most popular men in his class when a
student--On Friday evening at his villa

were used lavishly in the decorations
Dainty bon-bon dishes OF the same
glowing color and crimson candlestick
with crimson shades added to the stun
ming effect OF the table. Many of the
dishes served were garnlshed with
crimson leaves, and the whole effect
was most brilliant and fine COM
pliment to old Harvard. Speeches,
toasts and songs made the evening pass
right merrily. Mr.. Wilder is a prince

A Vast Difference.

There was never any haste at Aunt
Euphemla's table, consequently Dor
othy, the youngest of all the nieces and
nephews who gathered at Poplar Hill
In the summer, had learned what to
expect. Everything was served by
Aunt Euphemia, and age had strict
precedence.
There came day, however, when
Dorothy, returning to the family din
ing-room after season spent in her
room with sore throat, found at her
place a little delectable apple pie, SO
small that it seemed as If 1t must be
meant for her alone. Nevertheless she
determined to be cautious.
Am I"-she looked anxiously to-
ward the head Of the table, where sat
her awe-lnsplring relative-"am l to be
aunty for this pie, or is 1t all mine,

Short Meter Sermons.

Character never is complete.
Hypocrisy is the gold of virtue used
to gild vice.
The man who does nothing does much
harm.
One thing believed is worth million
things denied.
A good home Is the best sermon
about heaven.
No man is refined until he is purged
Of selfishness.
You cannot attain purity by any
process of polishing.
If you cannot learn humility you
cannot bear elevation.
The man who is ashamed of his re-
liglon has none to boast of.
Laughing at little trials is more than
half of winning great triumphs.
There is no virtue in doing right in
such way as to lead Others wrong.
Light-hearted people are those who
always are looking for the sunshine
Many think they are doubling who
only are lodging the duty of thinking
It's always surprise to those who
nurse their woes how soon they grow
up.
Renouncing our own sins Is better
preaching than denouncing the ways Of
others.
If you make your mind a cesspool
your life certainly will have an evident
Ill odOr.
There already are too many trying
to clean the world by sweeping it with
searchlight.
The world has suffered good deal
less from thinking without saying than
from saying without thinking
It's no use inviting a man to rest on
the gospel of peace if you hand it TO
him on the end Of pitchfork.
When once you have tasted of the
happiness of making others happy Won
viii cease to worry about heaven.

careful and troubled about many things
and yet neglect the one thing neces-
sary. Martha's life was strenuous and
yet Christ preferred that of Mary.
What is this one thing necessary? 1t
is, of course, to do the will of God. He
has made us and not we ourselves. We
belong to Him entirely. Therefore,
what He wants of us we must give
Him.
And what does He want? He wants
our hearts, our love, our affections
Nothing will satisfy Him but that. All
these things that we are SO anxious to
do He can do Himself and do them
much better than we can. But He
wants our love and He cannot get that
If we withhold it from Him. And why
does He want it? Because He loves
us.
A husband who really loves his wife
Is not satisfied If she merely gets his
meals, makes the beds, sweeps the
house and mends his clothes, or even If
she does all the useful things possible,
If her heart Is all taken up by the chill
dren or by her friends. He wants his
right place in her heart; nothing else
will do instead.
1t is the same with God. No amount
Of good or useful wort that we can do
for the welfare of others or the good
of the State or of society or the up
lifting Of humanity or anything else
satisfies God unless we begin it by CIV
ing Him our hearts. If we never come
near Him, never have a word or
prayer to say to Him, have our pleas
ure and joy altogether outside of Him,
We may be busy from morning TO night
and it will count for nothing with Him.
To accomplish anything of solid or
permanent value in His sight we must
do 1t to please Him. And everything
which displeases Him we must avoid
for His sake. Our souls must be pure
and clean in His sight If we want to
uplift humanity we must begin by up
lifting ourselves. Loving God will up
lift us; without that nothing else will.
This does not mean that we are to
sit down and do nothing. Indeed, we
cannot fall back on that even If we
would. Most Of us have to be more or
less strenuous If we are to live and
God wills that we should live. But
there Is no danger of our being lazy
If we really do love God, for there is a
great deal that He has for us to do.
But we must do it for His sake, and
the first and most important work is on
ourselves.
The one thing necessary, the will of
God for us, Is that we should be in
union by love with Him. If we are
really in this union everything else
will follow. If we are not, nothing else
that we do Is Of any use to Him or to
ourselves.

The minute Postmaster General
Meyer had expressed himself as seri
ously considering the feasibility Of add
ing a parcels post to the postofiice
service with limit Of ten pounds
weight on packages carried there was
a rush of arguments from certain quar-
ters to show why such service would
be impractlcable in the United States,
although every other country could use
1t. The central assertion on which the
arguments depended was that distances
were too great in the United States.
1t was claimed that with a uniform
postage rate depending on weight alone
the government would lose all the
profitable short distance matter and be
compelled to carry all the long distance
matter at loss, which the critics did
Of any information as to the exact plan
Of the department, at minimum Of
S150,0O00O0 year. 1t may or may
not be the case that thorough parcels
post system would have to modify to
somc extent the method so successfully
employed In European countries. But
here arc some facts as to what the gov
ernment finds Itself able to do to-day
in the way Of giving parcels service to
and from foreign countries, which bear
on the problem. Packages may now be
40 OF oP
American countries, to Germany, Great
Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
and Belgium, and to Australia, New
Zealand, Japan, Korea and many Chin
ese cities at the rate Of IL cents a
pound. For the majority of these coun-
tries the maximum weight Is eleven
pounds, and to none Is the permitted
weight less than four pounds six
ounces. The packages may be three
feet six inches in length or six feet in
length and girth combined. This serv-
Ice is given, even though domestic par
GELS cannot exceed four pounds in
weight and cost cent an ounce or 16
cents pound. At the cheaper foreign
rate packages may be carried the full
length Of the United States and then
to foreign country. And even more
striking discrimination against domes-
tic service Is to be found in the case of
matter classified as Commercial pa
per-" including deeds, invoices, manu-
script and so forth. This can be sent
abroad at the rate of 1 cent for two
ounces, while at home 1t costs full
letter postage rates of 2 cents an ounce,
just four times as much. Apparently
there would be no terrific danger of
immediate ruin should the government
try to experiment at home with the
service it now can give to foreign coun-
tries.
