CAPTIvEs OF GOOD OR OF EVIL.

by Rev. hlchard M. sherman.
Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ
Ephesians, Ill. l.
For "two whole years" he had dwelt
"in his own hired house" in Rome,
guarded, however, by a soldier, to
whom he was chained. 1t was hard
position for so earnest a man, who
longed to be free to go among men to
tell them the blessed truths of the gos-
pei. But he regarded his very impris-
onment as part Of the divine plan for
furthering the gospel.
He was there ''in bonds" not only as
the prisoner Of the Caesar-the abso-
lutte and acknowledged ruler Of the
whole known world-but also, and espe-
cially, as the prisoner of Jesus Christ
the absolute, If as yet unacknowledged,
ruler of the emperor himself and the
whole world besides. So he put aside
the lesser captivity in the thought Of
the greater and nobler captivity.
He could have secured his freedom
by simply renounclng his religious con-
victions, yet to be released from that
wearisome room, to walk the street
again, to throw aside that chain to get
away from that gruff, unsympathetic
soldier-the Idea seems never to have
entered his mind.
For there was the something greater
than the power Of the Roman Empire
that kept him there-as much greater
as moral power is greater than physl.
cal It was not the chain or iron; II
was the chain Of, love-love to Jesus

Serenity comes In when selfishness
goes out.
Realizing the right is all there is of
religion.
He takes heaven everywhere who has
the happy heart.
They find the gate of heaven who
seek the good Of humanity.
Much Of our sorrow Is stuff we have
stolen thinking 1t was joy.
Thunders Of applause give no prom
ise of showers Of blessing.
good many more would walk with
God If he would go blindfold.
He who shuts the door Of heaven on
another shuts himself out.
The most heavenly virtues come out
OF the most homely occasions.
The only thing that makes any work
sacred is the way that 1t Is done.
Civilization will be synonymous with
salvation when it has cured sin.
The tight-flsted child often finds that
he has loose hold on his Father.
The devil has no more effective wea-
pom than the Christians rusty sword.
Every time you envy another man his
meal you drop gall into your own
plate.
People who cannot stand up In the
fight must not look to sit down in the
feast.
Don't think you are fixed on feathers
there because you make lot of fuss
here.
Many a man Is praying for grace to
bear his trials who needs just sand to
shake them.

And the men who once ran it forgotten.

With the swish and the sway Of tho

And the wind that blew
On the flowers l knew
Shook silvery songs from the boughs Of

But the songs are all old, the tales are
all told,
There Is naught but the mill

On the red flaming rose
Waving here with Its petals Of gladness,
Flaring here in the sun,
A red emblem of fun,
And the symbol Of mirth and its madness,
Put me here by the brook, In cool shady
nook,
On the slope Of the hill

various parts Of the Southern United
States. The little animal has the re-
markable habit Of quickly and COM
pletely changing its colors, varying
from brown to yellow or pale green.
Its food consists of insects. The little
animal is perfectly harmless to higher

The toes are provided with adhesive
