LookInq on the Dark side.

Looking on the dark side of life is
commonly thought to be the result of
trouble; but people who have the
blues" as class have no greater
trouble, no more poverty, no more
sickness, and are in no harder circum-
stances than the most cheerful per
sons. Indeed some Of the sickliest,
poorest and most afflicted people are
the most cheerful and sunny in their
lives. On the other hand, some per
sons who have an abundance of earth
ly blessings are as blue as old skim
med milk. Trouble, then, is not a
sufficient excuse for the blues"
Others excuse themselves by saying
that the blues" result from their nat
ural disposition. Very likely Some
persons are naturally cross, or lazy,
but the facts do not justify their yield
ing to these tendencies. You may
feel the blues" coming upon you just
as the Incorporate man feels his thirst
for drink. Botn are to be repressed,
kept back, and thus in time conquered.
The blues" are wicked because
they injure the health. 1t is some
times said they are caused by poor
health, which may be true; but they
as frequently occasion poor health.
The "blues" break down hundreds and
thousands of people whom cheerful
ness would have preserved in
strength.
Again the "blues" are wicked be-
cause they injure others. The blue"
person makes everybody unhappy
about him. The blues are contrary
to the Bible. The Spirit never in
spires them. They destroy ones power
for good. They reveal lack of faith
in God. The Bible says, Rejoice al
ways; that "All things work together
for good to those who love the Lord;
that 'These slight Affections, which
are for but a season. work out for us
far more exceeding and eternal weight
of joy"

Do What You Can.

do what you can" is all that Is
asked Of any of us. God always holds
us responsible for doing our duty; re
suits we are to leave with him. Do
your duty, and God will take care of
results. If you have done what you
could then the result will be accept
able to Him.
Your ability is the measure Of your
responsibility. To whom much is

a home where a gentleman was sprink
ling the lawn. His little girl, child
of about six years, was helping papa
as her childish fancy prompted. She
would bring her toy watering pot 10
the father, and he, reducing the force
of the stream. would fill it from the
hose.
1t mattered little to the grass and
flowers whether the water which they
needed was given through a large
sprinkler or the child's toy watering
pot. So it matters little to the world
whether you are man OF one, two,
five or ten talents, so you give it the
best you have. The one talent man
giving his best is better than ten
talent man giving his worst. 1t is not
how much you give to it. There are a
great many more little things to be
done than big ones. Do not forget
that the things done for ourselves will

The Grace Of Eorbearance.

Do not get into the habit of sneer
ing. You may indulge this tendency
until it utterly destroys the spirit Of
Christian gentleness and kindness in
your heart. Your neighbors may be
full Of faults; your fellow-Christians
fail to come up to the standard Of
their professions; but are these good
reasons why you should become sour
censorious and critical? How about
yourself? Are you perfect? Suppose
that God should judge you as rigor-
ously as you judge other people? In
that event where would you stand?
Be forbearing; be magnanimous; be
Christlike. Remember that 1t is not
easy to reach the highest levels Of
conduct, and do not expect OF others
what you fail to do in your own life.
