WHERE OPPORTUNITY IS FOUND.

Fill your place. Fill it to the full Then you
will have time to be dissatisfied and discontent-
ed. The man who time in longing for greater
opportunities is wasting time. The larger fields
call to him who fills the smaller ones. The great
er opportunities for him who true to the less
er ones. Be too busy to be dissatisfied. Let your
whole heart and the fulness your ability be Civ
en- to the task which is yours. The man who
is ever seeking better job is apt to lose the
one he has. To him who is doing his level best
in his present position calls to higher and
better service Neglect not present opportunity
because you count yourself too great so insig-
nfhcant task. Such neglect proves not your
greatness but your littleness. No is yet great
enough for even his present field of labor if he
leaves uncultivated a single corner. You will find
great opportunities not by looking but by doing
They await you at the end of the path of duty
Therefore pursue it faithfully

"CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST"

Says the apostle: CT crucifed with Christ
nevertheless live yet not but Christ iveth in
and the life live in the flesh live by the faith
of the Son of Cod who loved and gave himself for
me- This seems to be contradiction Paul says
he is "crucifed," and then adds 81 live" But the
contradiction is only apparent All life grows out of
death The mineral dssolves and forms solid and out
of it the vegetable springs. The vegetable dies, and
upon it animal life flourishes The animal dies and
thus food is provided for Lust and appetites
crucfed, and the old Adam dies but out of it
the man is raised up, and Christ becomes formed
in us the hope of glory After that the life live
is ''hid with Christ in Cod" Spiritual life is the
result of the sacrifice of the flesh 'The carnal mind
is enmity against Cod Tt is not subject to the law
of Cod neither indeed can be- This is the life of the
flesh and when it dominates the life of the Spirit is
impotent. 1t is necessary that old DESIRES old
tives, old purposes, old habtsin fact the old ma
ure-should die, in order that the life may set
in and 1ourish.-Terds AdUocdte

The following words at the close of a sermon by j.
Briefly most helpful: "When one lies awake at
night in the deep darkness and silence of night the
thought comes to one of the last closing hours-and
we do think of those things sometimes do we not?-
when you hear your own heart beating in the dead
silence of the night and you realize that some future
day-t may not be far off-that patient worker will
lay down his task and the last hour will come Oh
in that last hour, what will be great consumma-
ton and gladness? Will it be that we have made our
way in the world, that have accumulated money
that have climbed the social ladder and gotten into
elegant society, that have built up reputation
that we have made small name for ourselves?
Oh, what poor business that would be in those clos
ing hours No, feel for myself that next to the as
surance of the mercy of God in Jesus Christ that the
great Joy of ones soul in that final moment will be
that by the infinite mercy of our God we have been
permitted to lift some poor and wandering spirit
little nearer to the light-a little nearer to the holy
and beautiful love of Cod"

THE PICTURESQUE BISHOP.

Francis Asbury is picturesque figure in Ameri-
can ecclesiastical annals. Coming to America in
1771, for fortyfive years he welded an influence
second to none in the establishment and develop
ment of the Methodist Episcopal Church. What

was to America. Elected a General Superintendent
at the Christmas Conference in 1884, for thirty
years and more he travelled annually the largest
Episcopal any bishop of any church in America
ever had under his continuous, and for most Of the
time sole, jurisdiction During his tinerant ca
reer Of nearly half a century this pioneer preacher
Travelled nearly 100000 miles, mostly on horseback:

THE SONG IN MY SOUL.

BY KATE UPsoN CLARK.
On the shores of my soul a song
Beats ever, the whole day long;
And when l awake at night
1t surgeth till morning light.
My lips were not framed to sing,
My hands no harp can string;
| can not utter the song
Though it's waves beat fierce and strong
Yet their sound is passing sweet,
1t thrills me from head to feet;
And 1 would that the world might know
The song that enchants me so.
1 struggle to set it free
When [ go where the singers be;
/ strive the keys to play,
But my hands are like nerveless clay.
I shall die with my song unsung,
For | can not give it tongue;
But up where the souls belong,
Who knows? [ may sing my song.

Discourse on Sincerity

A lesson on sincerity was presented to
the congregation last night in the temple
OF the Washington Hebrew congregation,
when Rabbi Simon took as his theme
Browning's "Pippa Passes During the
course of his address the rabbi urged upon
those present that throughout the coming
year they should practice sincerity. He
took occasion to point to the story of little
Pippa with emphasis. and declared that her
songs had gone far toward turning indi-
viduals from the wrong to the right path
in fact changing the course of the whole
lives OF people much greater than she He
pointed TO the artist who had married his
model. and when he found her soulless' and
would have cast her away the song of the
little child had brought him back to a
realization of his position.
The warrior would have left the scene of
battle and duty and the bishop have stepped
from his high and honorable position to one
much lower ii they both had not heard
the song of the child.
In conclusion Rabbi Simon said that all
acts however small. viii touch somewhere
and do their work for good or i'll.
