Luck in the Letter "B."

A writer has discovered that many
of the worst foes of the horticulturist
begin with "w," and he instances
worms, weevils, wind and other work
ers of wickedness. This suggests a
question as to whether there is any
natural grouping of good or evil things
under particular letters. Take "b," for
example, and consider how many
boons and blessings to man begin with
it. The baker, butcher and brewer
bring him bread, beef and beer.
For additional foods he has bacon
black bass, beans, bloaters, broccoli:
broth, bivalves, bananas, berries, bis
cults, buns and butter. After ban
quet of bonnes-bouches he may bring
out his 'baccy while he bestrides his
bicycle. These are but few of the
beneficent things included under that
blessed letter "b." Now, as a contrast
take 3D." and among the first words
we think of are damp, dark, dreary
dank, dull, drowned, dismal, dirty
damned. dusty, bastard, draft, ducked
dosed, dragged, doubtful, Disguised
doctor, diseased, dead, drunk, and sc
on, the very sound of which is enough
to drive one into doleful Dumps

The sermon that is easy to deliver
is often hard to digest.
Architects of Ourselves.

We are all architects of ourselves,
and whatever else you and l make, or
fail to make, in this world we are
making the greatest thing of all, and
that is character II we could only
keep that before ourselves as we ought
to do, with what mystic solemnity it
would clothe smallest things of our
daily action! And how it would make
us feel that nothing is Indifferent and
nothing to be done lightly, and that
all in most profound sense is eter-
nal! Nothing human ever dies. They
tell us that the vibrations of light go
rushing through the whole space of
the universe and never cease. You
have set going, by every act of your
self, vibrations which last to erternity:
Through our soul the echoes roll,
And grope forever and forever.
Character is a robe, and we are our
own weavers and clothiers, and we
wear what we have made.-Alexander
Maclaren.
We never regret what we did not
say so keenly as what we said.

Voices of Native Africans.

The timbre of the voices among cen
trail Africans is usually good-deep
and strong in the men, very melodi-
Gus and sweet in the women. One
notable popularity about the people
is the forced key in which they al.
ways carry on conversation. The or
binary quiet tones of civilized speech
are scarcely ever heard among them.
They literally shout and, such being
their habit, it is a matter of indif-
ference to them whether the person
to whom they are speaking is close
by or twenty yards away. They are
most tireless chatterers," says trav-
eler. 81 doubt whether any other peo-
pie in the world talk so much or laugh
so much Their laughter is particu-
larly healthy, natural and unre-
strained-a most exhilarating sound"

"Unto Him"

The purpose for which a thing Is
done determines largely, not only the
character Of the thing done, nor the
method of its doing, but also the value
of the deed when done. To do things
for the sake of Jesus lifts all deeds
up to the highest possible plane, and
invests with spiritual dignity even the
meanest of occupations.
Unto Him" will settle the quality
Of all deeds. Deeds that cannot be so
done are not worth the doing, and yet
so allinclusive is this purifying mo-
tive that no legitimate concern of life
is outside it's sweep. These two words
may well be taken as the standard
by which our actions can and should
be measured. Those that can be done
unto Him should be pursued with dill
gence, while those that cannot or con-
corning which any doubt exists should
be at once discarded.
unto Him" should be the purpose
of all our doings. This purpose makes
drudgery divine. The person for whom
thing is done settles largely wheth.

mental. Love will do for it's beloved
what would not be done for another.
The fact that it is done for a loved
one invests what else were trivial
with a dignity and worth it would
not otherwise know.
Unto Him" sets the measure of our
doing as to it's constancy. Love knows
no bounds. He, being who He is and
having done what He has, demands a
service as long as eternity and a con-
secration that only stops short when
it has embraced the whole man. Unto
Him" thus becomes the secret of all
true life. 1t dignifies all and makes
the fleeing service pregnant with the
issues Of eternity.
Life lived in this way is accepted
as it has been lived. When in the
naked, the hungry, the thirsty, the
sick and the imprisoned we see Him
and give of ourselves to them as unto
Him, then shall He say to us: "Inas.
much as we have done it unto one of
the least of these My brethren, We
have done it unto Me-"

The Gain of Loss.

II is impossible to estimate the bene-
fits of affection. Most men count
their Affections as so much loss. They
consider that every day of suffering is
O lost day. and that all the pain they
bear is a disadvantage in the race of
life. Life is narrower, feebler, less
valuable because of sickness, loss and
trouble. But they do not consider
wisely. Many men have gained far
more by their affiictions than by their
pleasures. Adversely has added more
to life than prosperity.
A paralytic was brought to Jesus.
His affliction was very great. Men
pltied him and wondered why he
should have been visited with SO
great a misfortune. But 1t was not
altogether evil. Perhaps he would
never have come in contact with Jesus
had he not been afflicted. Coming to
Jesus for healing. he found salvation
also. We have no reason TO suppose
that he would ever have heard the
words, "Thy sins be forgiven thee"
had it not been for his afTliction. He

Moreover, he became an object les

sewers through his healing and saliva.

Secret Of Long Youth.

Simple diet, plain living, active out
worry, give conditions that will de-
velop the best physical and moral
possibilities within one. We are all
prone to exhaust nerve force over
petty cares. We get excited if the
rooms are not properly busted; we
put too much Of ourselves into our
household work; we do not want to
learn to simplify; we do not always
take the forty winks" early In the
afternoon These are some Of the
causes of age, and we can avoid them
just as we can learn to sometimes be
idle and at all times be reposeful.-

Wherever he went through life the
man that was healed was a living wit
ness of the power and grace of Jesus
Christ. Every one who met him must

Nor has his testimony ceased. He
still bears witness. Thousands OF
years have passed away, and his voice
IS still heard. What blessing to the
world was the paralysis Of that man!
Let us not murmur when afiliction
comes upon us. 1t may be said Of our

WAS ENEMY OF "KNockERs."
Printer Tried Earnestly for the Ref.
ormation of Mankind.

ormation or Mankind.
Several years ago printer Of the
Gilbert Hubbard" school started a
print shop in one of the smaller cities
of New England. The place was fitted
up "Roycroftie," and above the old
fashioned brass knocker at the side Of
the entry he hung a sign which read,
Enter without knocking"
To many this would merely presage
a welcome to the shop within; but to
the more subtle, a suggestion that the
shortcomings of other men, among
them printers, were Of no interest to
him.
The new print shop attracted many
patrons, among whom were, unfor'
tunately, some that could not appre-
ciate the "style" peculiar to this schol'
ar-printer. Some of these were quite
caustic in their arraignment of his
manner of handling their ideas, and
he felt that in some way he must ad
monish them, lest their opinions, il
the unappreciative.
So he had prepared another sign
Depart without knocking" and hung
it within his sanctum. This to i'm
press upon his callers the futiility Of
bruiting abroad their differences Of
opinion.
Some, however, continued to offend
and to help them lay aside their per
nicous habits he had driven into the
wall within the entry, large nail
under which he placed sign, Hang
your hammer here"
He felt that some would enter, leav

perhaps, to his lasting benefit, leave /
