A Sure

DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, speaking
on the subject, ga Sure Reward" saws:
'Man determines what God shall be
to him. Each paints his w pic
ture of Deity. Macbeth sees Him
with forked %lightnings without, the
volcanic fires within. The pure in
heart see Him as the face of all-clasp-
ing love. Give Him thy heart, and
He will give thee love, effulgent love,
Ike the affection of mother or lover
or friend, only dearer than either.
Give Him thy ways, and He will over
arch life's path as the heavens over
arch the flowers, filling them with
heat by day and yielding cooling dews
by night. Give Him but a Pickering
aspiration, and He will give thee balm
for the bruised reed and flame for the
smoking fax. Give Him the publican's
prayer, and He will give thee mercy
like the wilderness of the sea. Give
His little ones but a cup of cold wa
ter, and He will give thee to drink of
the water of the river of life and bring
thee to the banquet hall in the house
of many mansions"

GOING DOWN HILL.
Some Reflections Helpful to Those
Whose Years Have Reached
the Down-Grade.

Il is easier climbing. When one is
going up, there is the JOY of the
higher atmosphere: the higher up
WE go the farther we may see. Oh,
climbing is a great thing; in the
mountains in the summer-time-over
the mountains in life-attainment.
There is more JOY in the struggle of
going upward, than when you reach
the mountain-top. 1t is a common
thing to hear rich men say that the
greater pleasure was in climbing the
hill Of prosperity than in the attain
ment, when they reached the top.
But it is different when one goes
down the hill. 1t is difficult to get a
f%oothold, and is liable to slip and
fall. Yet the nobility of men has
been shown more in going down hill!
than in climbing to the top. Espe-
cially as they have seer other men
pass them going up, up, up, with
shining faces, eyes fixed on a goal,
while they were going down. down,
down-the goal being the bottom of
the hill. John Baptist's greatness
was never quite so splendid as when
he looked after his departing disci-
piles. saw them going toward the
Christ, heard a few of his disciples
complain of it-and said: This my
joy is therefore fulfilled; He must
increase, | must decrease" And
John passed down the hill, with his
voice growing less and less-to
prison and death. You say that wa
humility; l say it was bravery. Of
the noblest sort. Any man can climb
up the hill, given but a chance; but
it takes many times Ia man to go
down the hill, and sing as You go
down. rejoicing that the other man
isl going up. They tell of the rarity
of the atmosphere-at the top; have
you ever thought of the sweetness
of the atmosphere at the bottom,
when a man walks willingly down
the mountain-side-because it is the
will of God?-Baptist Union.

Fafthfulness.

The chemical sunbeam, acting on the
gross elements in the plant, produces
color, fragrance, flavor in flower and
fruit; and the unrighteous mammon-
wealth that has no moral worth and
that tends so easily to eyil-may be
transmitted into the true riches of
character, strength, achievement. heav-
emily treasures, under the constant
touch of the actinic ray of fidelity. All
possessions are trusts, and all trusts
are tests. The test both discovers the
disposition and develops it. He who is
faithful is advanced to larger service.
He who is unfaithful is declared un-
just; he wrongs all, the Master most,
himself next; he is in danger o. win
ming the curse of the fruitless fig tree,
the bitter doom of b~arrenness. The
choice reward of faithful well doing Is
increased opportunity to do good

TnSeIfSh Religion.

DR.. William Hayes Ward, speaking
on the subject of "Unselfish Religion"
says: christianity demands positive
love. nothing else; and, with that,
nothing more. 1t is not enough that
one should aim for the full develop
ment of his own nature-that is es-
sential seltishness. 1t is a good part
of education to develop and train ones
faculties to their utmost power, but
Christianity requires that this be done,
not for the sake of the owner of the
faculties. but hal the faculties may
be fitted to do more service for other
people. Thus culture is not the end
of Christianity. The answer which
Christianity makes to the central ques-
ton of ethics is love; and this answer
is its glory and its justification. If
it could not give this answer, it would
have nothing new, nothing worth
while. Its browning gift to man is eN-
pressed in its great law of love to be-
ing in general, in proportion to its
amount of being. This rule requires
supreme love to God and love to ones
neighbor as to ones self"

PUTTING SOUL INTO THINGS.
Forces Lie Dormant In Even
the Material with which
We Have to Do.

There is no more conclusive evil
dence that we live in a spiritual
world, says Wellspring, than the
power we possess of putting soul
into things. On the wall opposite
you hangs a painting. 1t consists
simply of lines and c%olors, but as
you look at it you see not simply a
beautiful landscape, sc lifelike that
it seems as if you were out-of-doors
in the midst of it, but you feel also
the soul of the artist speaking to
you through it, his purity, his joy,
his peace. Over there is a piano. A
child perches upon the stool and
drums upon it, and you hear nothing
but noise. A true musician sits down
before it, touching the keys. and III
an instant the soul of the player
is speaking to yours through the
medium of mere strings and keys.
On the table lies a book. In itself
it is only paper and binding and
printers ink, but take it up and
bers in it waiting to thrill yours
with a great thought or emotion.
While you are reading you friend
enters. He touches your hand, looks
into your face, speaks, and through
touch and voice and ~eye-glance the
invisible soul within him expresses
itself, and as you are reading his
soul he is reading yours.
The story is told of the famous vio-
linist Ole Bull that after he had been
playing to some peasants one evening
in a village inn, one of them upon
coming back from the heights of
feeling and vision to which he had
been carried struck the table before
him with his fist saying: That's a
lie!" Yes, as compared with the
great, real, unseen world into which
he had been transported, the table
was, as it were. unreal, yet it was
through Ole Bull and his wooden
violin hat the Eternal Spirit had
been speaking to him in heavenly
strains.
Here we are surrounded by what
we call a material world, of sight
and sound and touch. But it is a
world w~ondrously mobile to soul,
sensitive to the impress of spirit,
of personality. If we but realize
this and put soul into the things we
masters of the world and can make
it the expression of our thought, our
will, our love.
