Can't Count on Rules.

No hard and fast rules can be given
as to how they should be decided.
There is no general proposition which
will determine what adventitlous aids
to study are legitimate and what are
unfair. No absolute line can be laid
down within which man may take
advantage OF technicalties and remain
gentleman. Weak minds have eter-
nally tried TO take shelter behind such
rules. and have thereby eternal
~ stamped themselves as weak.

cate some of these principles, in the
hope that they will help us to distin-
guish true values from false ones; In
the hope that some Of us may thereby
be helped to form the habit of choos-
ing the right In cases where the wrong
looks specious, and yet more perhaps
in the hope that some OF YOU who by
instinct and sentiment have chosen the
right and are being discouraged at the
result may see how some things which

Lifc's Activity In the Past.
Our lfes activities may be divided

scious. The former are Inose whose re-
suits we see and know and measure Of
the time, The latter are those which
we see and know very inadequately
and measure not al all. There Is ten.

which helps us to guard against mis-
takes Of judgment; and better yet, 1t
furnishes lis a set OF motives and in
spirations which will enable us 10 put
that scale into use.
A man with whom ambition Is the
dominant motive-a manwho, In the
language OF the text, seeks great
things for himself-is liable to three
kinds Of mistakes: mistakes of dis
honesty mistakes of selflshness, and
mistakes of judgment. He may ar
range his work so as TO make the
most show. without regard to the sub
stantial qualities underneath. In
other words, his life may be insincere,
Or he may plan TO do work which Is
what It pretends to be, but may
choose more or less consciously those
actions and those objects which he
thinks will make for his own inter-
est, and neglect those which beneft
others only In other words. his life
may be selfish. Or, last and most
common OF all, without being either
very insecure or very selfish, he may
yet place his attention on what he re-
CARDS as the things that count-the
things whose visible results he can
see and record--to the exclusion OF
other things perhaps equally impor-
tant or more important, which do not
leave record in his own mind or that
of his associates.

An Important Lesson.
If there Is one moral lesson which
the gospel lterates and reiterates, II Is
the importance OF these unconscious
courtesles or dlscourtesies, these uncon-
scious honesties or dlshonestles, Our
God desires mercy and not sacrifice.
The cup OF cold water given In Christs
name Is worth more than hundred
labored attempts to acquire merit In
the Day Of Judgment the wicked Will
be condemned, not for the great sins
which they have committed, but for
the little services which they have left
unrendered the righteous will be dis
tingulshed, not by the great deeds that
they have remembered, but by the lit
tie deeds that they have forgotten.
