tians. One of the first things true
religion does for people is to make II
possible for people to live with them.
1t may be probable that fault-finding
and complaining people will escape
Dureatory, but it is certain that those
who have to live with them do not.
1 am sure God has a special crown
of beauty in heaven for those people
who are compelled to live on eartn
with disagreeable people.
In possessing Christ as our lie
and our truth and u way, we nave
a specific for the worlds unrest and
care and a sure prescription for hap
piness. He was a wise and skillful
doctor who, when one of his patients
described to him her symptoms,
wrote this prescription for her: Go
home and read your Bible for an hour
every day." I notice that somebody
Is proposing that the Office of priest

have no objection If there could be
a corresponding doubling Of time and
capacity. There is 10 doubt that
soul sickness is the cause of much OF
the worlds ailment. Christ came to
heal Nhe worlds woes, and the bur-
dens of humanity contemplate that
men shall be wise enough to accept
divine help in carrying the loads
which would not have been aid upon
the race without a Great Burden
Bearer. 1t must be remembered tnat
true happiness Is a celestial exotic, as
Sheridan sings:
True happiness is not the growth OF
earth,
The soil is fruitless if you seek it
there;
IT'S an exotic of celestial birth, 49,.
And never blossoms but in celestial
air.
Sweet plant Of paradise! Its SEEDS
In here and there a breast of heav-

II rises slow and buds, but ne'er was
known
To blossom here-the climate Is
too cold.
And however Bobbie Burns may
have failed to fulfill in his own pa
thetic career the theology OF MS
songs. It was not because his lips or
his Tyre lacked the true gospel OF

It's no in titles nor in rank;
It's no in wealth like London banK'
To purchase peace and rest.
It's no in making muckle MAR, -

But never can be blest.

The Golden Rule.

This civilization makes me think
sometimes that things are tending to-
ward the practice of the Golden Rule.
Yet how far away from it are we.
If among Christ's people, with wealth
in their hands, this rule was prac-
ticed; if these people would devote
their inheritance toward the advance
ment of the kingdom, as Christ did,
how far we would advance along the
line.-Rev. A. ]. McKelway,

Frightened by O Latin Name.

How to warn off trespassers with
out spring guns has been discovered
by a canny peasant in the. south OF
France. His woods were invaded by
nut pickers. He asked a botanical
friend the Latin name for the hazel
nut, and put up the following notice:
"Caution-All persons entering this
wood do so at their own risk. The
Corylus Avellana abounds here, as
well as other equally venomous
snakes" Not a trespasser has ven
tured into the wood since.-NeW

stand still and look at Him, not to
argue about Him. Look at His

of trust, obedience and generous
love.-James Freeman Clarke.

Candlepower of Modern Lighthouses

A comparison has recently been
made of the power Of the lights In
French lighthouses at various periods
in the past thirty-fve years. In 1874,
when only oil lights were used, the
highest power was equal to $4,000
candles. In 1882, when the electric
light was introduced, the power rose
to a maximum of 100000 candles.
Since then frequent improvements
have been made in the electric lights
until, at present, the most powerful
lighthouses project al illumination
nearly equal to 100000 candles.
