Love is Religion.

The love Of a child for its parents,
Of husband and wife, Of friend for
friend, or Of a man or woman for
some favorite animal, all testify to
the existence of unselfsh tendencies
in human nature. There is not only
a desire to be loved, but a;necessity OF
loving, of going out.of ourselves and
attaching ourselves to another beings
In the truly good man, however,
this disposition is supreme; andsint
the absence of 1t no one has any right,
to assume the Christian name Be
fore we have that right love must
be our master, and no profession OF.
belief in God a be sincere il it is
not shown by a generous and untaint-,,
ed love for our fellow-men. Thus
many who in these days denounce our
Christian civilization do SO with no
little justice. When we see Christiant
nations armed at all points spending
millions of money and training mil
lions of men with the express pur-'
pose Of setting them to destroy one
another If a quarrel arises, the UNI
christian character of much Of our
civilization cannot be denied: When
we so often see the wealth and lux;
ury, worldliness and selfshness, of
members of the richer elias ses, while,
those by whose toll they thrive are
often left in large numbers to live
a life Of hardship, and privation, we
are sceptical as to the; reality of, the.
religion which they profess, They
Ray give some little ofitheir surplus
to feed the poor; but it Is not always
out of love for them, but simply out
Of regard to what they consider to be-
a social obligation. T. !
Surely If our civilization or even,
our religion wererootedan %grounded,i
in love, things would be very differ
ent; for he that loveth not his brother
whom he hath seen cannot love
God whom he hath not seen. He
that loveth God must love his brother,
also. 1t must not be thought that
love is like a mere obligation which
wei are bound to fulfil, a law we are
commanded to obey. 1t is far more
than that. 1t is the n condition by,
which we rise to a higher and a d.
viner life. 1t leads to the knowledge
of God and to fellowship with God,
for he that loveth knoweth Cod

The Right Answer.

In an address to a temperance So
ciety, Admiral Caps told a story
which is printed in the New York
Tribune. ..&.
A man who had ruined his health
with alcohol sat looking sadly at his
wife, to whom he had made many
promises Of reform.
Jenny" he said, you are a clever
woman, a courageous, good woman.
You should have married q better
man than ] am"
She looked at him, thin limbed and

CHAPTER Nv.
Continued.

After a four years absence Mrs.
Mistley's son was coming back, and
the day when he had left was as fresh
in her mind as ever. She could recall
the very expression of his face as the
train moved away-a handsome, boyish
c~ountenance, with q peculiar rigid pur-
ity Of outline, expressive of too great
n degree Of refinement for comfort iii
this world. He had left England a
merry, reckless boy, with no great
sense Of responsibility in life; and now
he was coming back q man, with q
name among his contemporaries, with
a definite purpose in life. She won
dered vaguely whether he would be
much changed, whether she would now
find him thoughtful and serious.
At last there was a hustle in the sta
tion, and a troop Of porters assailed the
platform, arriving in the most aston
ishing manner from all sides. Then
the great locomotive came clanking in,
with a mighty sense Of its own import
anc and general superiority over the
mere local engines around it.
A moment later Mrs. Mistley was
looking into that face she had so
longed to see. Even amid the confusion
and excitement of the greeting, she
found time to marvel that there was so
little change in it-a little browner,
perhaps, with a hard, dry look which
spoke of great h~ardships borne man
fully, and testified to exceptional pow
ers of endurance.
Where is Charlie" were Vineyards
first words. While his mother was ex-
planning that her younger son would be
detained at Greenwich until later in
the day,-the colonel approached with
Mrs. Wright at his side. No form Of
introduction was ATTEMPTED; the old
soldier came forward with out
stretched hand, and as he tosk Mrs.
Mistley's fingers within his, he bowed
with a peculiar old-fashioned courtesy
which conveyed a wondrous amount OF
admiration and respect.
MRS. Mistley!" he said, II should
have known you anywhere. We car
ried a photograph Of you in our dis
patch case for many months. I think
iWinyard considered it the most
precious document there"
And which," added that respectful
youth, gayly, 1.-The colonel left lying

one of which was found adhering to
the person Of a native dog. How do
you do-Mrs. WrightT'
The young fellow became suddenly
silent, and turned rather hastily to find
the luggage. There were unshed tears
in Mrs. Wright's eyes, and perhaps he
was not quite sure of himself; at all
events, he was by no means sure of

was afflicted with q soft heart.
Presently the two small boxes were
found and placed under the "a eiof a
porter, who shouldered them both at
once with much zeal. He saw how the
land lay, and knew that his reward
would be greater than his deserts.
After having arranged that Mrs.
Mistley and her two IN should dine
with them in Seymour street that even
ing, the Wrights drove away, and
mother and son were left alone TO-

Brains of Great Men.

Brains Of great men vary very
much. 1t is found that men Of en-
cyclopedic mind have large and
heavy brains--Gladstone had to wear
a very big hat with an enormous bed
of gray matter and numerous con-
v%olutions; on the other hand, men
whose genius is concentrated upon
one line Of thought are Of small brain
and, consequently, have small heads.

ReJg;um's Sugar Production.

Belgium's extensive cultivation OF
sugar beets is nearly sufficient for its
1875 sugar factories and rehnerles.
The only factories importing beets
are near the frcsrtic,. The importa-
tons in 1905 amounted to S17,1T3
tons, against 1862 tons in 1904.
Belgium consumes only twenty per
cent. of the sugar it produces, ex-
porting the rest, amounting to 94,22o
tons in 1905 and 120,031 in 1904.
The yield for 1905 was twenty per
cent. in excess of that Of 1904, due
to an increase in acreage and to bet
ter crops.

After being lost for two days, dur
ing which the entire countryside
Joined in a hunt for her, f~our-year-
old Margaret S%chweitzer, daughter OF
a well-to-do farmer Of st. Joseph,
Mimi, was found unframed in a
VOLTS den in the forest. The child
was we'll and apparently %contented,
but scolded her rescuers for having
driven away the nice little doggies"
with which she had been playing.
The child said she had discovered the
path leading into the thicket and had
followed it, and that she had not
been cold or hungry, because she had
plenty of nuts to eat.

Observation-Disclosures, went to town one
day and transacted his business with
the utmost precision. He started on
his way home, however, with the firm
conviction that he had forgotten
something-what it was he could not
recall. AS he neared home the con-
viction increased, and three times he
stopped his horse and went carefully
through his pocketbook in a vain en-

gotten. In due course he reached
home, and was met by his daughter,
who looked at him in surprise and
exclaimed: why, father, where have
you left mother?"
