The asylum board has Instructed |
that an inventory be made of the ar

the time of their arrival, which has
been stored in the garret of that in-
stitution and some of which has been
there for 20 years, the owners of
which have been dead for a long
time.
There are stored away in the gar
ret OF the asylmm more than a hum
dred trunks and about 800 valises
and different styles OF cases. or
these. the owners of so of the cases
and 80 of the trunks are dead.
The trunks are OF all styles and

trunk TO the mammoth size usually
used more for the storing away OF
goods rather than for the moving Of
them. There are trunks which are

Originally ice-chegts, egg-crates and
various other kinds of cases, but
which the ingenuity OF the owner has
transformed into some kind of re-
ceptacle for clothing.
One is able TO fairly well deduct
the cause which placed the unfor-
tunates in the asylmm by a glance
through these trunks. Here a trunk
almost filled with bibles makes II
plain that the person who owned Il,
became mentally unbalanced because
OF religious fervor. Another, from
which several hypodermic syringes
and needles rolled. as II was turned
over, told only too plainly the truth

minded him, for in Silesia he was well

him the ghost had not been explained.

man came down to breakfast pale,

whom we love and whose example we
are to follow. has taught rs to pray,
"Forgive us our trespasses as we for
give those who have trespassed against
US" Oh. for a baptism Of divine love!
"And the greatest Of these is love"
There is a star that beams on earth
With tender. lovely ray,
That lights the path Of generous worth
And speaks a brighter day.
1t is friendship.
There is a tie. a golden chain,
That binds with stronger hand
Than iron shackles Of the cell
Or all the arts Of man.
1t is love.
There is a gem. a pearl Of worth,
As lasting as the skies.
More dazzling than the gems OF earth;
Its splendor never dies.
1t is truth.
Three angel spirits-evermore
They guard our thOrny way.
And those who follow where they leao
Can never go astray.
For God hath given them alike
To childhood and TO youth,
And age is mellowed by the touch
OF friendship. love and truth.

ali your life in the service Of your fell
low men. though you become a pauper
for their sake and go to the martyrs
stake. II you do not love your fellow
men. in Gods sight all your deeds OF
self sacrifice will go for naught Yes.
yesi How superlative does Overtop su-
perlative when Paul is celebrating for
us the power and the necessity Of love.
Now let us ask ourselves why love is
so essential in Gods sight and why
love should be the predominant pas
sion of every human heart.
Now. what is love? Love" says the
photographer. lis a feeling Of strong
attachment to another. 1t is pre-emi-
nent kindness or devotion TO another.
II is affection. 1t is tenderness. 1t is
the bond which binds mother TO child
and husband to wife and brother TO Sis
ter and friend to friend" That Is the
definition which ! have abridged from
different dictionaries. That definition
means this: Love Is the strange pow
er born In the human heart, which, Ike
a long arm. reaches out and draws an
other life into that heart and makes
the joy and the happiness Of that other
life more important than the joy and
the happiness Of its own life" In 9th
er words. love is the power which
will make a human tree graft upon IT.
,eIf other human branches, and then
hat original human tree shall live sim
ply for the purpose Of bearing luscious
,ruit for the benefit of some other hu-
nan life" In other words, true love
inds its happiness in the benefits which
hat human life can bring to other
ives rather than for the benefits Of its
,wn selfish life.
