like those police representatives of

an adroit thief succeeds in evading
Alas, the officer. though he finally col

Before man is able 10 accomplish his
duty, he must fail into the hands Of
another power than that which says
DO this: do that" Shun this. shun
that, or else beware!
This is an interior power: il is love.
When a man hates his work, or goes
about it with indifference, all the
forces of earth cannot make him fol-
low it with enthusiasm. But he who
loves his office moves OF himself; not
only is it needless TO compel MIN, but
it would be impossible 10 turn him
aside. The great thing is to have felt
the sanctity and immortal beauty in
our obscure destiny; to have been led
by a series of experiences 70 love this

times and places have designated

everything truly lofty within US ap-

mystery beyond. Noble feelings. like
great thoughts and deeds, are things OF
inspiration. When the tree buds and
bears fruit, it is because it draws. vital
forces from the soil, and receives light
and warmth from the sun If a man,
in his humble sphere, in the midst OF
the ignorance and faults that are his
inevitably, Consecrates himself sincere
ly TO his task. it is because he is in
contact with the eternal source OF
goodness. This central force manifests
itself under a thousand forms. Some
times it is indOmitable energy. some
times winning tenderness; sometimes
the militant spirit that srasps and up
roots the evil; sometimes maternal So
