In the fishing village of Auchmithie you

while the gull was away, the herman
removed his home some three and a half
miles from the former place.
The fisherman never expected to see his
old friend the gull again. 1t was. there
fore, much to his establishment that he
beheld on recent Sunday the sea bird
come walking into his new residence with
stately steps to resume his old familIari-
ties and household ways.

The Reform of Society.

From the Southwark Diocesan Chronicle.
1t is mistake to imagine that human
society can be reformed by mere organi-
cation; for the church at least. treatment
in the mass can never take the place of
treatment of the individual. You must
have that personal effort, the one life
bending down to lift I'D the other.

choice between God and Mammon, be-

will give up health and peace and
domestic happiness and social enjoy
ment and the soul itself. Men lie and
cheat and gamble and steal and op-
press the hireling in his wages, all to
pile up greater fortuDes than their
neighbOrs. No wonder our Lord
speaks Of the" e"Geceitfulness OF riches"
and says, "Ilow hardly shall they that
have riches enter into the kingdom of
heaven. Now, the riches of Egypt
might have been at the command Of
Moses. but he turned from them all to
become poor in the service of his God :.
And in renouncing Egypt he also
renOTnced the hOnOrs of the world.
Not all worldly hOnors are corrupting.

sold himself, soul and body; has bar

and all that gives true manhood it's

Now do not misunderstood me. l
would not teach that the man Of God
may not have pleasure nor wealth nor
honor, for he may honestly come into
possession Of them all. Abraham was
rich in cattle and in silver and in
gold, yet he was a pious man. He
was man OF such strong faith and
