THE HIGHER LIFE.
Don Worry

Let no day pass without person
aI, secret communication with
tiud.
Begin each day 10y taking coun-
sci from the Word of God, if but
one verse while YOU are dressing.
Put away all bitter feeling or
broodings over Sights and wrongs,
no matter from whom they are re
rclvrd
Have on your heart some per.
son or cause tor which you are
pleading for Gods blessings cach
day.
Let nG opportunity pass to say
Il kind word or do some kind deed l.,
or at least smile upon those you
meet. DO this, not ailcCtedIy, but
sincerely, rs unto the Lord
Gnard well the door OF your
lips, that no unchastc word, jest,
or story. no SANDER or cutting re
mark, no lrrcvcrent or untruthiuI
statement, shall pass out.
Remember each day that Christ
will surely come, suddenly come,
quickly come; and, it may he, this
day will determine how his coming
will find us, as it must find thous-
ands. Way of Faith.

The Value Of q Sunny Soul

The world is too full of sadness
and sorrow, misery and sickness;
il needs more sunshine; it needs
cheerful lives which radiatc glad
ness; it needs encouragers who will
lit and not bear down, who will
encourage, not discourage
Who can estimate the value of a
sunny soul who scatters gladuess
aud good cheer wherever he goes,
instcd of gloom and sadness Ey.
cryhody is attracted to these cheer
fuI faces and sunny lives, and re
PEELED by the gloomy, the morosc,
and the sad. We envy people who
radiatc cheer wherever they go and
fling out gIadness from every pore
Money, houses and lands look con
tcmptiblc beside such II disposition
The ability to radinte sunshine is n
greater power than beauty, or than
mere mental accomplishments. .-
Success.

Corset Relic of Ancients

The corset has been the theme OF
much denunciation from doctors, dress
reformers and artists. The last-named
asve adopted the view that 1t is unnat-
aral and inartistic. destroying the fine
lines OF the figure. AS a proof of this
argument. reference has frequently been
made to the Greek statues. and the cor
sst has been branded AS q modern atroc-
ty. But is It 30 modern7 AS q lady
writer points out. researches recently
nads in the ruined cities Of South
America have brought to light carv-
nj Of an Aztec lady as tightly corseted
u any woman Of to-day So It would
,sem that. however unhealthy the cor.
set may be. 1t has at least the sanction Of
antiquity.

II Hardest Fight

This grace of silence under trial
is one of the most rare and difficult
graces; but il is one of the most
pleasing to God and conducive 10
strength and beauty of Christian
character. None OF us loves to auf-
fer and we all shudder at the sight
Of the probe or amputating knife
Bat when the Infinite Love is en-
gagged in cutting ont a selfish lust
or cutting off a diseased limb. oup
duty is To submit All the battle
field often requires less courage
than the hospital The onset of
service, with drums beating and
bugles sounding, does not SO test
the mcttlc Of our graceS as to be
thrown down wounded, or to bc
commanded to lie still aud suffer.
To shout the battle cry at the
mouth of II cannon is easier than to
put our hands on uur mouths and
be silent because God did it. If
He is silent as to explanations of
trying providenccs, let us be silent
in our final submission. God
knows what is hest for us; that is
enough. T. l.. Cuyler.
