Fat Men And Jobs.

Employment agents say Ats about as
hard TO get work for a fat man as for
a gray haired one. According TO their
statements, employers of labor hold
that a fat man is indolent. They assert
that the hustler. the fast, nervous, en-
ergetic worker, is sinewy, rather than
fat, and does 80 percent more work
than the soft, fat fellow. 1T is not
uncommon for us TO advice fat appli-
cants TO diet" said an employment
agent "and reduce their weight be-
fore beginning to canvass for a job"

Heavenly Father, thou Divine
Father of our human spirits, we
bring to Thee our little power; touch
1t with new life, giving us to realize
that IL is part of Thy power. We
bring to Thee our little wisdom; en-
large and raise 1t through the sense
that IL is part Of Thy wisdom and
that as we commune with Thee we
may become more like Thee in wis
dom. We bring to Thee feeble love;
strengthen it, o God. through the
consciousness that 1t is indeed Thy
love inspiring us. Fill our hearts
with larger and a deeper love.
We thank Thee, o God, for the
opportunities OF our life. Some
times the means and the occasions
which are ours seem to us so slight,
so small. and so insignificant. Some
times Thou revealed to us that we
have great opportunities. May we
be conscious, o God. of the greatness
OF our present opportunity. Gathered
from the lands of the world. belong
ing to many nations. living from day
to day under varied conditions, we
would realize that Thy spirit should
be ours now, during this week.
through all our lives. Join us. o
God, together in the sense of a deep
unity, in the sense that our great
object is one, that, however diverse
our circumstances, We may be one
in Thee. May we dedicate ourselves
in all humanity, but with full aspi-
ration, anew to Thy service.
Our Father which art In heaven,
ballowed be Thy name. Thy king
dom come. Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread, and forgive us
our trespasses as we forgive them
that trespass against us. And lead
us not into temptation, but deliver
us from evil. For Thine is the king
dom, and the power, and the glory.
forever and ever, amen.-Rev. Henry

The Boy and Not the Fault.

Under the probation law the boy
is judged rather than his fault. His
honor for the moment Is not an ar
bitrary dispenser OF justice, but a
court father who, knowing what man.
ner OF boy he is dealing with. advises,
warns. and Furnishes as parent
might. The probation law Is the
agent OF fair play. The tendency OF
progressive reformers In to treat the
delinquent child az a child, and not
as a morally responsible miniature
adult. Dependent children who are
also under the Jurisdiction OF the~ju-
venile court are treated as wards OF
the State, and disposed OF according
ly. But the delinquent child, who H..
perhaps, no less the victim OF circum-
stances, until recently has had TO be
condemned before he could be cor
rected. Under the probation law. IL
is possible TO set bad boy In the
way he should go without putting
any stigma upon him at all.-From

The Successful Life.

Gods will is mans life. To know
IL is to gain life's meaning. To follow
IL is TO find lifes pleasure. To finish
il is to gain life's crown. True sue
cess must follow this divine law or
living. No success is worth the name
that is not stamped with the divine
approval. II you are a business man
your success will not be measured by
the dollar sign, but by a more lasting
token, Gods approval. The dollar Is
far below the deed In the estimation
Of the Almighty.
Life is, after all, the essential pos
session. Upon its character depends
destiny. Life outlasts the world. and
it's deeds have a more enduring quail
ity than its possessions. Deeds await
the coming of the Son of Man. True
success will be measured then. II is
no chance work, however. The Mas
ter, by both example and command,
puts His disciples In the path to such
success. IF a man would come after
Me. let him deny himself. and take
up his cross, and follow Me-" That
is a high ideal with a plain condition
Of its attainment. Such a following
of Christ makes a truly successful
life.-George X. Lunn, ID. D., In Chris
tian Intelligencer.

The Power of His Resurrection.

Let us who believe in the Lord OF
life no longer seek the living among
the dead. Let us not go with Mary
to the grave to weep there; but let
us stand where she stood after she
had recognized her risen Lord In the
light of the Easter morning, and with
joyful heart exclaim, "Rabboni!"
To know Him and the power OF
His resurrection" is to have JOY for
the mourning. the garment OF praise
for the spirit Of heaviness. st. Paul
says he counts all things but loss
for the eycellency OF this knowledge.
And we'll he may, and so may we;
for without this knowledge all other
things are very small gain.
To stand beside sepulchre weep
ing, or with thoughts that lie too
deep for tears" is the universal hu-
man lot "since sorrow set her bleed
ing heart on this fair world OF ours"
But bitter tears are shed only by one
who hopelessly says: They have
taken away my Lord" We tarry
at a sepulcbre only when faith Is
under an eclipse. With spiritual
sight of Jesus and the recognition OF
His voice, "in whom, though now
we see Him not, yet believing, we
rejoice with Joy unspeakable," we
turn away from the empty tomb,
knowing that II Is only the gateway
of life, that grief is an avenue to
richer Joy, and the light afilction
is a factor in the eternal weight OF
glory.-Christian Advocate.

Animals Succeed a. They Approach
Generally Accepted Ideal Union.

IL is commonly remarked that while
the Mosaic law did not expressly for
bid polygamy, IL surrounded marriage

that the animals in their blind crop
Ing for an ideal form OF union have
gone through the same stages. and
have arrived at exactly the same con-
clusion. Monogamy is their best So
luton of the marriage question, and
is the rule among all the higher and
most successful animals.
There are four degrees of mono
gamy. One, in which the male stays
with one female as long as she inter
ests him or desires mate. then
changes 10 another: for his season may
be many times as long as hers. Thus
he may have several wives In the sea-
son, but only one at time. This is
convenient for both parties, but IL is

A second kind, i'm which the male and
one female are paired for that breeding

young till they are well grown; after
which the parents may or may not
resume their fellowship. This is ad
mirable. II is seen in hawks. A third.
in which the pair consort for life, but
the death Of one leaves the other free
to mate again. This is ideal II is
the way of wolves. A fourth, in which
they pair for life. and in case Of death
the survivor remains disconsolate and
alone TO the end. This seems absurd.
II is the way of the geese.
Upon the whole. we find the animals
