like fortune to be realized. Suc- cess is the crowning of beautiful lives. To receive is the great motto. {. And despair and discouragement ere our lot wherever the old idyll ie found in fault. Such a morality can be compared to a ladder that is too short: there Is nothing more conven- Tent for ordinary cases; but as soon az the height of the situation sur- sues and all resources are cut of from us.
 F We and our children must become converted to another conception of life. Instead of the advantages of . regular conduct, let us show them the dangers they run by trying to De just. Let us accustom them to the morality of risks wherein we are taught that the just must suffer. Let us make them harken to the words of Christ, who promises prosecutions to all those who have left everything for Him. It is heroic morality, the only one that will remain steadfast in great storms and the only one that liberates hearts, the only one that will lead us through the dark ways of the experiences of death wherein the outward man Is de- stroyed toward a luminous issue. We are all vowed to the most humillat- ing of servitudes. all reduced 10 trem- bling for what we are, what we have and what we possess; all slaves of fear and of nothingness, until the day when we substitute to the morality of acquisition, of possession and of preservation that of lively sacrifice freely offered for love. Then we are enriched by all that we have given and we only possess that which we have voluntarily lost. Let all that we have and all that we are become transformed Into love. as oil. as 1t is consumed, Is changed into light. Thus we will enter into the llberating movement that makes life arise from death. And we will be brotners snd interiors of Christ and of all the victorious vanquished who out Of their sufferings have wrought our remedy. who have made light out of their darkness, and out Of their destruction have made bread for our souls. as the ear of wheat which is crushed under the millstone.
 Man is a knight. All the gifts of life have been bestowed upon him to be used on the field. Here is the hell met: here is the breast-plate and the sword, here Is the generous heart and the strong arm. If he gives himself over to the desire of preserving all these intact, Time will tear them away from him as the stripes are torn from the unworthy soldier, and his end will be but a hideous degradation. But let him make good use of them and throw himself into his career without looking backward, then his helmet may fall to the ground, his breastplate may be shivered into atoms. the broken sword may fall from his hands. Do not lament, do
 l. f.t a can fall in peace. saying like St. Paul, T have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of right eousness."

The Sins of His Fathers.

Philadelphia Ielegrapn.
 Something, in fact most, of the trouble now overwhelming the czar may be clearly attributed to the sins of his fathers. He could not well dis claim responsibility without resigning his office. and this is even less frequent in Russia than elsewhere. In Poland the rapacity of Catharine II, Is his un- avoidable inheritance. The Finnish bomb throwers trace their animosity to a period prior to the present reign Nihilism in its latest manifestations, runs back through deviating channels to the time of Nicholas I. With so many converging streams of influence uniting with the sudden warIike dis asters, it will be one of the miracles of our time if the great ikon of the Rus sian autocracy is not swept away with She tide.
 The one anchor that yet holds is the reverence of the peasantry. That this is slowly breaking. disturbances in many of the rural districts make sufi- ciently clear. The name of the insti- tuition may be retained as the form of

 But this is the time to speak of the
 progressive training in that life of
 perfect gifts, whose joyful and whole
 sacrifice Is it's eliminating point. There
 Is struggle for the inward life as
 there is an instinctive and animal
 struggle for the preservation of the outward means of existence. In this struggle we find various degrees and an apprenticeship. It requires prac-
 tice. The change of direction is only the beginning. First of all, We must learn the gift of ourselves, the first sacrifice, A disposition to offer our selves up. Then we must renew our selves in this life that Is on quite a different footing to the old one. A law against which we can have no possible recourse prevents us from looking upon ourselves as the victors. We always remain combatants. The situation of retired combatant is incompatible with the conditions of that struggle To definitely take a seat on the way side. to retire after making ones for tune, which is the ideal of average happiness. is forbidden here. It is for bidden to live upon ones income in the Kingdom of God: one can only live by ones labor and by perpetual conservation. Those who wish to live the life that moth doth not corrupt and that cannot be stolen by those formid- able thieves that are time. illness. old age and death. know that they must at all times keep on the alert. They understand the permanent danger to which every man Is exposed. of fall ing back upon outward and superficial things and of building upon sand. Watch and pray"-such Is their virile watchword On that condition the in- ward man is renewed day by day
 Let us acknowledge at once that such is not the ideal of the common run of men, nor even that of most -c- ligious men. The Gospel Is still veil cd to our eyes in a large part. To convince ourselves of that we need cnly consider the morality. reputed to be superior, that we teach our chill

It is law of life that out of good comes good. and out of evil comes evil. Only, under stood In that way, life appears to us
