Youth and Strength.
The influence OF the law Of action
and reaction can be traced more clear.

which come under oup individual OBJ.

tress, cruelty. affect ~ unpleassntly.
The plea OF the unfortunate. the
thought OF our visitor, the opinion In
the newspaper. the issues Of the time,
impress us lin accordance with our
moods or natures. Certain words, tones,
sights. awaken echoes within US Of old
happiness or pain.
There are words and tones which
produce beautiful reactions-the lula
bIes OF the mother. the endearments OF
the lover, the voice OF sympathy. the
enchantment Of music, the Messages
OF the poets. the trumpet calls to hon.
or and duty. And there are words
which produce misunderstanding, con-
fusion. aversion, anger-the words of
whining. complaining, fault sinding. OF
envy. Jealousy, slander. OF malice. In.
tolerance. brutality.

a vacancy IN the Alile-End Division of
East London, and the election Of his

how the poor of London view the pro-

secretary.
