Where to Find sublimity.
1t is our spiritual nearsightedness
which can see sublimity only in a hill
top or find poetry only in the forest
depths. There is sublmity there, but
there is more where human soul
rises mountainlike over the mutitudes
In a great city. There is melody in
the woodland, but there is diviner
music ia the chorus Of the city life
where souls lift themselves up and
sing the daily antiphon Of mutual need
and help.-Rev. d. T. Calvin McClel

Social Fabric.
The social fabric depends not only
upon the fraternity of men, but quite
as much upon our faith In the absO-
lutte moral integrity of each human
brother. Self interest, to be sure, is
one of the motives of human conduct
but it cannot be carried TO any degree
of success, for it soon blinds ones
eyes wholly to any idea of brother
hood. 1t is too apt to create the lu-
preston that whatever most benefits
the Individual himself will be of great
est help to the race, which we do not
need to be told is not always the case
