EPIGRAMS.

From sunday Sermon byRev. III. Preston
The process of making character, as
a product of conscientious labor and
refined skill, transcends in importance
and beauty the best achievements of
painters, sculptors, poets, and other
artists in their chosen field.
Every human being begins life in
just the same ignorance of the art of
living as it no one had ever lived be-
fore him. Despite all the experience
which has been preserved for our in
struchon, we must work out our own
problems in life.
Life is essentially a piece of work
manship on which human beings are
to bend their skill and intelligence.
This has been the conception of life
which has inspired the greatest minds
| of all times.
How particular we ought to be in
the work we do on Our lives. For,
when this season of apprenticeship
is over, the only possession which
any of us will have is character, the
product of living.
A man should remember that there
is no least thing in life that does not
| affect character. The characters of
human beings are frightfully married
by work not done to the measure of
ones ability.
We are bound to meet what we turn
out. The shoe hat blacksmith is
forging, that piece of embroidery the
needlewoman is fashioning, that task
the ~schoolboy is droning over, that
ship the architect is shaping, will
rise up in the toiler's character some
day to bring JOY or shame to the soul.

"One night she appeared to an old

dazzling was the vision of the goddess
that the old lady was %speechless.
Finally she summoned up enough
courage to place her hand to her
mouth, meaning she would like
enough to eat for the rest of her life.

marked Choy Come, Eve told to our
illustrious father of the temple and
the strange gods. He said it was not
of a necessity that we should under
stand the ways of the foreign devils
gods, and that we should learn the
language as he had commanded. and
let their devils gods take care Of them
selves. Still, he thought it was meet
that we should listen even with polite
ness to all the discourse of she of the
blue eyes and attend the feasts."
will she of the blue eyes give you
many gifts at the coming feast?"
asked All Oh.
I'VE know not how many We will
receive" answered All Yeung. I'VE
write of what gifts we wish on paper
in the foreign devils tongue. of which
we have a knowledge, and give the
paper to her of the blue eyes"

All OF sat on the steps in the hall OF
a tenement house in Chinatown wait
ing for Choy Come and All Young,
who attended the mission school. The
children always told her OF the days
happenings in the outside world or
which she got but glimpses from her
window or the open hall door. Choy
Come and All Yeung were her neigh
boris children. and she was in the
habit of waylaying them in the hall
and with presents of nuts and ginger
coaxing them to tell her Of the days
doings at the mission and of he PEG
pie on the street. or. in fact, any little
piece of news or gossip the children
might pick up on their way to and
from school. All Oh would listen with
childlike curiosity.
Chov Come was the first to enter
the hall. and when she saw h figure
OF All Oh move she drew back with a
frightened cry.
"Oh. elder brother" lisped Chov
Come in her native tongue. there is
an evil spirit on the stairs and we

Are YOU sure it is an evil splrlt?'

All Oh. why did o not call ont
when we entered as you We're wont?'
The day has Shadows said Chov
Come. and besides the enemy of our
worthy father died yesterday and we
must make many offerings to our
household gods lest his spirit returns
to haunt our dwelling"
You were long in coming from the
temple of the foreign devil. What did
she of the blue eyes tell you to-day?"
I'VE have heard of a great feast that
that is coming answered All Young,
| in which presents are exchanged. In
the foreign deVlIS tongue 1t is called
Clis'mas. In truth it is the feast of
their god called Jesus Clist.'" re-
marked Choy Come solemnly.
The foreign devils have only one
! god, while we worship many" said All
OF proudly.
But there are other gods Of the
foreign devils, and she of the blue
eyes told us not the truth declared
All Yeung. Even yesterday there
came in the mission a boy of the
street who took the pictures at ate of
the sweets which she of the blue eyes
offered. but listened not to her dis
course. She said he was of the clan
called 'Ilish, who are wild and hard
to change. When Choy Come and I
