Rockefeller. yr., and Drink.

From the New York World.
Easily the best address that John
d. Rockefeller. Jr., ever delivered"
was the unanimous verdict of the
members OF the Young Mems Bible
Glass yesterday morning in the Fifth
Avenue Baptist Church after their
leaders, exposition Of The life Of Saul.
1--WE are Influenced too much by
what the world says or does instead
of by what We know to be right and
best" he said. Take, for instance.
the question of lmpurIty. The world,
III its careless way, says the man may
indulge his appetites and his passions
and he is received in society and is
regarded as passabTe but the woman
who does the same is ostracized. That
is an example of the Judgment Of the
world. Shall we conform cur stand
ard of life to such a standard as that8
Us 1t ever right to desert principle
for expedlency? In business, you
know, the opportunities which come
for making gain by Misrepresentation
are many, and we say The other ma
lions do 1t, the other people do 1t,
why not we? Granted that thera
comes a temporary gain by that
course. can you Justify 1t before your
God?
~ do not think 1t is any greater sin,
in the eyes of God, to drink beer than
to drink water. 1t isa question of the
abuse of the beverage"

THE WORD

Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Oh! word is a gem, or a stone, or
song,
Or a fame, or a two-edged sword
Or a rose in bloom, or a sweet per
fume,
Or a drop of gall, is a word.
You may choose your word like con
noisseur,
And polish It up with art,
But the word that sways, and stirs
and stays,
Is the word that comes from the
heart.
You may work on yolr word a thous
and weeks,
But it will not glow like one
That, all unsought, leaps forth while
hot,
When the fountains of feeling rum
ym may hammer away on the anvil
of thought,
And fashion your word with care,
But unless you are stirred to the
depths that word
Shall die on the empty air.
For the word that comes from the
brain alone,
Alone to the brain will speed;
But the word from the soul finds
broader goal,
And that is word men heed,

Revolutionary shonning.

Mrs. Compton looked at her patient
but bewildered husband with an ex-
preston OF good natured superiority,
''Dear me, George" she said cheerfully,
II don't see the use of my trying to ex-
plain to you, but I'm perfectly willing
to do it, of course.
Il did intend, as you say, TO buy a
kitchen table, and l came home with q
hall mirror. But it was an absolutely
natural change.
"First l looked at kitchen tables.
Then the clerk called my attention to
the kitchen cabinets, with drawers and
everything. Then l said how much
they looked like bureaus, except that
they had no glass. Then he showed me
enc with a glass, and then he said he
had such a pretty bureau if cared to
look at it.
$50 looked at that, and it was pret-
ty, but the glass was rather small. So
then he showed me q dressing case
with good sized mirror, and l said
what nice glass 1t was. And then he
said, IL you want TO see n fine piece Of
glass, let me show you one Of our new
hall mirrors
''And of course, George, you can ul-
derstand that when I saw that beauti-
ful mirror ! had 10 have it; and you
know you don't like me to run up bills
in new places, and l hadn't enough to
buy kitchen table, too, so-now isn't
it clear" r?"-Youth's Companion.

Rrrma and Ruddhism.

Burma is n country dominated by an
idea, or, rather, a set OF ideas, which
owe their origin to the influence OF
Buddhism. The Burman holds the view
that this life Is a sorry thing at the
best and that the wisest course Is,
therefore, to get through 1t with as
little care, worry and anxiety as posi-
BILE. The world is nevertheless at the
same time full Of good things, which
all can enjoy. Therefore why toll for
wealth, which brings only burden or
care in its train? Why strain every
nerve when possession means the anx-
iety to hold and preserve. The bounte-
Gus earth supplies rice for the needs OF
all her children, and while there are
love and laughter and gayety to solace
us, while leisure can be secured and
peace maintained, let us enjoy and be
happy. Here we strike the keynote Of
the life of the Burmans. Strangers
call them lazy, but they are not idle
except on principle. They can work
splendidly when they choose, but they
have long ago decided that to turn the
world into workshop, to toll inces-
sanity for a mere subsistence or In
order to gather up riches, is folly, as
doing SO destroys the pleasure of ex-
istence. As soon as farmer has made
q little money by selling his crop he
gives play, or pwee, to his town or
village.-Cornhill Magazine.
