Practical Points.

The tempter gains power over the
innocent by first undermining their
faith in God. He sowed doubts in
their hearts.
Every one must fight the battle OF
life, and gain the victory if he would
be true man and good. No one can en-
ter upon the great world of life and
usefulness without first being tempted
and tried. Thus at the beginning of
the Christian life comes the great
temptation-the battle as to who shall
rule the soul: its success is CONVEX
sion, the entrance upon the new and
the true life

The Art of Talking.

To be good conversationalist you
must be spontaneous, buoyant, natural,
sympathetic, and must have a spirit of
good will. You must feel spirit of
helpfulness and must enter heart and
soul into things which interest Others
You must get the attention of people
and hold 1t by interesting them, and
you can only interest them by a warm
sympathy-a real, friendly sympathy.
If you are cold, distant and unsympa-
thet;c you cannot get their attention.
To be a good conversationalist you
must be broad, tolerant. A narrow,
stingy soul never talks well. A man
who is always violating your sense Of
taste, of justice and Of fairness never
interests you. You lock tight all the
approaches to your inner self, every
avenue is closed to him, aud when they
are closed your magnetism and your
helpfulness are cut off, and the CONVEX
sation is perfunctory, mechanical and
without life or feeling
You must bring your listeners close
to you, must open your heart wide and
exhibit broad, free nature and an
open mind. You must be responsive, so
that listener will throw wide open
every avenue of his nature and give
you free access to his heart of hearts.

wears out a pair of silk gloves every
two weeks because the thumb and fin

can make the thumb and fingers of her

Each Of you who leaves has his des-
tiny in his own hands," said Mrs. Bal
lington Booth to the inmates Of Hope
Hall, the shelter for discharged prison
ers which she has established In Chi
cago and largely supports. I'VE can
shelter you for q space" she continued
I'VE can find work for you where you
will be received for what you are and
not for what you have been; we can
help YOU somewhat to be true men, but
the most Of it you must do for your
selves" This utterance is particularly
cOmmendable because it looks the facts
squarely in the face and shows no tine
ture Of the delusion, lately 80 fashion
able among half-ba Psychologists"
that the criminal is almost wholly the
product Of environment and should
not be held really responsible-that 80
ciety' and not the criminal Is really
guilty of the crime. The nonsense OF
this argument appears the moment we
consider what is the real motive Of the
most common crime, that of theft. In
the overwhelming majority Of cases any
real investigation conclUsively demon
strates that the thief was not compel
led to steal or starve''--tO borrow the
c4nting ALTERATION 50 often used-nor
did he begin stealing because that was
the universal habit about him. On the,
contrary, In the overwhelming majority
Of such cases any real investigation
conclusively demonstrates that the
thief began 70 steal because he had
taken counsel of his laZiness and had
come to the false conclusion that 1t was
easier to live by stealing than by work
ing, and had been confirmed in that
falsehood by the success Of his first
predatory enterprises. What fills our
penitentiaries Is not poverty, but iazi-
ness-coupled, Of course, with lack Of
real intelligence, but primary laziness.
Nor does Mrs Booth suggest that be-
cause a criminal has served his SEN
tence and thus, as is sometimes said,
paid his debt to society," therefore So
ciety should forget out Of hand that he
ever was q debtor. That his offense
should be remembered Is as much a
part of the criminals punishment as
that inflicted by the law. 1t Is neces-
sary part, for men have learned by mil
lenniums Of experience that they can
not for their own safety afford to for
get who were debtors merely because
a debt has been paid. There is a diff
ference between forgiving and forget
ting We can safely forgive what we
cannot safely forget. We are admon-
ished to pray forgive our debts as we
forgive our Debtors" but with all his
infinite charity Jesus of Nazareth did
not urge praying for torgetfulness of
offenses. The repentant criminal readi-
" receives forgiveness, but he must
earn forgetfulness By proving himself,
by his conduct, worthy Of 1t. He can
earn forgetfulness, but no one can give
it to him. He must earn it for himself.
