unsusnected Danger.

Tasteless poison is the most dam
gerous kind, for it shows no danger
signals to tell us of its presence in
food or drink. There is less to be
feared of carbolic acid than of pto-
maines.
The devils tasteless poisons are
the sins of omission. Whenshe would
get us to commit active sin, he must
try to conceal the fumes of taste or
smell, and it is not always easy TO do
this. So he prefers to begin with the
suggestion that we simply leave some
thing undone, and most of US swallow
that poison unsuspectingly.
There is no great harm in staying
home from church or Sunday-school.
and down goes the poison. So with
the letter We did not write, the Word
for Christ we did not speak, the Book
we did not read; how the great
poison-mixer must chuckle over the
success of his tasteless draughts! For
they are deadly character-wreckers,
and sure forerunners Of other sins
from which we would at first recoil.
Watch and pray against the sins Of
omission.-Church Echo.

Memorial Day.

Three generations stand by the tombs
of the soldier dead to pay tribute to the
Nations heroes who gave their lives
to the cause of the Union. The COM
rades of those who fell, their children
and their grandchildren, join in mark
ing the last resting place of the Repub-
lies martyrs. There is annually notice
able a deepening of the sentiment of
gratitude for these mems sacrifices,
and of appreciation of the value of
their services. The new Americans
are able even more accurately than
their predecessors to grasp the sig
nificance of the titanic struggle be-
tween the States and it's effect upon the
worlds civilization. Theirs is the
historical perspective, and through 1t
they see a reunion of the sections, not
as a political achievement, not as a
sociological phenomenon, but as a step
in a great progression toward q ma
tional ideal.

day Of tears. Personal grlefs are OF
course reawakened and losses are fell

graves of the soldier dead with flags
and flowers is in no sense gloomy or
morbid. 1t is uplifting, inspiring, re-
assuring. 1t is a wholesome cere-
monial, significant of the survival of
patriotism, of the fruits of sacrifice,
of the glories of reunion. The tears
that are shed are often tears of 10Y.
The graves are honored resting places.
The emblems placed upon them are
tokens of the esteem and gratitude of
millions of people. The widow, daugh-
ter, son or g%randehild of the soldier
sleeping under the sod can not but
feel proud of his participation in the
great strife for a vital principle and
exult in the signs of a Nations de-
votion to him and his comrades.

John? 1t is indeed pathetic to see
how he loves you, and yet you pay
him SO little attention"
Decoration Day was drawing near,
and a celebration was being planned
to take place at the town hall. There
were to be speeches and singing, and
a famous speaker was coming up
from the nearby city to address the
old soldiers. Uncle John was up
early that morning. He was to march
in the parade with the rest Of the
Post, and seats were to be reserved
for them in the hall.
"Olive, you must co." urged her
mother at the last moment, and final
ly, reluctantly enough, Olive consent
ed. But as she took a seal with her
mother in the hall, festooned with It's
flags, its bunting, its flowers, a little
culver of patriotism swept over her
for the first time. Memorial Day did
mean something, and when, in a few
moments, the old soldiers filed in,
most of them old men with white hair
and trembling steps, a tear shone on
M Aoa6 4c5LC0, 1ol OlIfO was IOL d
wilful girl, only a very thoughtless
one. After the singing and the re-
peating of Llncoln's speech at Gettys-
burg, the speaker arose, an erect man
with a keenly intellectual face full of
force and strength. He began with a
tribute to the gray-haired veterans
before him; told how, when a small
boy, he first became a patriot by lis
tentng to a one-armed soldier in the
city hall of Boston give the history
of the different flags gathered there
and the battles they had been in. He
spoke of Lincoln, that tall, plain, an
gular man, who, at the firing of the
guns at Fort Sumter, took the posi-
ton he did. HAS it ever occurred
to you," he went on, 'that Lincoln
might have acted a little too hastily
or a little too late? But no; the
psychological moment came. He
seized it, and the wal went on to a
victorious close" He spoke of Grant.
Sheridan, Sherman-and then he
paused a moment. MAY l ask" he
added, eff there is anyone here who
was in that march to the sea-that
famous, memorable march, now
passed into history?" Q
Olive sat still. She wished some
one of those old veterans sitting near
had been there. And then, in the
hush and stiffness, someone arose.
1t was Uncle John, old and bent and
feeble, but with a faint flush upon
his withered cheeks.
"Ah!" cried the speaker. 81 con-
graduate this Post"
And then in the twinkling of an
eye, handkerchiefs waved and hands
clapped enthusiastically. 1t was all
over in a minute, but how everyone
enjoyed it! And as Uncle John sat
down, 10! the years had rolled back.
