yet full Of helpful healing sympathy
for all life on its lowest levels. 1t is the
first debt which we owe to our fellow men
in this age The man who has faith ac-
cepts the uncertainty of life as the conse-
quence of its larger significance; he can
not interpret it, because it means so much !;
he cannot. trace its lines through to the
end. because it has no end: it runs into
Gods eternity. Something better is com
ing out of it than worldly fame or wealth
or power. He is not making himself. God
is making him; and that after model
which eye hath not seen. He can toll
away at his work, not knowing whether
he is to see its results now or not, but
knowing that God will not let it be
wasted. There is satisfaction in being
appreciated, in feeling that others ac.
knowledge our worth or our power, and
in gaining that praise from the world that
is food to SO many of us. But the man
or woman whose lives are not on the high
est plane are those who take up their bur-
dens without finching. or without pros
pect of reward, who do not look for the
plaudits of pit and gallery; are uncon-
cerned as to the audience so long as they
pay their part well, and in faith and
patience, live the life where they belong
even though their heavens fail.-Annie L.

The little English vicar of Hexton,
whose objection to high church ritual
ism brought him recently into con-
flict with Bishop Potter in New York,
sat one day drinking brandy and
coda in the cafe of the Fifth Avenue
hotel.
A group of reporters surrounded
him. One of the reporters said:
"Why don't you try to down ritual.

rather than with violence"
The vicar smiled. Sermons" he
said, "have an effect always, but too
often this effect is the opposite one to
what the sermonizer intended"
"How do you mean, sir?" the re.
porter asked.
"I'll illustrate to you what l mean,"
said the vicar. Il once had a parish.
