Hints to the Leader.
Tie Endeavor Hymnal, n, 50, 90, 1877, 204.
Ask members to suggest different ways in
which we must prepare for heaven and
write them upon the blackboard. Give five
or ten minutes to each principal thing sug-
gested. When Bible reading is spoken of
have some one ready to suggest a helpful
plan for Bible study for the busy. Empha-
size the need of prayer, constant and daily.
Our birth is but sleep and a forgetting;
The soul that rises with us. life's star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, Who is home.

These abuses of the ancient fete night
the origin of which probably dates back
to that season of classic license, the
Roman saturnalia, are honored rather in
the breach than in the observance in
modern festaI occasions, but many of the
picturesque elements have been pre-
served. This years celebration of the
Copley Society, for example, will find
Copley Hall, so we'll known to visitors
to Boston by reason of the exhibitions,
transformed into throne room, with
royal seats for king and queen, with BAN
ners Of heralds, ancient pipes and shields
adjoining the candle-lit walls; with song
and dance and high carousals, the fash
of jewelled arms and fingers, the CLEAN
of antique couture, the sheen of pleated
silk, the balloon-like obesity of old time
crinoline. Dating back for more than
twenty years these artist .pageants have
included number of special festivals,
such as the Lalla Rookh fete of about a
decade ago. Two years out of three,
however, the occasion is simply a
straight observance of Twelfth Night.

If you have word of cheer
That may light the pathway drear
Of brother pilgrim here,
Let him know.
Show him you appreciate
What he does, and do not wait
Till the heavy hand of Fate
Lays him low.
If your heart contains a thought
That will brighter make his lot.
Then, in mercy, hide it not;
Tell him SO.
Bide not till the end of all
Carries him beyond recall,
When beside his sable pail

Your affection and acclaim
To do honor to him name
And to place the wreath of fame
On his brow.
Rather speak to him today!
For the things you have to say
May assist him on his way;
Tell him now.
Life is hard enough at best;
But the love that is expressed
Makes it seem a pathway blest
To our feet
And the troubles that we share
Seem the easier to bear,
Smile upon your neighbor's care
As you greet.
Rough and stony are our ways:
Dark ard dreary are Our days;
But another's love and praise
Make them sweet.
Wait not till your friend is dead,
Ere your compliments are said;
For the spirit that has fed,
| If it know,
Does not need to speed it ON
Oar poor praise where it has gone;
Loves eternal, golden dawn
Is glow
But unto Our brother here
THAT poor praise is very dear,
II you've any word OF praise,
Tell him SO.

With tongues of storms upbraided,
With wrath of waves beiimmed;
