No One Is Mlthout influence.

Some people fall discouraged on the
highway OF life because they cannot
be this or that great or eminent per
son. Why should they not be willing
to be themselves?
No person is without Influence. Why
not make the most of what you have
Since you cannot grasp that which
you wish, why let what you have slip
through your fingers. No person in
the world is exactly like you. You
have your own faults, but you have
also your own excellencies, individual
to yourself.
Because you are not poet, should
you not be a good merchant? Be
cause you cannot go to college, should
you therefore forswear the alphabet?
Because you cannot build a palace,
should you not rejoice in your own
humble roof. and that because it is
your own? wal not the sun also
shine into your windows If you do not
obstinately persist in shutting 1t out?
If you cannot have a whole hot-house
full of flowers, may you not have one
sweet rose? Accept thankfully what.
ever blessings you have, and try to
make the most of them.

till the beauty of the fruit is equal to
the beauty of the blossom, and in some

ness. The young, green fruit is hard
and stonelike.
Another mark Of ripeness is sweet
ness. The unripe fruit Is sour. As
we grow in grace we are sure to grow
In charity, sympathy and love. We
shall. as we ripen in grace. have great
er sweetness toward others.
Those who are quick to censure may
be very acute in judgment, but they
are as yet immature in heart. But
when our virtues become more ma
ture, trust we shall be more tolerant
of infirmity, more hopeful for the
people of God, and certainly less ar.
rogant in our criticisms.
Another and very sure mark Of ripe
ness is a loose hold of earth. Ripe
fruit easily parts from the stem.-

motion; the marble statue represents
the body in some form of motion. The
deed gets expressed by symbol; but
1t is the deed which possesses the In
trinsic beauty, and not the symbol.
Therefore. we should not think that
we are incapable of apprehending and
rendering the beautiful in life because
we cannot write poems or paint pic
lures or carve statues. So long as
we are capable of doing good and
beautiful deeds we are able to rise tc
the intrinsic beauty of life which the
mere art form does nothing more than
express. What If a woman cannot
paint Raphael's Madonna, when she
can be herself Madonna. holy
mother? What though a man cannot
write grand and beautiful poem, SO
be 1t he lives grand and beautiful
life? This was the spirit that was in
Christ. He was the greatest of all
artists because he lived the greatest
and most beautiful of lives. What he
did was even more beautiful than
what he said And in the essential
beauty of the deed we are all capable
of being Ike Him.

Person vs.. Public Interest.

A writer Nm the London National Re-
view, though hostile to total absti-
nence, observes that the interest of
the liquor trade is adverse to the in
terests of the country at large. He
says:
The publican has a strong personal
interest adverse to the public inter-
est. That which is mischievous to
society is profitable to him. No other
trade has the same power of making
its own interest prevail over that Of
society. No other article is liable to
be used to so great an excess; no
other tradesman has equal power of
inducing his customers to purchase to
excess; no excess in any other article
is half SO dangerous to the common
veal
The peculiarly of the trade in in
toxicating drink is this, that it is in
the hands of large and influential
class, with an interest strongly adj
verse to the interests of the country
at large, and with tremendous oppor-
tunities of advancing their own inter
ests, at the cost of the country"

An Appeal to Women.

My appeal is to every woman who
loves her kind to discourage the Gus
tom OF social drinking and help save
the womanhood of the nation from
the curse of drunkenness.
It depends upon you to elevate the
tone Of public sentiment and to adj
vance the cause of morality; it is for
you to say whether drinking shall
continue to increase among us or
daily become less. The moral char
acter of the men is the moral charac-
ter Of the nation, and the one can be
elevated only by elevating the other.
But who gives the character to the
men? Their lives are influenced by
the teaching they receive from and
the example that is set them by the
women. If you mix the drink, men
will not refuse to take it. If you
give men the impression that you
think them better company when
their tongues are loosened by drink.
and join in the laugh when they tell
you their follies. when you treat in
temperance as a joke, men will re-
gard dissipation as a pardonable
fault.
You fix the standard of morality.
Your conduct must conform to your
principles. Rev. DR.. Madison C. Pc
ters.

when we know that we are on
trial we are likely to do our best.
When we think that we are not on
trial, we are likely to be off our guard.
But does testing-time ever cease in
this life? One who was praying, In
great perplexity, for strength and wis
dom to act rightly in coming ordeal,
was helped by recognizing that that
very difficulty was perhaps being sent
only as test. And then came the
realization that every hard time Is
sent or permitted as test and for no
other reason. Obstacles have no other
mission in this world of Gods love but
to be our helpers. They prove us, and
Gods will is that the proving shall
leave us each time stronger, When,
therefore. can we afford to be off our
guard? Ready or unready, we are al
ways being tested; and only One who
sleeps not can enable us to meet the
tests.
