Tho world has a memory wherein it

Tho world has memory wherein it
treasures up the lives and deeds of
great men and women who have been
its lights and ornaments. The world
has a memory for those who proclaim
ed freedom to the oppressed, for its
scholars and poets, for its philanthro-
pists and benefactors. The memory Of
such persons shines forth brightly like
stars of the first magnitude forever.
Every individual has memory, and
in 1t live a vast number of dear forms.
They emerge from far distant isles.
They start up from heaps of ruins
which once were cities. They rise from
battlefelds, from the bottom of the sea.
In every family circle and beneath
every domestic roof there are invisible
forms the stranger cannot see, yet are
present to the minds eye of the house
hold. The dear father and kind mother
never cease to live in the heart and
soul of their survivors.
Since the Almighty has blessed man
with this faculty to raise the dead and
to recall the goodness and righteous
ness Of his departed ones, Is 1t not rea-
sonable to believe that He will preserve
these good souls and retain them in
His remembrance forever, as 1t is said,
"in everlasting remembrance shall the
righteous be held"?
Comparatively few live In the great
worlds memory and have their names
engraved in marble and iron or writ
ten down on parchment. Yet we all
may find consolation in the fact that
we are not perishable. For 'in ever
lasting remembrance shall the right
eous be held" Every good and right
eous man or woman whose life is ey-
emplary, devoted to godliness and holi-
ness, will be held in everlasting remem-
brance live in the memory of Him
whose existence endureth forever.
Therefore, 1t doesn't matter If the
world does not know us or hear Of us.
1t matters not If everybody else forgets
us If we are remembered by the AL.
mighty. z
To live in His memory is to live In
peace, in joy and delight forever. The
world may grow old, languish and die,
nevertheless the righteous will live and
flourish In Gods everlasting remem.

time. The fifth place was taken by
another American, Benjamin Franklin,
with 21 votes. Others for whom pref
erence was expressed were Florence
Nightingale, 13; Marquis Oyama and
Nelson, IL each; General Kodama, z;
Bismarck, 8, and Napoleon, 4. There
were also scattering ballots for Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Galileo, Socrates, Pc
ter the Great, and others. Probably the
vote was Influenced by stories that the
pupils, found ip their reading books,
and If the question had been asked
them whether they considered the for
eign heroes greater men than those Of
their own country, 1t Is not likely that
they would have answered In the af-
firmatiye; but the desire to have the
portraits Of such men as Washington,
Lincoln and Franklin placed on the
wall Is one indication Of the feeling
with which the United States has long
been regarded In japan.

Throughout century and a quarter
the tendency Of the nations Of the
world has been toward diffusion Of the
governmental powers. For the first
time evidence of reactonary dispo-
sition to trust all to the one strong
man appears in nearly all the larger
nations at the same time. We see no
more than curious coincidence IN the
unhappiness Of these present days in
all the parliaments of man. Democra-
cy is not dying anywhere. The only
moral to be drawn Is the happy one
that individualism Is not morlbund
either. The nations know and trust
their strongest sons. There Is no
man on horseback" He only seems
mounted to little men because his head
Is high above the crowd.

TERMS SOME PASTORS JoNAHs.
BY Rev. A T. Rartlatt


The story of Jonah has more fiction
than fact In 1t, but that should not
lessen Its spiritual value. The book
OF Jonah has long been the enigma of
the Old Testament, but from the many
grotesque, absurd notions that are
heard we must believe most people have
spent very little time studying 1t. For
Its size this book is the most beautiful.
the most tender Of all the books of the
Old Testament. The great lesson Is
concerning the Wilderness of Gods mer-
cy. There are some Jonahs occupying
pulpits who take unto themselves the
keys Of heaven and ordain themselves
to render Gods judgments for all eter-

,,ts You Ca cannot noo,l knit the souls of men
Your credit in heaven depends on
earth's debts to you.
To attempt great work is to be-
come great worker.
The practice Of happiness does much
Tor the power Of holiness.
Living in itself is the great lesson in
making life.
There Is no profit in the friendship
that knows no investment Of the self.
No man ever found this world a
weary place who had worthy work to
do.
It's no use talking about the religion
IN your heart If it is not visible in your
home.
Life is to be measured not by Its
rewards In things, but by Its reach and
vision.
When the pulpit sees no good in any
one the pew is not likely to seek the
good anywhere.

Dull His Life Might Seem to the
Young, but 1t Yields Enjoyment.
Il find as l grow older" said the
middle-aged man, that am more
and more a creature of routine.
When / was young man routine
irked me and liked variety, but now
1t is change that irks me. like now
to do my appointed work in the regu-
lar way, always the same, and to spend
my leisure hours in like manner.
MY work is routine, and 1 would
not have 1t varied If 1 could; In fact,
varying 1t would upset me more or
less. AS 1t is, work along through
the day by regular, successive stages,
coming always to the same things at
certain regular hours and minutes, and
at night / go home at a fixed hour
always by the same train to get off at
the same station, and to make my way
thence homeward always by the same
route, past the same buildings, the
same show windows, the same signs,
the same everything, to my home.
"Tiresome? Quite the contrary.
Sometimes somewhere along my route
they put in a new storm front or some
one sells out and new tenant comes
in and new sign goes up, and really
these things interest me very much, be-
cause they happen in my streets. Real
ly these things seems quite like events
to me, but they are all the events I
want.
And then when get home I do
enjoy my dinner-for that matter, in
my way, 7 enjoy everything-anda after
dinner l like to sit down, always in
the same chair, and smoke and read,
and here, again, confess l don't like
to be disturbed.
Il get my mind fixed and my enjoy
ment started on whatever l am read
ing, and don't like to be Interrupted.
Somebody speaks to me and 1 turn to
the speaker, but it must be with lit
tie vagueness certainly don't fully
understand what the speaker has said.
And when they see that look they say,
good humoredly:
"'Oh, let him read
"Whereat politely protest, with now
every evidence of attention; but they
say kindly:
"'Oh, go on with your reading and
they mean l shall do SO, for at my age
I am privileged person.
Sometimes they try to get me to 60
to the theater. Now. l like the thea
ter, but don't like to go, because the
going breaks in on my routine; and
then they laugh at me and call me an
old fogy and leave me home; and real
ly that suits me best, because l do like
to get to bed comfortably at my regu-
lar hour and get my regular nights
sleep. .ss
$50 routine life suits me best.
True, if all men were like this there
would be no progress; but let the rest
less young people attend to that.

but l scarcely think selfish; and the

IN MEMORY OF ALMIGHTY.
By Rev. DR.. Falk vidau.n

In everlasting remembrance shall the
righteous be held.-Psalms xi., 8.
Man lives not only In the present
but also in the past. The days of his
childhood belong to him even though
his hair has turned gray and his ewes
are closed. Heaven has endowed man
with the faculty Of memory, which is a
striking intimatlon, a foreshadow Of
Immortality. 1t enables him to behold
scenes long vanished, forms that for
years have ceased to be corporeal, to
bear sweet voices long hushed In death.
