 Measuring Success.
 A man attains his throne when he reaches a position of power however great or little 1t may be. His kingdom Is success. Success or failure Is meas. ured by what God knows the man to be capable of performing. A mu- sicians success will not be measured by the standard of the minister's. nor the schoolteacher's by that of the law yer. nor the preachers by that of the shoemaker. Each must be tested by the standard of his own capability. There are thrones. then. for kings in- Elmerable in all avenues of life.-Rev pr. J. s. Wadsworth. Methodist. Brock. ton, Mass
