WORDS OF WISDOM.

Saintliness does not grow by sigh.
ing.
Doing is safe path to any doc
trine.
Love lifts the lover more than the
loved.
selfshness short-circuits any
prayer.
It's poor kind of good cheer that
makes Others sad.
You cannot possess any more re-
lision than you practice.
Genius is simply making the most
OF whatever you may have.
Crowns on the head are not won
by wearing frowns on the face
You ~cannot grow in grace while
you're fattening old grievances.
When the preacher is fishing for
praise he does not catch souls.
Woeful looks are sure to come
from too much looking within
He who makes light of love soon
loses himself in the night of hate.
Responsibility is Satan's best pres.
ent-day substitute for righteousness.
There's little virtue in abstaining
from the evil when we ought to op-
pose it,
In the light of the larger life we
will be able to measure our gains by
our losses.
The man who wants to be first in
the parade never wants to be in front
in the battle
The preacher who rides a hobby
seldom tries to harness it to the Cos
rcl wagon.
When a man SCOTS at good things
re may be trying to appease envy
with derision.
It's the little sins we cherish that
at last set us around chasing TO do
their bidding.
When man looks on repentance
as city of refuge for the future,
he is likely to find .he gate locked
when he gets there.--Home Herald.

Character is EVERYTHING

Saints are made by saints not do
ing extraordinary or uncommon
things In an uncommon way, on un-
commonly high principles, in an un-
commonly self-sacriflcing spirit. Be
sure that this is the only substantial
thing.
The bits of knowledge that we call
our learning, the bits OF property
that we call our wealth, the moment
airy yanities OF delight that we call
the conquests of social life - how
swiftly they hurry to their graves,
or are lost in forgetfulness! Moth
ing. nothing else but character sur
wives, and character is Christ formed
within. Character is a symmetrical
growth, having its roots in unseen
realities, and its conscious source In
the living God, and its perpetually
replenished supply by communion
with Him. There cannot be a de-
veloped and healthy saint without a
constant putting forth of vitality and
vigor in a principled activity of use
and exercise of righteousness Hunt

A Poets Testimony.

Herr Dehmel, one of the greatest
living German poets of the modern
school" says: Il have attempted sew
eral times to write poetr..' under the
influence OF liquor, but the next morn
irg 1t appears to me to be mere
word play monstrous fancies or con-
fused unconscious "reminiscences. 1t
Is needless to say that Herr Dehmel
is now a total absta.ner. A certain
author and writer in Chicago who
was accustomed to stimulate a
tagged brain with the use of brandy
died few years ago under peculiarly
distressing circumstances. MANY
newspaper men who arc obliged to
work very much at high pressure on
rush editions are accustomed to keep
themselves up with stimulants. The
practice is always fatal ultimately to
the best results, and the writer vino
lorces himself by such means Is
doomed to disappointment.

A Thought For The weelr

Whisky drinking is the greatest
eyil that confronts the human race at
TINS time II stains the character, it
is the advance agent of poverty and
distress; II lmpairs the intellect, it
humiliates kindred, alienates friends
ana eradicates pride. First 1t exhila-
rates, then exalts, then banishes re-
sponsibility; but when the reaction
comes, the pendulum swings Just as
iar the other way.--Judge Jeter c.
fritchard In his recent address at

SCATTER FLOWERS AMONG THE
LIVING.

Scatter flowers among the living,
Do not save all for the dead;
They no longer need their fragrance.
Resting in their narrow bed;
They are with the blessed angels,
Where the flowers never fade;
Clothed in garments pure and spotless,
In the mansions God hath made.
Some are bent with heavy burdens,
As they journey on life's road;
May we not strew sweetest blossoms
II we carry half their loads
Then the God who watches DER us,
He who knoweth every thought,
He will send us many blessings,
With the sweetest fragrance fraught.
May the sunshine on our faces
Shine upon some face that's sadl
It may help 10 Danish sorrow.
II may help to make them glad
Give to them the choicest blossoms,
Some of kindness, some Of love:
Help them feel there's hope remaining,
Point them to the home above.
