WISE WORDS.

Most of difficulties are neglected
duties.
It takes an uplifted eye to keep a
clean heart.
When ambition weds avarice as
piration dies.
No man can be great until he can
see greatness.
Living for men Is the best evidence
of loving God.
He can not pray for himself who
prays only for himself.
The evil we remember is surpassed
by the good we forget.
It takes some frost to ripen the
best fruits of the heart.
The weeds of prejudice grow best
in an intellectual desert.
II there is nothing heavenly here
there is no heaven there.
Inclination always furnishes the
most convincing argument.
Watch your works and your wings

Every choice in life is an impact
that determines the shape of char
acter.
No man ever succeeded in walking
one way when he was looking an
other.
II you sell your soul you will never
be able to make enough to buy it
back.
You always can measure man by
the things that provoke him to ner-
riment. l.
You can always get fine feathers
with money, but fine face you can
not buy.
The preacher who trembles before
the great has great cause to tremblc
for himself.
There Is no vital power in relig-
ion you can pigeonhole into one day
of the week.
Many a man mistakes stock OF
pious quotations for riches of relig-
ious character.
The ideal that is only dream and
never q deed is always detriment
to the character.
Men of business will be in the
church when the church gives them
some business there.
Many who think they are defend.
ing the faith are only barricading
truth out of their lives.
Your religion is not to be meas

great souls, discern the grandeur OF
the honest man, however colorless his
lot, the sufiiciency of the most meager
circumstances for the attainment OF
the higher ends; and our Lord pre-
eminently enforced these great les
sons.
He who revealed so much, revealed
the essential glory Of the unheroic.
BY His example, not less than by His
word, He taught that life does not
consist in the abundance, the unique
ness, or the splendor OF what we
possess. "Few things" are enough
for many sided discipline of charac-
ter. A superior mind, a pure heart,
discovers rich and infinite entertain
ment in ordinary duties and Joys, from
which coarse souls turn with loathing
as being insipid and worthless. A
philosopher tells us to study small
variations of the commonplace; and
no doubt If we do this intelligently
and sympathetically, we shall need
no other dramas or romances.
The dreariest lot has openings for
magnificent charity and sacrifice.
The most prosaic calling, duly inter-
preted, is replete with glory. honor
and permanence, and is crowded with
eternal recompense.
There ought not to be in any hui
man life servility and dependence; no
painful need or vulgar wretchedness
should embitter and degrade; drudg-
cry proper, beggarliness, meanness
and pauperism form no part of Gods
ordination for any man, and there
Is much seriously wrong when such
state of things is possible. Our
Lords life was just as far from vul-
gar poverty as from vulgar greatness,
sordid wealth, or selfish gaiety.
None need be ashamed of the COM
mon lot; it's honorableness, it's eff
cacy, its boundless possibilities have
been demonstrated by Him who is at
once our supreme Teacher and Ex-
ample. A special silver medal was
recently given by the Botanic Society
to an exhibitor who showed how to
convert an ordinary and ugly wall
into a delightful rock garden. Our
great Master can teach US how to con-
vert the poorest, dreariest life into a
thing of beauty which shall also be a
Joy forever.

Overcome Evil With Good.

"Be not overcome of evil, but over
come evil with good Aim at that
which is good, cleave to that which
is good occupy your time with that
which is good, fill your thoughts with
that which Is good, and the assaults
of evil will have lost half their power.
An earnest employment, steady
purpose in life, a diligent use OF
time-these are an irresistible pan
oply against vice, these strike out OF
the Devils hands his worst imple-
ments of temptation.
You will remember that terrible
truth in one of the Lords sternest
parallels, about the evil spirit return
ing to the house whence he came out.
and finding it "empty, swept. and
garnished; then goeth he and taketh
to himself seven other spirits more
wicked than himself, and they enter
in and dwell there, and the last state
of that man is worse than the first.
What does that empty, swept, and
garnished" mean? 1t means that IL
your heart Is not pre-occupied with
good, 1t will be invaded by evil.
Oh, beware of idleness in its every
form, idle representations, idle talk.
idle habits, idle thoughts, these are
the certain ruin of the soul. The
laborer who stands idle in the mar
ket-place is ever ready to be hired
in the DEVILS service. The worm of
sin gnaws deepest into the idle heart.
Pre-occupy your heart with good;
pre-occupy your time with honest in
dustry, and you are safe. Whatever
things are true, honest, just, pure,
lovely, of good report, If there be any
virtue, any praise, think on these
things. Evil can as little encroach on
the domain of good as darkness can
force its way into the circle Of radi-
ance which a lamp filings into the
night. Remember that since all sin
begins in thought, II your thoughts
are safe then you are safe.-F. w.
