Relation Defined.


What is religion?t What is the
Christian life? Religion is not a pro
cess by which a man is to narrow
down his life and make 1t dull and
small and uninteresting. Religion is
not a scheme, cunningly contrived,
by which man is to surrender JOY
and pleasure. Religion Is not the leaf
in a creed. Religion Is not sectarian-
ism or denominationalism. Religion is
wider and larger and broader than all
sects and denominations put together.
Religion is freedom, is largeness OF
liberty and fullness of JOY. Above all,
it is companionship with God in the
journey of life. Enoch walked with
God. That Is religion Abraham was
friend of God. That is religion. Paul
said, q live, yet not I Christ liYeth
in me. can do all things through
him that strengthened me- That is
religion. Religion is companionship
with helping. strengthening God.
But how may one enter into that
ccmnanionship? Exactly what does
it mean to wait upon the Lord? First,
to wait upon the Lord means to fix
ones attention upon the universal
goodness of God We often miss the

how many downcast faces we encoun-

and the glory Of the morning. Why
should these people be so downcast
in this life Of boundless opportunity,
in this world which is filled with the

whose Creator is love? For all round

Our Troubles.

Whatever thy. grief or trouble be,
take every drop in thy cup from the
hand Of Almighty God. He with who
"the hairs of thy head are all num-
bered,7 knoweth every throb of thy
brow, each kindly drawn breath, each
shoot of pain, each beating Of the few
cred pulse, each sinking of the aching
heart. Receive, then, what are trials
to thee, not in the main only, but one
by one, from his all-loying hands;
thank his love for each: unite each
with the sufferings of thy Redeemer;
pray that he will thereby hallow
them to thee. Thou wilt not know
what he thereby will work in thee:
yet, day by day. shalt thou receive the
impress Of the likeness Of the ever
blessed Son, and in thee. toe. while
thou knowest it not, Gcd shall be
glorifed.-E. B. Pusey.

MAoRI NOTIONS OF cHIvALRx

GJfH4 teN~~s
Sir Richard Tangye in the Sunday

tell about the Maoris of old colonial
days. Unlike the American Indians,
they were not in the earlier wars with
the settlers a treacherous race; they
even went so far as to send notice to a
settlement before attacking 1t, and,
more Christian than the Christians in
some respects. would not fight on Sun.
day. Nor were they slow to credit
their foes with a certain nobility OF
sentiment by which they were them
selves animated; this was well illus
trated on the occasion Of the storming
of one of their fortified "pahs" or vii
lagos, by the British, The Maoris,
finding themselves running short OF
ammunition, detailed number OF
their boys to pick up the British shells
as they fell into the pah with instruc-
tions to extract the fuses before they
exploded. In this they were occasion
ally successful, and emptying the
shells replenished their stores. The
Maoris thought that the chivalrous
British, judging from their slackening
fire, that they were short Of ammuni-
ton, took this means OF supplying
them. On another occasion the Maoris
refrained from attacking a British de
tachment until they had disengaged
themselves from a bog in which they
were foundering.

the tiny, tinted shells that strewed

the psalmist had multitude Of de-

MUCH PUZZLED OVER PORCELAIN
Chinese Product Medieval Europe
Could Not Understand.

Cinnamon have been exporting their
porcelain to the west for at least a
thousand years and probably longer
Medieval Europe could make nothing
like porcelain, and therefore regarded
it as magical product endowed with
uncanny powers. It was said, for in
stance, that a porcelain cup would
break if poison we're poured into it.,
Travellers declared that porcelain was
composed Of various substances which
after being tempered were hidden in
the ground for ages before being fit
for use. Even SO erudite man as
Sir Thomas Browne, writing In the
later seventeenth century, was mot

Unseen Realities.

The WEAKNESS and sadness of life
come from persistently closing our
eyes to its greatness. There
is no life so poor as that which,
through too close a grasp Of visible
things, has lost all conscious hold
upon unseen realities. Lifted into the
atmosphere Of Infinite Greatness, the
soul itself grows great: unfolded with
in the Perfect Love, the life itself be-
comes love.
