MEMORIES.

A cottage near the murmur Of the sea,
a memory Of sacredness to me,
0 childish prayers learnt at mothers
knee.
A garden where the fairies seemed to
dwell,
In courts Of flowers, heartsease and
asphodel,
The sweet moss rose, and nodding heather
bell.
Long evenings, when we watched the sun
set die,
And vanish slowly from a rose-dipped sky,
Whilst overhead we heard the sea-birds
cry.
a crowd of faces-Ahl had l but known
The silence that would come TO that
hearthstone!

in 4 short time the streets were packed.
Because the floors burned through so
quickly, 1t was impossible for the fire
men to venture far into the building and

attacked the blaze from front and rear
and from adjoining roofs with many
lines of hose, including stand pipe

when these burned away the floors fell"
Others say that the building was a

by Chief Clancy and others upon eXamin-

GODS LOVE A GUIDANCE.
Bv Rev. A. W. s

In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths.-Prov-
CRIBS 3 6.
When seized with q mortal malady,
General Grant passed his last days in
writing his very interesting memoirs.
Knowing that his way in this world
was rapidly drawing to an end, there
came to him a deep sense of Gods
gracious guidance, and SO he began the
story of his life by saying:
Man proposes and God disposes.
There are but few important steps in
the affairs of men brought about by
their own choice"
1t is the common experience. Gods
overruIing hand may seem more mani
fest in the case of such q man.. and
yet it is just as real in the lot of
the lovly as in that of those that "sit
in the seats of the mighty"
"EIis mercy is over all His works"
"In Him we live and move and have
our being"
His gracious guidance is not for the
favored few only. 1t is over US all.
1t provides for all men and blesses all
men in proportion as they are willing
to be blessed. Seeing that it is so, we
should thankfully recognize the Divine
Providence that is over US all. 1t should
be the ground of our confidence and
the strength Of our hope for ourselves
and for our fellow men.
Even though many seem to live as if
without God in the world" we may
hope for them still, for the Divine Prov
idence has not yet been fulfilled in
them. If God bears with them, surely
we should also. He loves them still,
for all their willfullness and way
wardness, and often in ways that we
know not Of He brings the wanderer
back It may be through a sorrowful
way, but His hand is over them still,
and so we can hopefully leave them
with Him who is doing for them all He
can. He does not force His way into
our hearts, but waits for an opening
door, ready to come in with blessings
as soon as ever He can find room.
Now, as of old, TO as many as re-
ceive Him gives He power to become
the sons of God, not in possibility only,
but in very deed and truth. He can
not help those who do not will to be
helped, but He is always helping the
heIpable and blessing the blessabIe and
saving the savabIe, and so we have the
right to say with him who said:
I say to thee, do thou repeat
To the first man thou mayest meet
In lane, highway or open street.
That he and we and all men move
Under a canopy of love
As broad as the blue sky above.

Here is the imperative demand OF
every ideal, that it shall occupy first
place. The things you set first in your
endeavors, in your affections are the
things you will attain. No matter Of
what good things you may dream, it is
the things you really, at bottom Of all,
desire that will be yours. 1t may sur
prise some of us to see the prizes with
which we shall at last be found, and
yet they always will be those of our
supreme choosing.
But the ideal demands more than the
giving up of things that conflict; it de-
mands service, expression through
work, through activity. 1t is not
enough to give up the things that him
der; these things must be made to
serve the lofty ends of the worthy ideal.
Where unworthy affections have been
cast out there must be no empty places /;
love still must be there, but directed
into new channels.
If you would be great you must do
great things You must not sit down
before any task simply because it is
high. Duties are not to be admired !;
achieving is attempting. Better the
humblest effort to do some great thing
than the most highly developed pictur-
ing of the ideal that satisfies itself with
the picture alone.
In a subtle way high idealism be-
comes the foe of worthy realities. How
easy it is to substitute dreaming about
heaven for any attempt to bring
heaven to our everyday lives. How
easy to praise the love of God as a
substitute for the practice of the love
of man.
The religious life is the life that
sees the high visions of life's pOssibili-
ties, cherishes these visions and stead
lily, at any cost, with this as the
supremely worth while aim of living,
seeks their realization, counts all
things as worthless compared to this,
that fullness of life may be found for
ones self and made possible for all
others.
II not the man VINO dreams the
dreams of coming glory, but the man
who daily does all his little deeds in
the light of that glory who is doing
most for this world and for his ideals.
The great question is not whether you
can talk poetry, but whether you are
willing to pay the price of the ideal
life.
it we'll; it needs more who will work
for its veal, to whom it's welfare, the
realization of its highest good, is the
supreme thing in life, that for which
they are willing to sell all else and to
take up any cross. By their deeds
shall their ideals be known.

JAY GOULD CHAMPION,
American Wins Tennis Honors bv De-
feating E. H. Miles, an English
Player.

LONDON, May 23-The Olympic
games court tennis competition came to
an end this afternoon at Queens club in
a victory for Jay Gould of New York,
who defeated Eustace II. Miles, the
English player, in three straight sets.
The scores were G-5, Cd, Cd.
This is the third defeat in inDortant
matches of the present year that Mr..
Gould, the American British champion.
has inflicted upon Great Britain's best
player. Mr.. GOuld's success of today
was most decisive. On the occasions of
his previous victories, he was a little
stale from a long period of training.
On the other hand, q few weeks of rigid
training and constant practice in the re-
cent tournaments improved Mr.. Miles
form When the pinch came, however,
the American player seemed always to
have something up his sleeve and while
his strokes today were not quite so Sc
we're as usual, his judgment always came
to his aid when an extra effort was
necessary.
On several occasions Mr.. Miles was in
the lead, and at one time he seemed to
be sure winner of the first set. the
score standing % in his favor. With
splendid rally, however. the American
gradually evened up matters and event
ually captured the set.
The Englshman again took the lead in
the second set, the score at one time
standing 30, and later 4-3 in his favor.
but Gould ultlmate Y won. In the third
set Miles went to 30 before his oppent
found himself and took the next game
Miles captured the next and the score
stood 81.
Gould won the next three games. and
the EnGlishman won the eighth, thus
making the score Il. This was Miles
last rally, for Gould won the next two
games and the match. Counting by

COFFEE AS WEDDING GIFT.
Peculiar Custom Which Is General
in Concentrating Countries.

Peculiar Custom Which Is General
in Concentrating Countries.
"We have custom in the coffee
raising countries" said Senior Joaquin
Nabucco, the Brazilian ambassador to
the United States, (which is unknown
in other parts of the world. When
a child is born in the coffee country,
a sack of the best grain is set aside
as part of the inheritance, to be re-
ceived on attaining it's majority. Usu-
ally the sack is the gift from some
close friend or relative, and it is
guarded as sacredly as if it were
gift of gold or bonds. No stress would
induce a Brazilian parent to use cot
fee which was made the birth gift of
child. AS a rule it is sealed with
the private seal of the owner and bears
a card giving all particulars about the
variety of grain, its age on being sack
ed and the birth of the child to whom
it is given and other details which
are very interesting when the gift is
due
Generally the coffee is opened for
the first time when the child marries.
The coffee for the reception or mar
riage feast is made from the legacy,
and, according to precedent, this must
be the first time The sack is opened.
After the coffee is made for the we'd
ding feast the sack is carefully closed
and sent to the new home of the young
couple, and should keep them in this
staple for a year at least. When both
bride and bridegroom have the birth
gift Of coffee they have started life
under very hopeful conditions, so far
as one necessary is concerned. Few
people know that the older the I'M
parched grain of coffee is the better
the favor. Like wine it grows with
age, and that which is over twenty
years mellowing under proper condi-
tions will bring from S1.5O to So q
pound from cOnnoisseurs. The giving
OF pounds Of green coffee is a COM
mon practice in the coffee belt. Friends
exchange these gifts and compare re-
suits. When one cannot afford to give
a sack of coffee it frequently is the
case that ten pounds of the best green
is packed in fancy case and bestov-
ed on newly born child, with direc-
tons that it must not be opened until
the wedding day."-New York Press.
