charit,'c Biggest Achievement.

The highest achievement of char
ity is to love our enemies; but to
bear cheeriully with our neighbor's
failings is scarcely an inferior grace.
1t is easy enough to love those who
are agreeable and obliging; but to
love one who is cross, perverse, tie
some, is as unpleasant a process as
chewing pills. Nevertheless, this, the
best way of practising it, is to put our
selves in the place Of him who tries
us, and to see how we would wish
him to treat us IL we had his defects.
We must put ourselves in the place Of

we buy, If we want to deal fairly

LEARNED BY SAD EXPERIENCE.
Kafir Lad Found Out Just What q
Beating Meant.

Just as Kafir is slow in locating
Jain which is being experienced in his
own body, SO is he slow in imagining
what others are suffering. A grown
up kafir related, says Mr.. Dudley
Kidd, in Savage Childhood" that
when he was child his father threat.
ened him with beating if he did
something or other.
The child was puzzled as to what
sort OF thing beating might be, for
although he had often seen his bigger
brothers beaten, his imagination was
unable to work; on the sight and re-
construct the experience of these 9TH
ers into terms CT his own senses.
When his father threatened him,
therefore, he simply laughed, for he
had not the remotest idea Of how a
beating really felt 1t took very
short time for the young gentleman to
extend the boundaries of his knowl-
edge.
Swift retribution followed the un-
pardonable sin of showing disresDect
to his father. AS the children go
about entirely bare, there was no de-
lay Tor preparation. The father took
stick and applied it vigorously, "ac-
cording to directions" and with entire
success.
