Is This the RemedyP

A very common answer to an argu-
ment which is not popular theme Is,
"Oh, it's An easy matter to criticise."
Such is true of the references being
made to the social status In Hills
boro. One may think that those who
are persistently breaking our laws
are the ones who should be severely
denounced. The saloonists certainly
deserve anathemas for their attitude
toward the laws of the village. A
true patriot could not be induced to
do as these soft driuk venders have
been doing for the past two years.
And the saddest feature of their con-
duct as business men and as citizens
of town where intoxicating liquors
are not to be sold as beverage, 10
the fact that they have sworn that
they we're not doing what our courts
of justice found them guilty of doing.
The moral perceptions of these men
are certainly very dull.
No doubt the reader is cognizant of
the fact that some people are color.
blind. That is a physical inArmity
over which the afflicted one has no
control, and cannot be held responsi.
BILE for. 1t may be claimed, and justly
too, that some of our venders of soft
drinks are morally blind and con.
science hardened. That any pleading
on the line of obedience to law on
their part would be matter for a
good joke when they met their asso-
ciates. No sensible person would dis
cuss and elaborate on the different
shades of colors to one who was color
blind. Neither would 1t be wise, or
even expedient to discuss the moral
turpitude of selling intoxicants to
those parties who are persisting in
this business, they knowing that 1t 10

him, perhaps, is a trust and he wants
faithfully to discharge it; but he puts
off the execution of his benevolent i'm
pulses, he awaits some more suitable
or advantageous time for distributing
his money. He Is going to make
will and bequeath most of his fortune
to charity. He is resolved upon stor-
ing his life for future planting and
the strong probability is that it will

Here, as elsewhere, my friend, self
is our great foe. Self-preservation
means self-regency and self-regency
means self-supremacy. We must put
self down-not half way, but clean
down under our feet-or it will finally
put us down. To stop halfway in the
process of self-surrender and self-dedi-
cation is to insure ultimate self-defeat.
To store ones life is better than to
waste it or to consume it for ones per-
sonal qualification, but we are not to
be satisfied with the better-we should
seek the best, and the first best. If
we want our lives to yield the largest
harvest possible we must do with

OF UNIVERSAL SIGNIFICANCE.

BY RoY. y. y. kICe.
Jesus spoke of the act Of Mary as he
spoke of no other single act in all his
ministry. He said 1t should be told
wherever the gospel should be preach
ed. 1t must have had therefore, some
intimate relation to the gospel itself.
1t must have symbolized or illustrated
something of universal significance. 1t
cannot be that he would have 1t told
simply to eXtol the woman or the sac
rifce which she made. 1t was prin-
ciple of his kingdom that individuals
were not to be exalted in 1t, and the
sacrifice which Mary made was mer-
ger by the side of that which many
others have made. These are inclden-
tai features, the heart Of 1t all Is
rather in the attitude of the woman
toward the Master. The passion and
humility of her love and the abandon
of its expression are the unique feat
ures of the scene.
1t was Mary of Bethany who thus
anointed the Savior. 1t was this wom-
an who, through multiplied expert
ences, had come under a deep sense of
gratitude to him. She had found in
him response to every holy aspiration
and desire, and sympathy that was
as a new life to her. Her soul, like
the psalmlst's. had thlrsted for God,
| and, sitting at his feet, her thirst had
been satisfied, and there had sprung
up within her a sense Of personal graft
tude and affection which must express
itself. What she did was criticised by
Judas, but our Lord approved 1t, be-
cause 1t indicated that attitude Of
heart toward him which he desires to
see in all who would claim the bless
ings he Is able to bestOw. Indeed, 1t
is the Indispensable condition of the
bestowal Of every spiritual blessing
One who would be a Christian must
not simply believe in him, much less
any truth or dogma about him; he
must love him, and II he would attain
high degree OF Christian perfection,
he must have the same passion which
characterized Mary in this act Of
amounting.
Moreover, herein lies not only the
essence Of the Christian religion, but
its power as well. There Is little in
abstract truth to help us in the conflict
with evil Forms and commandments
are alike impotent in the fierce battles
against sin which we are called upon
to wage.
If the unholy and unwholesome ten
denotes Of our lives are to be checked
they must be met by some deep, SWELL
ing current, some absorbing passion
that sweeps us away from evil toward
goodness-away from self toward God.
1t was such passion that Mary ex-
pressed. 1t had been begotten in her
by the contemplation Of his divine
beauty in word and deed. 1t had
been famed into flame by his gra-
cious ministries Of mercy and love, and
it could not be contained. Sin is pow
erless in the presence Of such pas
sion. And so faith, which Is the New
Testament definition of that passion,
sis the victory. which overcometh the
world"
