The kiss In Other Lands.

In many quarters of the world kiss
ing is not in favor. Indeed, 1t is re.
garded as an outrage upon human ma
ture. The Japanese, who have under
stood and adopted many of our West
ern practices, cannot accept our Gus
tom of kissing. We remember the
startled look of the young Japanese
at German university when an en-
thusiastic Pole drank "Bruderschaft"
with him-and kissed him! The South
Sea Islanders do not kiss. They rub
noses. A most inadequate substitute,
one thinks.
When Erasmus was in England-and
that was nearly four centuries ago
he noticed the pleasant custom of the
English girls. who kissed you when
you came. kissed you when you went,
and kissed you while you stayed. And
their lips, he added, "are soft, warm
and delicious" In commenting upon
this, Mr.. Froude. in a famous essay,
remarked, Pretty good, this. for a
prlest"'
Possibly the formal kiss, which has
nearly died out in England, received
its death-blow when Queen Anne met
the lady mayoress on the important 9th
of November. Until then the king had
always kissed the lady mayoress-as
the chairman of the London County
Council kissed the market queen. But
when good Queen Anne reached the
city-well. where would the fun come
in? She didn't kiss the lady mayoress.
And an ancient custom seemed to have
Iapsed.
But with the accession of George I.
hopes revived. There would be kiss
ing again. And Lady Humphreys, the
wife of the new lord mayor, concluded,
"from his known characte for gal.
lantry' that the king would pay the
traditional tribute TO beauty. The king
took refuge behind the skirts Of Queen
Anne He did not give the kiss. And
the lady mayoress' conduct at the
slight was such that the rumor went
round, "She was borrowed for the
occasion. The king dlscredlted the
report. "He would have borrowed a

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES
APRIL EIGHTH.

Our Pledge. and How to Keep It.
Matt. 49, 20; Eecl. 5: IL; Ps.
5f:6.
No pledge could safely be made
to an absent God; any pledge He asks
may safely be made to a present God.
If we know ourselves inwardly true
to the pledge. we need never think
about the appearance of pledge-keep-
ing outside.
An ounce of explanation Of the
pledge before 1t is signed Is worth a
ton of exhortation to keep It after 1t
is signed.
II is better not to vow than to vow
and not pay; but far better than
either Is 1t to vow and to pay.
Suggestions.
We shall not keep our pledge If It
is made to man. but only as 1t is made
to Christ.
1t is quite as much a question OF
our pledges keeping us as of our
keeping our pledge.
A pledge is never broken so badly
that It is not better to mend 1t than
to throw 1t away.
You Keep the pledge In doing-not
the part you find easy, but the part you
find hard.
Illustrations.
A pledge in the old days was q gage
Of battle; so in ours,-battle against
sin and sloth
The pledge is not jailer's chain TO
bind you, but a surveyors chain to
mark out the way.
The worlds business Is based on a
system of pledges-money. checks,
bargains. deeds. notes, partnerships
So is "our Fathers business 4"
A pledge is like articles of agree
ment in a business partnership; both
parties are the gamers.
Questions.
Is my pledge burden or help?
Am keeping my pledge in the spir-
it as we'll as the letter?
Am l trying to keep the pledge in
my own strength alone?

The Cost of service.-Matt. 10. 81
SO; IS. "a, 25.
No great service is given without
suffering. But that is proof of the di-
vinity of service. The world says,
Come and enjoy" God says, Come
and suffer" he more we love and
serve the greater our liability to pain.
There never was love like the love Of
our Lord, nor more perfect service,
and he was the Man of Sorrows He
was made perfect through suffering,
and there is no other process of per
fection for his disciples. He asks of
us the service of our whole being, for
others in his stead, and for his sake.
He shows us how we may enter
through sorrow and humility and
service like his own, into the high
place of his power and glory.
Drudgery and pain and humiliation
are part of the common lot. When
we take them as We find them. as
Christ did, they lift us into fellow
ship with him, and they are them
selves transhgured. The angel who
was sent to sweep a crossing was as
greatly honored as the one who was
sent to govern a kingdom. All sery-
ice ranks alike with God.
The Christian life feeds on service;
without that it dies. Said Christ, MY
meat is to do the will of him that sent
me-" To do Gods will is to be found
in Gods service. God himself Is a
servant, and that makes all right
service great.
Love is greatest when 1t serves.
This is the teaching of Christ's life.
The more fully we enter into the mind
of Christ the more eager we are to be
redeemers of men. We are not only
grateful TO him for our own redemp-
tion. but we are stirred by sense of
fellowship with him in his work.
Adversely Is another way OF spelling
opportunity. Put your Christian in
Jail and he may write you Pilgrims
Progress. Make him flee for his life,
and he may give a nation the Bible in
the common tongue. Send him in exile
to a rocky is.et, and you may get the
jeweled coronal of Holy Writ-the vi
sion of Patmos Chain him to a
Roman soldier, and the free spirit
writes his letters to the Philippians,
to the Colosslans, to Philemon, and to
the Ephesians.

Railroad In . Maine wilderness.

1t is expe tied that by some date early
in next December the State of Maine
will have another new railroad, road
that is in some RESPECTS the most re
markable of any yet built, This is the
extension of the Somerset Railroad
from Bingham to Birch Point, Moose
head Lake, distance of close to fifty
miles. This road runs through the
heart of the Maine wilderness for the
greater part of its length, and the
scenery to be found along the line is
some Of the finest in New England.
Work on this extension vas begun in
the summer Of 1904. Only about six
miles of the road were built during
the first summer. The second summer
the work was continued, and up to the
present time the road has been COM
pleted to a point ON Moxle Pond, only
eighteen miles from Bingham. The
contract for the completion Of the
work has just been awarded and the
contractors are given an incentive to
hustle the construction in that they
will receive a bonus Of $4,000 IL the
work is completed by December 1,
1906. Some thirty-odd miles remain to
be built.-Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
