II one seems to promote his own per

unworthy of a true man. Selfishness, or
sefness, even of the highest sort, is ever
below what is superior to u man and any
man and every man should always be as.
plring and striving toward that which is
superior to himself.
There are two vital difficulties in the
way of a selfish mans strivings for his
own personal good, even the highest. In
the first place, it Is a mans duty to seek
what Is more important than his own per-
sonal good; and in the second place, the
man who strives to secure his own high
est personal good ia pretty sure to fail
in his pursuit. Any man who does his
duty and fills his place has some object
of pursuit which he deems more important
than himself; and, on the other hand, on.
ly the man who lives for something out
side of himself is successful in his striv.
ing. Ii is a mistake and n folly to strive
in an effort where. at the best. he will
hopelessly fail. In every sphere Of life
the highst interest of self comes as an in
oidental consequence of living for some
thing which one deems superior TO self
Self is at the best unworthy of our life
and endeavors.
A citizen who lives for himself, for his
own welfare and happiness, is not likely
to have happiness, or to find true enjoy

worthy of their devotion and honor.
Striving to gain in ones own way ones

A Warning Incident,

About seven years ago Benny Nichols, d
fourteen year.old schooboy. was careless

discharged and a heavy charge passed
through his arm. almost tearing It from the

places, and laceratlug the flesh until IN

until the doctor could get there. said he
never saw as sickenny sight upon any
battlefield, or saw as tearfully a lacerated
wound.
When the doctor came he made immedi.
ate preparations to GmputAte the arm.
The boy begged piteously that it might
not be cut off. Moved by his pleading the
physician took the father to one side and
said to him:
Mr.. Nichols, if that were any other
mans boy in this whole township, | would
amputate that arm at once, as the only
chance TO escape blood poisoning But I
know you never touched beer. whisky or
tobacco in your life. You gave your boy
pure blood. and you have brought him up
in the same way. | take the chance.
Watch him closely. and If blood poison
ig appears, Wen remove the arm at once"
The boys arm healed perfectly, but
frighttul scars will always mark it. Re-
peatedly the doctor has told him: Young
man, you can thank your father for your
good fortune. Ii there had been any al
cohol taint there, you'd have but one arm

An interesting incident of how far-reach-
ing is the influence of two words, occurred
recently at Liverpool, England, during the
Torrey- Alexander meeting. Mr.. Alexander
had occasion to go with friend to one OF
the leading banks in the city, in order
to exchange some American coinage for
British currency. While he was waiting
at the counter, he. traced on the blotting
paper in front of him the words "Pray
through" which he had been using in the
course of an address. These words formed
the motto of the convention at the Moody
Bible Institute at Chicago. Almost un-
consciously Mr.. Alexander wrote the two
words several times on the blotting paper;
then, having finished his business in the
bank. he and his friend left. Shortly after
wards a customer of the bank came in.
He had been passing through a time of
great anxiety, and while he was waiting at
the counter his eye fell on the words,
pray through" 1t interested him. and
he asked the clerk who had written them.
The clerk was not able to tell him, but the
gentleman felt it was direct message to
himself to cease his anxiety and to con-

History and literature furnish many
noble examples of true friendship:
Damon and Pythias; Socrates and his
friends Plato. Critic, Phaedon; Arthur
and mis- Round Table; Johnson and
his immortal group; Lamb and his
companions; the Concord circle;
Schiller and Goethe: Arthur Hallam
and Tennyson. But neither history
nor literature has a more charming
picture Of real human friendship than
we have here. 1t has romance, a
beauty, a pathos, all its own.
Friendship is rooted in the natural
desire for companionship. The nor
NAL man wants society. Though
lord of all he surveys in solitude, he
would say, Better dwell in the midst
of alarms than reign IL this horrible

The root of real friendship is mutual
affinity. Amos asks, Can two walk

other a reflection of himself and said
to his soul, "Ah, there is one after
nv own heart" Henceforth their
souls were knit together.
Friendships that are fed only on

SO, then, while we may not know what

that as the days in which this man
wrestled with his dark maladies are the
only days that make him worth remem.
brance, and but for which his name had
never been written in the book of life;
so the days through which VIC struggle,
finding no way, but never losing the light,
will be the most significant we are called
to live. Indeed, men Of all ages have
wrestled with thus problem of the differ
ence between the conception and the con.
dition. Life is full OF these appeals, from
the doom that is on us to the love that
is over us--trom the God we fear to the
God we Worship. The very Christ cries
once: my God! Why hast Thou for

fessors, finch finally from their rust,
that God is light; that life is divine: that
there is a way, though we may not see it;
and have gone singing OF their deep con.
fdcnce, by fire and cross into the shadow
OF death. 1t is true nay, it is truest of
all, that "meu who suffered countless ills,
in battles for the true and just" have had
the strongest conviction, like old Latimer,
that a way would open in those moments
when it seemed most impossible. Their
light on the thing brought commanding
assurance that there must somewhere,
nometime, be light on the way.

Lesson Thoughts.
True friendship involves much more
than mere affection; 1t means to seek
in every way the welfare of those
whom we love, even at our own cost;
it means also confidence In them. and
real desire to crafty every proper
wish. In short, true friendship means
real, devoted service.
The strongest bond of earthly friend.
ships is a common friendship with the
truest Of all friends. who Is also our
perfect example In the exercise of
friendship.
Selections.
Friendship Is kept and cherished by
little acts OF love, by mutual helpful
ness, by dwelling on the virtues rather
than the faults of friends, by mutual
service in some nobler cause, by love
Of God.

The great need of the world to-day is
not some one to bear its burden fon it,
but some one who will teach it how to
bear it's own burden. There is much done
for the poor and afflicted in the name of

helpfulness. On every hand organizations
hungry and clothing for the naked. and

that they are of more value to the COM
