"Pish" said Luke. Il did not know
that he was the intended heir of Henry
Elgin; nor did I know that he and Cath.
arine had ever met before. You are a
woman. Nancy. and should have found
1t out long ago."
He glanced toward the brandy de.
canter. but Nancy pushed 1t beyond his
reach.
"Catharine Elgin hated me from head
to heel" said Nancy. with a sour look.

house. And let me tell you. Luke. that

To Find Happiness.

No man shall ever find happiness while
seeking it for himself. The self-centred
man cannot be happy. He may find gold,
he may acquire knowledge, he may achieve
fame. he may have pleasure in the world,
but all these cannot pour one ray OF senu'
inc bliss into a self.centred soul. Let one
WHO is unhappy do what he can to relieve
the so rows OF Others, and his W sorrow
will be turned into joy. Let the burdened
soul do what he can to bear the burdens OF
Others, and his own burdens shall become
light us air. Let him whose life is bitter
begin to do what he can to sweetcn the
lives OF Others, and his W life will be-
come sweeter still. Let him whose lie is
narrow do wha: he can to enlarge the lives
Of others. and his own life will become
broad and deep and rich. Give. and it
shall he given unto you; good measure;
pressed down. and shaken together. and
running over."-Nashville Christian Advo-

A trolley car passenger was looking at 3
massive steel structure rapidly nearing
completion on the most crowded thorough
fare of a city. That's q wonderful build

the passengers interest. 1T is, indeed"
answered the latter, thinking the reference
was to the magnitude and the rapidity Of
the work. Yes. it's a wonderful build
ing" went on the conductor-"the most
wonderful I've ever seen. Why, they've
been building that now for three months,
and they've never once blocked the cars"
Henry Clay Trumbull says: The thought
underlying that keen observation might
well be brought to bear on all our activi-
ties. It is this-be careful lest our work
interferes with others as it progresses. is

Gods Opportunity.

Some one has said that leach human life
is another opportunity. for God to display
His grace and power" So it is and the
thought will grow upon you rs you medi.
tate upon it. Just think, II am Gods op.
~portunity!" Isn't it wonderful! Isn't it
glorious! When we look ut others whom
God has richly blessed and honored in ser.
vice we can see how it is: but do we ever
think of ourselves as Gods opportunity.
Every one that responds to Gods call.
"Come!" gives God a large place N the
world. Every one who obeys Gods rom
mand, Co.. assists God in gaining a hrs.
er place in the hearts Of men. Every re.
generated heart and life is a new garden in
which God plants His seeds Of love and
grace; a fountain out OF which flow con.
slant streams OF healing power. Take it
home and say to yourself. ~ am Gods cp-
portunity." BE that, and your life will be-
come unutterably grand, and your exper.
